i spaced out after this was accepted but, basically: if they want to go through with this i'll respect their decision and support them with everything i can. and i can understand why they would feel like working could help them out (considering that taemin is apparently performing at kbs gayo on the 29th) but i personally? feel like if they're going back into work soon it'd be safer for them mentally if it were solo work. minho has been filming that kim jee woon movie since summer and he probably has to get back to it soon (if he hasn't already), taemin has to continue on with the unit, etc.
like haymitch said above: jonghyun's voice was such an integral part of their music and it's not like this is just two or three years of music that we're talking about. it's ten years. hundreds of songs between both japan and korea. in order to go forward with this concert they'd either have: split up his lines between the other members or perform to an audio recording of his voice. and i can't imagine they'd be ready for that so soon? if ever? it'd just be a constant reminder and i know they're all strong but a person can only take so much. they'd also need to perform almost every song that uses choreo with a back up dancer in his place - specifically get the treasure which legitimately has a part of the choreo looped around "this is shinee five and we're right by your side". i just ... don't know. i want them to continue if they feel they need to but i also want them to do it for themselves (and the memory of jonghyun) and not for the sake of either shawols or sm because most shawols that i've spoken to have said they'd understand if they want to just ... go on indefinite hiatus from this point onward. they could barely handle performing without jinki at the dome concerts in september and this? is on another level.
