In SHINee's "Lucifer" MV the "smoke" or "light trail" you see is supposed to represent the aura of a girl who has devilish powers like Lucifer, who is trying to possess them and take over their lives. As the English lines in the song say, "Loveaholic, robotronic ... her whisper is the Lucifer." (They are using auto tune because they are supposed to be "robotronic"-ly controlled by the girl who is "The Lucifer." So the auto tune is meant to make them sound robotic.) In other words, the woman or girl they are talking about is so desirable that she is like Lucifer and you have to use all your willpower just to resist her wiles.
In the MV you see them trying to fight against Lucifer's powers and resist her attempts to try to make them bend to her will, etc. That's why in the choreography you see all the robotic moves because they are showing how "Lucifer" is trying to control them like a robot. For example, they put their wrists together like they are being handcuffed to show how she is trapping them, and they vibrate to show how they are being manipulated by "Lucifer" and they are trying to resist her powers, etc. (FYI: That vibration you saw them do is 100% them actually shaking like that, there aren't any camera tricks. If you pay attention when they perform Lucifer live, you will see them do that exact same thing. :D)
LOL we have no idea why they had to be dancing in front of a sports car, but that was kind of an iconic thing that Kpop companies did back then in a lot of their MVs, The group would dance around a fancy car to show off their coolness and to give the video a more futuristic, expensive looking aesthetic.
"Lucifer" was released in 2010, so this was just the look that a lot of MVs had back then, in part because everyone was following SHINee's lead. Just take a look at TVXQ's, Super Junior's, Infinite's or 2PM's MVs, etc. from around that time and you will see a similar look and style. SHINee was setting trends in the industry with 'Lucifer."
As trendsetters it is SHINee's job to introduce the next song style and dance trend to the industry, and when SHINee has a comeback the industry takes note and follows suit. It is said that within 3 months of SHINee's comeback you will see that same sound, style and dance trend being duplicated across the industry for both boy groups and girl groups. That's how influential SHINee is.
I'm not sure why people are often so thrown by their hairstyles and outfits in this MV. :D I think they are actually all pretty cool for doing something different that sets them apart from everyone else in the industry. That is what makes SHINee legends and why "Lucifer" is such an iconic song and dance.You're not going to remember a group or a song if they look and sound the same as everyone else, you remember them for standing out and not being afraid to be unique.
SHINee are also known for never being afraid to experiment with everything they do, including their style, and as the fashionista and stylist of the group, Key is always looking for ways to be unique, so his head was really shaved on the one side. What you see is his hair was bleached blond on the side and then shaved down to his scalp. He is known for always being unique and wanting to stand out. That's why Key's style is often just straddling the edge of outrageous, but somehow always manages to look cool.
Fun fact: I think one reason why Minho's hair is so short at this time is because their previous comeback was with their song "Ring Ding Dong," and all the members had pretty long, shaggy hairstyles. However, Minho has never liked having long hair. So, I think for "Lucifer" Minho decided to rebel and go really short.
This was also the era where Taemin had long hair and it made him one of the most popular of the members at the time, especially with their Japanese fans. The Japanese culture really embraces men with long hair and the members said that he was one of the most popular at the time because of his style. Taemin with long hair is so iconic and many in the fandom were really sad when he eventually cut his hair.
So, in this MV, Taemin had just turned 17. Onew and Jonghyun are 20 and Key and Minho are 18.
With SHINee's experimental concept, nothing they do will ever be like anything they have ever done before and that includes all the songs on each album. Every song and MV will be completely different from each other with a whole different, look and style every time. Whenever SHINee releases something new, the only thing we expect is that it will be a brand new sound, look and dance style that we have never seen before. That's why their discography is so diverse and why they are able to continue to stay relevant even after more than 14 years.
"Lucifer" is actually known as one of the most difficult songs and dances to cover because of its tutting and popping and for the fact that it has a very fast paced beat with dance moves that are very sharp and precise which are designed to hit every beat of the song. And the song itself is very complicated with the songs wide range of notes and flow.
Many amateurs have thought "Lucifer" looks like one of SHINee's more simple songs and dances. But the minute they try to sing the song and/or dance the choreography, they soon discover that it is way more complicated than they thought. It only looks and sounds simple, because SHINee makes it look that way. Check out this clip of SHINee teaching a group of actors and comedians "Lucifer" as part of a challenge on the variety show "Invincible Baseball Team," czcams.com/video/0V02cQwYLMQ/video.html. It's funny because when they came to meet SHINee to start the practice, Jonghyun asked them why they chose this song of all songs, and they said because it looks manly and they thought it was fairly easy to cover. But the first thing Jonghyun said to them, while laughing, was "oh no, actually it's one of our more difficult choreography and it took us extra time to really perfect it." :D
If you like the choreography, you definitely should check out the dance practice. SHINee's "Lucifer" dance practice was the very first dance practice video ever released specifically for fans. SHINee is the group that started the trend and their "Lucifer" dance practice video is why dance practice videos are even a thing today. :D It was the very first dance practice video to go viral. Back then dance practice videos were filmed for the group and artists to watch to help them remember the moves and to fix mistakes, etc. They weren't intended for a mass audience. But SM realized that fans were starting to try and copy SHINee's choreography, so they decided to film a dance practice and release it to the public. SHINee's dance practice videos became so popular that other companies and groups started to do the same and show off their choreography by releasing dance practices too.
Man, SHINee harmony is like electricity coursing through your whole body
Oh check out the dance practice, with everything dance detail more u can see how iconi this choreographed is.. fact: this dance practice was the ever first release from a group… these boys were setting the bars from debut singing live always n just been incredible talented!!!!!🎉😊
One of the first songs to get me into Kpop! Thanks for hitting Shinee again! I have many groups I stan, can't wait for you to also get to NCT and Red Velvet! Honestly, every group under SM is Stan Worthy!!!! So much great music!!
Everybody live Tokyo Dome 🔥🔥🔥
2nd Gen Kpop hair was a beast on its own. All those hairs, it was something else lol. And I was obsessed lol.
SMTOWN, 12 years ago, 26 mil views for the dance practice mv, Blue Sky in the background. The first-time a dance practice video was posted.
(Also MCND :p lol) when you can haha
The live for this at their concert was even more dope!!!!!!!!!!!! Stable soothing vocals even with killing this choreo
Definitely check out the SHINee Lucifer dance practice. It's the one that popularized releasing dance practices in kpop. It's basically a rite of passage for new kpop fans and Babywols!

♥️
Please react to the iconic live stage of Everybody (from Tokyo Dome) 🔥
I had to laugh when you mentioned the dance practice because the DP for this song is the one we’ve been telling you about from the start-it is what kickstarted dance practices being popular. Besides being at the iconic SM cloud-backed practice room, there’s Taemin’s iconic trippy t-shirt and the toilet paper marker. LOL.
Lucifer was the first time SHINee was given significant input into the creative direction of their album, from music to styling. Obviously, they did well-they helped change the public’s perception of idols and brought KPOP even further into the global market. In fact, it charted on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart for 57 weeks.
Another fun fact about “Lucifer” - it was played during a fight scene in the 13th episode of the third season of the TV series Lucifer: czcams.com/video/-LDFcq49YFQ/video.html (a cut of the scene). SHINee also performed the choreo under water for a VCR played during their SWC5: czcams.com/video/WqeBAagm9_8/video.html .
Big Shinee fan…my top 4 kpop groups..EXO..Monsta X..Shinee and Super M!
High standard 😁👍🏼
I absolutely love your reactions to 5hinee. Thank you so much for your hard work. I look forward to your next 5hinee reaction. FYI about me. For me, 5hinee is the only K-Pop group that matters to me and the only group I will, cheer for, follow, buy merch for, pull my wallet out for etc. I do not care about anything or anyone else in the K-Pop world unless they are connected to 5hinee (SuperM) I mean, why would I go looking else where when I have already found the best. I have tried to find others to listen to and although there are great groups, singers, dancers, and so on, NONE have come close to these beautiful, talented young men.
Must watch The dance practice version❤😊
I almost died when I learned why Key cut his hair that way. He wanted to see if he could pull off the look of Supreme Kai from Dragon Ball Z. Safe to say he rocked it.
My first SHINee and first k-pop song
SHINee
I’ll always remember when this MV dropped. I was overseas in a little village teaching for the summer and trying to stream this MV with my crappy wifi. I was so shocked by the hairstyles at the time but now they are iconic ❤
I felt like it's been ages 🤧 I've been craving for a new reaction. Thank you so much!!! I'll dig in right away!
Welcome to SHINee World. You're now officially a Shawol! 💙💙💎💙💙. Always five!
Lucifer live, please!
Primero, gracias por tus reacciones a SHINee y sus miembros, segundo Francia, y tercero ojalá reacciones a sus baladas.
❤💎🇨🇱
BTW, for the future since it seems you love Daft Punk and acapella you should have a look at PENTATONIX "Daft Punk" not kpop, but world's best Grammy award winning acapella group. Their "Daft Punk" will 100% blow your mind!
Oh I'm hip to Pentatonix! Been following since the sing off!
To show you the influence of Shinee.. Don't know if you watched Lucifer on Netflix.. but this is 100% in the show
