Can we talk about how Taemin and Minho told us “not to fight with each other” and that “SHINee is always Five.” at the fanmeet today?
Today there was a “Fan” (note the sarcasm) who said that only Key misses Jonghyun and that the other members’ tears were fake.
I didn’t bother wasting my time getting angry at antis. We know what’s the truth. But what does concern me is that, more s than we think, the members are well aware of the conflicts we’re having in the fandom.
It’s our 10th anniversary. 10 years of being together. Regardless of when we joined the fandom, be it 10 years or 10 days, we’ve witnessed and become a part of something so beautiful and the fact that we are together sharing a mutual feeling of love for and finding comfort thanks to SHINee is something worth celebrating.
Yes, there are people who still find it hard to support SHINee. Yes, there are those who can’t or rather find it hard to support SHINee after what happened. But please don’t let that become a reason to stir conflicts between those who can or can’t support SHINee. At one point of time, we’ve all been with SHINee with the same heart. So, be mindful of what you say and let’s not say anything that hurts one another.
Today, Key said that although it would be nice if Jonghyun was here with us we should learn to accept what has happened and continue our lives together. That doesn’t mean that they’ve moved on. Yes, they’ve been continuously for the past few months. And many fans felt that it seemed like they’re moving on. But no, they’ve never moved on. They’re just growing stronger. And that’s because they believe that one day they will meet again.
I didn’t blog on SHINee’s Anniversary on the 25th. i couldn’t bring myself to write anything. Or rather, I had no idea what to write. It was a day full of a roller coaster of emotions. At the end of the day, just before I had guests coming over I balled my eyes out, cried until even breathing hurt, until my body lay shaking on the cold marble floor, until my eyes burned from all the crying... But I picked myself up a moment later, wearing my brightest smile. Laughing and smiling like nothing was wrong. For someone who never even met Jonghyun in person, I’ve been miserable these past 5, almost 6 now, months. So can you imagine the extend of pain that the members are hiding behind their smile as they go through each day?
They haven’t moved on. They’re just enduring through their hardships and trying to grow stronger. Please don’t say that their tears are fake, or that they seem to have moved on too quickly. While trying to vent our own feelings and emotions, please don’t say words that may hurt another person’s sentiments.
SHINee is always Five. No damned thing in the entire freaking Universe can ever change that. For fans who have been having a hard time coping; it’s fine to be in pain. It’s fine to not be able to support them any longer. It’s fine if you decide to leave. No one will blame you. But please don’t say that the members seemed to have moved on. This isn’t directed towards all of those who have decided to leave or left already, but rather to those few who have said so. So, no offense.
For those who have decided to support SHINee from here on; let’s support SHINee with everything we got. Cheering louder than we’ve ever done before for all 5 of them. And please don’t blame or criticize those Shawols who have left or decided to leave. Again, it’s not directed to all of you but to the few who’ve said so. So, no offense.
We’re celebrating 10 years of togetherness. Shawols can’t exist without SHINee. Had SHINee not been formed by SM, we’d never experience all the beautiful things we have experienced as Shawols. Similarly, SHINee won’t be able to go on if we no longer stand by them. We are each a big part of the others’ life... SHINee in Shawols’ lives. And Shawols in SHINee’s lives. Regardless, of what we are now, or how we feel right now; we once shared the same feeling towards each other. So let’s respect and love each other like we had been doing for 10 years.
Happy 10th Anniversary to SHINee and Shawols. We’ve made this happen together. We’ve come so far together. And that’s all because we’ve been there for each other at some point in time. Thank you for making this happen. Thank you for all these memories.
I love you SHINee. I love you SHINee World. Thank you SHINee. Thank you SHINee World.
