i'm bad at birthday gifsets so there's none from me but i hope everyone knows that ever since i got into kpop and found taemin i've been mesmerized by his talent and just him as a creative person. his vision and his thoughts. so it's always... idk. i talk about a bunch of ppl on here and sometimes i sound crazy and overexcited abt the entire world but not many can share a spot with lee taemin in terms of how strongly i wish them warmth and happiness and relaxation and love and fun and all those nice nice things

#it's been almost 6 years of tae.min love and support can u believe #(should be 6 years of shi.nee love and support but i'm stupid ok?) #anyways i needed a place to write my thoughts cause like ksdjlasf tae.min makes me emotional for some reason sometimes #i worried a lot abt him during his enlistment and i love that i get to see him again #we all get to bask in his art i guess or whatever lmao god im like.. embarrassing but it's FINE #he's just dear to my heart in ways i don't think i rly show #on here at least #has been and will be important #also just him being my gateway drug to shi.nee #as if i didn't already love him before as a soloist #but as w every shi.nee member something feels off if u don't listen to the group too. it's like a missing puzzle piece #ANYWAYS #rose.txt

Hey! I hops life has been treating you well! And warning for a long and convoluted ask incoming (which is pretty par for the course for me). I’ve been going down a Yunho (U-Know Yunho to be precise lol) rabbit hole and I’m curious how you think he compares to other male SM solo artists especially Taemin (though I think it would be interesting to compare all SM solo artists like BOA or Taeyeon and Hyoyeon for the purpose of this ask im just thinking about the dudes). Cause I feel like him, Taemin, and Kai all fall on different ends of the same spectrum that’s distinct from some of the other SM solos like the other Exos (except I might add Baekhyun in there but I’m just not familiar enough with him) as they tend to tackle that darker sexier sound. I’ve been thinking about how when people say a male solo artists is making taemin lite music it’s usually actually closer to Yunho’s more recent stuff. Like taemin has kind of become short hand for dark male solo concept especially if it’s on the sexier or high concept side when that’s not always an accurate comparison. I’ve seen this especially with Wonho which is really interesting to me cause in my mind he falls way more on the Yunho end of the spectrum than Taemin (by like a long shot). And this could also be cause the kpop circles I run in are way less familiar with Yunho to make that comparison in the first place, I was just wondering if others like you that knew Yunho would agree with me. I also found it interesting that Taemin went solo before Yunho even though TVXQ are the older group so I wonder he affected Yunho’s music at all. Cause Yunho kind of seems like a more, I don’t want to say masculine, definitely more of a player, conventionally sexy foil to taemin’s more unhinged (satanic?? Fantasy? Horror-adjacent? I can’t really describe it accurately but I mean TVXQ has down their share of that too) sensual side and I can’t tell if it’s cause of the age difference between them, their group concepts (I mean TVXQ are the grown men of the kpop industry in my mind and I have no doubt they play a role in inspiring any “manly” or mature concept and Yunho’s concepts seems to follow pretty closely to TVXQ’s image in a way that Taemin doesn’t at all with Shinee), or their own artist personas and careers- taemin has always been viewed as the “feminine” one and you’ve talked a lot about how he’s both rejected and embraced that image overtime in his career. And to further complicate this I don’t really know where to put Kai between them cause he has the more overt sex appeal in Mmmh, and in his image over all, that Yunho has but also is more sensual and softer (subtle?) dance style that seems closer to taemin (or at least taemin’s image I’ll be the first to admit that my understanding of him as an artists doesnt always align with his actual output and the expectations I project on him) so I guess he goes in the middle. But peaches does really stand out as a sort of softer lighter storybook concept (which I love cause I feel like we don’t see traditional concepts that are more feel good) so that kind of throws a wrench into my theory and I guess thats what I get for treating artists’ output as a monolith and for comparing them😅. This ask is getting very very long and I’m late for class so I won’t continue but I did have some idea about where Xiumin’s recent comeback fits into this roster of artists but I’ll save that for another day lol. As always thanks for your input and I hope this makes at least some sense to you!

i stopped photo editing to answer this lmao bc i think this a very interesting question/thought experiment etc etc

firstly, most people will make the taemin comparison for male soloist because he is significantly more well known as a soloist, and part of that is that he's famous for being a soloist; an extension of which is the disparity between his solo work and his group work. now there are two points i want to fork off into from here:

-> the first is that it's a flawed comparison to place yunho, taemin, and kai on a spectrum because they're not derivatives of each other in the way that a spectrum would imply; what they all are is derivatives of rain. every dance-based male soloist is, via some lineage, a descendant of rain, whether it's through the skills line (taemin) or the 'masculinity' line (yunho) or a mix (kai). baekhyun doesn't factor in here because he's almost purely rnb based and therefore a kangta derivative.

-> the second is that it is valid for people to be making that comparison to taemin because most younger idols are going to be using him as reference, and because a lot of these younger idols are following his method of creating a separate solo persona from their group. yunho does not have that distinction. he is quite literally the face of tvxq, and therefore inextricably bound to the group's identity because there are literally only two of them. if they were, for example, still a five member group, he might have had more a chance to diversify himself a bit, but that's a bygone point because we don't live in that world. the reason tvxq made it through the split and maintained being an extremely successful group is very likely because of yunho's singlehanded determination. obviously changmin does care about the group, but as we've seen with his solo work, he's much more of a musical chameleon; he's more focused on dabbling in widely different genres that interest him. yunho's solo music however, is pretty consistent in sound and also not all that surprising of a leap from who he is in tvxq. so by that observation, i would say there isn't actually a difference between uknow yunho and uknow the soloist. his artistic identity is tvxq, in a way that he can't separate, unlike how taemin can separate from shinee. and following that point through, no younger soloist can really be compared to him because his history and group image are so integral to what he does. that's why there's like a negative number of young idols that every attempt to cover a yunho song, bc the vibes of something like follow or thank u would OBLITERATE anyone under the age of 30.

if you were to look at just aesthetics and music styles, sure on the surface there are some younger idols that unintentionally skew more towards some of the stuff that yunho has done, but in the end that's because they're all under the rain umbrella.

#kpop questions #tvxq w #tvxq #yunho #taemin meta #i know i've talked about this before in a post somewhere. but yunho's only comparable peers are literally like. junsu and rain #both them COULD cover a yunho song if they wanted to. but again. their vibes are wrong. they don't have the same desperation #to be completely honest i actually think it's unimportant to compare the literal aesthetics/music style of solo artists #and instead you need to compare HOW they approach those aesthetics styles etc etc #like you could say that taemin kai yunho and baekhyun have all done dance based 'dark sexy' concepts within a relatively close timespan: #criminal (sept 2020) mmmh (nov 2020) thank u (jan 2021) and bambi (march 2021) #but that doesnt take into account the fact that all of them approach the concept of 'dark sexy' totally differently #and each according to their own contexts #i dont think you can put all of sm's soloists on a big scale of similarity of music and aesthetic #i mean. you can bc duh theyre all gonna look and sound similar bc they share resources #but that's not seeing the forest for the trees in terms of actually analysing and understanding a soloist's work #this is basically just a very longwinded way of me saying that i dont think there's anyone that makes solo work like yunho #i guess you could argue that kai is actually the most similar to yunho since he doesnt have a real distinction between solo kai and exo kai #but again its different bc he's got a wider array of genres he's willing to try and exo is not the same as tvxq #but again again its not about relating them to each other. its about relating them in comparison to rain #answers #text #like when i say taemin is more popular i mean like. 1.2 million monthly spotify listeners vs 30k. its not an insignificant difference

sometimes when it comes to groups/bands I hope that the friendship survives and lives on, over the band itself. that they are given the capacity to take the breaks when they need to and stop when they need to, in order to give themselves and their relationships longevity. because i think that a large part of what makes being in a group or a band special is experiencing it all with the rest of your members and while every individual will have a unique view, it’s experiences shared for all the good and bad, and I sincerely hope they all get to hold on to that connection. which maybe is too optimistic or too idealistic, but art created and let out into the world will survive for better or worse. it’s the people and friendships that will take the most work, face the most obstacles, but yet capable of existence long after the music stops. so while I wish groups and bands long careers and happiness in their art, I hope they get to hold on to each other if they choose to, too. I think it’s something so special to find people not just to share art with, but to create with, too.

#idk how to explain it exactly #but when solo projects are the side projects #or artists in groups will always seem themselves in some part of a group #i think that’s really special #i think friendship is special #and it always bugs me when people speculate friendship break ups or w/e #bc i get that friends fight etc etc #and maybe not all friendships are supposed to last #but to create art with other people and share those experiences #i hope they’re all given the opportunity to prioritize themselves and the people they love #without sacrificing the art they create #that i can’t stand when people wish disbandment on groups #because honestly MOST groups… that’s where they want to be #and i stand by the notion that there are artists meant to be in groups and artists meant to be soloist #joe of jb is an example of the former. wondee pretty much examples or the latter #*of #idk i just… i wish for happiness and success to come together for everyone. to do what they love and hold on to the people they love #that is all #alison speaks? #to delete perhaps #this might be a teeny bit of feelings about #bee tea es

I thank God everyday for X1’s disbandment

#nah bc I’ve known about him since Different #and I don’t think I could’ve handled 5 years of him w/o the creative freedom and artistry he has as a soloist #I can tell this project was among his most personal and his growth as a singer-songwriter and person is admirable #and most importantly the music slaps as always #Busted - Woodz #.fm
