A FarewellI am and ELF and for me SHinee are dongsaengs, though I am same age as them. SHinee has been someone I always dreamed of meeting one day. I always imagined meeting Jonghyun and becoming his friend, I see him not just as a brilliant singer or dancer but a doting older brother. I am not sure what to feel, it's been two days already and I am kind of numbed. I am not depressed, but just thinking of many 'ifs' and 'now what'. If we or s had seen the signs and had taken important measures, if just have locked him up or sent him to an asylum and what will happen now.
Guys just one thing, please be compassionate, idols go through a lot of everyday and due to their slave contract. We don't know if these idols are even allowed to rehab because Kpop is different form America. here if an idol went to rehab then Asian will consider him crazy or wouldn't like that, in Asia Mental health is a taboo (being Asian myself) and something very nasty. Agencies can't risk Idols' clean and angelic 'reputation' by sending them to rehab. So please be considerate when you say something or post a harsh comment on Vidoes and posts. Saying 'this song is not upto my expectation', 'the video could have been better' ,'as I fan I think this song is not good' and 'their previous song was good' could have a negative effect on an already struggling artists. Kpop is so different, artists have more pressure of companies and being successful. So don't give your negative two cents all the time. If you don't like it, leave without commenting, official critics can comments on quality of song better than you. Secondly, don't be a fanatic, support others too. I know you stan one group but give others a chance, support them on their comeback. I know, I only buy SJ, Shinee, 2ne1 and BB's albums like any other stan but I do listen to others who's music style I like. I do appreciate and acknowledge if any other group was better than my UB and be happy if they win against them. Kpop is not a war but a music genre that should be appreciated.
Third, support fandom when their idol are having hard time, we all know how Netizens attack idols for small mistakes, so we should stand united and support each other at such time. We can atleast post one tweet or IG post with said hashtag to show our support, it's not that hard.
I pray that Jonghyun will the last one and we all Kpop fans would learn from this. We all would learn to cherish our favorites and will always be their when any other fandom and idol group would need support
