The dance practice and concert performance are better than the video imo!
Of all of his backup dancers, this is my favorite team.
Although Taemin's "Famous" — which was released in 2019 — doesn't sound like it on the surface, when we read the English translation of the lyrics, we see it's actually kind of a sad song. Taemin isn't being cocky, he's being sarcastic and maybe a little facetious. The song is about how he has sort of lost his true self and no longer knows who he really is after becoming so famous. He talks about how living in the public eye all the time, he feels like he is always being watched and he can no longer live a normal life, etc. I interpret the ticking movements, for example, to be a representation of the fear and anxiety he feels with the fact that he always has to keep up a public image and the pressure he feels to be perfect.
I think we see him bleeding because it's showing how he is literally putting everything he has into his career, but he feels, metaphorically, like people aren't satisfied unless they see him shed blood, sweat and tears. He feels like he can never live up to the public's expectations of him and that no matter what he does, there is always someone looking to tear him down, etc.
Taemin isn't the one bringing the drama, he's talking about the drama being created by others and outside forces that cause drama in his life. (Drama isn't a good thing.)
I see the crash test dummies representing several different things. First, he is no longer just going to sit around like a dummy allowing outside forces to use him as their test dummy to see how far they can push him, etc. I also see it as, he is going to stop allowing those brainless dummies to have a role in his life. In other words, Taemin won't allow those dummies — i.e. those nameless, faceless people and things that are creating the drama — to continue to exist in his life and he is setting them on fire to get rid of them and end the drama.
Now this might be a stretch, but a few theories think that maybe Taemin's "Famous" MV — which was released right before SuperM started their pre-debut activities — could be connected to his storyline in SuperM. The scenes in his "Famous" MV are similar to several scenes throughout all of SuperM's teaser videos. In "Famous" we see Taemin point a gun at himself — which could also be connected to the similar storyline in Taemin's solo "Press Your Number" MV — similar to NCT's Taeyong's scene in his SuperM teaser. We also see Taemin inside a black picture frame in "Famous," which is similar to WayV Ten's SuperM teaser, and in that same scene in "Famous" it looks like it's showing Taemin's alter ego in the painting just like NCT's Mark in his SuperM teaser. In "Famous" Taemin is also staring at himself in a broken mirror similar to Mark's broken mirror in his SuperM teaser. (I'm not 100% convinced that they are connected, but it's just something else to think about.)
All of Taemin's songs have similar themes, he uses his solo work to present a message about his life or society in general. Taemin is really smart, and he is very introspective. When he was younger, he often struggled to break out of his shell and really express himself. So as a solo artist he uses his songs, MVs and performances to tell his story and to give a voice to the things he feels are important or something he wants people to understand about him or life in general. That is why Taemin's songs/MVs are often about the duality of a person and how he has struggled most of his life to come to terms with how people think of him vs. the way he sees himself, etc. You often see him tied up because it represents how he is always struggling to break free from something.
And as a Catholic, he is also very devoted to his faith, so most of his MVs also have a biblical undertone to them that reference stories or lessons from the Bible.
I see the message in "Famous" as being connected to the themes within his Korean albums Never Gonna Dance Again — "2 Kids", "Criminal," "Idea," etc. — and Advice (and now also "Guilty") where he talks about being in love with his career, but that doesn't come without sacrifices, such as having to endure the pain of keeping up a public image and the constant pressure he is under as an Idol who is always being scrutinized by the public, etc.
"Famous" is one of Taemin's Japanese songs. SHINee debuted in 2011 in Japan and Taemin had his solo Japanese debut in 2016. Taemin and SHINee are very famous in Japan and they have just as many songs and albums in Japanese as they do in Korean. They are so popular as Japanese artists that they are considered part of the mainstream Japanese music scene and most Japanese people don't even consider SHINee or Taemin foreign artists. They are so influential that Japanese interviewers even travel to Korea to interview them.
I was hoping you were going to check out the dance practice for the song and not the "performance version" MV. You really need to see the dance practice to understand why this is such an iconic set of choreography.
I love all of your TAEMIN reactions!! I hope you check the MV for Horizon as well 💙
