That's really cool ! thanks for the backround story !

Oooooo that makes sense

Can't believe some of us have to keep defending SHINee from the most cynical projections at a moment like this. (edit: typo) The usual antis love to smear SHINee with AI-related fake news, sure. Why wouldn't they? Even so-called fans also think the worst of Jonghyun's four eternal brothers. Fact: people are upset about Jonghyun AI but they ignore Jonghyun AI covers of Don't Call Me erasing the singing, creativity and soul of Onew Key Minho Taemin! We should be equally upset about techno necromancers using Jonghyun voice scrap to erase SHINee members! Yet? Crickets about the brothers being erased! Erased by the voice scrap of a brother they miss! The cruelty of it!!!!!! Crickets about the holy moly fakes stepping on OKMT to play Jonghyun's most qualified torchbearers!!! Some "fans" were fast to spread fake news accusing Taemin of "declaring his voice is free for ai exploitation". WOW. Then everyone played deaf when Taemin gently and artfully declared his actual position about ai (he is NOT for ai). DUH. Then everyone ignored Key making their stand very clear: he used the word LICENSE. As if he even needed to say it. Then everyone just casually forget Minho's deafening emotional vents and Onew's PTSD survival! Who are these "fans" who keep saying "OKMT grabbed J's solo song to glorify themselves"? Who are these "fans" who vote up zero empathy comments "OMG so glad OKMT didn't forget their brother!" Who are these "fans" who think the worst of Onew Key Minho Taemin ------- when they are trying to HEAL US in a most selfless gesture??? Like, seriously. If we don't even listen to them before jumping into the worst conclusion If we can't even stand up for our most thoughtful member when he is accused of thoughtlessness if we can't stand up for the ones who are standing strong in front of us why pretend we care about the one who's not here? Those who truly love SHINee, love the SHINee that made this masterpiece possible. So, yes, enjoy Jonghyun, Taemin, Onew, Key, Minho's masterpiece.

tysm!

yeah,there was a news before that it's not ai, it's more because this song is drafted since before jonghyun passed away

We're so blessed to still have SHINee around, let alone to have a new song by & with Jjong 🥺😭💙

ikr! It *sounds* like a Jonghyun song the whole way through. His sound was so unique. I love that they did this.

Спасибо Шайни, это то, чего мне не хватало! Люблю вас! 5hinee навсегда!💙💙💙💙💙

@@lbow5479what was his sound like how would you describe this? Synth?

Yes!! It makes me proud and happy that he created his signature sound and that years later we can all recognize it. That's 100% a true artist

Thank you !!! I wasn’t the only thing I’m not going crazy

Omg, I was thinking the same exact thing

I thought i was going crazy too T.T now i'm just crying

I felt like I was hallucinating his voice in this song until I saw the comments

It was such a nostalgia slap hearing all 5 together in a new song The moment I noticed, my eyes got watery 🥹🫶💎✨

When I first heard about the new song that would feature his vocals, I actually got so nervous they were gonna AI him into it. I am so so relieved to learn it's his actual voice! It's so special

Masterpiece ❤

@@ArtByCiel I'm sure he had lots of songs written that were never released so I wouldn't be shocked if there are more songs with the vocal guide included like this one.

I cried so hard, words can't describe the emotion I have for this group, they've always been so special to me ❤

AI covers using unauthorized voice timbre of famous voices are disrespectful enough. I also want to point out a common misunderstanding about Jonghyun AI covers: they are not even Jonghyun's singing nor AI singer singing. They are very poorly extracted Jonghyun timbre (think about the timbre like a low quality face filter) overlayed on top of Taemin, Key, Onew, Minho's singing. It is beyond disrespectful. Why would any fan plaster Jonghyun's face on Taemin's face and say "look everybody, Jonghyun is dancing Taemin's part". It is not Jonghyun dancing or singing, it is Taemin's (or Key or Onew or Minho) facez and singing performancez being ripped off and replaced by a crude face/voice filter of Jonghyun. Every "Jonghyun" AI cover is not just an insult to Jonghyun's vocal specificity, it is extreme dehumanization of his surviving brothers. I'm relatively new to SHINee but (because I'm a trained audio professional) I can hear the stark difference between their unique singing technique, breathing, vibrato, head tone etc. Professionals like me don't call those nasty rip-offs "AI covers". We know AI is not doing the covers. We know even with high quality timbre extraction, no AI singers involved here. The original singers are STILL performing the singing underneath the timbre overlay. Even some musicians don't understand AI voice swap tech, so understandably some fans just can't tell "Jonghyun's MOVE cover" is still Taemin (ghost)singing, with a Jonghyun face mask filter stitched onto Taemin's face, figuratively speaking. Yes, indeed, it is heartless in every sense of the word. The core issue here is not even the technolgy, but the utter lack of basic respect for all singers involved. What kind of "fans" would turn Taemin/Key/Onew/Minho into Jonghyun's ghost singers without their permission - then call living persons Taemin, Onew, Key, Minho "AI"? Seriously. Are these living breathing emotional singers not living persons? Never mind the art, where is the humanity?

Hello, what does that part of the song say?

​@@camilaibague2854 It's just scatting. No lyrics completed at the time he wrote this song. In order to leave his voice, they remain this uncompleated part as it is❤

ty for this. I am new fan and was not aware that part was JH. But i did notice the uniqueness of that part.

@@marinal.welcome to Shinee World baby Shawol! Jonghyun had an incredibly powerful, emotional voice. We lost him 8 years ago. This is the first time we get to hear him in “new” music. If you’d like to hear more of him, just head back to the beginning with the greatest debut song in the history of kpop - Replay …and move your way forward. ❤

Exactly. So special. The fact that it was just scating or not even an officially recorded part but still made it to the song shows just how much of master vocalist Jonghyun was.

❤

I feel soo happyy...❤❤❤

i am so happy for u all

❤❤

종현아❤

Спасибо! Почему корейцы не оценивают своих!

I'm your 1000 like💚

A kpophelp Reddit post asked "What kpop groups have a genuine friendship amongst all members?" A Shawol responded "SHINee. Bonded for life by love and loss and pain and mutual-dissing-joys and their marriage to the music." Kpop Reddit agreed in unison, a rare thing on that platform lol. As I always say... have faith! SHINee's group soul is self-evident!

IKR!!! 😍

❤❤❤❤❤

Best post! My thoughts exactly!!!!

Thank you

​@@annatoscano9775Dziękuję 🇵🇱❤️💎

the fact they used his demo vocals shows you what an amazing singer he is/was!!

😊😊😊😊😊

😊😊😊😊😊😊

​@p090r4glq it wasn't a solo song, he wrote the song for SHINee and had recorded the guiding vocals, that would have been for the members, prior to his passing. The song just is SHINee, its very obviously been written for the group. And anyway, I think Jonghyun would be so happy to see both his members happy being able to perform a song including all 5 of them and and his fans so appreciative of being able to hear his voice again, his life was his music at the end of the day.

Ikr. I just came to say it. But you said it already. Not to mention all those letters from the sky. Jjong oppa is always there

I couldn't have said it better than you. Thanks for literally speaking my mind💎

Can you please explain where you hear jonghyun's vibe and melody? I like this song, but for me there is just his voice, it doesn't seem "jonghyun coded" to me, and I know all his solo songs and most of the songs he wrote and made for shinee and other artists (iu, exo etc.) I just cant find jonghyun refereces i know he wrote it but im talking about vibe 🤍

Totally agree with you! 💙💎 I'm still in disbelief 🥺

@minimoni9897 I’m not sure what exactly Jonghyun’s vibe is, but when I played this song, I thought, "ah, this is the vibe of old SHINee" the kind of sound and vibe that made me fall in love with them 14 years ago.

최애 부분 ㅠㅜㅜㅜ

can i ask where his voice is and how? i’m confused 😢

@@eswynplantagenet44831:19 you can hear him with onew, and 2:30 the bridge is him too!

​​​@@eswynplantagenet4483 0:56 1:18 like someone else here said 1:44 1:57 2:31 - The big one 2:50 2:58 Edit: Bonus part is actually exclusively on SWC VIII, and I'm assuming for the future SWCs. They started with Jonghyun's solo chorus line "Call me Poet Artist", before performing Poet | Artist as normally shown like the MV. If you're interested, check some of the fancams uploaded on YT.

@@moshimic5628 thanks for mentioning the fancams!! do you know if they're going to promote the songs or if they're only performing it for swc viii?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@pikachubread There isn’t really much information about SHINee promoting in a way of making a comeback for this song and Starlight, at least to my knowledge. Although, their social media platforms do actively promote Poet | Artist, until the release of this MV. I feel like there may be more restrictions, since they now always have to get under a contract, just for the 4 of them to be together in activities like this. I hope they do promote it more and maybe even have a comeback stage, even if it’s just once or twice.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Well said!

❤

Exactly!!!

🙂♥️

Yup!! ❤❤❤

No one feels Jonghyun's musical and emotional soul more than the four of them, so I just flow with them and I like what I'm feeling.

Now pay for my therapy 😭

ㅠㅠ

Well said! There isn't and never will be another Jonghyun.

One of the greatest gifts ever yet how come it costs so much to type out the names of the actual gift givers?

​@@iwannabreakfree Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean?

Exactly, didn't realize how much I missed his compositions, until his voice came on. The heavy use of a groovy bass beat is so him!

It also helps that current music production trends have cycled back to styles and compositions that were popular a decade ago

⁠​⁠​⁠@pumpkinpie-w2t id say its a tribute simply because not with us anymore. i guess a co-optation would be the case if you think of it as ONLY that, but releasing an album / song on an anniversary for your lost friend, written and inspired by that friend is exactly what a tribute is. if you think it’s void of respect or gratitude then thats the only way we could argue otherwise and that to me would be a very out of touch reach on shinees part.

​@pumpkinpie-w2tYou're very busy under comments. While you are free to your opinion, in my opinion your's comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of SHINee, their relationship with their and their relationship with each other. The fact that you make it a point to single out Taemin in particularly is telling since it seems to completely overlook how much support he got from Jonghyun throughout the years before his solo debut and after. It's not unreasonable to say he was Taemin's biggest supporter. There are a lot of things I could pick at in your comments and I could also share my own though on why Jonghyun parts seem less over the years but I suspect your suspicions are so deep and you're so blinded by SME's mistreatment of Jonghyun's legacy that it would be pointless. It is unfortunate though that you cannot see the beauty or sincerity of SHINee heart towards Jonghyun. I have no doubt they have missed singing and harmonizing with him more then even how much we as fans miss hearing him sing with them.

​@pumpkinpie-w2tOfc you would assume SHINee haven't tried that when they themselves are extremely close to Jonghyun family and frequently involved with his charity 🙄

​@@fatalblueHonestly that Debbie downer isn't worth wasting time on. They saw how happy we all were to have something new from Jonghyun in 2025 and had to bring the mood down. Hence them basically replying to any higher up comments.

Pumpkinpie and chanderlierdragon = the same person who hates on OKMT and their resentment of Taemin is deafening, this character really wants to see us mireable and they ain't getting their energy vampiring from me lol

SOBBING

True. ✨💎💎💎💎💎✨

Yessss and there are many other references in the comeback too!

lol my thought too

@@chiaravlaeminck7840 the aluminum foil on the house is literally jjongs one photoshoot background from the poet | artist photobook its so brilliant, shinee are family 🌟

I was so happy

yes i thought the same 😀😀😀

yess that would be incredible

jonghyun wrote and composed this song.

Jonghyun is the only person credited as the composor and lyricist, so all of it is him 🥹

@@SHINee

@pumpkinpie-w2t Yes, I think it was going to be one of the songs of his last album Poet/Artist, I watched yesterday the Behind the scenes when Onew, Key, Taemin and Minho recorded their voices over Jonghyun's demo, they even mention while trying to reach his high notes how he made this song in a way only he could sing it. I think I get what you mean, maybe not, but they actually try their best to reach Jonghyun's level, and that is when reality hits so hard: he was in another level, he was a genius. I would like they release Jonghyun's original. Also, they should release that forbidden MV which was apparently too sexy or something like that and never saw the light.

ugh listened again he is the BEST!!!!! and the way the other boys leaned into his style for this piece AND to make it a single omg they really are the most special boys

He was definitely a talented genius, wil always be.♥️
