Could you please react to "y si fuera ella" live performance by jonghyun or "end of a day" live performance by jonghyun? He was an amazing vocalist and I would love to see you react to his solo work! ❤

I love SM Town collabs! SM has done crossovers with their in-house artists for a long time. They've def been doing SM artist/group crossover concerts/stages/festivals since before 2006 cuz that was the year I got into kpop and I watched a bunch of collab stages that year.
In the old days, there were also a lot more cross-gender team ups and cross-company showcases as well. SHINee members are in a bunch of them.
Here's one of my favorite stages from 2012 where SHINee and their sister gg called f(x) team up in a "cover battle" against B.A.P and the gg Secret. So it was a TS vs SM entertainment battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eInMulXtj4
I think you've only seen a cover of an f(x) song by Dreamcatcher. f(x) is a SM girl group that debuted in 2009 (1 year after SHINee) but unfortunately stopped promotions a few years ago and the last members left SM as of 2021. f(x) was the sister group to SHINee in that they had similar experimental, contemporary, trendsetting concepts like SHINee but for women. They're basically the proto-Aespa when it comes to experimental music.
For another memorable SM artist collab, who can forget the wonderful Taemin and BoA performance of BoA's iconic song "Only One" from the 2020 MAMA awards? (https://youtu.be/P38yHXB1Pp8?t=251)
This is one of BoA's biggest hits (The GRIP this song had on me 10 years ago...my goodness!) and she performs it a lot with some top male kpop idols/dancers like TVXQ's Yunho, EXO's Sehun, Super Junior's Eunhyuk, Ten from NCT/WayV, and more. She even did a stage with a non-SM artist, Wanna One & NU'EST's Minhyun!
However she's said a few times that her favorite partner to dance with for this stage is Taemin. He's done a lot with her over the last 10 years but the latest 2020 version is my favorite due to his maturity and an aching vulnerability to it that he didn't have in the older performances. It's fun to watch all of BoA and Taemin's collabs for this stage together in order to see how much Taemin's grown as a dancer from a decade ago.
Anyway, sorry for this literal essay. Y'all got me thinking of collabs and I wandered a bit.

Speaking on the dice symbolism discussion, I interpreted that the masked guys actually attacked the girl to steal her multisided die since her and Onew seem to be the only people still possessing individuality in that universe. That's why the henchman is shaking when we see him with it and at the end she's stealing it back from them as she escapes. Maybe taking the dice away strips you of choice and personal autonomy and turns you into a masked clone to be controlled like the others.
SHINee loves to do these surrealist, unsettling kind of concepts. But they all do them so differently such that they have completely distinct and individual vibes. It makes them all feel like their own artist when solo but such a cohesive team when they come together.
The Dice mini album is super wavy. One of my favorite albums in 2022. The b-sides are A-1 forreal. Y'all should check out the "Dice" dance practice. I absolutely LOVE the choreo for this. It's so fun with subtle yet deceptively intricate formations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkiLu3vJSzw
BTW, Onew also just released a couple showcases of b-sides from the Dice album yesterday that were filmed in Sydney last month. Very chill vibe. He was in Australia filming a travel show with Jae Hwan from Wanna One. Part of the show is to film song performances. This one is called "In the whale" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbQX-jCBkcs). One of my fav Onew songs.
I know you have a tier for requests so this is more of a recommendation for expanding your Onew and SHINee journey. If I get to a point where I can pay for your higher tier for a longer period, I'll definitely shoot some SHINee requests your way!

Thanks so much for the reaction! Onew is my bias in SHINee and my all time favorite voice in kpop. He's always shined in SHINee's songs, but I feel like he really killed it in their album (Don't Call Me) last year. I think y'all would like his solo debut "Blue." He sounds heavenly in that song.
And to correct you Nick (even tho the way you were saying his name was cute lol): It's pronounced like Oh-New. Hope that helps!

Yay!!!! Literally one of my top mini albums of the year, no skip, perfect chill and bright spring/summer vibe!!
Also, was a totally unexpected and new sound from Onew since he’s known for ballads. He wanted to expand and everyone was pleasantly surprised!!!

SM since Gen 1 has always had a lot of in-house interactions between their artists and they put out collaborative projects every now and then. Although not every year, putting out an SMTOWN Winter album is nothing new. My goal is get myself to an SMTOWN concert someday.

You mentioned how his voice sounded operatic in the "Don't Call Me" reaction, which is funny because he did an opera piece as a solo stage for one of their concerts!

Agreed. Since they love his voice, "Blue" is a beautiful display of his vocal abilities! It was so different from all the other idol solos, but so suitable for him.

Yay! Onew is amazing! I highly recommend his first song “Blue”
It is a completely different vibe from this one and showcases how incredible his vocals are. ☺️
