Yoon Gun: “Shinee’s Lucifer is like a clothes line.”

[xkat-attackx.livejournal.com]

 

 

Yesterday, Yoon Gun (of R&B duo Brown Eyes) revealed an interesting sentiment about idol group Shinee’s recent single, “Lucifer“. He wrote, “These days Shinee’s ‘Lucifer’ has been constantly buzzing in my head. The melody is really like a clothes line.”
 

The singer is reported to be resting right now, and just recently began tweeting with his newly found time. His comment is receiving a lot of attention from netizens, but I’m wondering if any of them have ideas on what he means by “clothes line.” What do you readers think it means?

[ruggio.livejournal.com]

like a pulley clothesline you dry clothes on?

[quietreveries.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming that lol

[gekkonorondo.livejournal.com]

Does he mean like... their style is like a line of clothes? @____@;;

[clroo.livejournal.com]

clothes line: means he thinks the melody is only one one note, so its straight like a clothes line, which is true tho. LOL I TOTALLY READ YOOGEUN IN THE TITLE im such a fail...

[clroo.livejournal.com]

*melody is ON one note
but seriously, he used a clothesline as an analogy?

[episkia.livejournal.com]

... well i was going to say OF COURSE SHINEE MAKES CLOTHES LOOK HOT
but uh that's not what he meant at all o_o

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

I thought it said Yoogeun and I was like "Oh, whatevs, he's like 3, cute metaphor, even though it doesn't make sense."

But it's a grown man.

[law-oneofmany.livejournal.com]

i did too, and i thought i completely understood
but now my confusion matches everyone elses

A clothes line is where you hang your clothes out to dry...and when you do that, everybody can see your clothes. So maybe he's saying that Lucifer is the type of song that everybody sees all the time and it's so common now that people can copy the moves now and the words? It hangs there, fluttering about in the wind like a little butterfly stuck on a branch.

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

ignore that last thing about the butterfly that made no sense.

but, okay, so a clothes line also conserves energy. Your using air to to dry it, something natural...so maybe he's saying that the melody of Lucifer is natural???

that made less sense than my first theory. FML

[annanuna.livejournal.com]

I think the meaning about clothes line is positive...I think he means that he changes his clothes line often just like he listens to Lucifer often

[hardcorxsooshee.livejournal.com]

maybe...the signature lucifer move looks like a clothesline? idk bc their arms form a line sort of thing and their bodies could be the clothes XD

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

that was the first thing I thought.

[xkat-attackx.livejournal.com]

"taemin would be a training bra since he probably owns a few"

LOL irl.

[wishunew.livejournal.com]

So I read this, and thought about the wrestling move called the close line, lol.
Idk where my brain went, but i guess Lucifer kinda knocks you down? perhaps??
lol idek

[peachywink.livejournal.com]

Dose he mean clothes line like what you dry your laundry on if your to broke to own a dryer or did he mean to say clothing line like a designers fall collection? OR did he mean the tackle move where you hit someone in the neck with your arm?
In all cases I have no freakin clue what he actually means.

[last-thread.livejournal.com]

the first one, lol.

Less clothesline, more of this plz

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

maybe he meant something like a 'hook' but phail translaters are phail?

[platinumpair.livejournal.com]

I read that as Yoogeun and was expecting to see the pictures of him getting a perm.

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

he got a perm?

Someone on allkpop was suggesting it should have been translated as "laundry line", which is apparently a giant washing machine/assembly line combination - because it's automated and it just keeps going (and gets stuck in your head), and some of the choreography is reminiscent of robotic motion.

i still think monks chanting is the most accurate, lol
