I love it, especially that they included so much dancing cause he's a dancing machine and I love seeing him dance. And also the colours are really nice and fit the song and concept. The parts with the lightning in the back are my favourite. Also the song is amazing. Thank you for reacting to this! You should react to more Taemin.
Um. Song of the year in my opinion. The more you listen to it. The more addicting it gets. Just. Pure. Epicness. (On a side not please check out criminal too it's bloody good.)
This MV/song exemplifies why Taemin is the King of Kpop. The entire album is a MASTERPIECE. This MV continues the storyline from "2 Kids" (Prologue) and "Criminal" (Act I). Taemin is caught in the prison of his own mind -- heaven and hell. The "silver terminator" represents his present ego that he's trying to change and elevate. They are facing off for the final battle. In "Criminal" we had present ego Taemin holding the emerging new ego Taemin captive. It's a love/hate relationship. The present ego thinks he, himself, can be the messiah achieving the perfect Taemin. It might help if you understand the concept for Act 2 of this album. Taemin stated that it's based upon Plato's philosophical Theory of Forms. While I understand the concept of this philosophical theory, my 18 YO daughter expresses it in writing better than I could, so here is how she explained it: "I think Taemin is chasing after the idea of "Taemin." Just like Plato's world of forms, there is an intrinsic idea of the "identity" of "Taemin." Taemin is chasing after this identity to reach higher levels of "Taemin-ness." Just as we have an idea of a chair, (a throne is considered a type of chair because it has "chairness"), so Taemin has the idea of "Taemin-ness." As Taemin tries to go further in his discovery he realizes that it is impossible to reach true "Taemin-ness" because it's perfect, and perfection is impossible for the flawed human to reach. Only a higher power made the concept of a "chair" or the concept of "Taemin" and only perfection is able to realize them." In other words, Taemin, through this new album, has stepped up a level into a newer and better "Ego" by abandoning and leaving his former "Ego" behind--the Ego who thought he was the messiah or could bring forth the messiah (perfect Taemin) through sheer will alone. We see the struggle between his dark former self trying to hang on and the newly emerging, brighter Ego breaking free into the light through the lyrics, images (light and dark), and dancing. I believe the "bar" scenes are the real Taemin being tormented by the struggle within his own mind. The bright blue-clad Taemin in the heavenly skies is the new ego and the "idea" of Taemin that the real Taemin is trying to achieve...(confused yet?...lol) "The shadow is holding the night and getting darker"…..but…."Inside my heart under, under, under, beautiful silhouettes….sweet voices….you are my messiah" leading him into the light and a new level of Ego and the idea of a new Messiah; a higher power outside of himself. The use of the word "messiah" as the perfect idea to be achieved fits in with Taemin's Catholic worldview. The Hebrew word "Mashiach"(Messiah) means "the anointed one". In the New Testament, Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed one, perfect, and a higher power, as illustrated in Plato's forms. He's searching for the Taemin that God intended him to be -- Perfect Taemin. However, he's being held back by his present Ego who thinks he can do this on his own. That is his struggle -- pride and arrogance, or let go and let God lead. Intuitively he knows that perfection is "beyond the limit of realization" and he grasps for "your shadow I finally found" and "throw myself into the ideal," he understands that "all the colored emotions inside become the unlimited range." Despite knowing and feeling there is perfection within himself, he can't access it alone and this inability to bring it forth through force keeps driving him but "The brightest presence in my world, the absolute value, you, my idea, you are killing me." Why? Because as an imperfect human he can never reach the perfect fulfillment of Taemin until death and resurrection. "The dangerous dream that swallowed me is proven by You." This "idea" that he can be perfect through his own effort and merit has been "killing him softly." "On the night I cut you out from my heart (his present ego) finally I open my eyes." At the end of the video he's finally shaken free of the old and put on the new Ego with greater understanding and enlightenment. He's ready to let go and let the true Messiah (the perfect, anointed one outside of himself) take over. This is all just speculation on my part garnered from what Taemin has said and being Christian myself, although not of the Catholic denomination. I actually don't subscribe to any particular denomination as they force limits and man-made doctrines that Christ never intended from my point of view. Another song on this album is our long-awaited release of the complete "Heaven". Taemin sang a portion of this song at his concert, and we SHAWOLs/Taemints have been begging him to release the entire song, and he did! I'm sure it was intended for this project all along, and HE DIDN'T DISAPPOINT! The song is stunning. I hope you will react to the lyric video.
Taemin is a legend and regardless of what fandom you're a part of you have to recognise that he is the best dancer in K-Pop at the moment. Let's face it there is a reason what he is literally the idols idol.
Taemin is a wrecker! He gave his all for his album the same time he was in SuperM! See his dance practice of this song you see how smooth he is with his years of dancing!
MV is gorgeous. Taemin is gorgeous. I have nothing to say... Wait, you're awesome too. Thanks for the reactions. At least with someone I can share these beautiful and awesome moments. Love youuu🖤🖤🖤
And by the way he’s jimin friend since 2014 they dance together on musicbank show and it was dope soooo good together and perfect 🤩 and the fan of LEE TEAMIN in korea calling him the Michael Jackson virgin of kpop 😂💜🔥
@MUSA The squat is comfortable to Asians. It is called the 'Asian Squat' because 99% of them can do it with no pains experienced. Basically, they can low squat with bottom to the floor with their feet being flat. Other races we can't and do a low squat on our tiptoes or ball of feet. Taemin is known as one of the best dancers in K-pop for a number of years now. If IDEA blows your mind (mine too) then CRIMINAL will do that too. Keep up the good work Musa and I appreciate that you wait 24 hours to react to an MV. Basically, that time gives the fans enough time to set a solid base of views while not being distracted by their favourite reactors. I love watching your reactions!
TAEMIN OMG IDEA -"killing me softly"-female voice BoA 💎 Taemin's style is so good that it is breathtaking💎It's a masterpiece! I absolutely love it!!!💗💗💗Taemin deserves his own genre. Nobody does it like him. Taemin-pop. Such a one of a kind artist💜💎💜Taemin said that this portion of his album was based upon Plato's Theory of Forms
You know I am waiting for your reaction because I just know its gonna just put a big smile on my face....And you did not disappoint 😂😂💯 and the the song is 🔥🔥🔥 what in terminator two is happening hereDEAD!!!!😅😅😅 The video is DEEP!!!
Omg you haven't done criminal dude you got to see it. Taemins criminal mv and dance practice! The dance practice has mj thriller all over it. Also the stage performance of black rose taemin killed it. Black rose is sexy, sensual and soul snatching I can't wait because you are missing out. Pleeeeease check them out and more taemin please. Thank you
you love MJ right? Taemin idol also is MJ and Taemin well known as KOREAN MJ bcs of his killing,sharp,sexy and gentle movement..and he is kai and jimin bestfreind.. YEAH THE MAIN DANCER THAT KILL U IF ONE DAY THEY PERFORM ON THE STAGE TOGETHER,, but taemin already dance with kai once and jimin once on the stage.. but three of them if they did i will die sure!!! u can watch their interaction also if they go to awards they love to seat together and gosipping HAHAHAHA...
abt the crop top xD Taemin said he always sees women to wear it, so he wanted to 'break the norms' and since he wear that, he found out the difficulties girls going throught because of these & that he now understands how hard it is. It may be pretty but it's not easy for the girls tho he right o.o 😂💕 boys have rly high standarts sometimes si they like to play judges 🧸
The female voice is BoA (a senior SM Ent. artist and solo/dance Queen). The Asian squat dude 😂 Not everyone can do it. It's a squat is difficult because your feee must be on the ground as in heel to toe must be flat on the ground. Basically all Asians can do it.
About the crop top: especially in the kpop industry It's normal to categorize specific things to genders ("only this is for males/females). Some Idols are against it and crossing the "gender line". Taemin was one of the first Artists who does that (especially since the song "move" came out). Not only with the clothes or Make up but also with choreos etc. So it's not even surprising😂😊 Now there are not only some male idols wearing crop top or skirts but also female idols wearing suits or "manly" clothes😊 Sadly there are stil many kpop-Fans who rhink it's gay ¬.¬
actually i believe he started to do those moves for his first solo album; ace. at least i think its called ace. maybe thats the mv tho. that he does the naughty.
You don't react to Criminal, it's your call, you give a deal a thousand likes up to you, not our problem if you didn't or don't react to Criminal MV from a legendary Kpop artist Taemin I tell you, don't say 'if it's nice play it twice' when I watch you finally reacts to Criminal coz I will laugh 100 times at you!

I Really liked it, I thought that it was an interesting concept for the mv
I LOVED this one but Criminal is my favorite, it completely destroyed me.
Heat taemin went in🔥🔥

the woman who sang the "killing me softly" part is BoA and shes well respected korean artist under the same entertainment which is SM
#queenofkpop Boa

Wait till Musa realizes Taemin has a side/hip tattoo that they covered up when he had the white crop top on, SHOW THE DANG TATTOO!!

Killing me but definitely not softly. I expected less from "ACT 2". But Taemin never disappoints. Masterpiece again
