on one fine day/surprise vacation when they edited that montage in of all the shinee members doing similar things while in separate countries to show their psychic connection

on one fine day/surprise vacation when kibum was being annoying and they all held him down and tickled him (i find this one supremely relatable)

ALL OF THE PIG PILES. WHY DO THEY DO THIS SO OFTEN?

[jonghyvns]

jjong grabbing a taxi for taemin after they were practising late into the night during the predebut days and taking pictures of the taxi’s license plate numbers in case anything happened to taemin

when key said he hoped the child they got on hello baby wouldn’t be problematic and jinki was like “just try raising 5 children like you” 

when shinee went back on knowing bros to yell at the cast for hitting jonghyun and not taking enough care of him while jjong was smiling and hiding his face behind a hammer 

jinki pretending to be asleep and planning on opening his eyes to scare minho when he got closer, but then he felt a blanket being placed over him and he was so touched by minho’s kindness that he just pretended to keep fake sleeping

^ minho’s explanation of that moment by saying his first thought when he got home late at night was “i wonder what onew is doing right now?” so he checked on him and was worried that jinki’s clothes were too thin and that if he let him sleep like that he might catch a cold

taemin ordering cheese katsu instead of chicken katsu for jinki and feeling bad about it so he left and came back with a picture of the chicken from the menu and gave it to jinki to look at while he was eating

when jonghyun started freaking out after minho read a comment saying “jinki is too fucking cute” on a live broadcast

all of them jumping back scared of the toy dog and jonghyun screaming in falsetto

when jonghyun found minho in the crowd at his concert at the exact moment in white t-shirt where he sings “you look so pretty baby!” and pointed at him

kibum saying he would wake up early in the morning when taemin would have to leave for school so he could set out breakfast for him and iron his school uniform because taemin would always wear it wrinkled and he felt bad

when jinki and jjong issued a public apology for using too much detergent for the laundry on hello baby

THE ICONIC KRUMP KRUMP FALL

minho surprising jjong on his final broadcast of blue night and bringing him the softest tissues he owned because he knew jjong would cry and “jonghyun hyung’s skin is precious”

[fairy-francesco]

when ot5 played rock paper scissors to see who would have to join the dancers and key lost but they all ended up joining the dancers anyway.

ot5 at the end of the year show huddling together and taking a picture that key posted on his insta.

jinki crying at sw5 and jonghyun crying at the sight of the other members comforting jinki.

minho calling jonghyun while abroad bc he knew he had trouble sleeping and knew he would be up.

jonghyun remembering his fanboy at the dallas fanmeet from the chicago fanmeet and later the dallas concert and even remembering where he sat.

ot5 during that one japanese block game. you know which one i’m talking about.

[blingblingis]

Taemin comparing them to the power rangers saying “we’re five” at the exact same time Key said “don’t say we’re five.”

Jonghyun running from Taemin who then proceeded to smack him in the back of the head with birthday cake. Jonghyun then putting Taemin in a choke hold and trying to retaliate but falling and dropping the cake instead.

Minho & Jonghyun being total Taemints on Weekly Idol and dancing to Taemin’s solo songs.

Every Halloween costume

Jonghyun and Minho tricking Key into doing aegyo and then Jonghyun double crossing Minho into doing it and then stopped. The fans calling for Jonghyun’s aegyo so he did it rather aggressively. 

Minho eating ramen during Taemin’s solo and Key ratting him out

SHINee playing the age game and Taemin making Jonghyun eat a paper cup

All of them checking to see if their pants ripped, congratulating Key on a job well done and then Minho realizing he ripped his pants and just…..rolling offstage.

Taemin ripping his pants during Sherlock, it being shown on a variety show saying they “blurred it out” but it just had a smiley face over Taemin’s face

Jinki laughing so hard he cried and SHINee assuring everyone he wasn’t actually sad

blue night radio - 150830 jonghyun: i think it’s okay to feel lost in your life. i think it’s okay not to reach that final goal (in your life). you may earn things while being lost or could make something out of it through the emotions you feel. i think it should be your judgement. you don’t have to make someone else judge the satisfaction of your life. i hope that you don’t feel too anxious about feeling lost in your life.

blue night radio - 150115 a letter from listener “j” (the letter) “after listening to blue night every night, i’ve finally found the courage today to write in. i’m one listener (of many) who falls asleep with jjong-d’s “come take a rest tomorrow too” farewell ending each night. to tell the truth, i have synesthesia. it’s a disability that makes you visualize sound as a certain color. as a result, i find it difficult to go places where i can hear too many people’s voices, or too many noises.

when i walk the streets, i usually go around with my earphones plugged in, listening to a song i’m used to. but i still trip over often. it’s become an old habit to close my eyes whenever i listen to music. in middle school, i first heard jjong-d’s music through a recommendation from my sister. it seems like just yesterday when i first thought, “so, there are voices that look like autumn sunlight, too.” but now i’m about to graduate university, and i’ve moved to a quiet neighborhood where i’m listening to blue night now.

these days, i fall asleep watching a golden voice swaying and rippling from the radio. so, i wanted to say, thank you. i’m not sure how to conclude this. every night during your farewell i would think, i hope you get some rest too, jjong-d. my song request is epitone project’s “cactus.” thank you for reading this”

–

(response to the letter) jonghyun: so, you see my voice as the color of gold. how difficult it must be to bear, really.. i get the feeling that it would be confusing to hear many people’s voices and perceive them as colors. and it seems like you avoid those kinds of places because it’s hard to bear, and that you normally try to shut those sounds out a bit. i’m so happy that i can give strength to someone like you through radio, and i hope that, at least during the time you’re listening to the radio, you’ll feel comfortable and your day will end glittering with gold. – (jonghyun then shared a telephone call with “j”.)

jonghyun: to say my voice is the color of gold, first of all i’m so thankful to you for (saying) that. you expressed it in such a luxurious way. “j”: ah, well since we’re on the phone now…, your voice really is that color. jonghyun: what color? “j”: on an autumn day with really clear skies, (the color of) sunlight reflecting on the ground and sparkling. it’s that kind of yellow color. jonghyum: ah, really? “j”: yes. so it’s really, yes…, it’s nice to see. jonghyun: (laughs) thank you. please keep listening to blue night. let’s see, today, wow, thank you so much for saying such nice things today. i think it was a really fun time for the blue night family, and i hope it was a, how should i put it…, warm and pleasant time for “j” nim too. “j”: yes. ah, could i ask you for a favor? jonghyun: yes, yes! “j”: please continue singing (for us) lots in the future. jonghyun: ok. i’ll sing diligently (s/n: jjong was very respectful throughout the call. at the start he asked “j” to clarify how they should describe her condition (e.g. whether they should refer to her condition as “suffering from” synesthesia, or as simply “having” synesthesia. she said the latter). when “j” momentarily seemed hesitant to answer a question he immediately assured her she doesn’t have to answer anything if she’s not comfortable. the listener shared many things about her synesthesia during this phone call, such as the fact that she usually sees piano as a gray tone, and violin as red if performed well. jjong asked how the colors appear to her, i.e. if they look like a kind of haze, or perhaps lines. she says the colors can appear as different textures depending on the source, such as a haze, or bubbles, or even “silk” a friend of hers happens to play piano in such a way that it looks like a “snow-like powder falling through the air.”) (source: sullaem) [note / update: jonghyun confirmed during an interview with pops in seoul that the lyrics to “view” were written in the viewpoint of someone with synesthesia, and most are pretty sure that this conversation / letter led to him finding inspiration for it.]

sleep well, my dear you did such a good job today even though you were alone, even though you were lonely i’m right here (can you hear me?)

blue night radio ♡ 160108 jonghyun: if i marry …, no, not if (laughs). when i get married in the future and have a family i really want to teach my child music. i want them to know how to have a “luxury” of feelings as well. it’s important to know how to have that kind of extravagance on emotions. it’s important to understand the arts. i believe understanding art allows on to understand other people. i want to teach my child about art. (pauses) well, art cannot really be taught (ie: forced to learn, ect.) but i want to at least show my child what art is. (source: thatcoolcatmeow)

blue night radio (first broadcast) ♡ 140204 translation: bluenight0524 (first opening message) jonghyun: blue night, i am jonghyun. one day people asked a really well known photographer: “to take good pictures, what should i do first?” at this question, the photographer opened his mouth with no hesitation: “if you want to take good pictures then you say by taking the lens’ cover off first, right?” first of all: open the lens’ cover. i think those are certainly words i need right now. blue night: dj, shinee’s jonghyun. in those words that can’t be easily imagine i keep having only one thought: will i do well? what if i make mistakes? what can i do to do well? i kept only thinking of the outcome like that, only worrying about the outcome and, since i only focused on the result, i couldn’t come up with answers. that’s why, from now on, i will only think about this: just try it for now, also face it and we’ll see. the 3rd of february, between today and tomorrow, this is blue night. 

 [..] 

(first closing message) jonghyun: today i became blue night’s dj. it was a day with trembling and breathlessness. i don’t know how time went by. however, i will make one promise to you, everyone: if it’s possible i’d like to stay on this chair for a long time. while crying and laughing i’d like to treasure your stories and your daily life together, forever. piling up every day into becoming a life time …, i will make a precious time with blue night’s family. for me now, every day on this chair, just like an ordinary office worker, i should come and leave on the appointed time, right? that’s why the ending song i prepared for today is shinchirrem’s “the way back home from work”. well …, ah, i’m shaking. when this song ends i’ll be going back home from work, right? until now it has been blue night. i am jonghyun.

blue night radio ♡ 170218 translation: fantaemsie jonghyun: a long time ago, when entering an elevator …, when i just got in that elevator and looked at my refection somehow it felt unfamiliar. my own reflection felt unfamiliar. back then i wrote this occurrence into a song. [note: he’s referring to “elevator”.]

blue night radio ♡ 160113 jonghyun: when i think of my mom in my head …, her age stopped at thirty six. she was in university at that age and (because of that) she’s always at that age in my head. there was a time when i got sad because of her. there was a time when i stayed abroad for a long time due to a schedule and came back home. i came back and my mom was in the hospital. she had received surgery on her knee. the surgery had been scheduled in advance before i left, but she didn’t tell me about it. so, she received the surgery and was hospitalized for the recovery while i was away. i came back and saw her in the hospital and she looked so … tired and much older than how i see her in my head. i felt really sorry, but a little bit disappointed too. i thought she should’ve told me as i’m her son but, on the other hand, i knew she didn’t tell me because i was going abroad for work. when she was younger …, (pause) no, when i was younger, she used to tell me every little thing but since i’ve gotten older and have had more things to take care of that are related to work i think she doesn’t tell me everything so i don’t have to worry about things that happen within the family. looking at her in the hospital …, it made me experience a lot of complex feelings. although we cannot stop our parents from aging, or getting sick or going through troubles …, i think we should try to delay the process as much as we can. (ie: by helping them out when they need help, ect.) (source: thatcoolcatmeow)

END OF A DAY (하루의 끝) - JONGHYUN (종현)

[jojongbum]

OH MY GOD KIBUM

[fyjjong]

the story by jonghyun (day x) ♡ 151018 (after singing his line of ballad songs which he cried a lot during.) jonghyun: thank you. thank you, really. i barely managed to hold back the tears during “미안해 (i’m sorry)” but when i sang “하루의 끝 (the end of a day)”… as soon as i took my hat off and reappeared on stage and started singing…, wow. i can’t see your faces when i’m singing “미안해 (i’m sorry)” because there’s no lighting in the audience but lights come back on for “하루의 끝 (the end of a day)” and i could see your faces. to be honest, i recognize faces of a lot of fans. although i don’t know their names i’m thinking: “ah, that person came today, that person too. my mom came, my noona too. aigoo, taesun came and also taesun’s girlfriend …” i could see each and everyone’s faces. it was sad…, no, i was happy. i felt really thankful so tears started to come out. also, at the end bit, wow: did you guys plan to sing together? [translator’s note: when jonghyun couldn’t finish singing “하루의 끝 (the end of a day)” fans sang together in tears] fans: no~. jonghyun: wow, that’s amazing…, don’t cry. nobody is still crying, right? don’t cry.
