SHINee 1st Listen and DEEP DIVE VOCAL ANALYSIS
Thanks Ashley, such a wonderful group! (And even-though this is technically a long form reaction, I'm making it available also at the $5 tier.)

You can find the information on most groups and little trivia on kpop profiles just search for the group and type kpop profiles after and you'll get info about the groups, pictures and little trivia. If you want to watch the vids with the pictures and lyrics you have to add color coded vid after the group and song name. Pls do not watch the Color coded vids by zaty Farhani bc they are often false and also rip off the labels and groups.
they are sooo good
Wow, a reaction to SHINee’s Replay!!! This song is still in my rotation. The vocal agility always keeps the song so fun to listen to
Thank you Ashley for recommending this to Tim! And thank you Tim for reacting to it! They really are a special group. I appreciated the education as always, too!
SHINee ?!!???? AHHH I LOVE THEM
GASP! SHINee!!! 🩵 I loved you’re breakdown of Replay (still in regular rotation for me). Key is coming to US this winter Can you please do their cover of “Dear Name” from IU’s Palette?
I will eventually ask him to react to this!
Hey Tim, thank you so much for this reaction! I really liked how you broke this song down. I would hear their riffing, but not to the same depth as you presented it. You really showed why I love this group, as their vocal abilities and sound are amazing. To answer some of your questions: SHINee fans are called Shawols (a combination of SHINee and World), similar to how BTS fans are known as Army. So yes, I would say I am a Shawol lol. That is where the name of their lightstick came from (facepalm)... I would assume there was no native English speaker there at that meeting to stop them. SM Entertainment is one of the big 4. You can say SM was the first major K-pop agency and was primarily responsible for creating the "idol" system of kpop. Every group has a color. SHINee is aqua pearl, and BTS is purple. You will notice some Armys will write Borahae in their comments. Bora is purple in Korean. Borahae means I Purple You and is a phrase BTS and Army will say to each other. Ttakbam means a finger flick. Koreans love games where the loser has to suffer some kind of pain and ttakbams are one of those punishments. Replay was SHINee's debut song in 2008. You describing it as young love is right, as the Korean title is "Noona is very pretty." Noona is what a male would call an older female sister/friend. Jonghyun is the one who starts the song, and he often begins many of SHINee's songs due to his unique vocals. The word he emphasized in the beginning was guy. Taemin is the middle, "joyful" dancer you pointed out. He was 14 when this song was released and was going through puberty, so he didn't get a single line to himself in the song. Fast forward to 2025, he was just announced to perform at Coachella next year as the first male K-pop soloist! I'm looking forward to seeing you watch these guys grow up.
K-Pop Generations: 1st Gen (1990s-2004, no reacts yet), 2nd Gen (2005-2011, SHINee), 3rd Gen (2012-2017, BTS & EXO), 4th Gen (2018-2022, Stray Kids & ATEEZ), 5th Gen (2023-now, CORTIS). *edited bc I forgot about CORTIS
I like how you added who he hasn't reacted to yet lol
