Exclusive from SBS KPOP YT Channel
Raiden : They completely broke the prejudice against idol music.
Kim Hyung Suk : A team that's growing up tremendously.
Key : Actually, we're not sure when was the peak of our time to be honest.
"SHINee always has the question mark, and an exclamation mark with the result. Grown already, but going above and beyond. Kpop has grown in size, but someone needs to move forward this much, I think that'll be SHINee" - Kim Hyung Suk
------
Listening to SHINee talk about their music with Kim Hyung Suk & Raiden, this group goes beyond what we call "cliche".
There are a lot of musicians, idol groups, soloist who thinks that "Kpop" or being an "artist" is a one stop shop then you'll go big. Well, it is one of our dreams right? May it be for a celebrity or just a normal person but at the end if the day you'll question yourself "is there more to it?" & for an artist, "is there something more or something new to show?".
SHINee is known to being the "unconventional" one in Kpop. They don't follow certain genre. They don't follow the norms. They do what they wanted to do in accordance to their own uniqueness. Their own style. Their own trademark.
There is this thing called the "7 year curse" in Kpop. And being an idol group for 13 years who went through such a painful point in their lives, they still have it. Every time their is something unconventional yet new. Not being in "trend" but becoming a trend.
They've tried every genre there is, and for me they are making their own genre or staple now. Even from their start, they are a group who doesn't follow the trends and yet they've proven and accomplished so much both as a a group and individually.
For this group, it is not always the awards garnered or the charts for this group, but being able to show the uniqueness of SHINee. I believe that it takes hard work that goes beyond those numbers. And to able to last long in such a cutthroat industry, it takes real talent, and musicality & not just popularity to stay relevant in this kind of industry.
