4 Minutes 44 Seconds (2024)

no ones written a review for this so I felt I should :) there's no english translation at all available at least right now and I doubt there ever will be with the time its been out, and my korean skills are nowhere near great at the moment. so it should be known my review is coming as a shinee and onew fan as I only watched his 4 minute segment from the one upload I could find (possibly the only upload on the whole internet apart from this other popular idol I don't personally know of that had her segment uploaded to reddit with english subtitles) on Dailymotion (which only has subtitles in mandarin and I believe Indonesian) and translated it myself (a whole 44 minutes would not be possible for me at the moment, but id love to in the future translate it fully to english possibly for those to watch assuming someone doesn't do it first!)

all this being said, again take all this with a grain of salt as I only watched the one 4 minute segment, but the plot itself wasn't all that interesting or in-depth, but with a movie comprised of just 4 minute segments I wasn't expecting much from it in that department. I'm sure the intention regardless was to focus more on character anyway as that's what it seems, and in that regard its pretty good! the acting naturally carries as that's really all there is to focus on, and he did great!

lastly, I've seen many shinee fans asking about this even pretty recently; just to be clear, I haven't uploaded my translation. again, I'm pretty new in my korean learning journey and I doubt its at all any good (or I'm just insecure lol) and due to the only footage I could find of his segment not being the greatest it doesn't look the best (attempting to crop out a watermark and two pairs of subtitles doesn't leave much room for my own subtitles and the actual footage, as well as it randomly going from pretty good quality visually to not that good randomly - but that part was out of my control). that being said if anyone is at all still interested in (at least for now) just seeing onew's part from someone who is new to the language and hasn't translated anything in their life before outside of the little I've learned so far, definitely feel free to let me know and ill probably upload it or at least send it out to people! just be aware its possibly not that great lol!

hope this is at all helpful :)

update: decided to upload it! again likely not the best but it’s enough to watch it :) https://youtu.be/LEbI0h3bJUM
