  1. This is even worse than the current one for Jaejoong

    How, when there are SO SO SO many insanely gorgeous pictures of this man, did we end up with this nonsense. Like seriously. All of the top 3 badges for Jaejoong were like??? Sabotage

  2. It's the angle, more frequently than others I see people commenting he looks like the combination of JR and Taeyong.

    Lemme find more pics of his, I cannot really choose because I'm not familiar with Taeyong and Jaejoong

    I'm glad everyone hates this - how did this even get accepted?? He looks super whitewashed and the image is overexposed

  4. Didn't the boys say on Blue Night they struggled to pick a title and when it came down to View being the title, they all agreed that even that was a bit off for them and they weren't totally satisfied? I'm glad they got the control, and obviously they ended up loving it as they said, and don't get me wrong I love View too. BUT, I just feel like there was a lot of flukes in 2015 for them. So, taking my opinions on the music out of the equation, you've got pretty much the whole MTTM era like you said, you've got the View MV being delayed for what, two days? You've got their comeback coming unannounced (this can be a blessing in disguise considering Taemin's situation, but you know), they only got very few solo teasers each, no OT5 promotion outside music shows at all, no variety shows, and other small things here and there like Woof Woof, outfits, performances, all subjective things that only nit-pick certain people. I still love them, but personally I feel like last year was kind of all over the place.

     

    Now again, don't get me wrong, I get what SM's goal is. They've been scandal free for YEARS, they're SM's only original line-up, they're essentially SM's most senior active boy group now SJ is probably going to fizzle out after last year and their sales are high enough for them to remain relevant, they're still acclaimed critically for their talent and musicianship and Taemin and Jonghyun establishing themselves as soloists is going to do more good than harm to the group. They're not in the same position that EXO are, where SM knows every album is a milking opportunity. Having SHINee be their "golden boys" who come back every 1.5-2 years with an album is fine, it gives the boys freedom to want to stick around and treasure the exclusivity of a group comeback. But under this logic and following the pattern of SHINee's comebacks, we've only got a handful of them left as is. And in my opinion, I personally don't want them to be treated the way Odd/2015 has been.

     

     

    I mean you can always choose to focus on the negatives, especially with how comebacks and promotions are handled it's super difficult for any group to achieve something that 100% of fans will be happy with. I personally thought the Odd album/View was great and it was about as successful as I expected. MTTM was sadly hidden away, and there are many other things that you've said that I could agree with. But idk, as I look back on the year I like to look at things a little more positively. I loved their album/repackage/concepts, and I think a lot of other fans did too. The boys worked really hard for us this year, and that's how I choose to look at 2015 instead of at everything that could have been. 

     

     

    yeah, ia. i feel satisfied as a fan with both "odd" / "mttm" as an album and repackage, and though there are things that i wish were done a little differently (mostly linked to sm and their lack of promotion for both comebacks), i wouldn't change much of anything. in the end of it all, odd was an acclaimed album that did just as well as their past releases and, at the end of the year, the boys looked genuinely happy to me. i get the impression that they were happy with how things went this year and that's all i can ask for as a fan. 

     

    Even if View wasn't a song that they agreed on 100%, it was something that was well-received for the most part. 2015 was a good year for SHINee, even if it wasn't as incredibly strong as 2013 was. 2013 was extraordinary, by any standards. I'm not sure if something like that will ever happen again, and even though 2015 wasn't on that level it was still satisfying. MTTM was incredible, and the MV was something to be proud of even if it didn't get the same recognition that View did. There were better songs than View on the album for sure, but overall it was something that Jonghyun for sure really put a lot of effort into and it was nice to see them promoting and being active with a Korean comeback for the first time in well over a year
