Everyone, Please Read This

First of all, this is my very first post, so yay but not yay. Second of all, I apologize for not being online or updating a lot these days. But today, I want to talk about something that has pretty much changed my life, and I'm sure it has also changed others.

I am hear to talk about Shinee's Kim Jonghyun's death.

Now, I don't want to be straightforward just like that, so I'll give out some info about Shinee to those of you who are new to the kpop world.

Shinee is a boy group from SM Entertainment that debuted in 2008.

Shinee consists of five members: Onew, Key, Minho, Taemin, and last but not least, Jonghyun.

They have released some of the most legendary songs in kpop history, such as Lucifer, Ring Ding Dong, Sherlock, Everybody, etc.

Shinee has accomplished so much in their nine years, that they are known as one of the legends of kpop. They are role models to most idols and are greatly respected in every way.

Now comes back to the sad news.

On December 18, 2017 at 18:10 (KST), the police announced that they had found Jonghyun unconscious at a rented apartment studio in Cheongdam-dong, Southern Seoul. His older sister however, had made the intial call to emergency responders at 16:42 (KST), claiming that she believed her brother, Jonghyun was going to commit suicide due to her receiving numerous text messages from Jonghyun himself, hinting that Jonghyun was prepared to leave.

Jonghyun was then rushed to Konkuk University Hospital where he received emergency CPR treatment and was in a state of cardiac arrest. However, he was unable to regain consciousness and passed away at the hospital.

There is no evidence on how he died yet, but investigators had discovered coal briquettes burnt on a frying pan, believing that he had died from inhaling too much toxic fumes.

People close to Jonghyun have claimed that he had suffered from depression issues for quite a long time and have explained how Jonghyun would tell them about his thoughts and perspectives.

It was truly sad and heartbreaking to find out that he had passed away.

I was just reading some webtoons (basically it's like Korean manga), when I came across some comments on a webtoon stating about Jonghyun passing away. I was very curious so I decided to do some research. When I found out what had happened, it was unbelievable. I had thought that it a joke and that everything would be back to normal, but when I saw a video clip of other idols dressed up in their funeral clothes, visiting Jonghyun, I decided that accept that fact that Jonghyun did pass away.

I was and is still grieving for the loss of Jonghyun but I hope he rests in peace up there. Some people might think that I am just making this post for mere self attention, but Jonghyun is actually my bias from Shinee and he will always be in my heart. Even though Jonghyun might not get a lot of respect compared to the other Shinee members, he is still a legendary figure in the kpop history and he will always be.

He has poured all of his heart into satisfying each and every one of his fans with sincerity and kindness. I hope at least one person reads this and comment on how they think of this. Please, do tell me if Jonghyun's death is affecting you a lot or if it isn't even affecting you at all. I want to see other people's perspectives and opinions.

And a final word to Jonghyun.

I have loved his sweet and charming voice, one that would bring me to ease whenever I myself was having a rough day or needed something to cool me down. He will always, forever be in my heart, including the other Shinee members. I am even sure the Shinee members are suffering more than me, losing someone who's a great friend and member. But their fans that are devoted to them must be suffering the most. They have been supporting them since day one and must have been heartbroken to hear this tragic news. However, I think they will also wish for Jonghyun to be happy up there, with no worries to think about. 

Until then, this has been JungChaeYeon1997.

It was our exam so I woke up like four am in our country to review then I switched on the tv then after some few more news something caught my attention saying Jonghyun is dead I was shookt and everything else was unbelievable I thought it was a joke but I realized news will never make fun of me then I search what really happen and it breaks my heart about everything else. I knew him for a long time He was a great man and his music inspires and is beautiful to be true. I kept asking why why why I was shaking and I cant feel my heart anymore so I went to our bathroom to have a piece of mind. I read his letter to his friend nine9 and it was heartbreaking and sad. Then I realized how unfair life is like last night I was so happy because of taeyang's marriage and nayoungie's birthday then the next morning all this has happend. Until now I still cant believe it It doent feel right nor real. I will miss him and I happy that his pain ended already I hope he's genuinely happy up there

Not much of a crybaby and I must be honest that I'm not a Shawol but as a member of a KPOP community, the news made my heart heavy. SHINee had been a part of my Kpop life since 2010 and hearing that a precious member with the precious talent of singing had to be taken away by the said type of mental struggle.

It also depicts that mental struggles aren't picky with their victims, that even the talented and gifted ones also have their inner battles to fight. It's just very sad to hear the news and the acceptance that needs to come with it.

I pray for him. He will be prayed by most of us and we will miss him and his gift to us fans through his singing and music.

Till then, RIP Jonghyun-oppa. May our Almighty welcome you with open arms.

This heartfelt messages hit me really. I still can’t believe that he’s gone. It feels surreal, and it’s still feel difficult to pick myself back together. Hugs to you and other SHAWOLs, let’s stay strong together. I’m sure he is now happy and in a better place.
