I wonder if Minho is sad that he can't say "SHINee's back" at the beginning of this video. Since SHINee has been back since last month he only gets to say "SHINee". It feels kind of empty, but I am glad that they are back again.
I actually really liked this song. It makes me feel a little bad to say that though since Jonghyun isn't in it. That just leads me to think, how much more amazing will this song be when Jonghyun comes back to wail and ad-lib in the background like we all expect him to.
We miss you! |
There needs to be more of this type of sound in K-pop I think. JaeJoong did it in "Mine" and Super Junior did it once upon a time with "Don't Don" and I love it. Those two songs were definitely more rock than this pop rock sound, but it's nice to hear groups starting to branch out a bit.
How's the video?
This video is a typical SHINee dance video. There isn't really a plot though, so I've decided to create my own. Here we go:
SHINee has been trapped at the top of a tower for a number of years. Jonghyun was able to escape and said that he would come back for them, but never did. One day a girl finds the entrance to the tower.
SHINee doesn't know what to do when the girl opens the door. Onew is immediately smitten though as everyone else stands dumfounded.
What is that thing? |
Stupid uncloseable adds |
Taemin likes this idea |
Anyone home? |
They tasted so good I have to dance |
Yeah, that's totally what happened. As for the zombie part, read the lyrics and tell me they are not all zombies. Also, what is that pink drippy stuff on the title of the song? Think about it.....
Was the dance super amazing?
I wouldn't say super amazing just because I know SHINee is capable of more; this was cool, but they have had better ones. I would say that SHINee's best dances are "Sherlock" and "Lucifer". This dance doesn't look as daunting as those other ones, but it is still very fun.
There is a lot of jumping and hip moving here and you can see that they guys are enjoying themselves as they perform. They don't have super serious faces like when they do some other dances that are sexy and complex.
Which member owned it?
This was definitely Taemin's video. I feel like he was singing his parts and Jonghyun's parts because he was everywhere. Not that I'm complaining, he was just in it a lot. Things like this do make me wonder what will happen when Jonghyun comes back though. Who is singing whose lines and where is everyone going to stand when there is one more body on the stage?
Good job Taemin! |
The styling is really crisp in this video. There are no flowers or pastel pants and Taemin isn't dressed in women's clothing. There were four costume changes:
Key Minho Onew Taemin |
I also really like the leather jackets they wear in their individual shots. I think my favorite one is Key. He's such a little diva.
Does the English make your ears bleed?
There is not a lot of English in the song aside from the 'why so serious' which I love. It all sounds good too. Good job SHINee.
Should you buy the song?
I haven't bought it yet, but I am definitely considering it. Like I said, you can tell Jonghyun is missing, but it is just such an awesome sounding song!

Alora- You are amazingly hilarious! I love hearing your take on it. I haven't taken time to listen to it yet, but I'm excited to watch it with your plot description in mind. Also, you might wanna go back and look at the first pic on this post. I think it is both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious. To put it delicately, at first glance it looked like an homage to Koreans' renowned bathroom humor.
