141005 - Kibum's IG Update

To the many people who have been taking care of my team and I, hello this is Key. I don't know how to deliver my words but.. I wasn't able to participate in our Japan schedule on the 24th because of a personal circumstance. On the 23rd, my grandmother passed away. As she is the person who raised me up and gave me lots of love, my heart is still trying to come to terms with the fact and I don't realise she's no longer here. However I felt it wasn't right to announce this beforehand through the company and leave the two big concerts SMTOWN and the 1st concert of our Japan tour so I am only saying this now. I believe my grandmother in heaven is watching the hardworking side of me and I will do my best for the remaining tours. Everyone please continue to give us lots of support and I will meet you with a smile! Thank you.

I'm crying. I'm seriously crying right now. I just can't bare the sadness anymore. My heart is aching from this news. :(

My deepest and sincerest condolences to our dear Kim Kibum and to his family. Thank you for keeping that smiling face for us oppa. Even though I know - WE know - how hard it is for you. We all know how much you love your halmeoni. Your halmeoni who raised and supported you all through out everything. She's in a much better place now, watching over you. Please stay strong. SHINee World will always be here to give you support.

You can cry oppa. We will not think less of you. Not now. Not ever. Just let it out.

It hurts how Kibum lost his halmeoni on his very own birthday. My heart is aching. :(

But I bet Kibum will become a much stronger person than he already is. He's a very thoughtful person. He set aside his own feelings first for the sake of the fans waiting for him at the concerts. Youre halmeoni definitely is so proud of you oppa!! And we as well, we are so proud of you. We love you from the deepest place in our hearts.
