Getting an ultrasound this morning when the doc said she liked my set so I told her it was merch for a kpop group I like and she asked who so I said NCT and she goes “ohhh so like Haechan and all them” and I rose up off that ultrasound table like an eldritch creature
Ten saying, “Dude, I’m so fast,” gets me EVERY TIME. This bitch really outran these goats not in an effort to be helpful and catch them but to show that he could run faster than the goats.
Do you think Taemin made the SHINee members promise to look after his children from SuperM while he’s gone? Minho’s in charge of Lucas and Taeyong. Key’s in charge of Ten and Kai. Onew’s in charge of the maknae Mark Lee. Anyway, let me go cry.
“This is giving me a headache” Damn imagine the headache it’s probably giving Taeyong who just happened to have a sealed copy of a censored version of a manga on the floor in the corner of a photo on his insta story months ago and suddenly woke up to people telling him to d*e
Y’all are gonna hate me for this, I’m sorry, but once you really delve into SM groups’ discographies, especially NCT’s, all other music kind of starts to pale in comparison, like, I’m sorry if I read as a company stan, I’m not, the music’s literally just THAT good ALL THE TIME???
SuperM’s only relevance to SHINee’s comeback is the fact that Taeyong, Mark, Lucas, and Ten are probably so excited for it since they’re huge shawols. That is literally the only reason to be bringing up SuperM when talking about this comeback.
since fans, nonfans, and professionals all agree that “haechan’s parts are the killing parts,” what’s your favorite haechan killing part (from songs/mvs/stages etc.)?
I don’t give a damn if you buy the album or not but don’t pretend it’s some huge conspiracy that your faves weren’t included on the title track because several of those who WERE included rarely ever get the spotlight and have earned the chance to shine like anyone else
We simply cannot let this comeback pass us by without discussing Taemin’s skill as a vocalist. There is a sincerity and a passion and an agony behind his every note in Guilty. His range continues to grow, his tone even more distinguished. He navigates with such ease and grace.
I know the hosts made a little joke out of it but I really admire how attentive Taemin was with translating for Koharu on Hit the Stage because he didn't want her to feel left out :(((
At the risk of being sniped, here is Ten’s adorable reaction to the heroic 10vely that brought up Paint Me Naked’s upcoming release during the fanmeet 🥲
Ten’s vocals are always immaculate, but you can absolutely hear Baekhyun’s influence on him when you listen to Super One because he’s on an entirely different level in comparison to the stuff he’s recorded outside of SuperM.
If you’re having a conversation about the best dancers in k-pop but you’re not including Taeyong then I’m just going to assume you have no idea what you’re talking about
People have been making comments about how k-pop won’t be the same without Taemin for MONTHS now, but it’s suddenly a problem the day after he showed us exactly why those comments are true? Taemin brings something to the industry beyond his work with SHINee, has for 7 years now.
Shawols, please take some deep breaths. I know this is really hard. I know how much you care. But the last thing Taemin would want is for his own situation to negatively impact the mental health of his fans. We have to trust that he’s being looked after. He’ll be okay.
I knew from the first time we heard Advice that too many fans thought themselves exempt from what he was singing about, & that’s explicitly clear today. He’s not just sending a message to his haters, he’s sending a message to everyone that tries to control him. That includes us.
If you call yourself a shawol, you should know Taemin well enough to know he has almost never let us see him cry. He shows us so much vulnerability in all other aspects, but these types of emotions he clearly wants to keep to himself. And it’s not our business to ask why.
Thinking about that time Ten asked us what dance challenge he should do on Insta Live and malfunctioned on camera when we spammed his comments telling him to do the WAP
It’s the end of a horror film and you’re the final girl about to kill the bad guys with an axe but you have to pick a k-pop song as the bgm for your fight scene… Which song are you choosing?
“You can’t blame people for—“ Oh but I can! I actually can! And I will! I will blame those of you who once again decided to treat real victims (hey that’s me!) as a monolith and leverage us against people to aid in your outrage mongering
Baekhyun holding Jonghyun like he’s the most precious thing in the world? Jonghyun playfully insisting that Suho thank him in his acceptance speech??? It means everything to me
ncity takes arent even fun or interesting fr like does nobody have a spooky story or a conspiracy theory? we get it you don't like birthday party but what else do you have to contribute to the conversation
To refer to WWX as morally grey is actually insane when the entire downfall of his character was that he was steadfast in his desire to remain morally upright and just in the face of a world that wasn’t???
And all of this is not to even mention the fact that you clearly don’t have the intellectual capacity to discuss the nuances of consuming dark media or the slippery slope towards censorship or to admit how your think pieces were all pretty light on the “think” aspect
Taemin stays up all night after MAMA to rehearse for KBS gayo:
“Omg he’s so hardworking 😍”
Taemin stays up all night with SuperM for an unknown project:
“SuperM is holding him hostage and forcing him to overwork himself 😭”
This rant will probably cost me friends on here but idgaf because I am so tired of people thinking they can bully others into submission and make demands and throw out ultimatums and impose their own solipsistic world views without any critical thought to support it
Something I’ve always felt but never said because it’s close to my heart: you can really tell how much inspiration Taemin drew from Jonghyun while teaching himself how to sing because, every so often, he sounds like him. And it really, really means the world to me.
