* Jonghyun - Lonely (Feat. Taeyeon)
some jonghyun moments i never want to forget
- standing up for lgbt students and minorities at large by amplifying their voices, but doing so respectfully (dec 2013)
- reflecting on his appreciation for hero movies… ‘i have to protect my world’ (mar 2013)
- receiving boxes of listerine after a joke comparing his deja-boo suit colors to listerine flavors went viral, during base promotions (feb 2015)
- comforting a fan who was self-conscious about her name with a handwritten note at a shinee fansign (may 2015)
- going to comfort a crying key during shinee’s concert at tokyo dome, but ending up crying himself (early 2015)
- speaking playfully with a male listener on blue night radio (may 2015)
- mentioning his gratitude for fans and listeners in creating a safe space with blue night radio (july 2015)
- discussing his conversation with taemin about “gender roles, prejudices and negative views about artists, etc.” when writing pretty boy for taemin ft. kai on blue night radio (aug 2015)
- personally supporting radio guest baek young ok on blue night radio in her efforts to bring sanitary pads to low-income girls (mar 2017)
there are so many more moments to include but i wanted to hold onto these for sure. jonghyun, you were a celebrity like no other. i cant imagine a world without you. i wish you’d gotten to known how many hearts and minds you touched with your voice, your songwriting, and just by being yourself.
Jonghyun was one of the most thoughtful artists I’ve ever followed. His support for the lgbt community and his advocacy for mental health has been a beacon of hope in an industry that denies both. I can’t even put in words how much he will be missed and how much this hurts.
to all of the shawols following me, if you need to talk, my inbox is always open. please be strong
Rest In Peace, Kim Jonghyun. Thank you for your voice, your love, your smiles and for inspiring and making millions of people happy. You will forever live on in our memories.
