i liked this video so much, it was so well done and tbh i love all his eras lol, but also i'm hating how rushed everything feels about this release, the teasers were dropped today and the cb is next week, i'm going to pre order today but i truly hope he gets the promo he deserves, SHINee proved people are interested in them and DCM charted well and is having a good run and is the SM song by idol groups with the best run (Only Kyhyun's song is getting better digital points and View is getting digital points again!) so i'm so mad at SM, as usual.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

tbh. at this point i'm just used to it. sm have been hot-and-cold about how they've promoted shinee for years, both group and solo releases. like don't get me started on the press it vs. she is promotional drama of 2k16 (where she is was on the lesser side of promo), or how sm dropped the ball on promoting odd the day it was released to the point where k-shawols put down money for a promotional BLIMP. and this is entirely different from how badly sm promotes their veteran artists in general. i guess i've just resigned to the fact that, for as long as shinee exists and is active, it's going to be one disappointment after another, re: sm lmao

but it's just so unfair, SM literally hasn't charted well lately besides Taeyeon and SHINee lmao (and the song Kyuhun released) , NCT didn't chart well last year (and Dream is doing good so far but they can't rely on fandom streaming like what happened with Baekhyun ) , Baekhyun did good at first but then it dropped (I guess for the lack of promo too), and Wendy who i expected to chart well didn't do that great either, SHINee proved the people are interested in them but i'm just so frustated with this, literally a week before the cb

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

oh, trust me. i know it's unfair. i'm just used to it and tired of getting upset about it. it's true that dcm did very well and that it'll end up winning, like... one award potentially during year end shows which is more than shinee has won in years, but sm is just going to... continue being sm.

i did notice that atlantis fell off the charts very quickly - in a similar manner to how 1of1 and such did and i am a little worried that it'll lead sm to not putting as much push into future releases. i'm honestly fully convinced that sm only gave dcm the extra push that they did because of lsm's weird fixation on the track, lol.

[ohmylol.livejournal.com]

yeah, they have sold almost 400k with repackage and in digitals they did very good , it was a huge success but they didn't got what they deserved for Atlantis and IMO Atlantis is the better song and could have done better with the right promo, but idk, SHINee still sells and the Beyond Live of the group and Taemin's was so successful too so I hope they get what they deserve next time

Also seeing View on charts again is so great and i love the vindication lol

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

same. i just hope that sm is willing to give them what they deserve still when taemin is finished with enlistment. with how everything is panning on, their next comeback won't be possible for two years - in alignment with their 15th anniversary basically (which i still figure was the plan in taemin enlisting around this time rather than holding off for another year like he could have). because okmt ever leaving sm as a whole isn't a thing that'll happen (or that shawols should wish for because there's a lot of layers and complications to that scenario) so all we can do is just... hope, lol.

oh yeah. i wish it would've risen higher, but it rising at all is still worth it.

I squealed when this video played during the concert. The old songs! That bowl cut wig! He really didn't change that much except getting less skinny and more muscular.

this popping up in the show was so great. I love that they used so much of Jonghyun's parts as well.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

yes!! i noticed that they did too.

[ginger-star.livejournal.com]

SM is trying to break me, I see. idk how to go for so long without Taemin in kpop D:

I'm fucking DYING at him in the bowl cut wig lol Ah that debut era hair <3

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

The way I just smiled all the way through this video.

I feel like people still post concept photos from Want in a way they really don't for Taemin's other albums, even NGDA lol

[dull-and-wicked.livejournal.com]

the bowl cut wig for the early shinee tracks put a huge smile on my face, during the concert and when i rewatched it just now.

now that SM's put this VCR on youtube i'm (barely) hoping that they'll release the just me and you vcr in HD too but i'm not getting my hopes up because they kept it under wraps for so long and too many people want it lol

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

it's getting uploaded! or should be. taemin mentioned during his vlive yesterday that it's coming in the next week.
