I'm a new fan and I have been wondering when the hyungs were in the military did taemin show footages of ALL his hyungs face timing/calling him in his concert DVD footage or was it just of minho?

Hello new fan, or ~Baby Shawol~🍼👶🏼,

I think you're discussing the behind for Taemin's last tour before COVID, XTM. XTM is SO SO good. Anyway, from everything I've seen, Minho seems to have been the hyung with whom Taemin kept in closest contact. There was footage of Taemin talking to Minho on the phone used in the surprise video at the end of the tour, and you can see Taemin get a little teary. I'm sure he spoke about that moment, too, in that DVD behind.

2Min during the Professor Taemin Advice VLive, 2021.

So, to answer your question. I think it was just Minho. That doesn't mean he didn't video call Onew or Key, it just means that wasn't shown in the DVD behind or the surprise video.

In 2019, I think it was only Minho who went to T1001101 and XTM. In the 2021 Advice release livestream, Minho says he's been to all of Taemin's tours, but Taemin disagrees (lol). I don't know what they're counting tbh - because I don't think Minho went to 1st Nippon Budokkan. That's definitely not in the DVD; and lovely Jonghyun being extra is, along with other SM hyungs and noonas on the 2nd date (if I'm not confusing performances).

Minho's declaration during Taemin's Press It VLive, 2016.

When Key was enlisted, he took a break from seeing SHINee altogether. Minho and Taemin have both said Key turned down their invitations to hangout on leave. Key joked on Knowing Bros that he was only interested in seeing women, but he also didn't see the point in meeting up with Minho because he knew he'd see him after discharge anyway [because he has no choice, lol]. Oh, Key, never change.

Minho's iconic "artist boyfriend" look while visiting Taemin on tour, 2019.

Did 2Min meet up in person during Minho's enlistment? We know they did because there is footage of them at Minho's movie premiere embracing in the parking lot. On Knowing Bros, 2Min were adamant in saying they never met up in person during his enlistment. Idk what that's about (and there were sightings of 2Min during Minho's enlistment), but Knowing Bros were leaning into how Taemin knew everything about Minho's enlistment (Taemin was telling Minho's enlistment stories) and kept emphasizing it, so maybe it was to downplay their friendship - idk why that was needed when Minho and Onew confirmed they met in person on leave.

Minho visiting Taemin on tour, 2019.

Did Minho see Taemin during Taemin's enlistment period? I don't think he could see him when he was on regular duty because leave wasn't allowed (if I'm remembering right). When Taemin's announcement about switching happened, Minho Bubbled that we shouldn't worry because they were together. Some people were quick to say he meant figuratively, but the words he used could mean either, and I'm no expert so who can say? Could be more downplaying for privacy, this time by fans. But Minho was the only one in the car with Taemin, other than Euisoo driving, we assume, when Taemin enlisted. Taemin was allowed one person with him to enlist (those were the covid rules), and that person was Minho.

Ooooh Shinee world is a mess today and for once it's not taemints fault 🥲

An article about fans asking for a Taemin would tour and "shawols" in the quotes going "no shinee" "shinee first" "wait until Jinki comes back so shinee can have a world first"

Like, I too would love a Shinee world tour, I want all of them both solo and as a group to go everywhere(in particular where I am but I won't hold my breath) but that wasn't what it was about. It was fans of Taemin's solo music asking for a tour.

It baffles me cause you never see this kind of thing with the other members. No ot5 shawol will ever expect another member to put their work on hold but, when it comes to Taemin it's like some people can't stand to see him spread his wings.

People never expect Key to put his variety work second, or for Minho to not take acting job, shawols have actively gotten mad if they think Minho had to turn down acting stuff due to his schedule. All Taemin does is music. That is his thing but some fans just cannot seem to respect his career. And all the baby talking in the quotes "we love our cutsey wootsy little taeminnie *but*..."

It's getting really irritating. I used to think some of what taemints say is exaggerated and I still believe that a bit. People were getting angry that the Shinee account didn't post Taemin's hanteo artist of the year nomination and only posted Shinee's, but it makes sense to me. They don't want to split votes and a win for Shinee is a win for all of them. But at the same time some of the disrespect I've seen towards him from supposedly ot5 shawols has been eye-opening.

I dunno, this fandom has been a mess lately and it's only the 4th. 2024 is off the quite the start.

Lol, I sort of find it funny when it's not Taemin fans being the mess-makers. Like they are the worst-behaved, though I would say each solo fandom has their unique flavor. But, what you're highlighting is the biggest open secret in shawol-dom.

Let's have sexy photos in this post for no reason.

Like, shawols are for the most part chill. I've been around these parts for a long time, and a bad day in shinee world is miles and miles better than a bad day in BTS fandom and similar. There isn't violent language or a huge level of harassment. I just want to acknowledge that because the complaints I'll make next are from the privileged shinee world perspective where there is a higher behavior standard. That is the case, even when Taemin fans are being stupid. Like, not once did I see the Golden Disc Awards violently harassed.

So, the open secret: it's all yay Taemin until he gets too much attention. And you noticed it's still very much "our baby taemin" even tho man's been out there trying to fuck the stage for a decade, lol. I see these as two sides of the same coin. They want him in his place as perpetual baby to uwu over, and daring solo work is fine as long as it doesn't outshine everything.

I think with Key it's easier for people to compartmentalise because he's super super successful outside of SHINee when it comes to TV and sponsorships (istg he IS Olive Young, lol; his face was all over Seoul), but those things don't directly compete with SHINee's work. These are complementary endeavours. Key's solo work is now having its career high since Bad Love, and it's only growing, so this condescending solo situation may repeat itself. But, Key's also not the group's little baby. I can't see him being treated the same. The fandom's most egregious behavior towards him has always been rooted in stereotypes. I mean, look how quickly and comfortably people slotted him into this squabbling "marriage" dynamic with Minho. Their arguing is funny, despite how played up for the camera it can be, but I see a lot of "iykyk" weird posts about him and Minho. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked.

There is always going to be an element of competition when it comes to solo work. Onew's Circle just got named Billboard's #1 kpop album of 2023. Guilty didn't even make their best of list. Now, I think Guilty was overlooked but Onew deserved #1. It's an extraordinary album. Minho is cultivating this very sexy and mature solo repertoire. This competition will grow, but I think Taemin will always be the target of condescension, minimizing and infantilizing.

He's the perpetual baby who will be put in the obedient baby box. And those fans will be incised when/if Taemin gets to do something they find meaningful before SHINee, even if it's a clear matter of logistics. There is a definite attitude present, and you might notice there is a certain superiority fans have over his solo work. I've been in situations where people have quite literally said they think X member's solo concerts are better than Taemin's with their whole chests. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but when it comes to him, people are wayyyyy to comfortable putting him down.

Anyway, it will always be a bigger "but not him" with Taemin because he was given solo first and has built this legacy of work and has a lot of influence within the industry. Stolid group fans take pride in that when it suits them, but want him to be sidelined when it interferes with their desires.

#this attitude has been around for a very very long time #i mean when he first went solo and even the year before #fans didn't like how he was changing and maturing #he gets treated like a possession or a prop in some ways #taemin #that's the only tag I will add #there is def a thing where he's sort of just a stupid weirdo baby to large swathe of shawols lol #idk how else to put it
