"Everybody" on YouTube

"Everybody" is a K-pop song of the complextro-dubstep music genre performed by the South Korean boy group Shinee. Written by Cho Yoon-kyung,[4] two versions of "Everybody" exist: the original Korean-language version, which served as the lead single for the group's fifth Korean EP Everybody (2013), and a Japanese-language version, which was one of the three tracks featured on their ninth Japanese single "3 2 1" (2013).[5] The Korean version of "Everybody" was made available for download on October 14, 2013, under the record label of SM Entertainment.[6]

Music video

The music video was released on October 9, 2013.[7] The video showcased the group in an air force military concept, similar to the navy concept of their label mates Girls' Generation's "Genie" era. It was directed by Jang Jae-hyuk, who stated that various techniques and equipment like the steadicam, technocrane and camera matrix, were used to film the music video.[8] The choreography of the song was produced by Tony Testa.[9] The agency's resident choreographer Gregory Hwang also co-produced the dance moves.[10] The group wore military uniforms designed by Thom Browne.[11]

Critical reception

Billboard K-Town columnist Jeff Benjamin wrote "while finding a delicous balance of hyperactive EDM and pop stylings is commendable, the most impressive point of Shinee's "Everybody" comeback is the choreography – some of 2013's best".[2]

Live performances

The first live performance of "Everybody" was included in the set-list of the Shinee Comeback Special at the Gangnam Hallyu Festival on October 6, 2013, in Samseong-dong, Seoul. The performances were streamed on SM Town's YouTube channel.[12] The first broadcast live performance, however, was through Mnet's music show M Countdown on October 10, 2013.[13] This was followed by performances at KBS Music Bank on October 11,[14] MBC Show! Music Core on October 12,[15] SBS Inkigayo on October 13,[16] and MBC Music Show Champion on October 16, 2013.[17]

Japanese version

The Japanese version was included as one of the three tracks on their ninth Japanese single "3 2 1", which was released on December 4, 2013, under the distributing label of Universal Music Japan.[18]
