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.

Right. They shouldn't do anything just because they think we want it. If their heart isn't in it we'll know and it's not worth it. Plus I don't want them to be like... permanently traumatized by coming back too soon.

exactly. plus if they did they wouldn't just be dealing with the obvious but they'd have to be in front of 55,000+ heartbroken shawols and that's a lot... of sadness to have to face so soon after.

Yeah, it just seems like it would be bad for everyone, emotionally.

EDIT: And they need to not rush this decision, like they need to take their time because with emotions being so raw what they want to do today might not be what they want to do a week from now or in February.

see. that's what i'm afraid of: it being rushed. sm are saying that they're taking the thoughts and feelings of the others into account but ... i know that, at the end of the day, it's still a job and it's a still a business and that if it's not happening it'll prob have to be decided upon in the next week or two. because if they are going through with it they'd have to begin going through the ... painful task of figuring everything out probably around the middle of january.

Yeah. It's just bad because I can just imagine them saying "it hurts now, but we should be fine by February, let's do it." And then February rolls around and they're not ready.

Also, sorry for all the responses. I tell you to take a break but then I keep talking to you!

oh no. don't worry! i'm fine with talking to people. even if it's about... sad stuff at least it's a way to not keep it in my head, iynwim?

but yeah. that's another worry of mine: that they'll feel this boost of adrenaline to go through with it and then it'll hit them either when they're practicing or during the first concert.
