Of course! Shinee is the best taste!

Agreed!! I seriously need to re-ult them. Like one of their members is already an ult bias

Do itttt.

tbh I think I was more of an Onew solo stan for awhile, but then I actually properly listened to their disc and got to know the members, and boy I don't regret it. I love all the members dearly! I love all the groups I stan but Shinee just hits so much different for me. I might drop other groups, but definitely not them haha

ah that's just me though. My passion for them is on the intense side sometimes sdfkj Point is, their disc is flawless and the members are amazing so hell yeah to ulting!

They really are amazing!! They were one of the first kpop groups that I stanned but I un-ulted them when the members started going to the military because of no new content but I still have such a soft spot for Jonghyun that I couldn’t un-ult him

Ah totally get that. Like Kard is still an ult group for me, but I haven't been focused on them since there aren't as many group activities with J.Seph being enlisted. The occasionally solo activities are great. I think BM will flourish as a solo artist, and Jiwoo appearing on the show Double Trouble and doing performances with Hyunseung is cool! But I really miss OT4 :(((

But I can never lose complete interest in Shinee. I miss Taemin a lot but their solo projects are so good! I'm eagerly anticipating Onew's solo album. He's currently growing out his hair since they haven't decided the concept yet and omg if this is the return of long haired onew I'd be super happyfs dl

I couldn't fully loose interest in SHINee, they really are that good! And I totally feel you when you say about Taemin, I miss him. And the news about his mental health worries me but also is relieved to know the military is taking it seriously.

Yeahh I'm hoping that the change in environment will help him.

Yeah I hope so too <3

On a brighter note though, I really really enjoyed Key's solo activities

Yess Bad Love is so good. The whole mini album is a no skip.

I'm happy to see Minho finally get some more solo work as well. Would like an album but I'll take what I can get. Onew's collab with Punch was good. I was really shook to see him sing with Ningning at smcu livestream.

Hate that... is my addiction at the moment!

It's good to see all members getting the spotlight they deserve. In some groups the members are overshadowed but not in SHINee's case

Hate That is amazing

i think my favorite is Yellow Tape, and I find myself going back to it and the other songs on his album... Key really created a fine piece of work.

Oh for sure, each member can stand on their own quite well, and bring something unique to the group... that makes Shinee such a gem of a group!

Yes exactly!! You hit the nail on the head!!

I keep going back to Jonghyun's discography tbh lately

Omgg Jonghyun has such a strong solo discography.

Cocktail is my favorite song of his... it's just so powerful!

Crazy (Guilty Pleasure) and Lonely are probably mine, depends on my mood which one I go for

Also good ones! But there are a lot of songs of his that I like... he was an amzing artist sdflk

He's such an amazing artist I will forever be an OT5 shawol

Yes!! SHINee will always be a five member group in my heart.

I will never understand "fans" who aren't OT5 tbh

I mean... even you started stanning shinee after Jonghyun's passing... knowing their history, you'd know what a beautiful person Jonghyun was and just how much he meant to the members. They wouldn't have been the same without him. So like, after understanding all that... well it just makes sense to be ot5.

Yeah exactly!!
For me, him being my first ever kpop bias holds a special spot in my heart. I discovered SHINee back in 2012 (wow that really ages me lol)
