Please read and share! Raising awareness of mental illnesses in Korea!

So I already sent this to my kakao contacts and now it's aff's turn, so here you go:

To all my contacts, my friends, fellow shawols,

Please, sign the petition below to raise the awareness of mental health issues in Korea. As most of you know, the suicide rate and number of mentally suffering people is very high in Korea but there are only a few possibilities to ask for help. Asking for help itself is a shame for many Koreans, too, they are afraid to get judged negatively and often don’t even try to cry for help. In Jonghyun’s case, he has not received enough help. “My doctor said it was my personality”, this is not something that will help people in this condition, this professional was not suitable for this job.

Jonghyun’s death shouldn’t be for nothing. He is finally free from those bad voices in his head, from this never-ending dark tunnel he was probably trapped inside. His death should start something really great. Jonghyun would be proud of us if he saw this. I am not religious at all but I believe death is not the end for us, so I hope Jonghyun is proudly looking over our doings, looking over his family and protecting them from the bad tongues that no one could protect him from.

With this petition reaching (I think) 1 million voices, we want idols to have someone to consult within their agencies. People who are professionals, people who will not judge them because idols are also only human. They may gift us with their music, their happy attitude, their smiles, but we never know if they are hurting behind that smile. They shouldn’t be ashamed to ask for help and I hope you all can sign and share this petition.

Jonghyun is already helping a lot of people, awareness of mental health issues are no being risen worldwide, Jonghyun is mentioned worldwide. People get the strength to talk with people about their mental problems because that is what Jonghyun would have wanted. Not all in my list may be a fan of Jonghyun or know him at all but I hope you will still participate and help start a movement. First, it will be idol’s treatment, then it will spread nationwide, asianwide, worldwide, hopefully.

We will always remember Jonghyun in our hearts as a great vocalist, songwriter and supporter of the lgbtq movement in Korea. “So goodbye, don’t cry and smile”, with his words, try your best to have a smile on your lips for this wonderful man. Wipe your tears and be happy for him that he doesn’t have to suffer anymore.

Lastly, if anyone wants to talk about Jonghyun or mental problems, I am also available at any time. I myself, as most of you know, have suffered from mental illnesses for years, but I want to try my best and help other people overcome it bit by bit. So don’t hesitate to contact me <3
