For jjong month ♡ part [1/4]

[jonghyunjjong]

Today, on April 8, for one more year we "celebrate" Jonghyun's birthday without him... It's hard every day, but even more on this special day... 😔😔

Of course I will always remember the best moments of our beloved Jonghyun and what he shared with us : his wonderful and powerful voice, his talent(s), his maturity, his intelligence, his kindness, his generosity, and so much more... we could spend hours describing his skills and qualities.

But as music was everything to him, and as it's what made us love him, let's share this video, from the last 'SHINee World' tour he did, of one of my favourite songs, 'Farewell My Love'. This performance is amazing and so moving, their vocals are insane, I'm blown away !! 🤯🤯⭐🌟✨

'Farewell My Love' - SHINee World V - 2016.09.02+03+04 - Olympic Gymnastics Arena, Seoul - (Release : 2018.03.14)

In addition, I'm also sharing this video from his solos songs, one of my favourite songs of him, '엘리베이터 Elevator'. I'm crying every time I see this performance and/or hear the emotions he puts in this song, it's a moment of grace... A true Poet | Artist indeed ⭐🌟✨🌠🌃💙💙

2015.10.28 - '엘리베이터 Elevator' - (Release : 2017.04.24 - '이야기 Op. 2 (Story Op. 2)')

Finally, I'm gonna share this other video, from the tribute they made to Jonghyun during 'The Best' tour in February of 2018, with the performance of 'From Now On'. This is for me one of their most masterful performances, they gave their all as a farewell to Jonghyun. I will always grieve the loss of our dear Bling Bling, but every time I watch this video, as seeing his empty space, I can't stop crying and my heart break into pieces even more... How much courage they showed... 💔💔💔💔💙 💎💎💎💎💎

2018.02.26-27 - 'SHINee World The Best 2018 ~ From Now On ~ in Tokyo Dome' - (Release : 2018.06.27)

💎💔💎 You did well, you worked hard, thank you for everything, we love you endlessly... 💎💔💎

[shawoluvs]

People handle grief in their own ways and I don't like to judge people on how they process loss but something about shorts and tiktoks and videos made with some sad, generic pop song playing over video clips from a celebrity's funeral gives me the ick. There are ways to remember people and if you knew someone personally then maybe it'd be different but there's something off about it that I can't put my finger on.

Song 02 - A Bit Extra (for Jonghyun)

This song was made for Jonghyun, whom the Kpop community misses largely. You did well, Jonghyun. We miss you 💎

Missin' you a bit extra today

Just for a moment, you didn't seem faraway

It's been years since I've seen your face

One that I cannot bear to replace

Missin' you a bit extra today

Rubbing my eyes to make the tears go away

Still can't believe you're gone, I'm still holding on

That may be one day, I could see you once again

Chorus:

Years of separation haven't filled up

The hole in my heart when you turned into an angel

It's like you never left, how I wish you never did

But heaven might've needed a new pair of wings

As much as I want to keep holding on

Only problem is that you were never gone

Even when you physically left this earth

Memories of you, it would stay in my heart

As much as I tell myself that I am okay

On days like this, tears just keep flowing away

I know that you're in a better place up there

But there are times that I wish you're just right here

Years of separation haven't filled up

The hole in my heart when you turned into an angel

The lives you have touched, we all miss you so much

We still wish that you are still here

You never left our hearts and minds

Your smile and eyes, frozen in happy times

I swear, I'll be okay

I'm just missin' you a bit extra today

I know everyone is soaking in the news about Liam Payne's passing. It's crazy because I discovered 1D on here. I saw someone upload a video of the react channel and they did a teens react to One Direction and that was pretty much it. It's crazy seeing people who are now in their 20s and up talking about it, being upset like these guys were apart of people's childhoods (I was 23 when I discovered them). Now I do know there has been a lot of talk about him lately and it wasn't great but it is ok to cry and grieve over this.

What's fucking me up is that we all got the news pretty much right after it happened. I'm worried that his family found out when we did. My heart is going out to his friends/family especially his son and of course the other members. I'm thinking about how the guys never got to resolve their issues before he passed. That makes me really sad. Sadly, this is not my first time dealing with a member of a group passing away. I'd say the first was Jonghyun of SHINee, Sulli of f(x) and then Tom of The Wanted. It never gets easier.

I've been seeing people say the next time we'll see them together is at the funeral. That'll fuck me up. But I saw someone else say that what if the guys do a tribute to him like at an award show just like when Quavo did a tribute to Takeoff at the Grammys last year. If the guys did something like that, I'll probably be inconsolable.

Regardless of my rambling thoughts, it is incredibly sad to hear the news of Liam's passing and I just hope for the best for his friends/family, 1D members and of course the fans.

[liliana-von-k]

I’m not a Directioner, but I do know something about having parasocial relationships with musicians, so my heart has totally gone out to you 1D fans this week. It could have just as easily been one of my guys, and in fact it already has been (~Jonghyun).

Just now I was flipping through the Roku music video channels, and I saw that Pop Hits was doing a tribute to Liam. I turned on that channel, and they were playing “Live While We’re Young.” Srsly?! The irony was just too awful, even for me.

I’ve found that the pain of grief never goes away, but it does become more manageable over time. Consider yourselves hugged, okay?

⋮  — ⧉ . . viewing her body modifications:

ᝰ her tattoos:

i. the angel wings are a tribute to all the loved ones she lost, which includes a lot of her idol and real friends.

ii. the tattoo is a reference to jonghyun, who ivy admired and loved very much. It translates to "you did well. You worked really hard. Goodbye"

iii. Ivy got the inspiration for this tattoo from her lovely grandmother who actually had this tattoo and explained the meaning to her which is, " a semicolon is used when an author could've ended the sentence but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life"

iv. ivy has a habit of getting random tattoos that fit her aesthetic and one out of the nine tattoos that she has, a few of them including this one that says "joy" is indeed random.

v. she had gotten this tattoo "angel" as it is one of many nicknames her boyfriend calls her and since he's very special to her, she decided to get his way of calling her inked.

vi. as many may already know, ivy's a pisces and so it was just appropriate that she'd get a symbol of her sign inked.

vii. the tattoo "½" is the one that she shares with her twin sister. Since the kang sisters don't see eachother quite often, their bond is shared by this tattoo.

viii. this one yet again a random flower that looked nice in the tattoo salon.

xi. this tattoo that says "love always" holds a very special place in the kang family because it is a tattoo that the twins and their mother share. The meaning is quite significant as these were the words ivy's grandmother used to repeat a lot and is the last word she ever said to them before she passed away.

ᝰ her piercings:

i. she has a total of seven piercings, four on her right ear and three on her left

Comfort Songs from Female Artists:

Heart - Taeyeon Heart is a phenomenal ballad from Taeyeon. The heartbeat-like guitar pulse is a very clever touch, and immerses you into an emotional state of mind immediately. The lovely but simple arrangement allows for Taeyeon’s signature piercing vocals to absolutely soar. The Korean title “품" means hug/embrace, a very apt title for a song that truly feels like a comforting hug. The lyrics are full of warmth and meaning. Especially the lines “You recognize the scar that I wanted to hide the most, give a kiss on it, gently pacify it and make it heal", highlighting the powerful message that the ultimate act of love is recognizing someone's vulnerability and treating it with tenderness.

LMM - Hwasa LMM might have more recognition now, since Hwasa performed it at this year's Blue Dragon Awards to pay respect to the passing of actor Lee Sung Kyun. A very touching song, it made for a very touching tribute (so thoughtfully swapped into the performance lineup by Hwasa herself). Her rich and raspy voice is perfectly soft and haunting in the verses, yet emotional and filled with power in the chorus. Hwasa's signature to her solo work is the deep and contemplative nature of her lyrics. LMM (standing for "Lost My Mind") is a perfect example of this. “Flowers bloom even in the falling rain” is a very poignant way of expressing the message of keeping resilience and strength in the face of dark times.

Breathe - Lee Hi Being one of Jonghyun’s most famous songs that he wrote, Breathe has a certain lingering perception to it. But just as Jonghyun deserves to be fully celebrated for his remarkable artistry, this song deserves full appreciation as the balm of comfort and healing it was written to be. Ultimately, Breathe tells everyone going through burdensome times that you are worthy and have permission to breathe through it all. Lee Hi is the perfect artist to deliver this, as there is a rawness and realness to her vocals, making the impact of this emotional ballad hit that much harder. 정말 수고했어요.

As Time Goes By - Yoon Mirae Yoon Mirae is a music icon in S. Korea, but very regrettably does not earn much widespread recognition for her contributions to the k-music scene from international fans. (A travesty!) Though she's most celebrated for her rapping, there is a reason why her singing voice remains in high demand for Korean OSTs. There is a rare present quality to her voice that makes you feel that she's in the same room as you, and singing to you directly. This album and track was released all the way back in 2001 so it's a rare chance that newer fans are familiar with it, but it's such a wonderful classic R&B number that instantly soothes the soul.

It Hurts (아파) (Slow) - 2NE1 An R&B-flavored ballad delivered by one of the most iconic Kpop girl groups of all time - It Hurts highlights the advantages of ballads sung by groups vs. solo artists, as every member's unique vocal color shines in the trade-off of lines, perfectly demonstrated by 2NE1 (a group so ahead of their time). It Hurts is possibly one of 2NE1’s most underrated B-side tracks and one of the numbers that best showcases their powerful and beautiful vocals (given their otherwise dance music heavy discography).

Star - Jessi Star is less of a crooning ballad and more of a mix of ballad singing with the charismatic rap we associate with Jessi. The absolute vulnerability she portrays in the vocals of this song can take you aback, given Jessi's usual outspoken and boisterous image. Yet she showcases her sensitivity so openly through her singing, which is undeniably beautiful and (no pun intended) the star of the song. The powerful rapping and lyrics in true Jessi fashion, holds nothing back while expressing the challenges of her career and life. The mix comes together in a truly underrated track from her that is equal parts strong and touching, and maybe one of her best.

'같은 자리 Area' "The faint light on the dark road Another sleepless night, tonight Oh night, starry night [...]

Your empty spot can't be filled up I'm stuck back in that day, in the same area Always in the same place [...] Your painful empty place that can't be erased The area left deeper and crueler [...] The night is never gonna be the same [...]" Miss you so much every day Jjong 😔😢 💎💙

(CW // Dec 18th, suicide, victims of harassment, violence, mental health talk)

Since I want to spread this hashtag more, I would like to talk about the Shawols that I lost over the years and bring their voices up.

Clem was a friend I met on Wattpad back in 2015 when I was 11 and she was 14. She was one of the closest and the first online friend I’ve ever had. She loved to make SHINee stories for fun and she also helped me to write better. She was an amazing writer who took great passion for her work as well as her being a big advocate for the LGBTQ+ community according to her sister who came out as lesbian a year before we met.

Unfortunately, Clem was bullied at her college and her workplace, including on her online accounts. This would occur about 1-2 month after the death has been announced. On the 15th of December 2018, 3 days after Jonghyun’s first anniversary, she couldn’t take it anymore and took her own life. She was 17.

Sam was a girl in the secondary school who was 2 years older than me. I remembered talking to her once and that was it. She also really loved Jonghyun and Onew and was a BIG fan of the group.

One day, she stopped coming to class. There was a rumour going around saying that Sam took her own life after being hate bombed for posting about Jonghyun positively to cope with the pain. The last time she was in class, a guy mentioned his passing without warning which triggered the girl to stand up and leave. Ever since then, she was never seen again. The guy thought that it was his fault, but it turned out that she was going through a lot recently and couldn’t take it anymore. If it was true, then she died on the 9th of January 2018 aged 16 years old.

Ayami was a close friend of mine since Year 1. Interesting fact, she was actually born in Japan and then came to the UK when she was only 4. That summer, she enrolled in my school where we met on the first day. She didn’t speak much English, but luckily I knew a bit of Japanese so we were able to have a connection together. She was a sweet girl that would look out of anyone who looked like that needed help. She even loved to cook and wanted to start her own sweet shop one day where she would make sweet treats such as cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, etc. Fun fact, my blog @yutassweetshop is actually based on her childhood dream and yes NCT bias was also Yuta! It’s a sweet (no pun intended) tribute to the one I called noona, and yes I’ll never stop calling her that until the day I die. Never mind, she’ll still be my noona anyways.

Although yes she had been harassed around his passing when we went to school together, there were other stuff in her life that really pulled the trigger on her head. I could make a separate post talking about Ayami and what she had went through so you would know, but to keep it simple, her father did some horrible things to her as a kid that when she found out, she took her own life out of fear. She was 14.

The reason why I mentioned her was the fact that Jonghyun’s passing was one of the chain of events she had to go through in her life, and you never truly know what someone has gone through already. Even though she didn’t die over it, that still doesn’t make it ok regardless. It’s still an awful thing to do to someone who is grieving by acting like they are complete strangers and treating them like they had never once seen the man before.

Those 3 girls didn’t took their lives because they were obsessive fans, they died because they were HARASSED to suicide. I know a friend’s friend who was also a blinger that took her own life and her family thought it was because she was sad over the passing of Jonghyun. That wasn’t what happened. She was beaten up at school and was told to kill herself ever since she came back from the Christmas holidays. She ended up doing so in her room and she was so close to celebrating her 16th birthday. It was the same as Jonghyun’s. She took her own life 2 days before at age 15.

There were some people in my cousins’ lives that killed themselves too, but I don’t know them very much, but all of them will be missed. Any Shawols that I’ve missed, please leave their names below and tell me one thing you loved about them. You can even talk about their favourite song or albums.

This tormenting K-Pop fans thing needs to stop. I don’t care if you think teenage girls screaming about their BTS biases are cringe, this needs to end. It’s not funny anymore and it’s claiming lives. I could of lost my friend that I met last year just because of the dumb messages of them saying that he was disrespecting a “deadman.” It just seems so tone deaf that really, they’re actually doing the disrespecting and not him.

This is already a difficult month for all of us and I just beg, PLEASE DO NOT HARASS ANY SHAWOLS. Not just in this month where it’s his anniversary, but WHOLE FUCKING YEAR. Please treat us like human beings and stop making us change for someone who barely even knows about the guy until the news broke and now you want to be the fucking hero when you’re not.

Why don’t you do all of us a favour and just fuck off. I’m sure most of us would want that now. This is why some Shawols like me haven’t yet stopped grieving because of how badly people treated us over the years. It has been 5 years, instead of telling us to “let him rest in peace”, how about you let us “grief in peace.”

It’s like what they say, “don’t give his family condolences if you aren’t going to respect his fans.”

Never mind, I did.

Rest in peace to Clem, Sam, Ayami and everyone else who took their lives due to these kinds of people either in real life or online. Rest in peace to the main guy himself, Kim Jonghyun. Thank you so much for taking care of those lost souls for us. Trust me, this was never your fault. Don’t ever blame yourself for any of this. Disgusting pricks like them (the people who harasses Shawols) has always existed since the beginning of time.

Please don’t cry because of the Shawols that went your route but be happy since you made their dreams come true.

Some song and the lyrics that I'd like to dedicate to Jonghyun 💖

"Moonlight Serenade"

"I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade The stars are a glow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming? I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade"

"Fly Me To The Moon by Brenda Lee (Luv this cover)"

"Fly me to the moon And let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is Like on Jupiter and Mars In other words hold my hand In other words darling, kiss me

Fill my heart with song And let me sing for evermore You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words please be true

In other words I love you..."

"Moon River "(One of my favourites and I can imagine him singing this to me as a lullaby 🥹)

Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me

"Blue Moon"

"Blue moon you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold"

I always asociate my tribute songs to Jonghyun with a "moon" in it cuz ya know his blue night radio and his song "moon" 😍🥹

Nah I get it hun. Such pretty songs. Another one is Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars. The lyrics are so touching, I can't even explain it in my own words.
