The first time that I came out was in middle school. I had many good friends, whom I hope would be kind to me but the rumours spread very fast and after that, going to school became very hard for me. Every day kids would come up and bully me. Every single day, I kept thinking that I just wanted to die. During those times, “You did nothing wrong” was something I never heard and no one showed me support.

“girl crush concepts only” kpop fans are sooooo annoying yall refuse to stan, appreciate or even respect girl groups when they do more fun, upbeat, girly/cute concepts but then turn around and stan the second a girl group goes a bit more “badass” n then drop them again once their next comeback doesn’t meet your girl crush standards (read: clc) and like……yall gotta stop w that

i know a lot of people (many boy group stans) have recently started gaining interest in red velvet either because of peekaboo or bad boy (both more “girl crush” concepts) and that’s great! i encourage people to love and support red velvet! but i know there’s a lot of people only stanning red velvet for their velvet “badass” comebacks and not their red, fun, girly songs n im always worried a lot of yall are gonna drop red velvet if/when they have a fun red comeback in 2018 after bad boy like yall did with clc, jus cause yall dont fuck with that kinda music. thats something im not here for. 

appreciate and respect girl groups for the variety they bring and for ALL their music styles. im not saying u gotta like every song, but girl groups are always valid and deserve respect regardless of what concept they have. stop having the highest of standards when it comes to girl group concepts when a boy group could literally blink and yall would stan anything they put out. im tired of girl groups only getting respect sometimes.

fyjjong:

hello. this is shinee’s taemin.

to be honest, at first i did not have the confidence to hold the concert tour. however, we made a promise to the fans and from now on and in the future i do not want to be apart from shinee.

when i look back at my most comfortable and happiest moments i remember those times i’m with my members …. and all our fans. the more i want to attached to the name shinee and to my co-members, the more i cannot give up.

i know that from now on the future will never be easy. but for shinee’s name to not lose it’s light and continue shining for a bit longer i will do my best to make (the concert) unforgettable.

i made too many beautiful memories with the members and everyone and i’m very grateful for that. i want to treasure those moments and remember them forever.

also, from now on, i want to be loved as shinee and receive self-confidence from the member watching us from the skies in order to get over and perform as shinee would on stage.

i’m really sorry for making the fans worry. please watch over our future from now on. since it’s cold please take care of your health. take care of us this year, too. (source: keihissi)

fyjjong:

hello. this is shinee’s minho.

in regards to the status of shinee’s japan concert i wanted to share news in a calmer state, after long consideration and discussions with each other.

while i’m writing this i’m having many feelings and thoughts and wishes but i hope that my message is able to be conveyed (through this letter).

there are many people who are open to the idea of us returning, and others against the idea, but we actually don’t know what is the correct way to handle things in this moment. however, we think that this is our best decision to continue our promise to (jonghyun).

the memories we have been able to share between our members, staff and fans have been so precious and they are some of the happiest moments that i don’t think can be replaced.

jonghyun’s space is also something that can’t be replaced. there are many worries regarding whether we will be able to stand on stage as a group again, but i will prepare the fullest so my heart is shown in the near future.

jonghyun hyung and the rest of us promised: when we were tired and wanted to quit, and when we wanted to run away since we were too weak, we will remember that (the fans) were our biggest strength and, because of this, we will continue to keep singing. let us all overcome this battle together.

during our time together this cold winter please continue to share your warm support with shinee and jonghyun hyung. . (source: balloon_wanted)

fyjjong:

hello. this is shinee’s key.

thank to all of your worries, i, too have been making an effort to pull myself together and return to my daily life. there are times where i shed tears because traces of jonghyunnie hyung spring memories of all our past times to mind, and my heart aches but i’m trying hard to overcome it well by thinking that i’m spending time with hyung.

i know that everyone supports shinee’s unchanged activities and though i also worried about it a lot i thought that it wouldn’t do to simply give everything up and hope that my heart would become whole.

in the midst of many people’s worries we have decided to continue with the japanese dome concerts that were planned. this decision is the “us” that jonghyunnie hyung would want, and i thought that keeping our promise with all of you and showing you a good stage would be the most “shinee-like” thing to do.

this year is the year of our tenth anniversary since we debuted as shinee. i’m so thankful to you for always cheering for us and encouraging us, and we will repay you with a stage that is “shinee-like”. i love you and thank you. (source: sullaem)

fyjjong:

hello. this is shinee’s onew.

i’m not sure how i should begin.

thank you for protecting and caring for our members who we love so very, very much, and i am simply so sorry for worrying you, our fans.

i. thought that it isn’t / shouldn’t be possible. i also thought that we wouldn’t be able to do the concert. however, after hearing the message from jonghyun’s mother to please never give up, i came to make a pledge [to myself] that, lacking as i am, i must work harder if it means it will provide comfort to the many people who miss him and are hurting somewhere.

although i’m so very lacking i want to do everything in my power to try my absolute best for shinee’s sake. even if the process is challenging and arduous, i will try my hardest.

jonghyun, who is a member of shinee forever, is always within our hearts and as he will live on forever in your - the fans’ - hearts too i believe nothing changes.

we will continue to show ourselves working hard as shinee from now on. thank you.

After Jong’s funeral, the moon in some places turned aqua. It’s good to know where he is now, and that he is still always and always will be with us, our little man on the moon ❤️

  • remember how jonghyun never learned how to ride a bicycle until he was 23 and when he finally learned how to, his new bike got stolen and had to go back to the bike shop the next day, apologized to the bike owner and bought a new one (only to find out a year or two later that minho was the one behind the bike theft)
  • remember how jonghyun always somehow managed to get a lot of sm’s youtube channel and would post cute n wholesome clips of his dog roo
