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.

i have no idea what they could do. jonghyun’s voice was such an integral part of their music... i cant imagine them feeling at ease taking up the task of covering his parts. i think the fans need to respect any decision that comes out of the discussions. i understand why the dome concerts are important, but these men have been through so much.

I think that's so important - for fans to respect their decision and remain supportive, however SHINee chooses to go forward.
