Super Junior's Sexy, Free, & Single---The Most Insane K-pop MV Ever?

Super Junior's Comeback: 'Show Time' MV Lights Up the Internet!

[casablancarossa]

Taemin leaving SM; a retrospective rant from a severely uneducated and overly caffeinated fan.

I have thoughts about Taemin leaving SM and by extention Onew too. Might as well drag Minho and Key into this.

Since this is majorly about Taemin, let's talk about him first.

Taemin & SM (pre-NGDA era)

Taemin has been with the company for 16 years, closer to 19 if you count his trainee days. As an older shawol (LLO-era, got me whipped BAD), it was seriously out of the blue that Taemin would be the first to debut solo. SM at the time (i.e in their prime) was a vocal powerhouse and I genuinely thought Jonghyun would be the first one to go solo. SM made the right decision dedicating time and resources in letting him shine and 'Ace' was a phenomenal debut album for Taemin and really stamped that 'Taemin vibe/sound' we all know and love' Generally speaking SM not the best for promotions/scheduling, but the company still had their shit together when 'Move' came out, it felt like it was everywhere and surpassed the noteriety Guilty had achieved. I feel like when Taemin does variety shows, up to now, Move was always the most referenced and remembered act, even amongst the junior idols, that he did and thats because SM did go hard on promoting that song and picked a quiet month to do that comback in.

Taemin vs SM (during/post-NGDA era)

Somewhere along the lines, SM really dropped the ball with promoting Act 1 especially during Taemin's 'Criminal' comeback. They heavily prioritized their newer groups and suddenly their legendary acts were getting shafted with poor promotions and what felt like less dedicated management and resources. I recall, SM postponed the release for Criminal, squashed Taemin in Super-M activties and focused on their new acts while simultaneously over working them (honestly Mark has had such a hectic few years). My internal speculation/assumtion is that, SM figured that acts like SuJu, EXO, SHINee, GG and RV and solo/ duo units, wouldn't need as much dedicated promotions because they are iconic acts and they are fully dependant on fanbases to generate the buzz. Which leads me to my main hypothesis that after a few years of being active, SM really does not care about an artist anymore. Mind you artists that put them on the fucking map to begin with. SM won't double down on these artists because they believe they can't appeal to a younger audience. With the shitshow that was the Criminal promotions. SM really didn't do any better with 'Advice'. Pinning aespa's comeback a day before was a low blow instead of focusing on the talent that's about to go into the military, if they are aware enough to give Taemin a mini comeback so his relevancy sticks throughout his service, why damage it with an aespa release (that felt like it was to tactically avoid facing off the BTS release later than month) and basically doing NOTHING bar announcing pre-orders. Then we enter the 'Guilty' era. Which as we saw was a hit, but mainly because SM capitalized on the power of social media trends, placing Taemin in VARIOUS online contents and slowly dropped related media during winter. I mean we are still not over his 'Guilty' era, the Metamorph concert still has us at a chokehold. I 'd like to think that Taemin became more vocal in what he wanted and expected out of SM when he came back. Obviously the priority to them is/was SHINee and that's fair. DCM did really well with promos (althoughlike most shawols would say, LSM did have a major part to play with that). HOWEVER it was their 15th anniversary comeback last year and I feel like SM treated it like it was just another comeback instead of a major milestone. There were no interviews or press releases for Hard, when events were happening, it felt like it was gate kept to just local fans, like it made me feel like I was living under a rock because it was so last minute and I was not aware of anything. I want to believe that just because SM did an okay job now, excuses them for the last 3 years. What's worse is it's undeniable, Taemin lives to perform and it's no secret he sets some high goals and standard for himself and probably the toll 1) not getting to preform Guilty in GDA, despite wanting to and 2) probably not getting a solid backing for touring globally, despite very vocal fan support. I am not sure if anyone saw that SM forecast for the first two quarters of 2024, but it genuinely feels like Taemin knows that him and SHINee will not be a priority after promotions are finished. I hope I am not dense enough to assume that obviously SHINee has spoken about this privately and internally for a while now. It's really something you can't avoid talking about. Taemin has spoken to his hyungs, people in his circle inside and outside of the industry. Hopefully he is well informed and supported and it seems definite that SHINee is still active as a group.

Key vs SM.

Someone has already mentioned it but if anyone was leaving SM for creative freedom, I genuinely thought it would be Key. 'Bad Love' was an amazing release and Key fought with SM to release with his own brand/aesthetic. Because Taemin's imminent departure is so publicized, SM might be keeping the talks with Minho and Key super under wraps and trying to offer a btter deal. Although recently, bar Good and Great, SM has been using Key as a 'Variety' idol than an actual singer, which sucks because Key is super talented and if SM doesn't recognize that star power now, good luck to them. Also apparently, Kany is signed with BPM? I know she is close with SHInee in general, but I would assume it'd be Key joining her ya'know?

Minho vs SM.

Imma put it out there, the promotions for 'Stay for a Night' was lackluster? I feel like they treat solo Minho and SHINee Minho as two separate entities. Like yes there is a dualism of being a group preformer vs solo preformer. But on the rare occasion SHINee does get promoted Minho seems to get more attention, but as a solo artist, I don't feel the same love for his solo promotions. I hope Minho gets to write and contribute more, which I believe he does in the background. If he does stick to SM, I pray they open other avenues of artistry, primarily, he does really well with his acting roles and yes it really helps that he does fit the 'K-drama ML' look.

Onew vs SM

I feel like Onew gets the short-end of the stick out of the rest of SHINee, never mind that the man has the voice of an angel, but again, he is another one that SM never bothered to market right. It kind of make sense that he would want to leave the company and seek ones that would expand his career inside and outside of singing and while the one good thing SM did recently is make sure Onew was healing and taking care of himself, recent SHINee promo activities feels like they are treating Onew's break as a hush hush 'taboo topic' Honestly, bring back the era where our idols would randomly disappear during promotions because they were casted to be on-stage again. I am still forever clinging onto Onew singing opera, because despite him not being trained for that, he has the talent to do so. It'd be nice to hear him produce his own music, or give acting another shot.

[twig-tea]

Let's see how this goes. I was tagged by wonderful @waitmyturtles and @wen-kexing-apologist to put my repeat playlist on Spotify on shuffle and list the first 10 songs. Should I apologize now? 🤣

1. Voldemort: With Confidence (linking to yt for those who don't have Spotify)

Apologies for the HP reference. If it helps, the song isn't actually a fan song; it's pop punk about supporting folks with mental health issues (and I'm pretty sure predates That Author's visible transphobia).

2. Lubalin: Internet Drama Part 1 (Is This Available?)

I need y'all to know that my music taste is ridiculous, if it isn't already obvious. This is that tiktok guy who got famous making songs from Internet memes, they get stuck in your head and the only way out is through!

3. Mapa: SB19

Ahhh these guys are so good! If you don't know SB19 they are the biggest P-pop group and one of the few to break out of the Philippines.

4. Super Junior: No Other

My SuJu ELF heart! Listen these guys are old and so am I but look at themmm! This is my fave SuJu song of all time, I'm so glad it came up 😭

5. Etc.: เปลี่ยน [Plleyin/ Change]

The lyrics of this song are about realizing sometimes rather than changing to suit the person we're with, if they won't change with us and won't acknowledge our effort, we should change who we're with. I can't remember where I first heard it but it's great.

6. blackbear: hot girl bummer

I get far to much joy in singing along to "fuuuu~ck you, and you, and you and you and you" 🤣

7. Charly Black: Gyal You A Party Animal (Remix w/ Daddy Yankee)

Did I mention I love reggaeton and dancehall? This song is such a big tune.

8. The Note: Comeback

This band is a Thai-American pop-rock trio of three brothers who fulfilled the dream of their deceased elder brother, Note, by forming band and naming it after him. This song is all about having an unrequited crush on your friend and wishing they would make the first move.

9. Bodyslam: ท่านผู้ชม [Than Phu Chom/Viewers]

I got really into Thai rock as background music for when I have to focus at work, and Bodyslam is one of my faves. Toon's voice is iconic! This song is about not ever being able to do the right thing according to your audience (and the frustration around that feeling).

10. Speak Up: Jangan Pernah [Trust Me]

Speak Up are an Indonesian punk rock band and this song is suuuuuuch a jam. It's basically asking your lover to trust that you'll be by their side in the future (forget your last love and my previous behavior and focus on who I am now).

Alright turtles did a good job with the original tags, but tagging @troubled-mind @my-rose-tinted-glasses, @clara-maybe-ontheroad and @plantsarepeopletoo!

I swear I didn't saw anything 🙈🌚

[suuho]

saw a taemin akgae say tht his career is more established than jinki LIKE OBVIOUSLY jinki made solo debut in 2018 n didn't even promote it n then didn't release anything till 2022 n then he went on hiatus in 2023 so if we count his active years its barely even 4 years. didn't perform in any festivals till this year n hasn't performed solo in any events (except sm town). like taemin knows his style, has done multiple cbs throughout his long career, performed in different festivals n events so yeah he's more established. they definitely meant as an insult but like that is true but he's doing so well still.

this is also because taemin was the first soloist of any sm group, ever. he debuted before the first suju solo debut (kyuhyun in november 2014, i think), before any tvxq member (both in 2015), before any snsd member (taeyeon, also in 2015). this was revolutionary in the same way that super junior establishing sub-units was revolutionary. like, it was actually kind of unheard of for an idol member (from sm, anyway) to just pursue a solo career while still actively part of the group they originate from. it just wasn't the philosophy of sm entertainment, to debut a solo member like that.

(side note: there were solo debuts, ofc. it worked for g-dragon but he sort of existed in another realm entirely, as did most of the bigbang members, so they are kind of out of the running. only minjun and wooyoung from 2pm had debuted solo at that point, and junho hadn't even debuted in korea until 2015 to begin with.)

so, that already made huge waves. taemin's solo career has been revered and actually crazy culturally iconic from the beginning; he popularized the term ace (duh). and he makes dance-pop, which is very in line with shinee's image and creative direction and very true to his dna. now, compare that to jinki, who, as the leader of the group, already had a very different standing altogether. he didn't have the same freedom as taemin to pursue a career like that, and i honestly don't really think he ever wanted that. even when he released voice, he maintained that what he wants the most, is to bring healing and peace to the people listening to his music. he is first and foremost a vocalist, so that doesn't lend itself to the masses in the way taemin or kibum's music does, or jonghyun's (who was a once in a lifetime talent, and who could have successfully pursue any genre he wanted).

also, he is definitely not sm's golden boy, lol. not the way taemin was.

so, yeah. obviously taemin's career is more established? he started from a different position to begin with - he is insanely beloved by the gp, his nickname literally was the nation's maknae. the entire industry loves and appreciates him. he is way more marketable than jinki. for all those reasons, of course he is more established. jinki is well aware of his position in the industry; i think he wouldn't have taken his hiatus if he wasn't, and wouldn't have released the music he has if he wasn't.

but most of all, i think he is fine where he is. idk why taemin akgaes always have to put down the other members as some sort of gotcha moment. taemin suffered greatly due to how overworked he was and the pressure sm put him under to maintain his profile. that is nothing to brag about, actually.

[gaykey]

Asher….. do you know if Kibum used to go to the same church as suju Siw0n at one point?

hello anon, yes he did.

i think he mentioned it waaay way back like 10 years ago, but i can't find the source, but it's kind of og shawol common knowledge i'd say? it was in the very early years of shinee.

they seemed to be aquaintances at the time? though there were hardly any pics of them (besides the iconic saturday night vs sunday morning pic sjdhdjsjsjs which i can't find!!!) but pretty much nothing else since.
