SHINee’s Jonghyun touches a fan’s heart at fan sign event with personal note

A SHINee fan shared a touching personal experience with member Jonghyun during a fan sign event after he went far and beyond to cheer her up.

On May 27th through the online community board DC Gallery, the fan revealed that she was ashamed of her name and did not want to share it with SHINee. Coming up to Jonghyun to get a signature, she initially told him not to include a name prompting him to ask her, “Then what would you like me to write?”

The fan goes on to explain that due to her shock, “Suddenly, my mind went blank so I asked him to write my actual name,” she writes on her post. She then continues to explain that she had wanted to tell him that his radio show Blue Night had given her much comfort but before she could go further, burst into tears soon after mentioning the show.

“Why are you crying?” he had asked her, but the manager present had pressed her to move along the line and ended up in Onew‘s fan sign line soon after.

She continued, “I briefly made contact with Jjong and he mouthed out the words ‘Don’t cry’...even when I was getting Jinki (Onew)’s autograph, Jjong poked me in the arm when he had a break from his line and told me not to cry...I was really having a mental breakdown so I couldn’t tell SHINee all I wanted to say that I planned and went back to my seat to wait, then Jjong wrote something and a staff member brought the note over for him...”

“Though I wasn’t crying because of my name but because of SHINee ㅠ It’s embarrassing, but at the time it felt like all the times that I’ve gotten hurt because of my name were suddenly getting healed.”

The original poster then posted up the note from Jonghyun, which read, “Don’t cry. It’s a pretty name. It’s other people who are foolish. You are incredible.”




Let's celebrate Jonghyun's kindness with a video of him working View's choreo like no other (I honestly think it's because he's so tiny - for some reason it works well scaled down!):

jjong is too pure for this world, we don't deserve him. also damn that gif

i was thinking about why jjong (and minho) seem to work the choreo for view better than taemin or key. at least from where i stand. and after way too much time studying the individual fancams that mcountdown likes to put up (bless), i come to some sort of conclusion.

i'm too lazy to reference time stamps of videos, but in the case of jonghyun, his movements always read "larger" to me. does that make sense?i first noticed this in the sherlock dance practice where jonghyun was lifting his legs the highest amongst the five for the stompig in the chorus. but for view, if taemin or key were to do a motion that moves their legs, jjong would move his farther out or higher than the both of them. maybe it's because he's shorter, he has to compensate with larger motions to cover the same amount of space? or maybe it's just a jonghyun thing?? if you watch the chorus, jonghyun moves his legs and hips more sharply than taemin (who has more subtle smooth movements) and key (who is a very controlled dancer imo).

for minho, it's mostly limbs and because he's 120%. his longer limbs makes the choreo really work for him. he also moves his legs more in the chorus and practically squats when he does the hip move.

ita! This choreo goes really well with jjong and minho.

Moments like these are great, when a fan is genuinely touched being in the presence of their idol and said idol feels that and does something kind in return. We need more of this.

He is so sweet! He just seems so genuine all the time, which is refreshing.

[aibajunior.livejournal.com]

He's such an unique person. Especially in the idol world. He's very human and shows that to fans. I think most idols would have brushed off her crying as just her being a crazy fan, but he saw it was something else. That's super sweet, my heart is meltinggggg.
