#2min ask

[peppertaemint]

Sorry I'm also a baby Shawol and I just wonder if the footage the other anon referred to (the one about Taemin showing videocall with Minho) and you said that Taemin talked about it with teary eye. Are those snippets strictly in the XTM concert DVD or can they be found online? I tried googling to see if I could find them on youtube but failed :(

Hello Baby Shawol(s)! I'm thinking there's more than just a few of you passing through. So here are some cute things you might not know about.

The clip you asked for is here. It's thought that Minho video called a lot because there are references to it at different times.

Minho in the audience at Taemin's concert and the two being super dramatic sending hearts, 2019.

Another angle here.

A smug Taemin bragging about marine Minho calling him.

From @iheart2Min on twt:

minho called taemin when he was doing smtown alone; minho called taemin during taemin’s japanese solo concert; minho called and commented when taemin did 12 anni live alone and when he made his comeback; minho contacted taemin after his first stage, saying it’s lee taemin over ggs—

View-era 2Min getting called out from underneath the stage by Onew. 🤭

This is from 2023 but cute and really has no context or explanation.

Baby 2Min being cute and playful & Playful, grown 2Min.

And you should see the videos of Minho's discharge.

Erm so Taemin said he would make Minho hyung happy today, his room was right next to Minho's, and Minho's pants were unbutton during live (https://x.com/choisrose/status/1733485943074525194?s=46)

Someone gets my mind out of the gutter....

LISTEN

I'm barely surviving here. I got the deranged Bubble and was like, okay Taem 🌝. Lately he's so suggestive with Minho. Anyhow, then the IG live happened. There was 100% someone else in the room. I watched it live. He looked off at whoever was there really obviously at one point.

I only saw the pants thing afterward when it was circulating. What possessed Minho to show that off?! Maybe he was just comfortable after a big meal, but the way he showed it off was kind of suggestive.

The other thing people were noting was how quietly he was talking and apparently he specifically said the room wasn't soundproof so he needed to be quiet or something.

Innocent explanations or.... ?

Choose your own adventure!

why is august 27 (26? 28?) 2min day? half of my twitter is saying that too, and i can't find the origin for this :D

It's 27th of August because that's the date in 2008 baby 2Min both agreed they would date one another when asked which member they'd date if they had to choose. Someone did post the link, but I can't find it. They're literal babies, and it's so cute and awkward. Jonghyun yells something like "a couple is born!" Lol. Jjong being a huge 2Min shipper is the best.

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.

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.

I sincerely appreciate your answer regarding my question about broadcasted video calls in taemin's concert DVD during the hyungs military enlistment period. Tbh I feel like both minho and taemin are probably dating their respective gfs ATM but there is just something mysterious about their brotherhood/friendship that makes me go hmmmmm loool

🤭 sounds like their mysterious friendship has you thinking thoughts, Anon.

Hi there! I just had a funny experience and wanted to share with 2min enthusiasts. So I have always been an avid fashion fan and have bought many big brands since I started working ages ago. Among those, Celine is definitely one of my favorites. I got into SHINee and Taemin around 3 months ago, so I recognized a lot of Celine items that Taemin had, and one of that is a Celine logo necklace that he wore literally everywhere (Instalives, challenge videos, interviews, you name it). But I have never seen that design before and despite about 2 weeks searching for the source of it, I failed (I have extensive source too). So I figured it must have been a really rare vintage item. Fast forward to just now, I visited the Celine store to buy a hat for my husband, and I just randomly wandered around the men section of the store, and saw that exact pendant clipped on the zipper as a part of a bomber jacket. I was like "OMGGG" and asked the clerk, to which she said it belongs to that jacket and can be taken off, but is not sold separately. When I saw the jacket, I instantly remember that it was the one Minho wore to the airport. And guess what, it missed the little pendant in the picture lol. It might be a hugee coincidence, but in my mind I was like this is one of those hidden subtle couple things lollllll

(I don't know how to send pictures via ask but here is the link https://www.celine.com/en-us/celine-blouson-jacket-in-lightweight-nylon-2W973661V.07MR.44.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj8fD2sOZgQMVIQ19Ch0u4wvTEAQYFSABEgJ19vD_BwE)

Hello 2Min Tea Anon! You're very welcome here. 🤭 I would love to accept all types of 2Min tea.

So! I have been wondering about that necklace because I couldn't find it online when I looked before. After work, I'll check again.

Here is the jacket:

Now, in these photos of Minho in the jacket, he did have the little pendant on it. But I think he's work the jacket more than once?

Anon! Please come back and bring receipts if you can. Enquiring minds want to know.

if Taemin was performing on the moon, would Minho get there? I’m picturing him training with NASA for three days

A cute 2Min Ask, in this economy?!

Of course he would get there. He'd burst into SpaceX with AKs if he had to just to get access to a rocket. Hopefully, NASA would just take him to avoid this. He's so fit, they'd probably run extra tests just to marvel at him.

Bigger question: how is Taemin performing on the moon and why does he already live there like some Moon God/Goddess?

[peppertaemint]

If aliens would land on earth tomorrow and they’d need to get the basics and the latest news on 2Min, how would you explain it to them?

What would you do if one of the alien realises it’s a distant relative of Taemin?

Omg this Ask is 💀 If (another 😏) flying saucer lands at Roswell tomorrow and their first priority is getting up to date on 2Min, I would take on the challenge. All they'd need to do is watch 18 years of content, which they could probably do rather quickly with their alien gear. I'd let them come to their own conclusions about 2Min, but I would step in to stop any ray gun use or abductions.

If one of the aliens turns out to be a relative of Taem well, I'd be glad to see them reunited but my chief concern would be keeping Taem out of Area 51.
