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 honestly don't know how to feel all about this. Part of me wants them to just do things for themselves, rest and do something therapeutic for themselves. Fans will understand, and I hope they don't feel preassure at all to make concerts just because they have to (looking at you SM). If they don't want to, if they don't feel ready yet since February is too soon, they don't have to. If they have to stay at home, looking up the sky, that's what they should do.
But part of me will always want more SHINee. They were and will always be the band I listened to when I was having a bad day, when I was having the happiest day. I went through college and bad relationships with people and myself with SHINee, so I'm being selfish and don't want them to stop...but without Jonghyun...he was such a staple for the band...
idk, I'm all over the place.
I didn't cry when I read the news, I didn't cry when it was announced how it happened, I didn't cry when I saw the instagram posts. But, as soon I saw Key, I broke down. I cried myself to sleep and a huge pain in my chest started.

I probably shouldn't be talking about this, but it brought me bad feelings back, so I just wanted to let it out....I hope I didn't bother anyone

You're not bothering anyone. <3 We've all been sharing our feelings throughout these posts.

all of this brought back feelings the place i was 3 years ago. I was so unhappy, I was in a very, extremely toxic relationship that I wanted to just disappear.
I hated myself, and the person I was with made me feel like I had to hate myself even more. That my parents were better off without me and that I was the one that was making him unhappy. He made me feel ugly, weak...and honestly, if it wasn't for SHINee, who for just a couple of minutes allowed me to forget about everything, I wouldn't be here today, feeling healthy and without a person like that in my life

I'm so sorry you went through that but I'm also really happy you made it out. I'm sorry this is bringing those feelings back.

it's fine, it's just that SHINee has always been my "safe place", no matter what, even if I didn't care about Kpop anymore, I would still care about them. now all of this happened and then I saw the guy the other day...i broke

seconding that you're not bothering anyone. We're all processing this stuff and I think a lot of us have very similar feelings.

thank you. I hit me extremely hard, but later than some people. It just brought me back when I was in my extremely dark place,
