A compilation of idols, singers, actors and more people from the industry saying goodbye to Jonghyun


2PM’s Jun.K wrote: “I’m so heartbroken. How much worry and pain must have been hidden behind the bright image that we saw. I hope that he rests in peace.”



2AM’s Jo Kwon posted on Twitter & Instagram: “I am so heartbroken, I am really so heartbroken... How lonely it must have been with such loneliness and emptiness that couldn’t be filled up despite all the love you received, you did well, and I’m sorry.
A shining boy has become a star. May you rest in peace.”


Actress and former Hello Venus member Yoo Ara posted on Instagram, “Jonghyun, I still feel like I’m in a dream. Even looking at this photo now, it seems like just a few days ago… I feel like I’ll be able to see you again while smiling. The fact that that’s not true is so hard… You were the best musician, and the most warmhearted person, and someone who seemed like both a senior artist that I admired and a friend.
You were a true musician who filled every moment with music since I came to know you ten years ago, as well as someone who wanted to make happy music. We will never forget you. So this is how it feels when your heart is being ripped apart… This is so hard, I can’t take it. It hurts so much that it feels like my heart is being torn out with a knife. He was one of the few people whom I could share my feelings with since I began doing this job. Jonghyun, don’t go… don’t go.. I’ll pray that you rest in peace. Jonghyun, thank you. Thank you even just for existing.”



Former-Royal Pirate James:



DAY6’s Jae tweeted:


Kim Seongjoon (PPB Studios) posted a very old picture with Jonghyun:
"My beloved dongsaeng. Time passed by this fast? We were both so young back then. I saw your face for the last time and greeted you for the last time... the fact that this returning path feel so much cold must not be only because of the weather. How much will i miss you. I remember when you would come to the front of my place to go for a beer because you never wanted to go home after your radio show ended. This time we would share ideas about our future and we would imagine how you could be if you weren't an entertainer .... it felt like a joke back then but why just now i learn those were things you always dreamed of. I'm so sorry. If I had known those kakao messages we exchanged last week were the last time we would be in contact, i would have inmediatly run to you, i would make you smile and shared many more stories with you. I will keep many regrets and sorrow inside my heart. My beloved dongsaeng who always shined & sparkled. I was always so proud of you. I love you"



15&’s Park Jimin wrote:


15&’s Baek Yerin shared on Instagram: “I can’t believe that such a kind, warmhearted, sensitive, and considerate person has left us.. He was a great senior artist that I talked with music about and who shared music with me.. I am going to miss him so, so much. He was someone who shone so brightly that I wanted to be like him, but I will always pray for him. Thank you for all the music that you gave us.”


Jay Park tweeted:


Former-BP Rania Alex Raid:


FTISLAND’s Lee Hong Ki (and chocoball member) wrote: “I’m so sad, my hands are shaking. We were very close because we debuted at a similar time. I don’t know what it was that gave you a hard time, but I hope that there are only good things for you in that place, Jonghyun.”



FTISLAND’s Choi Min Hwan (another chocoball member) also shared a picture of himself, Lee Hong Ki, Jonghyun, and SHINee’s Taemin. Minhwan simply wrote: "Hyung ...."


CNBLUE’s Lee Jong Hyun posted photos with Jonghyun to his Instagram, as well as a video of a performance of the song “Words Cannot Describe” by Kazumasa Oda.... he also changed his profile picture.
“You’ve worked hard. You’ve really gone through a lot. Goodbye.”

(He's one of the few people that was seen staying until late nigth on Jonghyun memorial hall, next to close family, SHINee members, Lee Soo Man and Taeyeon)


CNBLUE Jung Yonghwa wrote : "I sincerely pray that in a place filled with happiness and joy you will become a star that shines brightly for yourself"


Baek A Yeon shared screenshots of herself and Jonghyun on stage at “Inkigayo” and wrote: “I still can’t forget your warm heart and kindness when I won for the first time on a music show and you congratulated me while throwing confetti.. I hope that you will let go of all the things that gave you a difficult time and pain, and rest peacefully in that place.”


Tony Hong on instagram:
"I’m so stunned. Tonight is very... difficult. I really don’t want to have to say Rest In Peace
Endlessly sad and regrettable news. Why do the gods hurriedly go after geniuses? It’s too early for that. He’s at an age where all he needed was to receive more love and share even more with fans"



Former Miss A Jia wrote on weibo:



Rapper DinDin wrote:
"I wasnt friend with Jonghyunnie hyung, but oddly when we run into each other at the health club at the same hour. Every time Jonghyunnie hyung always smiled and greeted me first and took good care of me. I personally always wanted to become closer so i would hang out beside him and share conversations. On days when i went to health club i would go on happy mood wondering: "will he be there today? ... What should i talk about today?" My heart hurts so much at this sad news. I cant believe i wont greet you or see you again in my next visit to health club. You went through a lot up until now. I will never forget you cool appareances and your warm greetings... I wanted to become closer to you. Rest in peace"


Uriyull dancer who was sm dancer for years and used to promote with him
"There are only fun and good memories
Thanks to you, I really laughed a lot...
I really liked being able to share the stage together with you.
I saw it all and yet, it still doesn't feel real..
I will pray so you will be comfortable and happy
You really, really worked hard.. Get there safely, Jonghyun-ah"


Actor Kim Jihoon wrote:
"Heaven must really be envious of people with lots of talent.. Yesterday & today, a corner of my heart is too heavy.. At the choice that can't be taken back, what comfort can we be..
Please, I hope you can be happy with a light heart in that place…"


BTOB Peniel tweeted:


Sunmi on her instagram:
"Rather than saying "have strength" or "I understand" a hundred times, I think he would've held my hand, embraced me and waited for me"



Roy Kim posted: "He was a delicate, pure and warm flower who should not have been broken"


Crush made a instagram story:
"Hyung, how hard it must have been.. I am really sorry, again, I'm sorry.. Rest in peace"


Loco made a instagram story with this video of Jjong singing his song on Blue Night Radio:"Rest In Peace"



Some idols reacted after attending Jonghyun memorial:

F(x) Amber wrote:
"I was able to laugh thanks to oppa’s jokes. I was able to dry my tears thanks to oppa’s advice. And I got courage thanks to oppa’s courage. When I was embarrassed, oppa didn’t dismiss me, he understood my poor Korean and he stood up for me. Honesty, I felt proud whenever people joked that me and oppa looked like twins. Because I wanted to because an amazing person like oppa.. Thank you. I’m very thankful to have become oppa’s dongsaeng. I’ll become an “Ambel” oppa can be proud of. Our Jjong oppa, you’ve done well. I love you"


SNSD Sooyoung:
"In that small basement practice room, your voice that I could hear from the room next door became a huge echo that would full a huge performance venue like this and because of this, I was so proud and you went through a lot. My gaze would remain on you for a particularly long time when you sat opposite me. That day, I thought I might become a sunbae who would be good and adult-like so I pretended to be cool. That day, that moment when I grazed by you... I should have told you.
I was always in awe of you, I was also envious and embarrassed.
We all cherish you a lot, we really don't want to let you go but what more is there to say. You worked hard. You really, really went through a lot."


B1A4 CNU wrote:
"I can't sleep since my heart feels heavy.. Having been able to live in the same generation, listen to his music, and work together as artists was really an honour. I sincerely admired you. Sunbaenim, I hope you'll rest comfortably"


Boa shared a letter about him:
"Jonghyun-ah who would always visit waiting room when i had a performance... why did we always greet each other with stories of work when our meetings were so short ... why did we only talked about how we can work better instead of how you and I were living? ... why did we only think about that?? ... as a noona and sunbae to you ...
Its really dificult to let you go at the thought that i had a lot of shortcomings.
It was hard to believe today i was in the same place than you but couldn't see you
You... you could have told me at least once. Regardless, i wont blame you. The beautiful lyrics and music you have left behind will comfort many people for a long time and you will be remembered. Although our time together was short, artist Jonghyun-ah who was more impressive than anyone else. I will wish in that place you will only sing and create music intended for your happiness. You worked hard.... you went through a lot....
I will always remember 2017.12.18 "


Jaejin first posted a simple picture with jjong but after attending his memorial he added some text:

"I didnt knew a thing when i was young, but the many happy memories i had next to you still remain fresh till today. Looking at your face in that moment, i felt like i became a 18 years old teenager again. A wave of emotions i couldnt explain flooded me, the warm sunshine ... the me from those times didnt know they were beautiful times indeed. You worked so hard and you did really well.
Have a good rest"



Some SM former idols reacted aswell:

Luhan posted on his personal weibo
“I don’t want to believe it. Rest In Peace, the best lead vocal🙏🙏🙏🕯🕯🕯”

SES Shoo wrote on her private instagram :
(her fans provided screepcaps)
"When you think about it our job could be the most lonely and difficult job.
but we ar humans too.
As a colleague as a hoobae ...
why does my heart hurts so much like this? i hope you are happier and smiling in there
You worked really hard.

[Shoo quotes Jonghyun last letter]

Jonghyun last words... feels like such a regrettable death
If it was that difficult to him
I want to carefully share my thoughts about how instead of job/promotions/work being the matter at hand, his full concentration should have been on treatment. Regarding problems he couldn't cope on his own ... i really want to think he reached his hand out for someone else. If he told someone he's having a lot of difficulties, if he told ... things are really dificult .... they might responded: why?
Perhaps I might responded like that too.
But i think that's something nobody would know for sure or understand beside himself"


The Grace Stephanie Kim on Jonghyun:
"Jonghyunnie, who was born with many talents so he would've spent his days more abundantly and deeply than anyone else. It's late to see you off but I will quietly tell you that you worked hard. Do music that you want to do. Sing your heart out and I hope you are comfortable in that place.
Rest in peace"


Tao wrote his instagram:
"I still cant believe it ... first time I went to Korea and the weather was really cold, that's when i heard for the first time "Hot Times" It left such a beautiful memory. Because that song, that stage .. I wanted to quickly go on stage myself. Thanks for being my strenght. Thank you for being my first hyung and sunbae when i arrive in Korea. Right now my feelings are .... impossible to describe"


SES Eugene wrote:
"I'm sad... My heart hurts... I didn't know him personally but how difficult it must have been... To run diligently looking only ahead... He must not have known how to rest... Loneliness that doesn't show well, buried under flashiness..."

Yes, he did touched many people. The one with Rapper DinDin really says it all how he even treat someone that is not close to him with that bright smile each and everytime. I feel like since he is genuinely a really nice and wonderful person, his death really hit people the hardest way possible since they realised how much he has been suffering before taking that decision to end his own life.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

"He was a delicate, pure and warm flower who should not have been broken"
This quote broke me god and BoA saying you could of told me at least once. I'm crying again he was so loved, he still is loved :(

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that quote really got to me.

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

Such a beautiful post. For so many colleagues in the music industry to post about him speaks about what kind of person he was and his influence. I felt emotional reading James (Royal Pirates) post, knowing that he was also in a deep dark/lonely place and he also spoke up about it. Not only as an artist but as a human I feel that Jonghyun had a beautiful warmth to him.

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

thank you for this post op, you did a great job! <3

i am so thankful for everyone who was able to dedicate a tweet or an instagram post to jonghyun these past few days. it's not easy to grieve, especially not publicly. he touched so many lives. i wish he had understood how loved he was.

[rivains.livejournal.com]

it's hard to acknowledge the love people have for you when you find it hard to love yourself. depression is an evil thing.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

He was beloved and great in life, but I also hope that his death is given meaning for beyond those who cared about him, be it family, friends and fans. Something must be done to change the mindset of mental health and illnesses in S.Korea. Everyone talks about wanting for change to happen, but nothing really does happen; I hope this is a wake up all, albeit a grim one.

I apologize if this comes across as crass; I can't find the right words to express myself at the moment. Jonghyun has held a special spot in my heart for a while that's difficult to explain; it feels as if not long from now, we'll still get an update about him; a new ig update, news of his comeback or another twitter post.

Thanks for the post, op.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

dont feel sorry because that's exactly what i expect too ... if kpop dont start changing drastically after this its gonna feel like all jjong tragedy was in vain

its a mourning post in that way too
i loved to make posts about jjong (all shinee members in general) but knowing this is the last jjong-themed post i get to make i wil miss having new songs/collabs/variety shows/photoshoots/sns updates/interviews/even scandals from him
more than anything i'm gonna miss having posts about all the things only people like him would do.... i'm gonna miss how jjong always stood out for the right reasons 💔

[ontamitaco.livejournal.com]

You did well Jonghyun, more than well. You may be gone but you will live forever through your music and through the people whose lives you've touched.

Has anyone else from SHINee said anything (apart from Key)? Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking out of morbid curiosity but because I'm honestly worried, I accidentally watched a bit of the funeral and it was devastating seeing the guys. I just wish everyone has all the emotional support they need because if as a fan I'm having a hard time coming to terms with his death I can't even begin to imagine how they are feeling.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

nothing so far. there's heavy speculation floating around that taemin is going to be attending kbs gayo on the 29th. likely due to personal decision because sm allowed irene, seulgi, suho and yoona step down from mc and special stage duties at some of them. i feel like we'll hear from? or about? them sooner than later but i don't know how soon. it probably depends on when they're ready. it's difficult because minho and taemin don't really have a way that they can reach out to fans about it ... you know, if they want to? neither have personal public sns accounts and jinki would get crucified by netizens if he tried to post right now because they're still reeling from his scandal. i think the best bet would be shinee's official board but who knows.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

http://fyjjong.tumblr.com/tagged/we-love-you-forever-jonghyun if any of you wanted to see more (that were posted after soompi put together that article or missed in general) i have most of them in that tag on fyjjong. there's like ... seventeen pages to go through. he was so loved. and i still have a queue for more to post into tomorrow. there's a lot included in there that come from lesser known korean artists like his close friends from blue night, and there's also some personal photos that his non-celebrity friends have posted since he passed

[nrafx.livejournal.com]

I deleted my tumblr but I've been reading the posts on fyjjong every day. It's one of the few sites I feel safe visiting and I'm very grateful to you, not only for the past week but also for the work you've put into it these past few years. Thank you. I hope you've been taking care of yourself.

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

beautiful, sad words from many people who admired and loved jonghyun. because him and shinee were my first kpop group ever and they gave me sooo much happiness, it feels like i’ve lost a close friend. ah, rest in paradise jonghyun ❤️

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this OP. It was sad looking through this but at the same time it's nice to see how many lives Jonghyun has touched.

god ... i'm ...

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

This is just... </3 Great job OP!

[oh-folk.livejournal.com]

I'm an atheist too, and I definitely have this desire/hope that there is some sort of peace once someone dies... Especially if it's related to depression, or any sort of mental illness.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I think the saddest part of it all is that he is genuine a really wonderful person -- he touched the lives of people that he encounter with his kindness and bright smile whether they are famous or not and it stayed with them for a very long time. And he genuinely tried his best to be happy and always appear happy and give encouragement to people around him when they are having a hard time when he himself is having a harder time with his depression. I think that is just the saddest thing -- he tried very hard to fight his demons but at the end, he thinks death is the only solution to relief the pains he feels inside.. ;'(

[otraera.livejournal.com]

Yesterday i was able to hear shinee’s songs (the title tracks) without crying and honestly it was so comforting. I was singing and dancing while packing my suitcases.

also shinees discography is fucking flawless

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Easily the best discography in k-pop

[fleurist.livejournal.com]

it's so trivial but i find dindin's message so sweet; we really do have the ability to touch each other's lives in these seemingly insignificant ways... it's a lovely thought.

as someone who has suffered with depression for 8 years now (god it's been so long..) i understand too well that sometimes love just isn't enough no matter how loved we are or how much we love in return or how much we want it to be enough. it's devastating. i hope he's at peace now.

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

i keep re reading dindin's message. the fact that he was excited to see him and would try to prepare conversations beforehand its just so sweet. we don't know how important we are to other people

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i find myself still trying to absorb the fact that he's passed? like, i know it happened, but it seems like a dream or something. and that's as somebody who only really paid attention as a "casual fan."

he really did touch a lot of people's lives. i sincerely hope he's at peace now. :(

[sonagi.livejournal.com]

Sunmi's post... 💔

[zionarmin.livejournal.com]

Gracias OP for this post.
It's truly amazing to see how many lives Jjong positively impacted.
I miss him so much, but these messages have been really comforting to read. To know he was loved. To know he was truly kind, compassionate and good is... ahh.

He did well. He did so well.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

This is a comforting post. You are loved jjong hope you are in peace

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

You did well Jonghyun




And I'm back to crying so I'm out, I should know better than to come into these posts but it's both heartwarming and sad and it makes things all too real

[sacryde.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to think of happy memories to help deal with all this sadness, and one of the first things I thought of was when they were on Hello Baby. After that, I bought the same kigarumi he wore, and have been wearing it all over the house for the last two days. But then I remembered his catch phrase from the show, "Is this the reality you wanted?" and just, no. This is not the reality I wanted.

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

"People will remember who you made them feel" is so true in his case from people who werent close with him but recall how he always treated them with love and kindness. To fans like me who feel warmth everytime we hear him sing.

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

reading through all of these was so hard. I hadn't cried much for the past couple of days but suddenly I find myself sobbing again. I have long known he had many friends, fans and admirers but reading so many sincere words from so many people makes my heart hurt in a whole new way.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

thank you OP for your hardwork in compiling these. I guess reading all these dedications afforded us some sort of closure, knowing that he had lead a fulfilling and great life, albeit one that was too short.

once again, it's truly heartening to see support from so many people, be it artistes or even omona.
