Debut May 25, 2008 recently celebrated their 15 years

"View" came out in 2015, and it is one of the numerous songs that was wrote by Jonghyun, SHINee's main vocalist. SHINee were actually the ones to introduce deep house style music to the Kpop industry with "View." In recent years this song has helped to create a resurgence of the music genre's popularity. Just another example of SHINee influencing a trend, yet again.

"View" was even voted by the Korean public as one of the songs that needs to make a comeback in 2021, because it was so ahead of its time in 2015 that people didn't appreciate it for what it was. It has now become one of SHINee's most popular songs. Check out SHINee's appearance on the show MMTG ep. 181 and ep. 183, when SHINee came on the show to discuss the popularity of "View" and talk about their legacy in the Kpop industry, etc. (They even performed "View" in their Beyond Live virtual concert in 2021 as a special showcase for MMTG.)

What you just experienced is exactly what makes SHINee legends. And this is the reason why they are so highly respected, and why almost everyone in the industry who came after them cites them as one of their biggest influences and one of the reasons why they wanted to become a singer and dancer, etc.

SHINee are one of the most iconic and influential groups. They are always setting trends, never following them. SHINee where designed to be SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, so everything they do is meant to be the first and they are expected to create the trend. With every new song SHINee produces it's expected to be different than the last, so you will never hear the same style or sound from them in any of their songs, even on the same album, and yet, somehow it will always sound like SHINee.

SHINee has started the trend with almost everything — with every one of their songs to their dances to clothing trends, to live performances, to the way Kpop is promoted — there is almost nothing that can't be attributed to something SHINee has been involved in.

Fun fact: This MV was filmed in Thailand, so the actresses are all Thai. The funny thing is, the girls don't speak Korean.The SHINee members said they really didn't interact much with the girls when not filming because they couldn't communicate with them. And, if you want to see how much fun they had making the MV, you should check out the behind the scenes footage. Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4Qj-W3-KcI and Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awMLgONRV1c

If you look up the lyrics for "View," you will see that the song is about being mesmerized and sort of brainwashed by the beautiful view as seen within a dream.The MV seems to be about living in the dream of being like a normal group of young men hanging out with friends and having fun in the summer without anything to worry about. However, SHINee have been kidnapped by the girls, and although they end up having fun hanging out together, I think why we hear the police sirens at the end is because the police are coming to rescue SHINee. If you notice, even though they are having fun most of the time, whenever the girls get close to them, SHINee pushes them away, or looks away.
So SHINee are not necessarily 100% OK with everything that is happening.

You just discovered why SHINee still hold one of the top spots after more than 15 years in the industry. If you are impressed now, just wait until you go through their entire discography of songs and MVs. So far, they have 13 full-length albums (7 Korean albums and 6 Japanese albums), several repackaged albums, a multitude of mini albums, numerous OSTS, they each have solo songs and albums and there are hundreds of live performances that will absolutely leave you speechless with their talent. And it only gets more and more impressive as you follow them through their career. They have accomplished a lot in the past 15+ years and they are one of the groups that made Kpop what it is today. However, if you want to see where SHINee truly shines, you have to see their live performances.

When SHINee debuted in 2008, Onew (the leader and lead vocalist) was 18, Jonghyun (the main vocalist and songwriter) had just turned 18, Minho (the main rapper and sub-vocalist) and Key (lead vocalist and sub-rapper) were 16 and Taemin (Main dancer and lead vocalist) was 14. However, now SHINee are known for the fact that there are no longer any fixed roles in their group. The main vocalists can rap, the rappers can fill in as main vocalists and they're all impressive dancers. SHINee are some of the most well respected artists in the industry.

Onew (Pronounced Oh-New in English or On-New with a Korean accent, real name Lee JinKi) — the one with the white hat — is the leader of the group and he has one of the most unique and best voices in the industry. (Onew means, or sounds like, the Korean words for soft or gentle, so he was given his stage name because he has a very calm and gentle personality.) His vocals are unmatched. He even holds the record (40+ seconds) for the longest continuous note without changing tone or pitch, etc.

Jonghyun — the one with the Guns and Roses T-shirt — is one of THE BEST vocalists in Kpop. Jonghyun wrote and composed almost 40% of SHINee's songs, plus he wrote all of his own solo songs and numerous songs for other artists, such as EXO's "Playboy" and songs for Taemin, IU and Lee HI, etc. He was one of the only SM artists to be given complete artistic control over his work, including several of SHINee's song selections. SM knew that if Jonghyun was involved in any way that the song would be a hit. He was one of the very first Idols to be known for this songwriting and composing skills, and he was the first of SM's artists to have a fully self-wrote album. As the main vocalist, Jonghyun is the one you hear with all the amazing high notes and R&B runs and ad libs most of the time.

Key — the one with the girl power jersey and the headband — is our fashionista of the group who is SHINee's stylist for a lot of their MVs and stage outfits. He is an amazing singer and is a sub-rapper in the group. He is also considered SHINee's dance copy machine. Key has the ability to see and remember choreography the fastest in the group. He only needs to watch the dance once and he has it memorized. He is also SHINee's fluent English speaker, and he is almost as good as a native speaker.

The look and concept for this MV was all created by Key in collaboration with their stylists. He decided he wanted their looks to emulate skater-boy fashion and, in order to accomplish that, they actually went to the local markets and purchased the clothes for this MV and their comeback stage outfits right off the rack. Which had them setting their own trend yet again, and doing something that no one else was doing at the time.

Minho — the one with the white shirt with the red lettering — is the main rapper and visual of the group, but his vocals are also some of the best in the industry. Minho sings just as much as he raps. He also writes most of his own raps in SHINee's songs. Minho is a top actor and he has starred in numerous dramas and movies. He is also known as a top athlete. He says these days he goes to the gym a couple of times a day to work out just because he likes to work out, but he is also crazy about soccer, and he plays basketball, baseball and golf, and he is good at track and field events, etc., as well. And not only does he enjoy playing all those sports, but he is usually the best athlete on the field and he pretty much wins every time. Minho's nickname is "Flaming Charisma," and one reason is for his intense passion for sports and his need to always win.

And Taemin — the one with the gray tank top — is considered one of THE BEST dancers in the industry (one of the top 2 best dancers of all dancers in Kpop), and that's not just by fans but by everyone in the industry, including his peers. Taemin's nickname is the Korean Michael Jackson. He is also one of the most popular solo artists and he is a member of the Kpop supergroup SuperM. Taemin truly is art when it comes to his performances.

They are a group of 5 amazing vocalists, 5 impressive dancers, 5 visuals, 5 rappers, 5 top actors, and 5 of the most talented and unique voices in all of Kpop. Once you get to know their voices you will always be able to pick them out of a crowd just by the sound of their voice. Most fans (SHINee World or Shawol for short) will tell you we know who is speaking or singing within 1 second even with our eyes closed, with them standing in a crowd of screaming fans. Each of their voices are that unique — there is no one with a voice like any of theirs. That is why they are "The Princes of Kpop".

SHINee are known for their live vocals and amazing dancing. They are known as CD-quality singers because they sound just as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. SHINee always sings live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing so they avoid it at all costs, so when you hear SHINee singing 95% of the time it will be live. They have trained their entire career to be able to sing live and continue to sound flawless while performing extremely complex choreography for more than 3 hours straight in concert. That is why they are so highly respected among their peers. It is literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard all other groups strive to reach.

To see SHINee's "View" choreography better you will have to check out a comeback stage or, better yet, one of their concert performances of "View." 😀 You really need to see a live version to appreciate it. Nothing is better than SHINee live. ;D

Welcome to my other love beside BTS ❤ you probably alreasy know but they have just celebrated their 15th anniversary!
They have a huge discography both in Korean and Japanese. They are considered the Kings of Kpop because of their creativity, trendsetting, and excellence as vocalists and dancers. They were the first in SM having the control over their concepts and composing their own songs.
They are amazing performes on stage, they are even better live. The only ones having the same energy on stage, in my opinion, are BTS…
They lost one of the members in 2017 😢 but they remained together, always as 5 in their hearts and in the hearts of Shawols (Shinee World, the fandom)
Thank you for keeping on reacting to them!

Oh you guys are in for a treat 🤗💖💖💖😁✌️🇿🇦

thanks for the reaction guys. SHINee was one of the two groups that introduced me to K-pop, and they still hold the special place in my heart. honestly, i miss 'View' era so much. it reminds me of my carefree teenage years and that warm feeling i used to feel when i was there with them. at some point these guys were my biggest support and family, i hate this contrast between nowadays and this time. seeing people get to know about them is such an overwhelming and dizzy thing

I can just hear people screaming "BABBBBBBYYYYY" !
😂❤

The only thing that I know about shinee is Taemin but I really enjoyed listening to this song they are great 💜💜💜

The Princes of Kpop ❤ Everybody Tokyo Dome live epic!

SHINee introduced deep house in Kpop with View back in 2015. They started and start a lot of trends in kpop, it’s been like that sine their debut era in 2008 up to now still 15 years later. Their discography group and solos (all five members have solo), Korean or Japanese are 👌

STILL WAITING FOR GOT7

Can’t wait for your reaction to the Shinee Guide!!!!!
