As I told you, I had something more to say about the "Shinin'" MV, but in this post I will mostly focus on other clips.
The video starts with the discoball turning slowly and reflecting blue and red lights while the music starts playing.
The mentioned scene is kind of hypnotic.
In the lyrics Jonghyun describes this hypnotic state the following way:
Shinin’ shinin’, your eyes
Are shining
(...)
No matter how much I look, my hands and feet won’t listen
I think I’m going blind
Oh girl down
Oh come in come in, come in, come around me
The moment we met eyes, my body
My arms, legs and body froze girl
(Jonghyun is not able to to anything - he is frozen, or as i said before his hands are tied, maybe due to MK-Ultra, but maybe also due to threatening)
(...)
Oh somebody call me but
I don’t wanna leave
My place is right next to you
(Jonghyun being in a state where he wants to get out on the one side, but is staying because of the influence of the elite or not to lose his fame)
We’re like Geminis oh girl
Can’t hide it baby come in
Always be with you you you you you you
(Baby come in)
Always be with you you you you you you
Baby come in be with you you you you you you
(Baby come in)
Always be with you (yeah yeah)
Hold me tighter (yeah yeah)
(...)
An aura is around your white skin
Even if I go blind, I wanna go closer, I don’t know
(...)
Oh slowly
show yourself to me (show yourself)
(Jonghyun trying to find out more about the truth OR doing anything in for his success, not minding the consequences)
Feels like you’re the only one on this earth (the Elite ruling the world)
It’s only you who walks, only you (you you)
Oh get to know me slowly
(...)
All of you is so dazzling
Everything you touch (Creation of the flashy music industry through the elite?)
You’re brightly shining yeah (don’t be shy)
Getting to know you is so amazing
You’re shining on me even more
When your eyes are on me, I shine more (The elite giving fame to the idols/ celebrities)
(...)
As some of you have already said, there is a connection to Red Velvet's "Bad Boy":
Ooh mmm
Ooh mmm
Hey
Who dat who dat who dat boy (Woo)
Caught my eye out of all these people (Ah ha)
(An idol being chosen by the elite)
That blank face, I like that
(Jjongs expression while being observed (as he wasn't aware of anything happening behind the scenes (predebut?)- I posted it before))
Provoking my curiosity (Ah ha ah ha)
Oh your style is chic
Your outfit’s like you tried but you didn’t
(But you didn’t)
The way you talk like you don’t care, I like that
(...)
You know, I’m pretty hot these days
So you can feel all the eyes on me (Ooh oh)
Like you’re bewitched, follow me
(Idols under MK-Ultra/ doing anything for fame)
Everyone cheers and you will too soon, ooh ooh
You can act like you’re not, ooh ooh
(Maybe Jonghyun didn't want to play along with their plans (any more))
Wanna make a bet?
Don’t come too easily
That’s no fun, stay right there, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
(Jonghyun being targeted)
Let me play some games, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
I’ll start, bad boy down
(...and the consequence is his death)
Whoa whoa
From now on, bad boy down
Whoa whoa
Come here for a sec, I have something to tell you
Come closer, put your head down to match my height
Don’t care too much about other things
Only focus on my voice
The situation is changing (Woo)
(from idol to blood sacrifice)
Now I’m curious about you
You’ll know soon (What is this?) You’ll know (Tell me)
That it’s already too late (Yeah)
(Jonghyun becoming aware of their plans (either to kill him or something he shouldn't find out and that's why he was killed))
Yeah, I’m actually pretty confident (Right)
I don’t play a losing game, ha ah ah
You’re already halfway fallen for me (Oh~)
Like you’re bewitched, follow me (Follow me)
Everyone cheers (Everyone cheers)
and you will too soon, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
You can act like you’re not, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
Wanna make a bet?
Don’t come too easily
That’s no fun, stay right there, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
Let me play some games, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
I’ll start, bad boy down (Down)
I’m sure you’re confused, you can’t even imagine
You can try to escape but there’s not a single crack to go through
(Jonghyun has no possibility to flee - just as in the MV (I will talk about it later))
The answer is already there, just follow me naturally
(Just follow me)
I chose you,
I already chose you
Like you’re bewitched, follow me (Ooh)
Everyone cheers, I told you, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
The result is always the same, ooh ooh (Ooh) (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
See? I won again
(Jonghyun being killed just like many other stars/idols before him)
Don’t come too easily (Don’t come easily)
That’s no fun, now you, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
Can’t escape, ooh ooh (Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh)
It’s too easy, bad boy down
And both lyrics reminded me of SHINee's "Lucifer":
Even if I try to avoid you,
I can’t find a place to hide
I can’t even deny you
I’m trapped by you
(Again - no possibility for the Idols to flee from the Elite's (demonic) influence)
(...)
Freely empty yourself and look at me
(The lyris here sound like a dialogue between the singer and the " whisper").
I’ll fill you onlyh
I’ll completely fill you only
Your undeniable spell is the Lucifer
Your undeniable magic is the Lucifer
(...)
As if someone was tightly
Seizing my heart, not letting it go (still)
You took all, all, all, all, all, all
Of my heart just like that
(...)

Loverholic Robotronic
(...)
Only stare at me, you want me
More, more, more, more, more, more
Only look at me, you’re the center of
everything, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing
(...)
The people I knew left my side
(isolating and traumatizing the idols during trainee days to make them easy to manipulate)
One by one
All I have is you
(...)
I feel like I’ve become
A clown trapped in a glass castle
I dance for you who
Will never be satisfied
(idols as the elite's puppets)
You look into me openly, touching my brain
(MK-Ultra),
I think I’ve become a fool
I think I’m only getting more and more
Attracted to you
(...)
Your stare captures me
As the days went by, it became sharper
I’m tired of your obsession
I’ve been cut a lot, my heart is bleeding
When it’s about time for me to pass out (A planned murder?),
she comes to me like an angel, saying “I love you” (SM artists public mournig/ SM's official statements/ tribute)
(...)
You look into me openly, touching my brain
I think I’ve become a fool
Leave me alone, don’t make me sick of you
(...)
It can’t grow anymore

Your undeniable spell is the Lucifer...
In the lyrics of all three songs we can see how the elite wants things to work - they want the idols to blindly do everything they are told in order to push their ideas. This is how the idols come to fame. Just like Jonghyun said: "When your eyes are on me, I shine more". There is no way out for them - they have to stay and to be quiet about anything shady happening behind the scenes.
When they are not willing to play along, know too much or get chosen for another reason they get sacrificed/ killed.
Just look at Jonghyun in his "Crazy" MV: he is trapped in the net of a giant spider. Jonghyun desperatly tries to break free, but gives up in the end and only waits to get eaten. In his "Inspiraion" MV he was tied to a big X (looking as if he was executed) and in his "Let me out" live performance his hands and feet where chained to a chair (which I have mentioned before). The title indicates that Jonghyun tried to break free. However, Jonghyun was not successful and was killed in the end (RV: "See? I won again").
("Let me out": The spotlight behind him looks like the iris of an eye...)
("Crazy")
In another post I have already mentioned that they ALWAYS made Jonghyun to cover his mouth - I have not seen it on another idol that often:
Does anyone of you guys know what the mouth-covering means? It is often used by stars (korean and international). Jonghyun used it repeatetly (sometimes in combination with the one-eye symbolism).

And and as the "X" was mentioned before:
View attachment 3417View attachment 3420View attachment 3418
(Jonghyun was also chained up in his last "Let me out" live performance.)
In his "Inspiration" MV the whole situation is coming to a head as the words "be quiet" are projected on his body - thus, it made me think that Jonghyun might have really known something/ too much. Remember, it was the time when Jonghyun was often connected with the letter "X" and shown with a target laser point on his chest (the picture was uploaded in my last post). It is like they where trying to threaten him not to say anything or else he would be killed.
The MV was never published by SM even though it was announced in December 2016. SM never really give about statement about it.
Still you can find a version of it, as it was shown on one of Jonghyun's concerts (as a VCR).
Furthermore, in the video some kind of strange ritualisic dance is performed (with Jonghyun in the centre).
The masks these guys (the ones who perform the ritual) are wearing reminds me of Taemin during his "Move" promotions:
(Inspiration)
(Move).
As we are already talking about Move -
look at the quote next to Taemin:
"The artist of tomorrow will go underground". This quote appears quite often in the MV. And Jonghyun's last album is called "Poet I Artist"... - SM was very likely involved in Jonghyuns death. Taemin, SuJu, RV, and Jonghyun himself predicted it. In BoA's MV we also see clear connections. There is no way all this is a coincidence.
However, back to the "Inspiration" clip.The dance they perform (at 0:40) is very similar to the one Jonghyun did in his "Let me out" live performance. The dancers (in Let me out) are bowing over Jonghyun and imitate his breathing until they stop - meaning that he dies.
In the Inspiration clip also the word "strife" is projected onto him - possibly meaning he got into a conflict with the elites... I suppose this might really be a reason for his death. Also chinese signs are projected on him, but unfortunately I can't translate/ understand them.
I'm sorry that the post became so long... Somehow I lost my focus while typing it. Next time I will definitely talk about "Shinin" again.
