SHINee’s Taemin Had Fans Putting On Their Detective Hats After Recreating A Moment From “Replay”
On January 17, SHINee‘s Taemin not only took fans down memory lane but he also had everyone putting on their detective caps all because of a single selca!
Although it may not be #ThrowbackThursday, Taemin decided to give fans a blast from the past by replaying a moment from SHINee’s “Replay” dance practice. In his post, Taemin perfectly recreated the moment he checked the camera in their dance practice video even down to the camera angle and his iconic “mushroom” hair!
Although the photo was captioned with the words, “Replay 2020“, the photo was so spot on that, many Shawols were sure the photo really was from their “Replay” era at first! Soon, however, fans spotted some things that just didn’t add up, like the fact that those shoes only started being released in 2010!
Wow shawols are smart @taemlover found that the shoes got released in 2010 so it's not a 2008 pic! This so this is legit 2020 taemin… LOL
I swear i saw something in his face expression but that was fun taemi pic.twitter.com/fXb2FMBr1r— tomy (@2M9T6) January 17, 2020
Learning the photo really was taken in 2020, however, raised even more questions and pretty soon Shawols were wondering why Taemin decided to post the photo now of all times, especially since the original release date of “Replay” was in May 2008, not January!
Pretty soon Shawols were putting on their detective caps and trying to piece together what they knew. Some fans have been guessing that it’s Taemin’s way of showing excitement about his hyungs returning from the military as Minho, Key, and Onew are all set to complete their military duties in 2020.

Taemin said 2020 replay so you know what that means right? We streaming replay all 2020 while SIMULTANEOUSLY preparing for the year SHINee returns

Other fans, however, think that this might be a clue about Taemin’s upcoming solo comeback and have been finding more evidence that his comeback may have a more nostalgic feel to it.
TAEMIN WHAT DO YOU MEAN 2020 REPLAY?
Hold on is this why the SHINee account keeps tweeting old videos?
Is Taemin’s comeback concept going to be throwbacks? pic.twitter.com/V9XCAjDCLb— ⌖태민’s Danielle 🌸💎 (@_pearlaquamoon) January 17, 2020
Come to think of it, the The Call's project in which Taemin joined called "Retro" and he & BewhY used Pinocchio theme which is Retro in "memories" kind of way.
SHINee account shared Taemin's The Call moments today too.
What if Taemin is making a Retro MV/VCR using Replay memory? pic.twitter.com/2rfCLRyupP— 21tan❄🌸💎 (@MxMtan21) January 17, 2020
Or perhaps, Taemin has even been planning this post for a very long time! Detective Shawols realized that if you take the date Taemin posted the photo and subtract the day “Replay” was released you get the code for Pearl Aqua, SHINee’s official color!
OKAY SO TODAY IS 20200117 AND REPLAY RELEASE DAY IS 2008 MAY 23RD WHICH IS 20080523 AND IF YOU DO THIS MATH
20200117 – 20080523 = 119594#119594 IS THE CODE OF PEARL AQUA, SHINEE COLOUR!!!!!
OKAY TAEMIN MATHEMATIC GOD I SEE YOU!!!!!#TAEMIN #SHINee

While the mystery is still out on the post, one thing every fan does know with absolute certainty is that Taemin truly blessed us all!
