It has been very difficult to write at this current moment in time. This is a sad time for K-pop and fans. My beloved songbird is no longer in pain. I love Kim Jonghyun with all my heart he was one of my favorite singers in K-pop. He will always be in my heart as one of the young men who inspired me to write here on AFF. I pray for his family, his dear group members and friends and all his fans.  

Jonghyun would want us to learn to be loving, and kind to one another because that was something he needs more of in his own personal life.  For people to show loving kindness by simple words, "You did a good job or you really worked hard." It doesn't cost us anything to be kind and show love. So I will continue to grant his wish as much as I can, and I encourage all of you to do the same.

I look forward to the day when we will all be able to say, to death, "where is your sting!"  I do have hope, that one day, all those we love and have lost to the memorial tombs will come to life again. What a joyous time that will be. Until then let's be more supportive of those we love in the K-pop industry. That they get the vital things that they need. They are all human beings. Don't let the larger in life images make you think they are not. They to eat properly, sleep properly, time off from work to be with the ones they love. They need rest and they need a personal life with friends and those whom they choose to fall in love with.  Let's be respectful of them and recognize that their talent is something they should enjoy and not be made to feel like it's a burden. Because of the demands and criticism that's heap upon their shoulders. They need to be healthy in mind and body. I hope we take this encouragement in use it in our own personal lives as well. My tears prevent me from saying anything further.

As someone who deals with mental illness I understand completely how you feel. I also understand the struggles and the strengths it probably has taken Jonghyun all of these years. Life isn’t easy and his battle with his shadow is finally over and he can Rest In Peace. It doesn’t matter what job you may have, as a human being simply waking up finding motivation could be difficult. My heart goes out to him and his family, his friends and coworkers and to every KPOP idol who is struggling to express themselves. Hopefully people realize that there needs to be more support groups in the industry

This is a heartbreaking turn and I pray for his family and friends. I've always admired his talents and loved his voice so I'm not so sure how to undo the shock and hurt of thinking what he must have been going through. As a fan of your writing, I'm glad that you've found that push/pull to still be here with us and I will respect the hell out of your decision to not continue. Much love

I completely understand and plan to do the exact same in the future.

I fully respect and support your decision. I was actually wondering how I would respond if this situation were to happen to the subjects of my fics, and I came to the very same decision. I think you've made a mature choice and even if it pains us as readers, it's probably for the best.

I respect and understand your decision as well. He will truly be missed. I’ve struggled with depression as well and even now as an adult, I know how hard it can be to cope. I couldn’t imagine being in the public eye either. I only hope he has found some peace.

I respect and truly understand your decision. This is a painful time in k pop world and it's going to take time or it might never. I don't think I can read any stories that involves Jonghyun without crying and trying to understand why such a beautiful angel was taken from us so soon.
Be strong and at anytime you need to vent or just want to talk I am here for you.
We all need each other now.
Stay strong friend.

You know they are claiming he is still alive?

I understand but I also wanted to read the story he should have had in life. I will respect your wishes as I am deeply sadden by this heart breaking event. May he rest in peace and find the happiness he was always searching for.
