when i say that shinee is five, i mean that they’re the outlier. shinee has been able to achieve so much as a group both because they got lucky to be teamed together and because they’re all so incredibly honest, humble, goal-oriented, sympathetic, practical and optimistic. idc if it’s a manufactured thing. i couldn’t care less that shinee itself may just be a brand that ot5 is promoting, because the message it communicates is of overwhelming positivity. what i see is 5 people boosting each other’s careers, overcoming their differences, and strengthening each other with their unique talents. not to mention that when shinee are together, there is no avoiding how they all care deeply about each other. shinee is the definition of strength in numbers. i’ll always remember back to jonghyun saying that the ace and base designs looked similar because they were inherently tied to each other, like neither taemin nor him cared to separate their group work from their solo work. not to say that a group mentality is better than an individualistic one, but that that’s just how shinee works.
