still questioning jongtae internet war | striving for a career in academia | goth music enjoyer
🇱🇹
just realized shinee have never done a proper sexy dark concept song as a group title track before. im so perplexed? why???? no group in kpop history has been as well endowed with cunt and yet they refuse to serve it in front of the general public?
you know what's weird: with the move choreography going viral it had a very strong direct impact on taemin's career, but everyone and their mother did the guilty choreo yet it somehow really got dissociated from the original artist (compare mv views for example), what happened??
Bataille’s book literally has “death and sensuality” in the title itself. These concepts might not be meant as a contrast. Personally i think the POINT is to cause confusion, in how we might find disturbing things appealing, or appealing things to be disturbing.
Everytime Taemin describes Guilty he calls it spicy, hot, gunna make us shy, doing sexy choreo and teases it’s him becoming a man but… the teasers are so opposite. They’re boyish. unsettling. creepy. culty. dark. How is this going to be sexy? I’m so befuddled
GUILTY BY TAEMIN
I've seen posts asking why the first inhaler scene is weirdly hot. You feel like you're not SUPPOSED to find it attractive, bc it symbolises suffering. But it's set up in a way to be intentionally suggestive. Dare i say, it's set up to make you 'guilty' for liking it *drops mic*
Damn i really have never grasped the whole jealousy thing with idols cause my constant thoughts when seeing taemin on stage are “wow i really hope he is getting properly laid, bro deserves it after getting a phd in being sexy”
Ok since we’re all YET AGAIN discussing favorite internet wars, shall i bring up the under appreciated 121123 in singapore. this is gonna be a mini THREAD
The inhaler concept is ideal for this. After the teasers with various-objects-suggestively-in-mouth, it’s another object like that, filmed equally as suggestively in the first frame, but this time it’s meant to associate with panic and horror too.

I swear i'll post bomb af tweets pls follow
just watched the metamorph behind vid and am filled with unbridled rage regarding the lack of a taemin world tour because how the actual fuck can a company have the performer of the century under their roof and just kinda keep him marinating there. this is not a mf joke anymore
taemints we need to do a little meeting and discuss our course of action: how do we defend our dignity and also not be traitors regarding rizzness? cause i respect myself too much to be defending that lyric once nonshawols hear it, so like how do we proceed
I do not want to speculate on this TOO much but that trailer is really giving not-so-great-military-experience. And it’s not even subtle. There are SO many different possible meanings, but this is definitely ONE of them and i refuse to believe it wasn’t intentional.
so I saw some people criticising fans’ responses to the teasers bc they’re ‘sexualising’ taem. and I just wanna say that — feel free to disagree — I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing so? the concept is clearly meant to be provocative & tm himself called it spicy
@shiningbananas
i debated this one too but his type of loser is NOT the same as the jongtae type of loser, he hasn’t overconfidently tried to do smth and failed in front of a camera enough times for that, you know?
Time for a hot take < 3 When talking about taemins over-sexualisation some of ya’ll are talking as if he was a stupid toddler at debut. The problem was that they were making him an object of desire AND forcing him to act more childlike than his actual age AT THE SAME TIME (1)
bro READS and STUDIES how to be sexier for every comeback, i cannot believe there are people who actually want him to be mf celibate or whatever 😭 i sure as hell hope he aint cause bro-
taemin doesn't just dance, he stands there and the dance happens to his body. the choreography just exists in a higher dimension and manifests itself via his physical being
THERE'S NO WAY HE ACTUALLY HAS 'RIZZNESS' IN THE LYRICS I AM GOING TO CRY I FEEL LIKE I WONT BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE CHORUS WITHOUT CACKLING FJHASBKFJHBAEKFHBEAG
tweet inspired by this pic cause if aside from the metaphorical meaning of the move he is also just simply into choking, i sure hope whoever he is/was with has good technique in it and is hot as hell cause bro works his ass off to look this good with a hand on his neck/jaw
one of my fav things about taemin is how most of the time he keeps all his tricks and flips only for the LEAST important occasions, you’ll never catch this man breakdancing for a title track
i hate nonshawols perceiving taemin on tiktok cause ok great his tits are going viral again but then you open the comments and it’s full of npc shit like “he really got the rizzness” i am so tired
I think he’s very silly for rehearsing internet war in this shirt after ppl were tryna kick him out of shinee for corrupting taemin or smth, like you’re so funny for this i respect that
@bvmkii
origin of this thought btw: there's no way born to shine wasn't supposed to be a group song. "WE were born to SHINE" like there's no way. alas i'm NOT complaining that key did the full song by himself, but also bro IMAGINE
So like when seeing Yunhanam, if you go “omg he was a kid made to flirt with adults”, like no. He was a teen, who could be fine flirting with another teen. But instead they make him act like a child and then flirt with an adult. It’s a double issue, with nuance. (2)
And in Taemin’s case it’s very likely that being made to act all cute for the noonas is very much part of the issue he rebelled against later. But I don’t know, and you don’t know, and if he gives hints about it, they should be taken as hints, not historical fact. (End)
To clarify, it’s fully possible that he WAS a bit childlike at that age naturally too. Still, SHINee’s early concept had emphasis youthful innocence on purpose, you can’t exactly tell how much of it was natural or not, so it’s best to avoid assumptions in either direction!
i have a theory that there are many criminal haters out there but they’re all too embarrassed to admit such a lack of taste so they’ve kept their mouths shut for now
My grandma loved the guilty mv, i am now fullfiled in life (i showed all the teasers and stuff too chronologically) (and then metamorph behind video part 3) this was a ride
bold of you to assume that just bc he hasnt seen hannibal he isnt aware of and/or thought of homoerotic cannibalism at any point in life (i can place my bets bestie has a whole section of his brain dedicated to it and just hasnt found that theres a whole show about it yet)
question is can we the people handle it if he does in fact watch it one day and can he be trusted with the knowledge of homoerotic cannibalism in this essay I will
@ohailuo
*cracks knuckles* let me give a qualified answer (please regard my username as credentials): he survived, but sustained heavy damage (we now see the symptoms of his chronic horny disease almost daily). Thankfully his scalp remained in tact.
Clarification: i forgot to consider Japanese discography, in which case get the treasure and your number mildly qualify as that kinda thing. Still, i meant more like evil/odd eye/nightmare/ or even dynamite type of vibe
i find it silly that he forgets to raise the mic and then remembers and proceeds to his next line which says "masochist pervert" and that's on why i enjoy having some mid korean language skills while watching this
When trying to fight for him on a topic he has never directly spoken on, maybe don’t say things that are degrading in the opposite direction. You don’t know him, especially in early years they had to fake their personalities insanely (3)
In celebration of me actually now having some moots here's a disclaimer: i still barely get how twitter works so if anything pls excuse me i'm trying my best to get used to this 🥺
Now for the real important questions
Which version of Internet War by Jonghyun & Taemin was better?
(Fights in the comments are allowed and encouraged)
Sincerely,
Twitter user PhD Internet War
ask him to explain how tf internet war happened, then listen to and help him sort out any album or concert ideas and see if i can help with any of the production, then ask to do or share existing different personality test results and chat about those
딴건 그렇다쳐도 천식하고 빈티지 게이포른에서 볼법한 엄격한 규율에 갇힌 남성들에 대한 대상화는 대체 누구 아이디어냐 그 시절 민희진도, 신보로 트윙크의 왕좌에 오른 트로이 시반도 울고 갈 말초신경 자극의 향연이네 적어도 국내에서 만큼은 남성대상화 역사의 한 페이지를 장식하게 될듯
I just got back from an exhausting weekend and decided to catch up on what taemin has been doing. Needless to say this screenshot of my girlfriend’s message will be my only commentary for today. Goodnight folks!
Do some people know there can be more than one androgynous person in kpop? Gender expression isn’t a contest with a winner? Or do y’all only allow these people to exist if they’re the 1 unique exception that entertains the masses and is not threatening.
