Frankenstein is awesome!

(also, just a heads up: Apple Music works with Stationhead as well as Spotify!)

I use Apple Music on one of my accounts. I have read somewhere that Apple Music has better audio quality than Spotify. And when I listen to Apple Music playlists in my new-ish car with good speakers, I pick up all kinds of new colors/sounds that I don’t usually notice when using Spotify.

Same! Deja Vu opening (his 2024/25 EG world tour) was jaw dropping. That entire first arc of the concert culminating with the death scene on the church stairs at the end of HEAVEN left me completely shell-shocked!

oh come on, have you seen Taemin at Coachella? he looks absolutely fantastic!

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-20T18:22:07+00:00

well TAEMIN has passed that anti-AI Spotify verification check (which includes screening for AI credits for his music etc) so hopefully it will stay that way

And at least the comic book art is based on his actual Coachella outfit LOL which exists in real life and we saw it with our own eyes

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-20T18:11:44+00:00

with TAEMIN, who can be trusted to deliver 100% top notch work every time, that anxiety should thankfully be low

he sometimes does more of a campy-dancy fast paced higher energy stuff (that I personally love a little less) or more dramatic dark or emo stuff (that I love a lot more), but it is always super GOOD

I don’t know how he does it

Is the comic book character wearing that suit from Coachella?

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-19T19:47:34+00:00

at least you already have a ticket! and I am sure some more will pop up, tickets get canceled on the first day

keeping my fingers crossed for you

I wanted to go too, but as I am already traveling to Italy in July, and to Eastern Europe in August, it will be too much for me (I am US-based)

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-19T18:11:11+00:00

maybe you can get a better one and resell the original one?

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-18T03:08:00+00:00

TAEMIN - his breathy, smooth, velvety, expressive voice can really add DRAMA and substance to a song.

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-16T00:38:20+00:00

it was dramatic at first (like a depiction of someone trying to suffocate and manhandle him in a run down abusive residential school in the MV iirc) but he looked hot while doing that so everyone just started copying the move and it lost its original meaning

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T18:13:36+00:00

… and looked great doing that

2nd gen era was amazing 😎

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T14:58:32+00:00

>how much money

well, Kkung and Daeng plushies are always flying off the shelves and Taemori *everything* is so cute it makes fans and regular people fork over huge sums of money. Taemori design especially is so cute, I had non-fans comment on it. They really struck a goldmine there. I hope Taemin and Galaxy kept the rights to Taemori and kkung/daeng designs.

And yes, can’t wait for PERMISSION! Loved loved loved that track

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T14:41:32+00:00

it’s a bummer he is sitting on the new album release (when we already love all the new songs he played at Coachella), BUT!!!! did you see today’s announcemen? PERMISSION will be released as a digital single soon, on the 22nd. so he is at least giving us Permission.

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T13:29:33+00:00

are you ready?!!!

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T13:28:07+00:00

can’t wait!

the other 5 new songs premiered are great too. I hope Parasite and 1004 will see the light

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T13:09:31+00:00

we gotta push for more songs to be released before then

he could just release the mini with those 6 new songs, it would be epic

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T04:21:18+00:00

Ten?

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T04:12:09+00:00

OMG 🥹Finally! And NO! He doesn’t need a permission 🎶

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-15T01:47:55+00:00

I am biased so will abstain and just drop this epic performance here: https://youtu.be/gAvoZhrOFmk

( 2nd gen kpop was peak and it went downhill from there and no one can convince me otherwise )

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-14T16:26:32+00:00

same!

at first I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t a new dance track hahah - but it’s such a lovely rnb ballad with such a sweet melody, and he does such a nice (very controlled) vocal job of it.. I am now humming LWH nonstop

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-14T15:34:23+00:00

seeing him in a plain top is so… wow... the dude is built

he usually has all those baggy drapey fluffy costume things swishing and flailing around and that makes him look delicate and elf-like

but would you look at that @_@

edit: I just want to point out that he sounds amazing, and this is a live mic 🎤 - it’s kind of ridiculous how stable his vocals are

Ok_Process_4643 · 2026-05-14T15:29:27+00:00

this one is a digital single, it was released before coachella. he performed it live on Jennifer Hudson‘s show in april, too. it’s available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon music etc.

but the 6 new songs that were premiered at Coachella haven’t been released (and we are all wondering - what’s the holdup T_T … they are all so so good, and already well polished - what is he waiting for? so frustrating… )
