taemin buzzfeed japan interview

— Minho-san, he bothers to come to where I’m performing or promoting as a surprise. When I’m on the stage, he would suddenly yell “Taemiiiin, I caaaame!” and I would be like “Ehh? What?” (laughs)

seoul music high school (서울실용음악고등학교) has announced a handful of (mustard seed) scholarships and a contest showcase in association with shiny foundation. seoul music high school is the alma mater of jonghyun. the basis of all scholarships is to “celebrate the musicality of the late kim jonghyun (shinee’s jonghyun)” in a manner that will “support the academic and cultural arts activities of youth and young artists”. the first scholarship will serve the purpose of encouraging the growth of talented youth by supporting a selection of students who provide good examples based on their studying / academic skills and excellent musicality. 50% of the second semester tuition of three students will be provident to one student per grade for this school year. next year, 50% of the annual tuition for one student from second and third year studies will be provided. the second scholarship will be provided to two incoming freshman students (one with a vocal major and another with a midi arrangement major) for the year of 2019 who achieved the highest total score in selection criteria through their audition process. each student will be given 50% of their annual tuition for the 2019 school year. the third and final tuition will be an emergency relief scholarship. the scholarships will be provided on a private individual basis based on recommendation to the foundation by the school principal, and provide up to three contributions of 500,000₩ per person. this scholarship will always be open in operation by schedule. finally, both this and next year, a contest showcase is planned in honor of jonghyun. in this contest, students interested in participating will be asked to remake one of jonghyun’s songs in a way that commemorates his musicality. each remake will be covered during a showcase (this and next year) and there will be three winners awarded. the first place winner (for the 빛이나 award) will receive 500,000₩. the second place winner (for the inspiration award) will receive 300,000₩, and the third place winner (for the base award) will receive 200,000₩. (though it is noted on the announcement page that details for this are still under discussion.)

(death tw) (180906) @esquire.korea: “in my hurting eyes, even now i see so many hurting young people.” that’s the words lee eun kyung, the director of the foundation 빛이나, conveyed with difficulty. director lee eun kyung is the mother of kim jonghyun, who left this world on the 18th of december 2017. 빛이나 is the small foundation that the bereaved family worked together to make. september 6th, in cheongdam-dong, seoul, the simple establishment of 빛이나 foundation opened. just like the name shinee, the mother who lost her son who thought to advance towards the light; she made this organization in order to sooth the shadows of young cultural artists who are walking along the same path her son did. it’s a program that offers help to young artists who are suffering from lack of a supporting agency. moreover, it’s main goal is to establish a psychological counseling center to comfort young artists’ spirits who can’t help but sustain big and small wounds while doing public activities. every year in december, an arts festival will be held to honor shinee’s kim jonghyun. director lee eun kyung said, “even now whenever i go somewhere and a song which contains my son’s voice plays, it’s still a painful experience. however, i’m always grateful that there are people who like jonghyun’s music even after my son left.” kim jonghyun left this world, however jonghyun’s music remains in this world. 빛이나 operates on the basis of the royalties from kim jonghyun’s remaining music. we remember the still shining as ever shinee’s kim jonghyun.

I love this video. These faces, the fact that the fandom did this for them. Like all fandoms it’s had it’s ups and downs, but since December we’ve by and large been a family. @noona-clock I don’t know if y'all, both of y'all, have seen this but here

If anyone knows who shot this, when, where, anything, please let me know so I can credit them properly for getting this on film.
