Regarding the lyrics, yeah he's said there is no other person involved but he's talking about himself. The whole Never Gonna Dance Again era was about self-reflection and finding the "self". In fact I feel most of Taemin's art is about this.
Thanks for checking out more TAEMIN and glad you enjoyed it and have come down the path of enlightenment like this (better late than never) :) RESPONSES TO YOUR QUESTIONS/POINTS: - - - - - PERSONALITY/CHARM: Yep, a lot of people hypnotically fall for Taemin's insane duality from being this generational one of a kind Artist on stage with the most haunting and powerful presence by just standing there alone but when he's off stage he's just this smol "odorobol" goofball. Since you're familiar with BTS, Taemin is actually in fact the original "golden maknae" who not only can do just about everything amazingly (except like cooking and stuff LOL) but to this day is still completely babied and adored by the entire industry which is why his enlistment was so much more surreal than most other idols with whole analytical articles being written about how weird it is to see him go because he's spent over half his life as an idol under the spotlight since he was only 14 and is now still even younger than half if not more of like 3rd gen and beyond. All the SHINee members at debut even used to walk Taemin to school themselves to protect him from being bullied and now at the start of their 30s they're still cooking for him and everything. SM Entertainment's founder Lee Soo Man cherishes Taemin personally but also pretty much treats him as like the favorite child of the entire label. LSM put Taemin in and at the forefront of every big company project from SM The Performance to YOUNIQUE UNIT to the representative legacy supergroup SuperM as the center member and more. LSM also personally chose Taemin to be the very first official solo act (from any of their main active groups) and his debut mini album was named "ACE" because he's known as "SM's ACE of Aces". At this big conference with thousands of business people from around the world where they first announced the launch of SuperM in late 2019, even when listing out each of the members' names, Taemin was the only one LSM naturally put an "-ie" at the end of in calling him "Taeminnie" and at their debut premiere event there's also a picture of LSM randomly holding Taemin's hand while posing amongst everyone else. He also gifted each of the SuperM members a personalized cross ring and when letting them choose which they want, Taemin as mischievous as he is said he wanted the one LSM was wearing himself and was instantly given it. Speaking of "Taeminnie", the majority of the whole industry still naturally call him that too cuz he's still a lovely child in their eyes that they just want to protect. From idol peers to staff to professionals, even ones who've never even worked with him before LOL People also love how humble and truly artistic he is as he's really just a man of his craft. A perfectionist and workaholic who dedicates his everything into performance and art. By far the single hardest working idol. When SM offered him a longer vacation, he just took 1 week off to go on a trip abroad with his Padding Squad friends who he's the also the core member of but then immediately after getting back he requested like 10~20 encore concerts for his solo Japan tour which were all completely sold out. He always speaks of celebrity Taemin separately from regular person Taemin and he refers to each of his albums/concepts/comebacks as "characters" and he's always talking about wanting to find and show new sides/colors to fans in developing more characters. For the longest time one major reason why people found him so attractive was because he was just simply mysterious and kept so much to himself to focus on work in contrast to the rest of the SHINee members who are known to be the biggest social butterflies, but after his time with SuperM and learning from the experience of COVID restrictions over the past year Taemin has really opened up a lot more in being less afraid to step out of his comfort zone to communicate and connect with fans even if he looks dumb sometimes from being so overly dorky. He goes crazy with (y/n) fanservice and no longer cares too much about spoiling content early and whatnot. After a career of 13 years, Taemin is an artist who never gets old but just keeps on giving and crazily improving and showing us so many new things - - - - - CRIMINAL SONG & MV MEANING >The main concept of the song is Stockholm Syndrome, when the captive can't help but feel naturally attracted and binded to their captor/kidnapper/abuser instead of completely hating them and wanting nothing but to escape. >The statue in the middle of the music video is just illustrating Taemin as art himself and in his iconic Jesus/T pose which is one of his many signature moves he does in almost every performance that fans started meme'ing on but he caught on and embraced it even further over the past year throughout Never Gonna Dance Again era through Advice. Crazy how K-Pop's main thing that every idol has in common and that serves as the genre's biggest catch factor is DANCE yet not only is Taemin widely upheld as the all-time best of all but he also somehow OWNS a ton of signature moves that anyone can recognize just by the silhouette from the T-pose to his royal bow to the literal SPIN and much more. >Many also consider Criminal to be Taemin's all-time best song/performance not only because of the artistic concept of it all but just the difficulty.

Many MVs even have 2-3+ "clones" of himself in it too which they carried on into the SuperM individual member trailers as a concept in the lore as well
Love this! He is the industry’s eternal little brother. Insane how still holds that image even after all the sins he has done on stage. Only Taemin. XD
Sandi...I hate to tell you this, but you have only scratched the surface what this man has accomplished and his live performances will leave you questioning your life..so get ready to surrender your soul, cos once he has it there's no turning back lol.
Lmao when you mentioned that you have checked out some of his ‘cute’ videos, well, you are done for. It’s going to get worse after this. XD Fun fact: “destroy me more” can also be heard as “run from me” You are pretty spot on with your interpretation of the song. IDEA (Act2) follows up Criminal (Act1) and the themes of duality, opposites, identity are present there too. Looking forward to follow your Taemin journey, esp when it’s time to check out his albums. His discography is flawless. And his live stages too! Expect nothing less from a SHINee member.
I seen taemin and hit that subscribe button so fast! Omg girlfriend you are in for a true blessed journey. Please continue on with taemin you will fall hard for him I pinky promise. I hit your bell so ring me up some more taemin please.
Oh my god 'Taemin' . Sandy your choice is 👍 FunFact- Taekai are best BFF duo in k-pop.( Taemin and Kai are besties ) and both have very unique yet identical dance style.
If you want more ‘destroy me more’, the SuperM members were doing it on one of their lives… Of course Baekhyun started it. I went to their concert pre-pandemic and when I tell you I was screaming for Taemin, Baek, and Kai’s solos… And how happy I was seeing some SHINee and EXO light sticks in the sea of NCT, I was like my babies having some representation!
He is talking about two sides of himself, sort of like Stockholm syndrome. At least that is what he said in one of his videos, can’t remember which one now... Lol, I use to watch the Criminal MV before bed and watch the RING DING DONG MV of SHINee’s when I got up in the mornings... --------- I KNEW THAT WOULD BE YOUR REACTION WHEN IT GOT TO ‘Destroy me more!’ PART!!! I knew it!!! Cause I reacted almost the same way, lol.
SHINee is back with a new mini-album tomorrow. Their new MV "Superstar" is out already 🔥 Pls react to them. He prepared for this before he went Military. He did work hard as SHINee, soloist, SuperM🥺 pls react to more SHINee and Taemin. SuperM too

Advice and Criminal are just the tip of Taemin's discography iceberg. You're in for a lifetime treat.
"Once you Taem-in. You cannot Taem- out."
Taem-in
Jim-in
Jong-in
😧😧😧😮 THAT EXPLAINS IT!
You are officially a Taemint 💖 Danger, Move, Want, and Idea!
Yes, he is so precious. Welcome to the T-pop world!
Taemin is my ultimate bias since 2016,, I'm glad you like him❤❤
Its so great seeing wonder in a person's eyes. Its real awesome.
Yes. More Taemin after this please. And I do believe this song is about Stockholm Syndrome.
Regarding the lyrics, yeah he's said there is no other person involved but he's talking about himself. The whole Never Gonna Dance Again era was about self-reflection and finding the "self". In fact I feel most of Taemin's art is about this.

CRIMINAL SONG & MV MEANING
>The main concept of the song is Stockholm Syndrome, when the captive can't help but feel naturally attracted and binded to their captor/kidnapper/abuser instead of completely hating them and wanting nothing but to escape.
>The statue in the middle of the music video is just illustrating Taemin as art himself and in his iconic Jesus/T pose which is one of his many signature moves he does in almost every performance that fans started meme'ing on but he caught on and embraced it even further over the past year throughout Never Gonna Dance Again era through Advice.

Love this! He is the industry’s eternal little brother. Insane how still holds that image even after all the sins he has done on stage. Only Taemin. XD
Welcome to Taemin ♥️ Now you can’t stop😊

Sandi...I hate to tell you this, but you have only scratched the surface what this man has accomplished and his live performances will leave you questioning your life..so get ready to surrender your soul, cos once he has it there's no turning back lol.
Can you react to Taemin's advice comeback stage and the mv of "want".

Lmao when you mentioned that you have checked out some of his ‘cute’ videos, well, you are done for. It’s going to get worse after this. XD
Fun fact: “destroy me more” can also be heard as “run from me”
You are pretty spot on with your interpretation of the song. IDEA (Act2) follows up Criminal (Act1) and the themes of duality, opposites, identity are present there too. Looking forward to follow your Taemin journey, esp when it’s time to check out his albums. His discography is flawless. And his live stages too! Expect nothing less from a SHINee member.

Oh my god 'Taemin' . Sandy your choice is 👍
FunFact- Taekai are best BFF duo in k-pop.( Taemin and Kai are besties ) and both have very unique yet identical dance style.
I believe Taemin said the song was inspired by Stockholm Syndrome. So the criminal is his object of desire and him.
If you want more ‘destroy me more’, the SuperM members were doing it on one of their lives… Of course Baekhyun started it. I went to their concert pre-pandemic and when I tell you I was screaming for Taemin, Baek, and Kai’s solos… And how happy I was seeing some SHINee and EXO light sticks in the sea of NCT, I was like my babies having some representation!
He is talking about two sides of himself, sort of like Stockholm syndrome. At least that is what he said in one of his videos, can’t remember which one now...
Lol, I use to watch the Criminal MV before bed and watch the RING DING DONG MV of SHINee’s when I got up in the mornings...
---------
I KNEW THAT WOULD BE YOUR REACTION WHEN IT GOT TO ‘Destroy me more!’ PART!!! I knew it!!!
Cause I reacted almost the same way, lol.
Lol one song but 25 min long reaction? I haven’t watched but I feel like I know what’s gonna happen 🤣🤣
Edit: yep he wrecked you hard
