[C.C] Key and Taeyeon think of the beautiful memory with Jonghyun

[@shineesupremacy8500]

Im glad shinee are able to talk about jonghyun more openly now. his memory will never be forgotten. and his name should not only be a sad subject. his life that he lived shouldn't be overshadowed by his passing as he was talented, funny, kind, and a great person overall. I love the shinee world family ☺

[@lisaanderson6920]

I Truly Agree With this Comment. Wholeheartedly. ❤️😊

[@ncteno]

the fact that they can openly reference him and his past actions without pain now really shows how far they've come.

And this is the healthiest you'll ever see K-pop culture be. Because post this 2nd gen of idols, with social media and more and more kids flocking to k-pop the idols have become machines. They're like circus animals kept in a cage walking a tight rope around everyone and everything because the fans are so childish with everything. 2nd gen was the last time idols were free and open with each other.

If you were to ask me after so many things happened after Jonghyun, I want him to share everything that he felt, every problems and struggles that he is feeling right now but that'll be overstepping of our boundaries in terms of being a fan. But I do really hope he won't be scared to share any struggles or problems he had on his family and friends and won't suffer alone and silently. As Taeyeon said, they know the answer now so I do hope they won't be afraid to seek help once things arise.

[@isisribeiroaesthetics3667]

[@cindypoole6792]

I started watching SHINee career after Jonghyun passed on, but I've watched A LOT of the MV and live performances with Jonghyun and this chat made me cry. I can't imagine what those young men went through and probably are still going through with his passing. Now, with Onew being ill, it has to be extra scary. Taeyeon is such a wonderful listener.

[@stillfangirlingtoday1468]

For real, I'm really worried about Onew, I think he took Jonghyun's passing the hardest and it shows with every comeback, so I always worry, but now that he got visibly sick, I'm always anxious, I can't wait for him to be back.

[@tokki_bunch]

@@stillfangirlingtoday1468 It's just my personal take, but it seems to me that a lot of the songs and lyrics on the Circle album (and the title song itself, obviously), are about coming to terms with missing someone, walking through memories, and accepting that they're gone. So I do think Onew's still (in an emotionally healthy way, hopefully) working through the loss.

[@stillfangirlingtoday1468]

​@@tokki_bunch Yeah, I hope he was able to come to terms with it, just like Key seems to have done. He looked so sad singing some of those songs at his concert. I hope he gets well soon.

I remember I was afraid to hear “Replay” without Jonghyun because it’s one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s a classic & without him, it will never sound the same, I cried so hard watching their first live in Japan without Jonghyun, all the members were broken… his standing mic with the rose & when his voice came out, I just lost it. Everytime I comeback to watch this clip of Key being honest with Taeyeon, I cry 😭

And I just don't want to revisit the pain. Not only do I like SHINee for SHINee - for their art and for the members, but they're also what got me into the Korean language and culture and this whole new world of content. And still I just rather not trigger the pain.

[@ΠαρασκευηΚωστελιδου]

"It's okay to miss Jonghyun" - thank you for this words, Key. Sometimes talking about him feels like a taboo but that should never be the case.

WHY IS THIS TALK SO MENTALLY HEALTHY??! IT FEELS UNHEARD OF in the KPOP industry?!? THIS IS A REALLY GOOD THING

[@winwinsonlylinesinboss]

i hope people won't always be so upset when jonghyun is mentioned. his passing was sad of course, but he made himself a legendary figure. he was kind, funny, inspiring, talented, and passionate. i'm tired of people making his legacy his death because he is so much more than his death. he spent half of his life training to be an idol and performing as an idol. he poured his soul into his work and you could tell. not only was he a great performer but he was also a great producer who also made songs for other people alongside his own. I think I'll always be a little sad about him, but a bigger part of me will remember him as I remembered him while he was alive. To me, he'll always be that amazing guy who's vocals could cover a stadium and that funny guy that would everyone burst into laughter. that's just who he was and that was his legacy. he was insanely talented and he lit up the room in laughter. i don't ever want to forget those memories of him

[@pamelacunningham7668]

I admire Key and so glad he broke the silence. Jonghyun was and always should be remembered for all the wonderful things he did. ❤

[@lishamaria]

It must have been difficult for a long time, but I understand what Key means. The best thing is to accept that you miss that person and not try to avoid it because that does not help to heal, it only worsens the pain and extends it for longer.

[@ssandraa01]

Jonghyun helped me through my hardest times as a teenager, whether it was through his incredible music or his positive and bubbly personality. His passing took such a huge toll on me I stopped listening to kpop all together and tried to push away every ounce of sadness I felt. It's been 5 years since I properly listened to shinee and seeing the members talk about him and their memories so openly lately (+ their new BANGER album) has reopened that wound to properly let it heal. I never knew a person I never met or who didn't know who I was could have such a big impact on me, but there are still days I cry knowing I couldn't help him considering how much he helped me. Shinee will forever be 5 no matter what, and I'm glad I finally decided to revisit my ults❤

[@esmeg8689]

Similarly so, even if it wasnt in my teens, they brought so much joy to my life and understanding of what it is to have fun. And I tried to keep on with the kpop but I couldn't, so I distanced myself and every once in a while I revisited it all and cried and healed without knowing. It's just been this year that I reconnected, and watching them be so open and vulnerable, while I was unknowingly ready to get back on train without being sad.. healing.. helped so much, and made me understand what they were talking about even if the loss will never be as hard for me as it was for them.. i am so happy to be back with a better mindset and to be on the same page as them (for what I can gather) and so many shawols that are also healing. Let's celebrate Jjongies life and our boys', forever 5HINee ❤ + shawols 😊😊😊

[@apostoloscy95]

Same! I was 15 when I discovered SHINee with Taemin being only 2 years older than me. I felt like I got to know the members through interactions and award shows. They were always goofy, funny, respectful and loved by anyone older/younger than them. Even though I never met them in person, I always admired and loved them for who they are and Jonghyun's passing was hard to take. I cried a lot, sometimes still do, funny enough I cried more for him than for a family member. They helped me go through my teenage years, motivated me and kept me in a positive mindset. So sad I couldn't do the same and even sadder knowing that due to the way the industry is built, it must be a lonely place where you don't know who to trust. I would love to spend time with them and talk about life. But at the same time, I know it's impossible. SHINee is family

[@nad0862]

It must have been hard, kpop idols bring us so much joy so they always try to look bubbly and positive but it is a really hard life they have. I am not a Shawol but Jonghyun passing hit me hard it broke my heart especially since Shinee seems more like a family than a group. I am an Ahgase and I can't even bring myself to think what it would be like to lose a member. It is really inspiring to see Shinee keep going and fans having their back.

[@julietm1028]

It’s so admirable and beautiful that they all continue to preserve Jonghyun’s memory each and every day. I empathize with them greatly on the fact that it’s a lot more difficult to sing older songs without him. They are all so so strong and it truly shows the love they have for each other and for their craft to continue to perform.

I am so incredibly proud of SHINee as a whole but especially Key! A light truly left this world when Jonghyun passed and I know that Key took it harder than most. I am so relieved that he can be open about missing and loving Jonghyun and just being able to acknowledge his life. I can't imagine how hard it has been for him and for all of SHINee and everyone who knew and loved Jonghyun on a more personal level. And our queen Taeyeon was super close to Jonghyun too so for her to just sit and listen to Key and to acknowledge that HEALTH (we know she meant mental especially) is super important and then took that lighthearted turn in the convo was just... ugh. I don't know how they didn't cry cause I sat here and bawled.

[@lydiah4092]

This video and this commment section is so cathartic and healing, I can't even express what this means to me! And the way Key holds grief and acceptance simultaneously sets such a good example of handling loss in a healthy way. Hearing him say it's ok to miss Jonghyun was something I desperately needed to hear. I'd see so many people say, "don't focus on his passing, just celebrate his life" "remember the happy times" and while it may have been comforting to others, it always made me feel guilty for missing him so much. But now, I feel like this is confirmation that we can hold happy memories of our passed loved ones and also not feel guilty about missing them. I've been struggling with this the last few years in my personal life too, and hearing it from a person I admire so much was deeply encouraging. So grateful for Key, Taeyeon, and all of you beautiful people! 💎

[@micaelaclifford2729]

Key and Taeyeon finally talking about this in public means they're healing and it's getting better. I know that remembering the good times of your friend after mourning is one of the calmest feelings.

I really wanted to hug all of them when Key said he misses Jonghyun. We, shawol, miss him too. Hopefully we'll get to hear him sing again. Even in another life, I will still be a fan of SHINee. Forever and ever 🥺💙💎🫶

[@hechiko66]

キーくんがこんな風に話してくれたことで私も救われたし一緒に涙を流せることで少しずつ前へ進める

[@asosisos659]

it is so great to see them healed he is right it's okay to miss him it's natural that's how love works we need to talk more about what a great artist that he is

[@Emareldia]

I'm so grateful for them to still talk about Jonghyun, I miss him a lot too, and it's so good to feel like I'm not the only one. I'm so relieved they didn't just "erased" him, but instead keep his memory alive! I love SHINee, I love their bond, and their music; I just hope we'll continue all together, protected by our jonghyunnie 💎💎💎💎💎

[@renarouge5558]

I miss Jonghyun. I always think that Shinee will never be the same without him. I hope the remaining member stay healthy, physically and mentally ❤

[@voyaaa]

모두 건강하시기 바랍니다.. 정말 놀랍습니다 샤이니, 머물러 주셔서 감사합니다 😊😊

[@jinhau4744]

나도 솔직하게…. 그리워요

[@Reichfurst1981]

For the members of Shinee, the absence of Jonghyun is still a painful topic for them, but as Key said, with time they can talk about him, the talented, sweet and kind human being who was..... Some people never leave us, they never leave completely, even if they are gone... their essence remains, their voice is heard, we see them smile... some people never leave us... they are eternal!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@hello_joyvee]

As a shawol for 14years, seeing this brings back the pain I felt when the news came out. If it was hard for us fans, imagine the pain the members felt losing the most important member of their group and their dear friend. I may wander lately to other groups esp when they’re inactive but I will always come home to SHINee.

[@randomme7853]

Suprisingly this video came up on my timeline. My fav singer is going through a hard time too after losing his bestfriend. Recently, he wasnt able to attend to most of his schedules because he was advised to heal amidst all his schedules. He is having a concert very soon too. Please pray for him that he will be okay. Losing someone is hard and I’m sure that it is hard for him too after watching this video. I’m alright waiting for you but please dont take his smile away from us.

[@yokshiichicago7712]

I think shinee members were never afraid of showing there love towards jonghyun and especially key we all know it was a hard time but its time for them to release it slowly and look for the better future

[@lucilemay7218]

My SHINee ❤ Key also knew at that time Shawols needed those words… I will forever be grateful and immensely in love with my 5 SHINee boys ❤

[@yelly13mori]

Ahh, to think that it's still hard to watch these kinds of stuff after so long. It's been years since Jjong passed, but my heart still aches. I'm glad that the members are being given a safe space that makes them comfortable enough to talk about what happened and the things that transpired due to Jjong's passing. Before, I kept saying how strong SHINee is for keeping on performing even after, and to be honest part of that was selfishness on my part because I didn't want my bias group do disband. But thinking back to it now, SHINee definitely has to be the strongest group of people out there. I followed SHINee since 2009. I was 14 years old then. I basically grew up with them. And for someone like me who only connected with them through the screen and not be able to gather enough strength to watch people talk about Jjong or even listen to their old songs at one point, what more for these 4 members who spent more time together even before debuting, creating memories with Jjong, achieving all these things with him, and then suddenly he passes. Onew, Key, Minho, and Taemin didn't have to continue being a group. At that time, in all honestly, while I didn't want them to break up, I would have understood if they decided to disband. What they went through must have been so painful. They each were in a stage in their careers where they can work on solo activities and move on with their lives. But they chose to stay together, be there for each other on and off the stage, and create new memories as a group while not forgetting the old ones. What strength these four have. I am so, so proud of them. I keep mentioning this before, but I'll say it again. I am glad it was SHINee that started it all for me. I will forever love and support them.

[@MS9SM-6]

Dear Key, You are very brave and thank you for sharing how you feel. We are glad as Shinee fans that you let us inside your thoughts. We will keep supporting you and your team because you deserve nothing but the best. What a beautiful group Shinee. True definition of purity… keep shining…

[@santeriabanks2930]

Like some...I too, became fan of Shinee after Jonghyun's passing and I started to watch just about every performance and concert that he was in. And I could feel his sincerity, the genuinality in his spirit, and overall a real kind soul who loved music and really used it to the full tilt as communication. And its nothing to be taken for granted because I honestly felt this instant connection with him, although that he was already gone. And I dont doubt for not even a second that I might be a soulmate of some kind but, Im not sure and yet, its due to this connection. Regardless, I agree with Key. You miss him and his absence is still felt but, you have to go on and each and everyone of them is doing that and we should all do that. Jong would want all of us to!

[@lizettmckindo1239]

Eso es cierto yo apenas lo conocí en Diciembre curiosamente vi el video de su funeral el 20 de ese mes 2 días después de cumplir 5 años de su fallecimiento, de ahí en adelante me paso igual que a tí, es algo extraño sentí como que lo hubiera conocido y para que fue cuando vi la canción de tributo que cantaron sus compañeros esto fue pura lágrimas pero si es que hay un apego hacia él y no se a que se debe.

[@santeriabanks2930]

​@@lizettmckindo1239: I know and I completely understand what you are implying. I still wonder what this connection with him could've been. But because I know that his spirit must rest, I try not to be bothered about it.

[@ongmuiling17188]

Im so proud of Key oppa for being brave. It must have been not easy for the SHINee boys. I hope they will keep on smiling in life, and with Jong hyun's share, continue to work even harder.

[@yumihs2]

Thank you so much for keeping Jonghyun's memory alive ❤ He will never be forgotten.

[@thaliadelafuente986]

So many years of friendship and work, lots of memories and love between them (all of SHINee, including Jonghyun who will always be in their hearts and thoghts). Nice to know they have someone to share life with.

[@nadiabowes7040]

Lovely to hear them talking about Lovely Jonghyun so openly. Needs to be Done as He will never ever be Forgotten - He was so Special! 💎💎💎💎💎

[@호호시-z8n]

Jonghyun I hope you are at peace now. You will always be missed. This episode had me bawling because everyone will always miss him. Every new comeback I'm excited for but also my heart aches because it leaves me wondering, what would this song be like with Jognhyun. 😢 love shinee forever ❤❤❤

[@contessamj]

Jonghyun you are loved and missed you are the soul of this SHINee World

[@eungiso4624]

I told myself before watching: you will not cry. I sob. I've been a fan SHINee for 10 years now. And unfortunately, I only spent 5 years with Jonghyun. But if he is happy there, then everything is fine. The main thing is that he is happy.

[@Jonghyunforever-rl3is]

My eyes hurt from tears... Key thank you very much for remembering our Jonghyun. I know it's still very hard for you, but you are a very strong person. Your brother needs to be with you every day and be proud of how well you're doing. It's very hard for me too without Jonghyun. I miss him every day. I often cry because I wish he was still with us, but the other SHINee guys give me so much strength.. I don't know what I would do without you guys. I love all five so much. You are my light in this gray world. I promise to smile more. For Jonghyun. Because he definitely doesn't want us to be sad❤️❤️

[@stormycake821]

I didn't know what to expect but I'm so proud of Key being authentic with his friend and with the studio group. It does make it feel okay, key.

[@WTT_321]

When the news of Jonghyun's death came, I was devastated because I actually liked him and his music... I'm glad the other members, as well as his friends, are able to talk about him openly... I remember first watching SHINee on their season of Hello Baby and when they were young... I'll always cherish those moments of OT5 back in my step into the Kpop world, especially during the 2nd Generation of when things really got jumpstarted for me... SHINee will always have a special place in my heart for sure....! 🥰

[@CallOfDestiny99]

I also feel that we don't acknowledge enough the emotional impact on the remaining members when a group loses a member. I remember when Kibum and Hankyung left Super Junior, u can really see how it affected the remaining members but they had to keep pretending things were fine and nothing was wrong. This is not healthy, and I am happy that Key and Taeyeon are slowly breaking away from that toxic culture

[@ENM-h1l]

샤이니 맴버들 다 많이 고생했어. 밖에 만날 수 있다면 수고했다, 다들 잘 하고 있어 이런 말들 나누고 안아주고 싶어. 많이 많이 사랑해.

[@GIGI_XG]

During the early months after his passing, I just stopped watching kpop and kdramas, like I felt everything is over if I can't see my bias anymore, then I figured out I just need some time to regain my strength and to miss him in silence. And I definitely know it's way harder for the members because all the attention was on them that time. They still have to learn that he is no longer with them and coping that feeling of losing someone so close to you is never ever an easy thing. And to be talking about it is even harder coz that's when reality hits you back again. Key is right, there will be times when they are ready to talk about Jjong...

[@narminguliyeva4500]

I knew Jonghyun after his death. But every time I heard his name I began to cry. I really love his songs so much. Whenever I hear his voice it gives me different feeling. Thank u for those masterpieces Jonghyun. After learning korean, I'm willing to read your book too. Be happy up there. Rest in peace🖤

[@Moo0nika]

Even me, as a fan, I miss Jonghyun. I can't even imagine how his close ones feel... Thank you for your honesty, Key. I always appreciate it and like you for it!

[@sj_1341]

Haberlos visto hablar tan libremente sobre sus sentimientos/pensamientos respecto a Jonghyun, de cierta manera me han transmitido paz. Me encanta saber que se tienen mutuamente para darse apoyo y consuelo entre ellos. Gracias Key por recordar al mundo el legado de Jonghyun, el cual siempre estará con vosotros y en nuestros corazones. Jonghyun ahí donde esté, debe sentirse tan orgulloso de vosotros. Gracias SHINee por permanecer unidos y fuertes pese a los momentos tan duros.

[@siletsahar]

It's important - and healthy - talking about how we feel... Only expressing ourselves we are able to overcome hard times

[@crispyfry-dx4ei]

Jongyun was our everything

Im new to kpop but i heard about his passing at the time! Key is so open and geniune and Taeyeon is a great listener!
