for those unaware: shinee is slated to hold a small series of dome concerts in february. the concerts were set up in a way to visibly celebrate their past five tours and albums in japan, and possibly serve as their final dome concerts before onew's enlistment. shinee world japan, their japanese fan club, released a similar statement late on the 23rd and this seemed to be the follow up by sm. speculation is that the statement was released because registration for fan club lottery ticketing was meant to come to a close yesterday.

that is...infuriating isn't even a word that captures what it is that that is. I can only hope that whichever netizens are saying that are being down voted to hell and back.

tbqh when my friend texted me on Monday morning telling me one of SHINee had died of suicide, my mind immediately went to Onew, given the scandal + his history of depression + netizens' commentary. I can't actually believe those people, people who want members to kill themselves, are shawols or even decent human beings in any way, shape or form. And you're absolutely right that these two events have nothing to do with each other. I don't think SM is prohibiting their idols from getting mental health assistance, and in fact think that Jonghyun showed us pretty concrete evidence that it was actively being made accessible to them (although unfortunately his specific doctor was a fucking quack). I hope they ramp that up one step further and insist that Onew gets some + any counseling he might need re: substance abuse, especially in the wake of this, and that he's armed with the tools he needs to ignore any idiots voicing their shit opinions anonymously from some PC Bang somewhere.

everyone has always had their worries about jinki. like it's not just you or me. my good friend is jinki biased and she told me that she was terrified that he'd do something after people started to tear into him in the last month and she's still terrified that he'll end up seeing something awful and believe that what's being said is true. no one can keep him from going on the internet but it'd be in his best interest to avoid it for awhile, tbh.
