we stan a vocalist.

His singing feels like he is telling a story, and MV itself represents things which he goes through till now. SHINee is 5 diamonds, and in the end, they become one, the brightest diamond ever 💎💎💎

Video Analysis: (The blind folded people:) Everyone has their own perception of you of how they see you, your family, your significant other, or his fans. But they don't see him and judge him for who he really is. They see him through a blindfold, so they never see the true him, just what they want to see or who he presents to them (The shooting star + Reflection: ) The shooting star is most likely himself and who he presents to the world, in the beginning of the music video their is only one shooting star crystal but 5 different reflections, meaning that even though their is only one of him he always presents different personas of himself but never his true self. At the end of the video when he puts the shooting star in front of the mirror their is no reflection, meaning that he's accepting and wanting to show his true self. Alternatively you can read it as the five shinee members all being separate people but in the end when their is just one shooting star we understand that shinee is one and is strongest shining as one. (The Rose:) The flower itself is in tact but there are noticeable petals that have died underneath. Also it is all encased in a glass box. symbolizing fragility and life and how even though there are dead petals their is new life in the strong white rose. (The color White:) White symbolizes purity illumination and new beginnings. We see this color on the Rose, the clouds, the fish, the people, on Onew himself (The Fish in the balloon:) Correct me if I'm wrong but those fish look like white halfmoon betta fish known to be aggressive when with another fish. They fight for dominance. This could mean that even though they look calm, the two sides of himself are constantly fighting each other, one appearing more than the other. They are also fragile though as the home that they know and live in could pop at any second, showing how unstable this lifestyle constantly battling yourself is. (The water:) Water symbolizes purity and a source of life, renewal and transformation. Just before he grabs the shooting star it becomes one single shooting star in the reflection he drips water from his hands meaning he himself is having an internal transformation. (The rundown house:) In dreams a house can symbolize yourself so a rundown house symbolizes that you aren't taking care of yourself. For Onew he is focusing so much on his outer appearance as Onew and how he needs to present himself in public in front of fans family talkshows that he's neglecting himself and who he is. (The lyrics:) Overall I think he is saying their is beauty in being alone and taking sometime for yourself but at the same time being alone for too long can feel sad as you self reflect and start to nitpick and judge all the parts your unsatisfied with about yourself. Their is solace in separating yourself from other to know who you truly are but a sense of sadness when you look at yourself and don't know who you are because you spend so much time being someone for other people that when no one's there its hard to understand who you are. It's like the two sides of coin, being alone can be good but it also has its down sides but overall its calming and comforting. Anways this is just a shawol trying to analyze lol! let me know what you guys think! I"m so happy for Onew!! and Shinee! ANd my ONKEY feels are dying because they both had back to back debuts so I'm living!! haha! love the MV so much!

2025, this was recommended to me. Thank you KZbin for reminding of this beautiful piece of art.

It’s incredible how every member of SHINee has his own color...totally different from each other...then, when they perform like SHINee they become in a wonderful harmony like no other group...

Onew be like: Let me remind y'all what I do for a living.

I wanna share my story here about what recently happened to me. I was a few days ago at a medical center in the waiting area, playing SM super Star Onew’s blue, I made sure the sound was low, but this old lady next heard it and once I finished she told me this in spanish: “ What a beautiful song that was, what a beautiful voice that boy has, could you play it again? “ I was speechless I of course played the song once again for her. Its beautiful how music can transcend any language barrier we may have. You only need to feel and let that message transmit, Jinki DID THAT. 💗

콘서트에서 이 노래듣는데 노래에 담긴 외로움과 고통이 처연하고 아름다워서 눈물이 났어.. 라이브 들은 순간을 오래기억할께

I think that nowadays, people are really into more pop music and dance music but fail to appreciate simplistic, slow, calming music with just a simple piano and other beautiful classical instruments, sang with such emotion. Onew deserves so much recognition for this masterpiece, as do the another Shinee members as well for their solo songs ,especially since they have gone through SO much over the 10 years. LOVE YOU JINKI! GREAT JOB FROM OUR AMAZING LEADER

I don't know what else to say. This is just plain beautiful. He could promote this song just by standing and singing in the middle of the stage that I would still see it as one of the best performances ever. I just want to hear his voice and his emotion through this song LIVE.

We dont need million views We dont need to be trending We dont need to be in no 1 in music chart (no2 is enough tho heheh) Onew and his *voice* is enough to capture our souls and be no1 in our hearts

뭔가 온유의 딥하고 어둡고 우울한 부분을 본 느낌....케이팝이라기 보단 뮤지컬 같다

I like how diverse the concepts of different SHINee members but they are united in diversity. Edit: Wow thank you for the likes, Shawols and non-Shawols. Indeed, we stan a very talented group ❤️

나 온유 좋아하네.........

Shawols let's increase the viws for "Blue" as a gift for Onew. My ult bias is coming back soon

no one talks about this Album enough.

I am shawol's mom. I guess my daughter was watching this I am overwhelmed. She follows amazing people

Shawols!! Let's get to 3M!!!!

I am really stunned .I feel like i have never heard a song like this ever in anywhere let alone in kpop.What has Lee Jinki done. I am totally shocked.

I need a live full performance of this song

*Onew's voice is Unique. Nobody can replace him*

I was very shook SHINee has very different vocal from any other boy group . Like they have some chemistry in their voice Very unique . Love it

My take on the symbolism in the video- The first shot is a reverse take where we see the weathered things turn back to their old selves. Onew wakes up in this house. It probably represents that this is where he belongs. The diamond in all clarity reflects SHINee as a whole. The five mirrors are for each member. We can also see that the diamond is quite clear. Next up onew takes the diamond and goes outside. It represents how he, as the leader holds responsibility for the whole group. The blindfolded people show how he was judged blindly when he was falsely accused in the sexual assault case. And it shows how it's just two people and then it goes up to four and once again there's a group of people shown looking at him through blindfolded eyes. It symbolises how the public failed to see the whole picture. Also the increasing people shows the increased hate he got from outside and his own fandom. Then he sees himself all alone on the horizon. It shows how lonely he felt with all the people judging him blindly. But then the other self disappears and onew finds his own hands drenched in water and then he turns around to see these giant human figures staring down at him. It shows how small and overwhelmed he felt surrounded by all the hate and wrong perception of the public towards him. In the end we have the shooting star collide with the diamond. It shows how Jjong left a part of himself and how his light will always shine through SHINee. Onew looks at the diamond and then looks at the small house he woke up in. This means that he realised that he needs to go back to where he belongs and bring the diamond back to its original place hence carry on with SHINee. When he enters the house, it's quite messy which shows all the troubles SHINee went through as a group. But the diamond now shines even brighter and he places it back in its original place. Also one of the mirrors is really foggy ( Jjong) and cannot reflect back the diamond. This shows how the mirror is still a part of the set up but it's unable to reflect the diamond anymore. Which possibly shows how Jjong is there in spirit if not physically for us to see. It's just what I think that the video represents it can mean something else too but there's surely references of Jjong and SHINee. Also the clouds reflect purple AND pearl aqua colour.

I’m still here. This is art and i hope in the future Onew can sing this live with an orchestra

I almost forgot just how great of a singer Onew is. I mean.. just listen... his voice... the emotions... every move he makes.. every thing is so on point!

I love that 90% of the reactions that I've seen, the youtubers were all silent. Like it was disrespectful to talk over while Onew was singing.

I don’t listen to this song as often as I should, because there’s something so sad in this melody, so heartbreaking in Jinki’s voice that it brings tears to my eyes every time. But sometimes there are days like today, when I miss him so much that even crying is better then not listening to his angelic voice. Jinki, please, come back quickly.

Such ballads and slow Songs will remain. They will remain much longer then the smash-hits. Because this soft Songs calm down and comfort the soul and that's what humans need the most ...

아이유의 팔레트 보고 명품 목소리 제대로 듣고싶어서 왔습니다..

Onew's vocal is so underrated, SM should have make his solo debut long time ago.

Who else got goosebumps listening to the whole song?? My god Edit: This is the most likes I've ever gotten on a single comment.. thank you 306 people

❤❤❤❤ 노래 너무 잘 부르네요

The way Onew expresses his emotions while singing is truly unique, which no artist can replicate. Jonghyun would be proud

We are waiting leader *2020 SHINee 's back*

Am I the only one that sees something so special in Onew, that not a lot have? It seems like he learned the experience of life and understand himself and the world well. He is strong, because he is mature enough to learn from his problems and grow with it. It’s hard to explain, but I feel like he is an old soul. I feel like I could have deep conversations about life and he will be empathetic enough to understand it all. Update : Wow! 300 likes? Thank you!! I’m so thankful that all of you understand what I say! We are such a great community of MVPs for our Onew. You all deserve peace, love and happiness. Keep reaching your goals & dreams and be kind to yourself :) love u all

onewさん横浜コンサートでこの歌が聴けたこと凄く嬉しかったです✨VOICEは今でも大好きなAlbumです❤ ありがとう❤

I feel bad because the people didn't recognize this masterpiece.

Who else is watching this because the song is so great and not because of the views??? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

I don't know the meaning of the lyrics as of now but I'm still soo... _touched_ for some reason. *Onews impact*

BEST VOICE OF THE WHOLE INDUSTRY.

2021년에는 진기노래 많이 들을 수 있는 해가 됐으면 좋겠어! 진기 노래부르는 거 진짜 많이 보고싶어!

뮤지컬 넘버 듣는 것 같다. 진짜 온유 목소리는... 뭐라 표현을 못하겠네 암튼 좋다

if you have extra time, please listen to his voice album, it’s really good 😩 (mostly ballad) it’s not your ordinary kpop songs that is edm rnb pop etc. it’s good to listen in a calm environment and rainy weather. that album is so specialto him and shawols. so i truly recommend

I agree when IU said Onew has the best voice in Kpop

listening to jinki’s album is my everyday ritual

King of sad Ballads.

Wow, his voice is so powerful! I am so proud to be a Shawol. Onew, I love you, SHINee, I love you.

No matter how much I watch the MV and listen to the song, I am always amazed every single time by the Vocal, Voice, philosophical deep look and personal history, mysticism... this is really a Masterpiece!

Did anyone notice, in the beginning there were five reflections of the jewel, but in the end there is no reflection....there is only the single jewel....I think...the five reflections show all five members...and finally the shining jewel is our beloved Jonghyun

JINKI IS BACK 🎉🎉🎉🎊

SHINee is a LEGEND. ONEW is a LEGEND. TAEMIN is a LEGEND. JONGHYUN is a LEGEND. MINHO is a LEGEND. KEY is a LEGEND. 💎💎💎💎💎

볼때마다 마음이 아림. 난 네가 행복했으면 좋겠어. 아주 잔잔하고 평온한 하루하루를 보냈으면 항상 바라고 있어. 힘든 날도 있겠지만 그래도 웃는 날이 조금 더 많았으면 좋겠다.

Onew is an effortlessly amazing singer. He doesn't have to scream, doesn't need to put all his power, just sings calmly, coolly, easily, it always turns out good. Only a few singers have this quality. But for this song I feel he does put his best, all efforts he has, like never before, as if it's his last time singing. It's just like what he said "a gift" for his fans, he prepared it carefully, thoughtfully, and it came out so beautiful. Thank you, uri leader onew. 😊😘

아직도 이노래 라이브를 본적이없다니 스엠 너무한거아녀

Our beautiful boy ❤️😪 jonghyun would be so proud 🙏

온유는 언제 들어도 음색이 미쳤다🐰🩵

Blue Night , that's Jonghyun's radio . Missing him so deeply .SHINee is really the best vocalist boysband in century. This is Lee Jinki's true VOICE 💙💙💙💙💙

Suitable song for kdrama series..

Onew has a unique voice and he has his own style of singing.

입덕해서 블루 처음들었을때 요즘 나오는 가요들에서 찾기 힘든 창법이나 곡 스타일이라 많이 생소하고 왜 이런 침침한(?)곡을...ㅋㅋㅋ 타이틀로 했을까 의문이었는데 그냥 너무 좋다 온유야 ㅜㅜ 뮤지컬영상들을 봐서 그런가 너무 귓고막 시원시원하고 처절하고 막 그럼.. 왜이러케 잘불러 취향까지 뒤집어버리는 너란사람

ONEW is one of those idols in kpop from whom I always desperately wanted a solo album and my dream came true,his voice is so unbelievably beautiful,honestly one of the best vocalists in kpop ever❤

팔레트가 쏘아올린 공ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ자꾸 찾아보는 개미지옥,,,,,,

I love Taemin's Japanese songs. I love Key's electronics. And this romantic Onew album was what I expected. Loving too much! Blue is painfully pretty.

onewさんソロデビュー6年目　おめでとうございます❤voiceとは私にとってまさにonewさんの声　🎤歌そのものです❤　全曲大好きで、癒やし曲です。出会えてよかった❤

I dont see an idol here. Pure prefossional artistic work from an artist. Setting solo debut bars at a very high level. Congratulations onew

뭐랄까... 케이팝보다는 뮤지컬 넘버같은 웅장함이다...

I'm amazed of how the Onew tells this story. The shating star, the people, the home, looking up to the skies. It seems to me that when you feel so small, there's a home you can shield on and someone is giving a light to the lonely heart.

세상 가장 좋은 블루 💙💙💙💙💙

This is for Jonghyun. The "blue night" referring to Jonghyun radio show. The shooting star, was the same as the pear aqua moon, the night Jonghyun died.

I just discover him now while watching Descendants of the Sun. And now I’m loving his voice and his group too :)

After five or more times watching, here’s my impression on the symbolism embedded in the video: Three fish: his band mates, whom he cares for and watches after. One white rose, preserved forever in a crystal case, on what looks like ashes: Jonghyun’s soul after leaving this world. The figure he sees in the distance: himself. He is brought to face himself. Perhaps that’s what makes him discover the “joy in loneliness “, as the lyrics say. The couple, the family, the people in blindfold: society, not seeing him and his true self. Then judging him, making him feel small. The blue light comes to him to break this delusion and reveal to him and everyone the truth: Shinee must go on. He comes back home, returns the blue stone to its rightful place, and follows the light’s trajectory with his ever watchful eye. The eye of the one chosen to protect Shinee. 💙💙💙💙💙 I’m sure there are so many more symbols (the water, the thunder, his sleeves)... but I guess I’ll leave it at that.

His voice, just his voice, can make me cry

Onew’s voice touches the parts of you that you didn’t even know existed. It’s pure and forgiving.

이 앨범 전곡이 레전드임ㅋㅋ

THIS is ART.

Musically this song is mastepiece, one of the best ballads I've ever heard in K-Pop like I'm almost crying how Jinki can convey the emotion through his operatic ballad song even I dunno what Jinki sings because I can't speak Korean.

아형 끝사랑에서 시작해서 팔레트 넘어갔다가 여기까지왔다..... 온유 노래 부른거 왜 이렇게 없냐.... 스엠 일 안하냐?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 목소리 개좋누..... 왜 이제 알았누......

This song is really ART .

Happy birthday, Lee Jinki 🎂🎊🎊 #TODAY_IS_ONEWDAY

팔레트보고 왔는데 노래 머선일.. 온유 목소리랑 노래랑 미치게 좋네 ㅠㅠ

I will miss your voice, I will miss your smile, I will miss your sangtae moments, I will miss your goofy and humble personality, I will miss your unexpected updates on instagram, I will miss your presence with the other SHINee members and I just will miss everything about you. Serve well and stay healthy, Jinki. You did amazing well. I am proud of you, leader. All these songs will serve its purpose for I will be needing comfort from you until you can come back. I will wait for you till then. 💙💙💙💙💙

This is a beautiful song and if the translations I read were correct this is about the duality of emotions. This is a difficult concept to understand especially when hard times come upon us that we can feel joy at the same time we are in the midst of the pain. If we can embrace all our emotions then the fear will not engulf us. Emotions like anger, fear and sadness are not bad and like joy and happiness help us make sense of why and how we are to travel in this life. I didn't understand the duality of emotions until I was in my 50s when I separated from my ex husband and then my mom passed away soon after. One day when I had a happy moment I realized that happiness and sadness can coexist at the same time. This feeling of two emotions inside me lightened my burden. For someone who has had chronic depression on and off my whole it was blessing to come to this realization. I"m glad that Onew understands this at an early age because it will serve him well. Thank you Onew.

Just listening again and again. Can't help it. Thank you so much. Unique voice and interpretation.

This is a masterpiece that needs to be seen by the world. Jinki bogoshipda.

Its been so long since I've heard Onew sing like this.... Absolutely soul touching.

This song sounds like a great historical drama ost!😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Happy birthday jinki! ♡

Talented artistry should not be measured by how many views it has, how many fans it garners, how high it charts. It should be appreciated by those who understands the true meaning and feels impacted by it.

One of the most amazing voices in Korea, for real. I'm so happy they finally gave him a solo. Such a great singer and human being. Love from Mexico, always supporting SHINee.

the fact that we still don't have a live performance of this feels like a crime against nature :(

Happy birthday onew!

The most beautiful voice in kpop..........actually not just kpop.....

WE HAVE BEEN WAITINH FOR THIS SOLO DEBUT SO U GUYS BETTER NOT LET THIS FLOP On the side note, *i've been listening to jinki's voice for almost 8 years and it still doesn't fail to amaze me how beautiful his voice is*

You're a diamond, dear. They can't break you💙

wow jinki voice topped 1 in itunes 20 countries worldwide itunes charts. congratulations.

Did anyone receive extreme chills from this music video?! Definitely exceeded my expectations!!!

All the dislikes are from the people who cried so hard that their tears accidentally hit the dislike button

Happy birthday to VOICE!

You have work hard for this past few years as a leader, a member, a friend, a big brother. We will waiting for your return, make sure you eat and sleep well. Im pretty sure your Shawol will take care of the rest of members while you are not with them. Your dongsaengs will do well to make you and group name proud and keep on shining

This man has most beautiful smile in this world.
