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.

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
