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.

ia that it should be solo work if they want to continue with their schedules

not only is jonghyun's voice integral and that it'd be hundreds of songs + choreos, but it's also that to even incorporate that many changes for a tour that's barely two months away, they'd have to practice so much and that in itself, aside from the logistics, will be so exhausting - both mentally and physically and i just want them all to be able to get enough time to mourn and grieve properly, to find their footing and slowly work towards achieving at least a somewhat stable happiness, if that's possible. and as much as i'd support and respect their decision either way, i really just want them, like you said, to do it for themselves and jonghyun in the end, not for whatever nonexistent duty to the fans they may feel they have

exactly. someone else said this in here but their choreo is very ... centric on five, and not even in the way that's easy to work around. you need five people to do the propeller move in everybody, you need five for the star move in get the treasure. jonghyun is the center part of that arm lifting move in sherlock and he's the one carried at the start of married to the music. sure, you can get a back up dancer to cover and they've done that in the past but it's always been because one of the members had an overlapping schedule, not because one died. sigh.

right? even beginning to tackle the choreography and vocals issue would be so exhausting and draining, i want them to have time to really think through all this and take care of themselves first.

also i didn't get to reply in the other post because i took a break from omona, but i'm glad and proud that you're trying your best and the fyjjong blog has really been helping me, i've been visiting it a lot even though i've closed my tumblr. i hope you've been taking better care of yourself these days, and just lots of love and hugs for you ♡♡♡

plus it's not like this is some random festival that they're attending. it's a dome concert. dome concerts are always set up to be a minimum of two and a half hours, and they'll be happening less than two months after his passing. maybe at that point they'll be going about their lives the best they can without him, but it'd likely be a shock to their system having to attribute that to their career as well. it'd probably be like having to mourn him twice over.

but. ah. ♡♡♡♡ i really appreciate you saying that. fyjjong is basically... the only reason why i've gone on tumblr in the last year, and i felt i owed it to my followers to be there for them. honestly i think i'm feeling the best today than i have since it happened but i still need to do better for myself. ;;

and it'll be several dome concerts? to perform that over and over again, in such a large setting, to go through all the changes, even thinking about it is just tiring. i hope they can reach a decision which is the best for all of them ;;

ah i really wish that you didn't feel like you owed anyone anything ;; what you're doing is wonderful but i really hope that now you don't feel like you have to do something for others via fyjjong. and i'm glad that you're feeling the best today since it happened. take your time, the steps will come slowly, one by one <3

I didn't even think about the carry opening of MTTM. That hurts.

And Jonghyun is belting at that part of the song in Sherlock so thinking of someone else standing there is just...

it's just... i don't know. it's not just jonghyun either - all the members have a very specific uniqueness that they attribute to the group and having to either wipe one fifth of that out or work around it ... god.
