Yes, and if you didn't know, we have done a few SHINee episodes. A pop 101 episode where we discuss their whole career up to before the Don't Call Me comeback. And then we did a full track-by-track album review of Hard. Hard.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:28 Yes, hard. Definitely go check out those episodes if you haven't after this one. Okay, put it in the playlist, honey. Put it in there. Yes, and like we said, we're both huge, shiny fans. We are Shauls. I did wake up at 4.30 a.m. to watch the live stream of Shiny World 7. Yes, he did. Yes. How was Lucifer not in the original set list? At least they did it on that one night. Yeah.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:58 That's bananas. Wow. They only did it on one of the nights, and it wasn't DVD night, so thank God for these live streams. Literally. Oh, gosh. Okay, so we're discussing the brand new single. Yes. Yes. So, released on May 25th, 2025, to mark Shiny's 17th debut anniversary, Poet Artist is the group's first single album ever, and it comprises of two tracks, I think in Korea, and the physical album has already achieved the group's highest first day sales ever. Yeah.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:23 Wow. That's crazy. And the title track, Poet Artist, was written and co-composed by member Jung Hyun before his passing. And the group wanted to wait for the perfect moment to record and release the track. And this single album also features the track Starlight. So for each track this episode, we will discuss the production, vocals, and lyrics and give our ratings for each song. Viewer discretion is advised. Your fave will be criticized.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:49 Yes. But first, let's discuss the single cover. So it's a close-up photo of the boys' hands together and illuminated. And there is an accompanying photo shoot that appears to reference a previous Junghyun photo shoot for the Poet Artist album as well. Because it's kind of that one spotlight. Yes, with the red and pink color. And the physical additions also came with five little plushies. The fluffy plushies representing the members.

00:02:49 --> 00:03:00 That was so cute. Yeah. So each member, I think, had a physical album, and they also had the group album. So, yeah, what do you think of the main, you know, shot of the hands? You know...

00:03:01 --> 00:03:27 It feels like even though they're all separate and doing their own things, they're still connected. And I think that is the whole idea of it, you know? Yes. And the light shining above it. Right. Exactly. There's an extra, you know, it feels very much like they're covered in the light. But yeah, I think the Poet Artist album is like one of my favorites. Because I think, I mean, everyone, not everyone likes it, but a lot of people do like it. But I think Shining was such a good song.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:56 again it makes me so mad that was like the last single it was so good I really liked it cause he has a Jonghyun has a Jonghyun had a very distinct writing style and a very distinct visual artistry so they have the light shining have them touching cause we all know what happened contractually speaking you went to go see them separately as well some of the guys so it's nice to kind of see them back together and it's also really nice for them to

00:03:56 --> 00:04:21 have had the song in the vault. So it is also symbolic, and it does really feel like it's the right time. So it's very interesting. Yeah, I love the whole concept of it. You know, in terms of all the mourning, it feels like we're finally at a place, you know, that everyone can really just appreciate his contribution and celebrate his contribution. And there's no...

00:04:22 --> 00:04:37 I love that they never shy away from referencing him and kind of noting that he's always a part of the group. Yeah. So, yeah. So I love the cover, actually. Okay, so let's discuss the first song.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:57 On the single album The single The title track Is Poet Artist And it was written by Junghyun, Deez, and Yeonsoo And as we mentioned The title mirrors Junghyun's album Poet Artist And he had written the song For SHINee And the group thought That this was the perfect time To release it To celebrate Junghyun's contributions To the group

00:04:57 --> 00:05:23 And they did actually decide to keep his demo vocals on the track as well. So he does appear in the background vocals and the chorus, but he also sings the bridge. And it's all just kind of gibberish. Like he hadn't fully written it yet. He's just scatting along. And yeah, they decided to keep it in there. And the lyrics are about applying poetic license to everyday life. And they opened their Shiny World 7 concert with this song.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:40 Mm-hmm. So sentimental. I love it. What a moment. Yes, absolutely. I'm not going to lie to you. When I heard that I'm a poet artist, I heard that intro, I was thinking to myself, oh, I hope this is not the song. Oh, no.

00:05:40 --> 00:06:07 Because the tagline itself, listen, at this point, even though they're shiny, even though we know they have good music, SM's hold on the sound of their artist is very strong. And so I thought this was one of those, like, you know, songwriting camp situations because I've been busy and I didn't see who had written it. I did hear some murmurings of what was going on, but I didn't know the full extent. But to actually hear the full song,

00:06:07 --> 00:06:36 and actually hear everything that went into it and realize that the poet artist line is a tagline. It's meant to kind of just be something that's a reminder. Like he's still here. He's still here with us in some kind of way. I do appreciate it. I actually have it in my notes that I'm happy that this is one of the only few groups that does acknowledge lost members and uses a production and mentions them very courageously and very boldly, or just unabashedly says this person was a part of our group. And I think that,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 The song...

00:06:39 --> 00:07:08 is, it's so weird, because the way he wrote, it was very poetic, very, like, almost like trying to get lightning in a bottle and capture it. He's very zeitgeisty in his writing, because it's all about capturing how beautiful someone is in that moment. Like, wow, you looked so beautiful when I first met you, or like, you look like this when I saw you. Like, I've been waiting for you. Like, what took you so long to come here? Like, you're the only light I've ever seen, the flower that bloomed. It's always like this one moment, this one striking moment.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:26 And I was reading the lyrics. I was like, oh, my God, this is so romantic. If I heard this, I'd be like, oh, my God, he loves me. But yeah, I think that the lines of about a poet and artist articulating themselves and painting the pictures either through life or like with this person is very beautiful. Yeah.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:51 And SHINee does love songs so well. But with this one, it's actually not super sappy, which I appreciate. I'm so glad this wasn't some sad, you know, final song track. Like, it's big and bright and it sounds like SHINee, but it also sounds very refined. And you can, even if you did not hear Jung-yeon on the track, you can hear his writing style in the second verse. Like, there's just certain kind of things that he would do with his voice. I'm like, ugh.

00:07:51 --> 00:08:05 Oh my God. A whole song. So it feels even, yeah, totally. But the second verse for me, I was like, oh my God, he would have ate this whole part up. You know? There's just certain things that you can tell each member does personally in their own artistry, vocally.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:34 And you could tell things that Junghyun would do. And you can hear them kind of embodying it, but still maintaining their own style. I love the drums in this song. They sound so bouncy, but also very bassy and deep. It's not like they were like someone was beating a drum underwater, like very under the sea-esque. And it's also very future bass of it. Yes. Me saying under the sea doesn't mean it's like nautical. It just sounds like the way it was mixed, the way the, whatever they got the little sample drum from, it just sounds very like buoyant. Mm-hmm.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:58 It sounds modern, and I'm so glad it's not something that NCT or Rise would do or even could do, because they don't have a member that contributes like this. And now that I've heard the song, I love the tagline. I love the way they play on it in the bridge and in the harmonies before the breakdown or, quote, unquote, the breakdown. Ah, like that. The song is, I would say, good. Yeah.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:18 Yeah. Great. I'm not sure. I think I'll get to that point. But, like, it's good. I really do like it. Yeah. I mean, I think it's hard to separate, like, the motion behind it, right? Because I don't think anyone... They never told us that he had other songs in the vault, right? Yeah. For the groove. Yeah. And...

00:09:19 --> 00:09:33 I think, yeah, it came as such a nice surprise, I think. So just to have him contribute something new and have us hear something new, it's hard to separate that from the actual song itself, right? Yeah.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:49 But I do like the song. I don't think it's like their best song ever. I do like the song. But the melodies really are so signature Junghyun. It's kind of crazy. Like the structure of it all, the way he repeats some stuff, the way he...

00:09:49 --> 00:10:11 From my understanding, he uses the way the Korean words sound to play on that a lot. And even that tagline, you mentioned, Call me poet artist. Even just that ending artist. Yeah, that's so him. Where it goes into this vocal fry. He used to do that so much. He is. She is.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:30 Yeah, like it's so cool to like hear a song that feels like him. And hearing him in the chorus too, as well blended so well with the members. I'm really glad that they kept his vocal in there. And I love the gibberish bridge. Yeah. I love it. You know, it's always fun to hear an artist...

00:10:30 --> 00:10:58 you know, in the process, right? And, you know, he was known for his artistry. And so to have that actually ingrained in the final song, you know, because I remember when I was watching the video and, you know, I had the subtitles on so I could read the lyrics, but they just don't have anything during that part. And I was like, oh, is that like a respect thing? But then I was like, oh, wait, no, he's not actually singing anything. He's just, yeah, he's just scatting, which is cool. Yeah. And it's cool to hear him do that.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:28 And yeah, I agree with you. There's something super cool about the production as well. It's kind of metallic as well. Oh, yeah. But I think the way they did the vocal blend, it's so good. There's something so warm about it. But then there's also something like pensive about the way they're singing too. I don't know. I think it is a really cool song and it's just great to hear something new from it. It fits perfectly with like the last kind of, his last kind of.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:43 song his last kind of set of songs yeah and it kind of fits with the like story of us kind of era for shiny as well oh yeah it fits with good evening and and kind of that whole era yeah um yeah so what did you think of the music video

00:11:43 --> 00:12:00 Oh, the video is so cute. So it's really simple. And again, we all have seen what SM has done when they are tired of their own artists. SNSD, for example. I do appreciate that the video doesn't look like they phoned it in for them.

00:12:00 --> 00:12:23 um oh no yeah so i like the watercolor backdrop of on the sound stage with the water and then running through it um i think it's a beautiful way to tie in the meaning of the song but also it provided a universal backdrop for all the scenes so it's just it's one of those things where i don't know if the meaning is all the way there but put my little tin hat on oh it's not tin but i'm putting my little tin hat on a hat

00:12:23 --> 00:12:42 And I'm going to step out on a limb here and say like this universal backdrop represents all of them. They're in their solo shots. They're looking at their letters. They're all living in different parts of their life. But they can all stand together and still dance and perform together no matter what. Okay. Ugh. Done.

00:12:42 --> 00:13:04 Huge conspiracy. Oh, that's the theory. I'm joking. I thought you were going to go scene by scene just now. Listen, because I feel like you have some stuff too. And I want to hear what you have to say as well. But I think it's really nice that they have the letters as well. It's dressed too shiny. Yeah. Essentially, this was his song for them, right? So I always thought the letters were like him. Yeah.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:27 yeah and they kind of fly down you know they like fly down yeah and then they become confetti and they're gold they'll make me emotional yeah i think all the i i especially love the ending when they jump up and all reach up you don't actually see like the end of the jump it's just yeah it's so anime so anime endings um yeah yeah no i think it's really i love how dreamy it all is yeah um it's all very colorful um

00:13:27 --> 00:13:40 And again, it does have a kind of ethereal kind of vibe to it, which makes sense. I will say I don't understand the house. Oh, you know. And it falling down and all that. Hang on.

00:13:41 --> 00:14:03 So my theory is with the house, it's like, you know, it's our house, you know, kind of thing. Like you're all together in this one unit. And even if it all falls apart, you still have each other. Yeah. Like on the inside, there's still, you know. I like that. You know, a lot of things have happened to them. And people thought they weren't in work. People thought this was done. Like most groups don't survive that.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:24 It's true. You know, most groups don't survive contractual splits. They don't. 17 years is, that's forever in K-pop. Yeah. That is forever. And then, you know, so I think that's, I think that's a, maybe a testament to that. Because when, when the house was flooded with all the letters, then the confetti fell, that's when the walls fell down as well. So they're still covered. They're still, you know. Mm-hmm.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:54 supported by the fans, still watched over and, you know, illuminated by Junghyun as well. So I think there's a lot of like cute little symbolisms in that sense. Oh, yeah, that's awesome. Trying. So they did also perform this as the opening track of the Shiny World 7 concert. So right in the beginning, they're writing in the air. And there are some fans I saw speculating that they're like actually spelling out Junghyun's name. But I don't, could you tell?

00:14:54 --> 00:15:18 Okay, so here's the thing, right? I see their hand moving and I know, okay, the thing is called Shiny World SA. We have letters in the music video. Some of them are just moving their wrists, but like I could, from what I could see, I could see one of the members doing like a little j-yuk, like the J, and going down. And I saw ni-in, someone's doing a ni-in, which is the N, and that's Junghyun, the N. I see Onoo going down and then going to the right.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:40 everyone else is kind of hard to tell but yeah they're kind of scribbling yeah i kind of see him going down and making shapes so all right well so maybe members will talk about it at some point yeah that's that's cute if that is what's happening yeah um yeah and yeah i don't know if essay though really means anything because it's every stage shines around you or whatever i don't know if they were thinking writing with that one

00:15:40 --> 00:15:58 But yeah, the choreography, I think it's effective. You know, there's not like anything crazy in it. It's very kind of contemporary hip hop with a lot of the flowing and kind of the arms and kind of the stuff like that. I do love the moment in the chorus where they all jump and groove together, kind of the second half of it. That's just a fun moment.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:23 I do appreciate the bridge during Junghyun's bridge. It's a lot of them just kind of on their own, just kind of pulsating to the beat, however they feel it. And even when they come together into the line, it's still very loose and just very interpretive a little bit. Just kind of letting the music flow through you, kind of, and just pulsing to it. So I think that's cool. Yeah.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:32 And I think the chorus has some good kind of moments in it. There's nothing like extremely notable, I think, in the choreography. Did you notice anything?

00:16:32 --> 00:16:58 I didn't care for the little sway, sway, sway, head hold and rip apart. I didn't like that part. I was like, I guess, whatever. But everything else I thought was pretty decent. They did what they had to do with the choreography. Yeah. You know, it's fine. And I don't think the whole idea is like... It works. Yes, that's the thing. It works. Not that they're men of a certain age, but no, they're artists of a certain age. Okay.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:27 they don't have to sit here and you know do backflips anymore i think that that that's over no more everybody arm swinging unless they have to yeah you know um totally i think it's effective i think the thing with them that looks good is that they're very good at emoting while they're dancing it's not just like i learned this eight count yeah and i think that was the that's the point that matters like with good evening um yeah they got a lot of more contemporary exactly over the years yeah so it's just nicer to look at um

00:17:28 --> 00:17:49 Yeah, it's super smooth. It does what it needs to do. It keeps the video from looking very boring and static, you know? The performance is nice with the other dancers. And yeah, I think a lot of the popping is nice, too. Yeah. But yeah, nothing to really comment on, really. Because I think the song for me, I just was like, I'm sold. You know? Yeah, I know. I will say the band sounded...

00:17:49 --> 00:18:04 It's always been my dream to have SHINee have a full band for an entire concert. Not half a concert, the entire concert. And they finally did it. And it was amazing. Amazing. Okay, so taking all of this into account, what do you rate this song?

00:18:04 --> 00:18:23 I will give this song the 9.5. Almost a 10. But I'll give it a 9.5 because I like it where they are. I will go a 9. I do really like it. But I would say it's not in my top five shiny title tracks. It's really hard. Their discography is so strong.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:51 So yeah. It might change. We'll see. Oh, yes. It's only been out a day, people. It's only been out a day. Hilarious. Up next is Starlight, and this was done by Anthony Watts, Grant, Peter Fenn, Marty Rod, and Kang Eun-jong. And SHINee performed this song for the first time at the SHINee World 7 concert. And this song is about the exhilarating emotions of meeting somewhere new, like experiencing being illuminated by starlight in darkness. How romantic.

00:18:51 --> 00:19:17 oh i remember like this it's so cute you're like oh wow you me wow the stars of a line starlight yeah um i will say i really like the song shiny does this kind of chill feel good dance pop so well again it feels kind of like that story of us kind of era a little bit because you know they've kind of been doing some different stuff with like hard and don't call me these past few years yeah um

00:19:17 --> 00:19:36 But yeah, this is kind of what they're kind of known for. You know, this is very much their sound. Like there's really no other K-pop group that's really doing this like this. And this is a great addition to that list of songs. I love the production with the electric guitar emphasis. There's that whistle in the bridge that's fun.

00:19:36 --> 00:19:51 And the harmonies The vocal execution in this is so good It sounds so full And so warm Between the four of them And then individually too You get some really great vocal moments from all four

00:19:51 --> 00:20:13 Yeah. Like, especially Key. He has some really great ad libs. Best ad libs. Yeah. I was like, dang, you sound really good. So, yeah, I think this is a great addition to their discography. It feels mature. Yeah. It feels relaxed. It just is joyful. So as a B-side for this little single, I think it's very cool. So, yeah, I'm here for it. What do you think?

00:20:13 --> 00:20:38 Yeah, same. I feel like, God, they make me wish I was a part of a group just so I can justify having as many harmonies as they do in a song. Like, just because I'm like, hey, let's put some more harmonies in there. Why? Because we're a group. Like, these are the kind of songs I wish, like, some solo artists would do. Because unfortunately, here in America, no one does a lot of harmonies in the K-pop groups as well. But Chiny always. And...

00:20:38 --> 00:20:59 When I write my songs, I'm always like, oh, how can I make it more beefy? I think because we grew up with harmonies. I'm always like, how can I make it more beefy? So when I hear songs like this, I'm just like, oh, it makes no sense for me to be one person to have 12 part harmony. Dang it. You know, like, yeah, not 12 part. I'm being dramatic. But yeah, everything just sounds so good. It sounds mixed really well. Minnow's part, I think in the pre-hook, excuse me.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:17 Those parts were my favorite parts of the song. And the main parts without the chorus and the bridge to kind of amp it up. I feel like this song is very relaxing. Very laid back. Yeah. Sounds grown. It's perfect for a barbecue or like whatever version of a kickback that Koreans have. Yeah. You know, I feel like whatever kind of like...

00:21:17 --> 00:21:47 Electric slide. Yeah. A kimchi kickback. Shoot. Y'all be doing that. Shoot. Let's do it. But yeah, I think I have it in my nose that Keys AdLibs are delicious. Yeah. They're delicious. Yo. Really, I can never get over the fact that this group does not have a useless member. Like not a single one of them feels like extra fluff. No, they're perfect. It's a perfect group. Indeed. This was near the end of the concert. Again, sounds so good with the live band. Yeah.

00:21:47 --> 00:22:13 I will say the choreography, it's fine. They did lip sync this song. So most of them, they actually sang live. Like this show was actually a lot of live vocal. But I guess with the new songs, I've noticed with each Shiny World concert, they tend to lip sync some of the newer ones, at least the title tracks at least. Yeah. I guess because they just don't know it as well. Or maybe they just want it to sound perfect because it's like the first big performance of the song. Right. That makes sense. Yeah.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:31 Yeah, the choreography is very simple, you know, very simple grooves, really allows each person to just kind of vibe at how they feel it. So, yeah, it was a good performance in the show. And again, the band obviously elevated that. So, yeah, I like this song. I think it's going to be one that I listen to a lot.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:57 For sure. Yeah, I think it's kind of one of those things like with XO's Let Me In. Somehow it's just, you know, things like that. Yeah, exactly. So when SM allows the good R&B stuff to come through, it's always some good stuff, you know. Good pop track to come through. It's like one of these ones. So definitely like this one. I really do hate that they only have the two songs. But at this point, they're not an actual like...

00:22:57 --> 00:23:14 contractually obligated. So like, yeah. I will take what I can get. For real. So I think overall, this is a good two song. It didn't feel like they were like, well. Yeah. Wait, so what do you rate this one? Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, I give this one a nine.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:39 I also give it a nine. Yeah. Sorry about that, y'all. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I feel like the song, the songs for this album and even the cute little plushies, the fluffs, the fluffies. Yeah. They're so cute. There's five of the fluffs. Yeah. The song includes five of them. So in a way, I don't know what's going to happen after this. I feel like if this were the last song, not a bad way to stink and go.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:53 You know, if this is like the song that we have to wait five years until we hear another one. Not a bad song. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You know, I hope they're not done. I really do hope we get a concert out here in America. But I feel like SM is tired of spending money.

00:23:53 --> 00:24:20 on touring but hopefully maybe kind of sort of i don't know they came solo you saw them luckily i mean yes yeah i did get to meet taiman and onu actually so if you want to actually see my pictures with them and our little recaps of the show they are on our socials at cctv pops and i also wrote up reviews as well on our blog at cctv pops.com um yeah so

00:24:20 --> 00:24:38 I mean, he and Minho, they did say at the SN town in L.A., they were like, hopefully we want to do more as a group. And I feel like they're at the point now where they don't really need to lie about that. Which is true. I think it's clear that, I mean, even when Tae Min, especially Tae Min when he left.

00:24:38 --> 00:25:00 right before he left at those final shiny world six shows yeah he also kind of alluded to it was kind of like don't worry like yeah we're still here you know i think they're doing what they can to show that they're still together um you haven't watched the shows yet right we no i just watched later this week performances yeah yeah yeah but um

00:25:00 --> 00:25:26 Yeah. During the show, you could tell they were really enjoying it. And they enjoyed being together. Their chemistry is so good. So I definitely don't think it's the end at all. I think they seem pretty committed to keeping this group together. If that just means, you know, one concert a year, every time they have a reunion, or every time they have a debut anniversary, I mean. Fine. I'm fine with that. I'll take it. And I will fly to Korea at some point to see that.

00:25:26 --> 00:25:53 That would be a fun trip. I would love for them to obviously tour here. Yeah. But if that's what needs to happen, I'll do that and get some, you know, facials and stuff. And, you know, I love the solo stuff too. So I'm going to support all four of them. You know, I feel like they've all really found their individual lanes with the solo stuff. And Taemin and Onu's shows were so good. Yeah. They were such good shows. Very different shows. Yes. So I'm here for just...

00:25:53 --> 00:26:16 I'm just happy being a fan. Like, I'm going to be honest. I think back when, I think we said it in the 101, like you were like, ooh, I don't know how much more they'll want to do as a four. Yeah. But it seems like now, I think the grieving, they're at a point with the grieving where they are kind of, you know, everyone's very content and happy to celebrate him and they're not scared to keep going. Yeah.

00:26:16 --> 00:26:29 So yeah, I'm here for it. I will support them whatever they do. Absolutely. Like a true Shaol should. Yes. I wish I had my lights up. Unless the music suddenly turns to crap, but I don't think that will happen here. No.
