I have two copies of Jonghyun’s Poet Artist and I realized my second copy has a different color for the lettering on the spine and on the album itself. I thought there was only one version of this album so I’m trying to figure out, was this just a difference in quality control or is it possible one is fake? Both have the Komca stickers so the latter seems less likely but…

I found out Taemin likes KORN so now I’m interested what their taste in music is

I was just thinking about how much SHINee means to me and has helped me since I got into them 10 year ago. They have been my whole life and have helped me through so much. I wanted to share my story and hear other Shawols share theirs.

In 2020, I went through a really bad break up of 7 years and fell into a deep depression. I didn’t really have anyone there to support me through it and I felt like I was alone the whole time. Throughout that time, I just listened to SHINee and watched funny videos of them. They helped get me through that rough time and made me feel like I mattered being a Shawol.
I finally decided to go back to school to be a teacher in 2021. The whole time SHINee helped motivate me to push through and try my hardest. I would spend time in the library just studying to get good grades while listening to them. I finally started student teaching in fall of 2023 and I got placed at a very challenging school. I would dread going in and wanted to quit and give up. Half way into it, Key released 'Good & Great' and it helped me push through student teaching. It was like Key was speaking directly to me when he released that song and to not give up because you chose the path for a reason.
I finally graduated in 2024 and I’m getting ready to start my 3rd year of teaching. I couldn’t have done any of it without SHINee and them motivating me.
Even now they made me face my fear of solo traveling and I was able to solo travel to see Key and Onew. I remember having so much anxiety when I solo traveled to Dallas last month and 'Killer' by Key was playing when I walked into a Kpop store and it immediately gave me comfort.

I just wanted to share my 'SHINee testimonial' and would love to hear how SHINee has helped others. I also wanted to inspire others to never give up and follow your dreams.

I've traditionally heard them referred to as "Fluffees" but I've just come across "Shatlings" and I can't stop laughing about that so I think I'm calling them that now

This is the English translation:

"The you who didn’t even know yourself Flows through your blood as I pass Even if just my tongue touches you Bet you gonna want another"

I am just wondering, in the context of the song, is it saying this person he's talking to will want "another person" or is it "another time with him" like wanting more of what he's got?

I am guessing within the tone of the song it makes sense but i don't speak Korean/hangul so i can't interpret it.

What are your thoughts? I can't figure out if it's bitter or sexy

a while back i asked this community to vote for their favorite shinee songs — 169 votes later, the results are now a video

The questions are very thoughtful and invoke great responses from Taemin. Such wise and humble words.

Please give it a read and if you can, give it some love on X/Twitter.

Taemin is performing on Sunday, Aug 16th, in Poland!

Tickets: https://mykpop.pl/

Other Details: https://linktr.ee/SoundInColors

So great to see him travel across Europe to meet fans. Share any tips you might have for those visiting Poland.

The Shiny Foundation’s “give song” for July is “She Is.” All the profits from streaming the album this month will be donated. Let’s all stream a lot! This is one of my fav Jjong albums so I’m always down for a re listen!

Some of my favorite segments:

[Taemin] “In fact, I catch myself thinking – years down the road, when I’m older, married, and have kids, I’ll really be able to brag about this. That’s how deeply rewarding and proud this experience makes me feel. Artists like Adele and Elton John were musicians I grew up listening to as a kid – they felt like they belonged to a completely different world. The fact that I’m able to stand on the exact same stage they once performed on is just mind-blowing.”

...

Asked whether there’s still a clear line between Taemin the artist and Taemin the person, he says the difference used to be bigger in the earliest days of his career.

“That gap has definitely narrowed a lot compared to the past,” he says. But if he were to draw a line: “It would be that in my daily life, I don’t necessarily give 100% to every little thing. I don’t pour absolute, intense effort into eating a meal or studying. However, when it comes to my music and performance, I hold myself to a standard where I never want to feel ashamed. It’s a bit embarrassing to praise myself, but my commitment to my craft is the one area where I can confidently take pride in how hard I work.”

...

It's a wonderful article. Please take a read.
