I literally cannot stop thinking abt this video y’all...like...three things.

1. I love that they didn’t tell anybody that they were friends, and I love that it’s Timoteo who brings it up. Not only did it prevent favoritism, but it showed a real genuine friendship: that Timoteo didn’t want to get by on Taemin’s name, and that Taemin respects him enough to not let him do so. Also, I bet they wouldn’t have let Taemin judge his friend’s performance if they had known. People (i.e. viewers) would have been more likely to criticize Timoteo or compare him to his more successful friends, and form assumptions abt him not getting his positions by his own merit. That’s why I’m glad its Timoteo that brings it up, because their relationship would effect him and his image a lot more than it would Taemin.

2. I feel like this whole interaction really showcases how absolutely prodigally talented the kpop idols who “make it” are? Like, Timoteo has been in this industry for the same amount of time as Taemin and Kai, and spent the most formidable years of that time receiving the same education. He (and the rest of Hotshot) seem to display the same intense drive to “make it”. Taemin talks about how they used to hide “and crawl out when the practice room workers [would] go home” to “practice singing, try the equipment out, and turn the instruments on.” Timoteo mentions how this is the second survival show Hotshot has been on. They keep trying. They’ve been doing this for eleven years. They’re obviously insanely good at this whole kpop thing by now. Next to any of us, they’d probably look like gods.

Yet, when put on a stage next to people like Taemin, its so obvious how they lack that undefinable thing that only comes with innate talent. It can also come with time to grow and dedicated practice, and I’m sure it has with these guys as well. But there is still just. Something missing. Next to us, they look like gods, but next to someone like Taemin, they look like men. So, how utterly unbelievably ridiculously talented must Taemin be, in order to debut so early? To be so successful? I can’t even comprehend it.

3. This video defines the phrase “There, but by the grace of God, go I.”. At the end of the day, the entire entertainment industry is just one big game of luck. Out of the three, Taemin happened to be the one who was chosen to debut early with SHINee. His personality, style, and potential, happened to blend in the right way with his other members. They happened to come along at the right time, with the right drive and development, to become one of the biggest bands in Korea as the so-called “Princes of Kpop”. If Taemin hadn’t debuted with SHINee, he wouldn’t have the same opportunities for growth and experience that have turned him into a Korean Michael Jackson. He wouldn’t be on that panel if all those things hadn’t come together so perfectly.

Same with Kai. Out of the two, Kai is the one who was chosen to debut with EXO. I’ve heard that Timoteo was going to debut with them but left SM before debut. Assuming that’s true, it is, again, pure bad luck that he left that behind. Because now Kai is in one of two biggest boy groups in Korea, that literally shattered records with album sales, while Timoteo’s group struggles. Timoteo dances to Kai’s song because Kai’s group just happened to be the one that struck at just the right time in just the right way to achieve that kind of notoriety.

Meanwhile, Timoteo talks abt how Hotshot was seen as a failure, and is still struggling even though their members have been successful on two separate survival shows. He talks about how his agency is struggling and “that’s closing some doors for us.”. He worked just as hard for just as long, and yet, as the captions states, “the two are standing as a mentor and mentee today”. They are not equal in the industry. Luck of the draw.

I think that’s part of why Taemin gets so emotional. He’s not stupid. I think he realizes how easily it could be him on this “rebooting” program. And that’s incredibly humbling.

💛 Taemin has just watched all of Sky Castle. He wasn’t able to watch dramas that much because he didn’t want invest much time, but Sky Castle was so fun for him he couldn’t stop. After watching it he thought what kind of parent he will become, if he will be like Yeso’s mom. He said he decided to never become such parent and concluded that Sky Castle is a drama that teaches great morals.He said recently he has been watching Kapichu(?) on YouTube. Even watched his guesting on Knowing brothers. 💛Taemin said every winter his family Eats king crabs and SHINee also used to eat it at their dorm. He said that King crabs should be eaten with precious mind because the people who catch them suffer a lot. Taemin said 10 men die every year because of King crab hunting. 💛Taemin said he was the one who insisted on doing the fanmeet without a host. All alone. He also said that he thought Minho’s fanmeet was not as fun as it could have been since Minho has been on a lot of entertainment shows. But Taemin also apologized at the start of the show for a boring show 😂 💛After performing Korean Ver. of Famous he said that since everyone in the venue is on his side he will reveal that he gets confused with the lyrics and was trying hard to not laugh because of that, but SM doesn’t like it when he says such things. 💛He had to play games and complete 4 different games in 99 seconds and if he couldn’t he would be punished to wear costume to airport. He actually succeeded at first try but then Shawols were protesting so he chose hard 4 games so he now has to wear a costume to airport. What costume will be decided by Shawols. There was a game of throwing hoops at a bowling pin. He could himself decide from what distance he could throw it. He asked which number Shawols liked. We said 5 and he put the pin at 5 that was on the floor but it was quite far so we told him 1. But then Taemin said that if he loses games he will be punished and wear a costume like Olaf to airport. Shawols didn’t know that so everyone changed the number back to 5 so Taemin can’t win 😂 (result here) 💛We sang Haru as encore. It’s an old song SHINee did as a Christmas special. Taemin said that we have opened a Pandora’s box. He even asked if he will sing it tomorrow too. We said no and he said that we shouldn’t trouble ourselves and sing songs from so long ago. 💛Taemin said that he really wants to use Shawols voice for a song. He said he wants to create a song with Shawols and it won’t matter of the public will like that song or not as long as we (Taemin/SHINee and Shawols) enjoy it and understand the meaning behind it. He asked how he can give us the fee for using our voice haha. He seemed quite serious when talking about it. 💛Taemin introduced Moongyu. He said that his childhood friend Timoteo has come. He said that his friend has changed his name. It was originally Moongyu but now he goes by Timoteo 💛At the end he introduced himself as SHINee’s Taemin. This boy really made Shawols cry 😢 💛On the Christmas Card he drew Christmas tree. There were stickers that were like round shaped jewels? something like that. They were in a row but could be used by tearing one by one. At first Taemin didn’t know that and couldn’t stick it to the tree so we told him to tear it and he said he doesn’t want to use such brute way. But then he said he heard some complaints and he said that we are being frustrated with him. So he said he will tear it and stick it and he did that. It was very funny. 💛At the start of the fanmeet he said that he was worried that Shawols would be busy on Christmas day and won’t come to his show. He said that we are just like a pair of lovers. The early years were full of excitement but now were are more like a family and comfortable with each other so when Taemin says he will hold a fanmeet we will be like “Oh? Taemin is holding a fanmeet? That’s good but I am busy that day”. He said since long time has passed all the fans have gotten older too and probably have boyfriends so would be busy on Christmas day 💛He was writing the New Year’s card and then it hit him that its 2020. He asked “Time flies fast right?” Then started thinking how “old” his/SHINee’s career will be. He realized it will 13th year and gasped 😂 💛During one if the VCR’s Taemin also had to draw a Christmas tree. He said that he is not talented in drawing but his drawings give off a certain artistic feeling and that Shawols get his feeling well and praise his drawings 😂Also he was asked which winter he remembers the best. He answered that he is doesn’t remember well if what he remembers happened in 2008 or 2010 so he will just go with this year’s winter cause it’s the nearest and he remembers it the best 😂 💛He was asked between beer and soju. After thinking long enough he answered beer. He does not like jjajjangmyun or jjangbun at the moment but he chose jjangbun (chinese spicy seafood noodle soup) 💛When drawing at the Christmas Card, he only drew a brown line and Shawols were already hyping him up and cheering. He was very entertained, showed the line he drew to the camera and said “I only drew this and you are this happy? I shall just finish it this way” Taemin said he wanted to wear a couple item with Shawols so giving Shawols antler hair accessory was Taemin’s idea. He opened the show while wearing an antler himself, too. 💛Taemin actually forgot he had to perform Goodbye and was going to head to backstage to prepare for encore and in the middle of walking he remembered he still had one more stage 😂

🧀He is asking each section if we’ve been well. 🧀: "I prepared things with Christmas feeling for you!" 🧀Since he performed a Korean Ver of FAMOUS, He was surprised when he found out so many fans saw Famous on abroad and did a shy bow 🧀He said “I failed” while drawing LMFAO. It’s a Christmas tree!!! And present boxes! 🧀He’s going to decorate a tree but it’s like a baby tree that’s like only a meter and he took a huge sign that says merry Christmas and put scuba goggles ln the top. He said to himself it doesn’t look too bad. Shawols are laughing as the cameraman just zooms on the Christmas tree on the side. we are so patient 🧀Next corner on the extended stage! There are two missions and there are prizes. The screen says taemission. 🧀He said it’s time for the next corner and he is moving his own table but he is so confused. He made a mistake. IT’S SO FUNNY. He’s definitely listening to the director through his mic. He’s so cute because he was shocked how the table was set up on the main stage and he keeps walking everywhere trying to manage his fanmeet by himself. He’s so endearing. 🧀The camera is zooming on him drawing a tree but it looks like a green umbrella. All the fans are coping saying awww! Wow!!! and saying we like it.He drew a small red box and like an H shaped green thing. As if he knew we wouldn’t understand what it was he whispered ribbon. He drew a heart with a ^^ inside on the back. It says 'I love you’! He's writing a short message ande asked us if we trust him to put the stickers on but we are all panicking and suggesting and guiding him through the process LOL. He is breaking up the rhinestone stickers and dotting the tree. He also took out his in-ear and he dropped something so we told him where it was.He said he was going to put a secret in it but the camera man jokingly zoomed in as he wrote it LOL He’s slightly panicking because the line of shawol diamonds stickers stuck his finger tips and it was so funny so he ended up putting all of them on the envelope to seal it 🧀At the end during photo session, He’s joking to check our makeup and he said how someone has an eyelash on their cheek.He made us say merry Christmas shinee instead of cheese. He is the softest and always thinks of shinee.
