a triple a-battery (they/them) who caved and finally made my SHINee/Kpop Twitter fan account because now my queer and poetry and academic Twitter is only SHINee
Less than 24 hours after the trailer for Taemin's new MV for Guilty has been dropped, here is a small archival essay on some of the many theories that fans have been sharing on Twitter and in @SHINeecord. Please find the PDF in the link below.

Nobody has any right to dictate how Taemin should grieve or whether he refers to his brother in present or past, especially people who never knew either of them personally.
And nitpicking the English of someone who isn't a native speaker to push your own narrative is ridiculous.
Taemin speaking about Jonghyun 💗🌙
q: if you could share the stage with any artist, who would you want to share a stage with?
"Jonghyun! he would have been such a great artist and I would have loved to share the stage with him. I respect him so much."
jonghyun who always always cheered on taemin with every piece of soul, who talked him through life, who was devoted to helping him grow, who delayed his own schedules to attend taemin’s… i love you my sweet jongtae 🥺
#TAEMIN chose his fellow SHINee member JONGHYUN as the artist he would love to share a stage with. He added that he respect JONGHYUN so much.
The information was shared in the newest interview done after his set at BST Hyde Park.
key inspires me profoundly. not only does he pour himself into every possible creative facet life has to offer, he genuinely seems to enjoy doing so. it makes me want to work as hard as him to do what i love and find the joy in what i can make of my life.
i think ppl that say that taemin’s music has fallen off since leaving sm haven’t listened to any of the songs off the eternal album except maybe sexy in the air bcuz horizon and deja vu are two of the best songs in his discography 😭
Midnight twitter scroll: I love SHINee I miss SHINee I wish I could have more SHINee merch wow I also love Dan and Phil and I can't wait to go see them and what do you mean my feed has been perfectly curated for me.
I feel like Kpop fans who aren't fans of Taemin or SHINee have no idea what he has achieved since leaving SM and say the most negative things about his career. Taemin Ephemeral Gaze world tour is the 9th most attended tour from a Kpop solo artist. His Japan Veil tour was successful too and was the 20th most attended tour from a Kpop solo artist. I think even though towards the end of his contract with BPM it wasn't admirable ( nothing he did it's all the company's fault),however, Taemin still kept his teams morale up and paid their salaries. He performed on Kelly Clarkson Show, Jennifer Hudson Show, and was the first male Kpop soloist to perform at Coachella, and was the first Kpop soloist to have an exhibit at the Grammy Museum and it was later extended due to his popularity. Taemin's Permission was #5 on Billboard's World Digital Sales Song Chart and Long Way Home his other single entered US Top 40 radio
I think the music Taemin has put out has been good and there is nothing wrong with him exploring new sounds and artistic expression. He is a 12 year solo artist and 18 year member of SHINee he doesn't have to keep doing the same thing. People forget that Taemin is the one that chose MOVE and Guilty, in fact Taemin fought for MOVE to be the title track, they forget that he has had great input on the direction of his music and performance, he has written his own music, and choreographed for himself and also for SHINee.
A lot of y'all are fans of the company and not the artist, If you can't accept that Taemin is exploring his musicality then leave, he doesn't have to keep releasing the same music. I feel like a lot of you guys connect good music to the label and can't process an artist standing on their own. There isn't really any good music coming out of SM anymore, so I don't know what y'all even going on about. Taemin released 6 new songs at Coachella and they were all good and Deja Vu and Bones is some of his best songs.
