"Sexy in the Air" and "Horizon" are Taemin's double lead tracks on his 5th mini Korean solo album named Eternal, and first release under his new company Big Planet Made (as a soloist). For "Sexy in the Air" what you are hearing is considered Boom Bap music style. And yes, the song is called "Sexy (sex) is in the Air," so what you are hearing is exactly what you think it is. The title and lyrics say "sexy" because it needs to be censored in order to be shown on network TV in Korea and for music shows, etc. I also think he could be saying "Sexy's in the air." (Taemin is 31 years old, so he's not a little kid anymore. :D) If you want to see how this MV was filmed, check out Taemin's behind the scenes footage of him on set of the MV. Taemin is the main dancer and a main vocalist of SHINee. However, because he's a member of SHINee, this means he can do it all. SHINee are known for the fact that there are no longer any fixed roles in their group, the main vocalists can rap and the rappers can fill in as main vocalists at any moment. Although, what they are really recognized for is as one of the best vocal groups to ever exist. All of the SHINee members are top tier singers and dancers. You may find this hard to believe, but when Taemin debuted as a member of SHINee way back in 2008, he didn't have a whole lot of lines in their songs. People even used to make fun of Taemin's singing and they would say that he was tone deaf and couldn't sing. However, it's sort of a misconception that Taemin "couldn't sing." it wasn't that he couldn't sing, it was just that he debuted when he was so young -- he was only 14 years old -- that his voice hadn't really developed yet and he didn't really have a good grasp of how to use his voice and produce the sounds he wanted with it. So, in the beginning, when he sang, he was often flat or his voice cracked or he was off key or out of tune, etc. And because he was being compared to the other members of SHINee who are all 2 to 4 years older than him, and the other members had such phenomenal voices to start out with, it really made Taemin sound like he was lacking. (SHINee are considered THE premier vocal group that everyone dreams of being as good as.) That's why in SHINee's first few songs Taemin only has a few lines, and most of the time he was just given big solo dance breaks to fill the stage at his parts in the song. However, if he was really tone deaf, he never would have become an SM Idol trainee -- SM would have put him on the dance track and probably steered him toward becoming a backup dancer -- and he definitely would have never become the amazing singer that he is today. As you probably know, someone who is truly tone deaf is physically unable to hear the difference in the notes and is unable to carry a tune. Taemin is considered one of the greatest dancers of all time. He has literally been voted one of the top two BEST dancers in all of Kpop by his peers and industry experts. (Kai from EXO -- who happens to be Taemin's best friend since trainee days, and a fellow member of the SM supergroup, SuperM -- is the other top dancer.) That is why Taemin has been nicknamed the Korean Michael Jackson. Literally everyone in the Kpop industry looks up to Taemin and idolizes him. But Taemin really wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn't just a dancer, so he spent a lot of extra time concentrating on vocal lessons and the other SHINee members -- especially Onew and Jonghyun (two of the best vocalists in the industry) -- spent some serious time coaching and mentoring him until he learned what it took to match their vocal range and to use his voice. (For the first year or more after SHINee's debut Taemin spent hours in vocal lessons and he would push himself every day until his nose would bleed because he was so tired and worn out, etc. He practically lived in the training rooms at SM Entertainment.) The ONLY thing the members of SHINee are not good at is lip syncing, so Taemin, and all the members of SHINee, have specifically trained since their debut, to build stamina and endurance, in order to be able to sing live for 3+ hours straight in concert, all while performing these intense choreographies and still sound flawless. When you watch a live performance, you may be shocked because Taemin and SHINee sound so perfect live even though they are dancing so intensely, but that is why they are so highly respected by everyone. It's a running joke between fans and the members that you can tell when SHINee are lip syncing because they are so bad at it, that is why they avoid it at all costs. Therefore, when you hear SHINee sing, 95% of the time it will be live. Yes, over the years they have become better at lip syncing than they used to be, but now they have gained the reputation as the group that always sings live, so unless they are required to lip sync for a specific reason, what you will hear is live vocals. Other Idols and audio sound technicians, etc. who have witnessed the SHINee members performing live are always blown away, because in the parts of the song where most singers would take a break and rely on the backing track vocals to cover their voices so they can catch their breath and recover, this is where the SHINee members actually ramp it up and become their most powerful. Therefore, in Taemin's live performance you will discover that he sounds even better than in the recorded version, all while dancing full out. What makes SHINee so great is that even if they are singing acapella while performing this high energy choreography, they sound just as amazing. That's why, even as rookies, senior artists would stop what they were doing to watch SHINee's rehearsals on music programs because SHINee's vocal talent is that impressive. When SHINee debuted, they were the first group to demonstrate how it was possible to sing live while performing complex choreography and still maintain stable vocals. (Which was even more impressive because they were also one of the youngest idol groups to debut at the time, with the members all between the age of 18-14 years old.) Before SHINee, the thought within the industry was that it wasn't possible to sing live and also perform high intensity choreography at the same time. At that time, most groups would either sing live and have simple choreography, or they would have crazy cool choreography, but lip sync to their recorded vocals. SHINee completely changed the Kpop industry and upped the standard of what it meant to be an idol singer. Taemin -- and SHINee -- live is unmatched. It's literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard that all other groups strive to reach, and SHINee are the vocalists that all other artists try to emulate. Taemin has released at least one song or album -- most of the time way more than just one -- as part of SHINee, as a member of a project group, as a solo artist or as a member of SuperM every year since SHINee's debut. (Except for 2022 because he was on hiatus while he carried out his public service duties as part of his military requirements.) Therefore, including his full-length albums, mini albums, and singles, etc., as well as his Japanese albums, Taemin has more than a dozen solo albums. Not to mention the 2 albums he has as a member of SuperM. And on top of all that, SHINee currently has 14 full-length Korean and Japanese albums, just as many repackaged albums, numerous mini albums, etc. Plus, he has held many solo concert tours -- he is currently on his first solo world tour. Before this his tours were Asian/Japanese tours -- as well as a world tour as a member of SuperM, and SHINee has held more than 100 concerts within 6 world tours so far. You have a TON to catch up on. :D Now, if you haven't already, you need to check out Taemin's Killing Voice performance. I have a feeling when you watch his Killing Voice you will find that hearing him sing his songs live, that you will be even more impressed. There is a reason why Taemin is like none other.
As for the ballads in the killing voice, these are bsides. There are ballads in all of Taemin's albums. And of course, they are very different from the title songs of the albums.
At the end of the MV there's a teaser for the other title track on the album called Horizon. Fun fact, the dancers in that MV are actually Beyoncé and Madonna's dancers, including Beyoncé's dance captain and her choreographer.
Those aren't ballads. Taemin has many ballads but the ones you mentioned (except for Soldier, that one IS a ballad), are slower tempo songs but not ballads. Still great songs though...
There are so many of Taemin MV you should watch! He is a true artist! King of kpop I look forward to see more Taemin reaction from you ❤ Idea, want, just you and me, move, press your number, drip drop, horizon, 2kids Also recommend his dance practice videos too he is the best dancer in kpop😊
I stumbled onto Taemin when "Advice" dropped and have been a fan ever since. He is also part of the K-pop supergroup, SuperM. Please check out their "Jopping", "100", and "One (Monster + Infinity)". You will not be disappointed! *Kai and Ten, as referenced in the comment before mine, are also in SuperM.
Love the reactions of the Taemin Spree - Would love it if you check out the dance practices as well - they are also so well executed... Those Dance practices just want to make you appreciate how amazing of a dancer he is and the coordination and his hard work is on point every single time - Love to see your future reactions on him and Kai dance practices as well love him as well
I'd love to watch you go back and watch his earlier work! It wasn't really ballads early on, pretty much every album has some ballads. But he's definitly evolved as an artist and taken a lot more control of his career. His early songs are also great, just somehow less *him*: Danger (debut), Ace, Drip Drop, Press your number.
His Kgma live was amazing but the camera work was the worst I recommend you to watch fancam instead 😮 so many fancams in TH-cam and they are so much better
Taemin is the best dance in kpop
You need to watch Taemin's dance practice and live performance. ❤

My favorite Taemin ballads: "ACE", "Soldier", "Identity" and "Deja Vu"
Those aren't ballads. Taemin has many ballads but the ones you mentioned (except for Soldier, that one IS a ballad), are slower tempo songs but not ballads. Still great songs though...
