Music video
The music video was released on October 9, 2013.[6] The video showcased the boys 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.[7] The choreography of the song was produced by Tony Testa.[8] The agency's resident choreographer Gregory Hwang also co-produced the dance moves.[9]
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".[10]
Live performances
The first live performance of "Everybody" was included in the set-list of Shinee Comeback Special at Gangnam Hallyu Festival on October 6, 2013, in Samseong-dong, Seoul. The performances were streamed on SM Town's YouTube channel.[11] The first broadcast live performance, however, was through M.net's music show M! Countdown on October 10. 2013.[12] This was followed by performances at KBS Music Bank on October 11,[13] at MBC Show! Music Core on October 12, at SBS The Music Trend (Inkigayo) on October 13,[14] and at MBC Music Show Champion on October 16, 2013.
