For the first time after a long time, I'm celebrating December rather than go into my usual mourning. Below are some of my favourite Jonghyun photos in B&W that I've kept for a while. Credit goes to their editors and photographers.

I wish Jonghyun’s instagram page had DMs open. Not for anyone to read, just… just so I had somewhere to message him better than my notes app. I’m going to write him another letter. I wish I spoke to him more when I was happy. I’m glad I have him to write to when I am sad.

Your soul stained my shoulders. My whole life smells like you. This will take time, undoing you from my blood.

six years today

Today marks six years since we lost our beloved Jonghyun, our beloved star that left us too early. Today we remember his talent and gifts, his kindness and love, how special he was to all of us. Today we grieve in our own way together as we remember our beloved Jonghyun, each day we all pray he shines as bright as the rest of SHINee. Today we pray and hope SHINee grieve their lost friend, group member, and brother, who they shared years with and lost so suddenly, may they take care of themselves and each other. May Jonghyun rest in peace and watch over SHINee and his loved ones happily, knowing he could never be forgotten, a star like him could never fade.

Relatable Jjong. and that’s also why you’re the most talented artist and writer bc you’re able to feel and experience everything on a very deep level, and that’s really okay 🩵

hi hellooo pleasure to be here again!! i have come to rant

so last night i went a bit through your blog because i vaguely remembered that at some point there was a conversation about "stage presence" and how only kpoppies give a shit about it. and i found some asks from last year about this youtuber who made like a whole classification on stage presence with all this masculine overt dominant whatever categories. and i was mindblown because just yesterday i got recommended one of their videos and i was watching that stuff like wtf. that took me back to my early kpop days (which is like 2018 lol) when i also discovered the term stage presence and i thought i did something. anyway

i actually came here to talk about shinee's recent comeback!! from the little i've seen, there's some beef among shawols regarding wether shinee is really "shinee" anymore and i've seen some people saying they've unstanned bc of hard. like you do you ig

i've been thinking that i genuinely like the song, but indeed it doesn't have that classic shinee vibe. (also satellite best bside???) to me it's just like taemin key onew and minho got together to sing a song, but it's not "shinee" per se. and that's okay.

regarding performances i only watched the studio choom dance version and tbh for the first time in my limited shinee eras knowledge i thought that minho takes the cake for this one. idk if it's the fact that he's more stereotipically masculine (or at least coming across that way) or what, but honestly his part in the second chorus is my favorite. key is second favorite and again his part in the last chorus suits him a lot imo especially with the different choreo for it. as for taemin i'm glad he's bringing his poppiest pops forward because i swear i feels like that man's bones are snapping inside his body but other than that honestly i don't think he's enjoying this era too much fdjdvscg

hi hello again!!!

alksdjflksdafj not that youtuber again....they're a fucking plague i need them to read a fucking book for the love of god. just so profoundly uninformed, its mind boggling.

i've seen variations of this take since before the song even came out and honestly? i don't agree. you can not like the song for any number of reasons but the fact of the matter is that it IS a shinee song. what makes a shinee song is that it's their voices. that's all that makes a shinee song. for a group that has an extended history of genre experimentation, for fans to get mad or say it's "not them" when they DO do something experimental is cowardly and embarrassing. just admit that you don't like the song and move on. there will be a time when EVERY artist you love makes something that you don't. that's fine and normal. don't hide behind incorrect assertions like "it's an nct reject" or that it doesn't sound like them. they're artists that still want to explore and grow and they have agency to do that. it's not a failing to admit that you don't like something that your faves made, and i also think it's rude and denies them identity and agency to say that 'it doesn't sound like them', especially with this particular group.

personally what i think people are subconsciously getting at when they say a song doesnt sound like shinee is that it sounds incomplete because it's missing a voice. the same discourse circled around with dcm came out and people are not acknowledging that shinee is never going to sound the same as they did pre 2017 (2018 technically bc jonghyun's voice is still on tsol). they just aren't. the chemical makeup of the melodies is going to be different forever and people need to acknowledge and accept that. the four of them are doing their best to fill in that hole and theyre doing a great job, but there is still a hole.

my own edit just because I want to make my personal wallpaper of the month as I commemorate all things Jonghyun. I've returned to the social meds after years of trying to sooth my own heartbreak and pain. it's still hard now that I'm here but it's been a nice journey so far especially with all the activities from Super Junior sunbaenim and SHINee solo promotions.

said a prayer for Jjong today.

[masterandapprentice]

Because there is no day that we don't remember You. To our diamond sky, to our Shining moon. 💎

You did well. We love you ❤️

One of my favorite Jjong photos. He looks so tiny and strong giving the performance his all lol. I saw him in concert twice during their first US fanmeet and SHINee World IV tour. His charisma, stage presence, voice, humor, laugh, height ... online videos don't even come close to how amazing he is in person.
