jonghyun announced (while crying for fifteen straight minutes) during his live broadcast of blue night radio today that he'll be leaving his post as dj on april 2nd. though he said that he'll come back in the future the tone of the entire reveal was kind of final sounding (but, then again, he's emotional so who knows). he stated that the decision is due to his health and "various reason", such as schedules. (for example: shinee are going to be doing fifteen concerts, with two or three every weekend, throughout the course of april.) information is kind of fragmented for now, but it'll likely become clearer in the coming weeks. that's why the (?) is in the topic title, lol. no one knows if it's for good or for a few months, or. he celebrated his third year anniversary as dj at the start of last month.

ur resident shawol and fyjjong admin is pretty bummed right now, guys. this show meant a lot to him and he was audibly devastated when sharing the news with listeners. there's no word on who's going to replace him yet, but it's def not going to be the same.

hey man!!! this show is a safe space for him and a place that's helped a lot with his mental health so i get him being upset lol

I get him being upset too but...why during the show? Imagine tuning in for a radio show and listening to the show's host crying (and for 15 minutes straight no less), I really doubt they'd have the same reception.

i figure because: it's a late night show and it has a really specific listener base (a lot being made up of shawols) who know that he's pretty emotional, tbh. even casual listeners are aware because media reported on it before so he's pretty comfortable with being open with his emotions on it. but he doesn't cry often on there - like i can only think of maybe three times he's cried on air in all the time he's been on the show and it was either related to sentimentality or a tough topic. it was a spur of the moment thing and he really wasn't sobbing. it was more like it was obvious he was choked up but he kept it together pretty well considering that it's... him.
