january 7th. three years ago today, in 2015, “déjà-boo” was released. originally meant to be a pre-release single leading up to the official release of jonghyun’s debut solo album, base, the song unexpectedly took south korea by storm both digitally and on music shows, leading sm entertainment to make it an official second leading single alongside his original debut title, “crazy (guilty pleasure)”. not only was this was a first for the company, but it also marked the first time that an artist under their roster had two promotional title tracks. this was also a prolific moment as the song was both composed and written by jonghyun, unlike “crazy (guilty pleasure)”, which he had just penned the lyrics to. the song was co-composed and featured zion.t, a close and personal friend of jonghyun. upon it’s digital release, “déjà-boo” debuted at #1 on the melon digital chart and proceeded to remain in the spot for over a day after release, hitting the realtime roof at one point. it also took the first place spot on all other digital charts (with the exception of cyworld, which sm did not distribute music to), giving it an unofficial all-kill. the song proceeded to remain in the top twenty on melon into it’s fourth week of release and remained on the chart overall for up to three months in total. on gaon, it debuted at #1 on the weekly digital chart, a first for an sm soloist, and at #3 on the monthly digital chart for the month of january 2015. though it sadly did not end up making the year end digital chart it ranked #64 on the half year chart. on top of this, “déjà-boo” also brought in eight music show wins for jonghyun, the first being presented to him by minho on music core on january 17th, 2015. in celebration of this incredible release korean shawols have began the hashtag, #데자부3주년, which took the first place on the all cities korea realtime trending chart as soon as the day turned over into january 7th.

Jonghyun’s Blue Night Radio

ALL of Jonghyun’s Blue Night Radio broadcasts are available to listen to on the MBC website here and may also be downloaded as podcasts from iTunes.

On the MBC website it includes all the Blue Night broadcast up today, so you need to look at the bottom and go to page 18, and choose 04/02 for Jonghyun’s last Blue Night Broadcast, you will then find the rest, going backwards on pages 19, 20, 21, etc. You’ll have to go all the way back to page 134 and 02/03/2014 to find Jjong’s very first broadcast if you would rather start there. :)

So go and listen, anytime you miss, or need to hear his soothing voice :)

thank you so much @jjongoholic for the link :)

I just want to bring this back to spread happiness and positivity. Happiness and positivity. Those are the reasons why I chose to be in SHINee World. The past few months have been extremely rough because it shook the core of why I am part of it.

I still grieve. There is still pain. But I will choose to rise with it and take the lessons I learned from it to be a better person- for myself and others.

The core of the lessons i learned is to Spread Love. We love different groups, different genres, different people. We are from different backgrounds, of different races and religion. We have different principles, traditions. No one is more superior than the other. The right thing to do is to love, the wrong thing is to hate and this is just being interpreted or applied across different levels but it is, to its core, the same.

Let us not make our differences break us apart, rather unite us even more. Jonghyun, the genius man that he is, once said "acknowledge over understanding". I had struggled in the past to try to grasp what he meant. I see it clearly now. Acknowledge is to accept that there may be a different view than yours without the need for one to justify it. You do that, and the rest will follow.

some jonghyun moments i never want to forget

standing up for lgbt students and minorities at large by amplifying their voices, but doing so respectfully (dec 2013)

reflecting on his appreciation for hero movies… ‘i have to protect my world’ (mar 2013)

receiving boxes of listerine after a joke comparing his deja-boo suit colors to listerine flavors went viral, during base promotions (feb 2015)

comforting a fan who was self-conscious about her name with a handwritten note at a shinee fansign (may 2015)

going to comfort a crying key during shinee’s concert at tokyo dome, but ending up crying himself (early 2015)

speaking playfully with a male listener on blue night radio (may 2015)

mentioning his gratitude for fans and listeners in creating a safe space with blue night radio (july 2015)

discussing his conversation with taemin about “gender roles, prejudices and negative views about artists, etc.” when writing pretty boy for taemin ft. kai on blue night radio (aug 2015)

personally supporting radio guest baek young ok on blue night radio in her efforts to bring sanitary pads to low-income girls (mar 2017)

there are so many more moments to include but i wanted to hold onto these for sure. jonghyun, you were a celebrity like no other. i cant imagine a world without you. i wish you’d gotten to known how many hearts and minds you touched with your voice, your songwriting, and just by being yourself.

Amidst all the grief there are just a few things I would like to impart for all of us mourning:

1. Let it out. Don't contain it. You can write your feelings down, or speak to a friend. You are entitled to feel what you are feeling right now.

2. Pray. Whatever your religion is or if you have none, To pray is to spread hope and love. To Pray is to wish good for other people or for you to wish for yourself to be strong enough to be good to others.

3. Celebrate. Remember the happy times. How you and the people lived with no regrets. Appreciate all the beautiful things, no matter how small they are

Lastly, speak up. If you feel you need help, please ask for it. Cast your fear of rejection. There is bound for someone to help.

A tumblr usee kindly shared this with me to help deal w my grief, thus am sharing with you: there is an account on AFF that collects farewell letters and posts them anonymously - and it really helped to write down my grief and share it with others. I decided to send this around. We should not be alone in times like these.

Jonghyun-ah I love you and while it won't be soon enough, I can't wait for the day to meet you and hear your songs again in heaven.

trigger warning: death tw, suicide tw

i’ve been trying to figure out the right words to say for this post but, really, it doesn’t matter because what can be said that already hasn’t been? i began writing it before the confirmation from sm as something generalized, as a way to tell shawols to lean on each other during this difficult time and that much is going to get obvious as you make your way through to the end. this isn’t going to be eloquent because i’m still in shock. not in denial but shock and i feel like i’ll never be able to properly express what jonghyun not only meant to me but to all shawols and every fan of korean pop.

jonghyun was a special person. he was kind and compassionate and he always did his best to make sure that those around him were happy, no matter who it was. he wasn’t perfect but he always went out of his way to fix anything he did wrong and he was constantly trying to better himself. he was always growing and learning. he fought for people who do not have as much of a voice in korea like the lgbt community and those in poverty. he dedicated his life to doing good and making shawols and those who loved him happy and proud. he gave so much to us and he never hid that he was struggling. he gave us so much in the last nine years and we can give back to him by keeping his memory intact in the way that he would have wanted us to: by supporting the other members, by supporting those closest to him, by remembering his music and by remembering the time that he spent with shinee. he fought hard and he did well and that’s what i’m going to be left with, despite the massive ache that i feel in my chest. i don’t know what else to write to justify him or how great of a person he was so i’ll leave it at that.

please keep his mother, older sister, jinki, kibum, minho and taemin in your thoughts along with all the other people that he is closest to. this is difficult for us but it’s just as difficult for them. please refrain from leaving anything but caring and supportive messages on their social networking accounts, if you leave any at all.

as i said in my earlier post: i don’t really know what to say right now. i’m still in shock but i want everyone to know that we’re all in this together. i ask everyone to please take some time for themselves in the midst of all of this. please take care of yourself and those around you - whether it be simply talking to them or hugging them if you’re physically able to. also remember that if you need to take some time away from everything this is nothing wrong with that. you need to keep yours. i’m not going to close or delete this blog. i’m always going to be a fan of shinee. i’m just don’t feel right posting content on here when we’re all going to be in mourning. so, for the time being it’s on indefinite hiatus but it’ll always be around as a archive and as dedication to his life.

as of right now i’ve closed my inbox for submissions but i want to let you all know that i appreciate all the kind words that you’ve sent in not only for me specifically but about jonghyun. i’d also like to stress to reach out to other shawols (even if you do not consider them to be a close friend) if you do not have someone you can sit down and talk to properly. it also goes without saying: please do not take depression lightly. if you feel that you need help don’t hesitate to contact the following: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/
