The members had to address the tragedy at some point in a public manner in front of the cameras, and I believe the moderators did a very courteous and graceful job of letting the members talk without being manipulative, intrusive or self-serving. It's wonderful to see how respectful and tactful they were.
No matter how many times I've watched this, I still cry. It was still raw for them. It was only 7 months after. Waiting for SHINee's comeback while watching this again, ahhh, I don't know how to put into words the feelings that I have now. I loved SHINee, still loving SHINee and will still love SHINee in the future. They're always 5HINee to Shawols. ❤️
Still a heartbreaking story to hear again. Now, when they come back with "HARD" and Onew still in recovery, hope he will join their future show asap. God bless them
From only 7 months, now it's almost 5 years and the pain of losing him is still felt by me. Jonghyun, you will never be forgotten. I will continue to miss you and support the other members of SHINee.
i’m just glad that shinee can freely share their emotions now, including jonghyun’s presence more directly. i’m amazed by their strength and thankful that they wanted to keep going. new album is so much fun! shinee are the best
I see their love for Jonghyun. It must be hard to lose someone you where so close with. it’s hard for me to listen to SHINee with out getting sad sometimes even if it’s a very upbeat song. It’s so hard for me to see them cry Shinee will forever be 5💙💎
I honestly don't understand some peoples way of thinking... tragedy is not a spectacle. These men are truly affected by what happened, and idiots/trolls making comments about a heartbreaking situation is truly despicable. These men deserve all the love and support one can give ❤❤
I am here today, because I needed to watch this video. I don't know why, but something in me needed to. I regretfully didn't get into K-pop until 2022, and I didn't find Shinee until I think 2023. I wish I would've found them earlier, I wish I would've really been able to know Jonghyun. After getting to learn about them, I would like to say that I am a new Shawol. I regret that it has taken me so long to find this group. Even though I found them when they're performing as only four members, to me, Shinee are five. I know it's hard to grieve the loss of a loved one, I lost my great-grandfather two years ago, and it still stings. I want to extend my deepest sorrows to all Shawols and anyone who may be hurting still. If you need to vent or anything, or just need to talk to someone, feel free to reply, only if you want to. I hope that doesn't sound weird, I'm trying to essentially say to feel free to talk if you need to. This is a safe space here, and it's important to remember that your feelings are valid. For me, I am trying to keep going and pursuing my dreams in honor of my great-grandfather, and Shinee has also helped given me that inspiration as well. If you can, try to keep going, for Jonghyun, to honor him. I promise to always care for Shinee, even if I'm new to the fandom, as I still regret not finding them sooner. I hope this comment is seen by someone, anyone, who needs to see it. Please remember, you are loved, and your feelings are valid. Not only are you loved, but you are being watched over by Jonghyun, at least that's what I believe. I hope whoever sees this has a bit of a better day, evening, night, or whatever after seeing this. Love you all.
As much as I was devastated for our beloved Jonghyung I was afraid that my favorite kpop group Shinee may disband at the time 🥺 Our boys are so strong ❤ I'm proud of them and will support until the end ❤
I think anyone's bound to change after a loss like that. But to call him heartbreaking when he's made so much effort to move forward in his life over the past few years (and has specifically talked about making that effort) is kind of... I guess I don't really agree.
@@tokki_bunch I also think that seeing Onew now looking more gaunt & not fully recovered is heartbreaking. His journey to overcome this grief seems to take longer & with much more efforts than the others.
Just an FYI, it appears that this channel is providing official English subtitles for international fans. I believe that's why the videos are being re-edited and uploaded.
…this was a tough one. God bless all of the members for being strong enough to talk about how they felt and remaining a group. Hell it’s still hard for the fans and I’m sure it’s still the same for them too at times.. crazy it doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long.
I discovered Shinee only recently, when I saw them in a concert in July. They were three and they did a great performance, so I started reading about them and whatching videos. They are really beautiful, talented artists but also beautiful souls. I cannot immagine the pain they went through and the courage that was necessary to go on, especially being so exposed to many people, some of which (as they mention in the interview) spreading just poor and insensitive comments. I'm happy that they are going along together like a real family and hope that Onew will soon rejoin his brothers. Anyway, their recent comback and performances, as group and solos, are absolutely amazing!
Such beautiful words! I've discovered them recently too, mostly through RU-vid. I feel the same way as well, I can't imagine the pain. I also agree, their recent works have been amazing!!
This guesting is also a testament to how loved and respected SHINee was, that it was done with such gentleness and consideration. The boys were given a safe space to begin their “moving forward” in a public, idol setting without exploiting them/their pain. And always, hugs to our boys for braving everything they had to in the months following, to honor their commitments and Jonghyun’s legacy. they did so well, considering.
I'm here after watching my shinee world. It's been years already. Being a shawol is never a joke. We've been through alot.. and because of that I l know that we are strong enough to be with SHINee for more more more more years. SHINee we will be loving you for days and years 🤍
I couldn't listen to shinee for years after Jonghyun passed. I stopped listening to kpop period because everything reminded me of him. All of it was incredibly triggering. Every time I tried, I would cry whenever he sang. But then, I would still cry for the songs that released after he passed because his voice wasn't there. Even now, when I listen to their music, it'll hit me all of a sudden, and I'll start crying. It's a lot better now, but man does it still hurt sometimes. Jonghyun, you did so well 🩵
I have been through that too. I just came back to them in last december after 6 years. For along 6 years I unfollowed them and cant look after them. But last december, I just realize that we will not moved on. What we can do is just support them and let the pain get through even it hurts. Jonghyun will always be missed and loved🩵
You can clearly see The immense Sadness and emotional pain through their eyes. They need to cry cry and start talking openly about the memories. Like let it all out. It won’t heal them but it will release a lot of pent up emotions and feelings and help them live with what’s happened. Key word is Live.
I am a Shawol and an ARMY.SHINee was my first k-pop love and BTS was my second.Even 6 years later, it feels like yesterday that Jonghyun left us😔It still hurts but the remaining members must still feel devastated during this interview and their Tokyo Dome tour.Such brave young men💎🌹❤️
Yes you four now was five before you will shine shinee i wish you four to shine together like a family the fifth member is among yous as always all the best with you four with your singing career and take care yourselfs fighting❤❤
No-one can touch him! Noone can heart him anymore! And noone can beat old kpop groups!! Always a proud shawol!! Although I still can't watch their old songs or go to their concert,I hope they stay strong in this business! I hope Onew will come back healthier!!
Desde que vi este episodio me di cuenta del tremendo dolor que TODOS cargan, pero en especial mi lider Onew, por eso no me sorprendió su hiatus, lo necesitaba, y mas cuando sientaes culpa, peto no debería 😢 Pd. Me parte el alma verlos y saber cuánto han sufrido, pero los admiro porque siguen adelante y no cualquiera
i always remember this interview after so much time and how disrespectful they were by asking shinee again and again until they cried... we were angry at that moment. i know it was inevitable but sometimes people do it because they are morbid. today i'm happy because they are fine but at the time they were treated like the worst, shinee deserve an apology from everyone.
In 2018 I really thought SHINee will not continue without Jong. For me ,maybe as a woman I'm weaker mentally. If in their shoes I don't think I'll find courage and strength to continue ... singing the songs they always sing together 😢
Repudio aquellos que hivieron comentarios maliciosos divienfo que hacian marketing con la tragedia, ellos amaban a Jonghyun, el era quien manejaba la escena en los conciertos y los unia como un hilo rojo, estos chicos quedsron desbastados e hicieron un gran esfuerzo por superarlo y seguir adelante,estoy irgullosa de ellos y que sigan los 5 unidos en los ♥️ nunca olvidaremos a esa hermosura que era Jonghyun ni Shinee ni nosotros,los todeo con todo mi amor
Y aún siguen y lo peor, ahora hasta un drama basado en Kim Jonghyun hicieron, pero muchos se hacen los ciegos y llaman al fandom tóxico y loco, cuando está el color del fandom, ropa de Kim y el porque del fallecimiento del idol, me tiene con una rabia, pero me alegro que shawol asiático está con el hate masivo a todo y ha hecho que cada vez el ranking del drama sea más bajo
HE MADE THE CHOICE TO LEAVE THIS WORLD SO IT PROBABLY BRINGS GUILT TO THE MEMBERS EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOTHING WRONG and these senseless creatures are spreading hate on members at that time.......gosh I can't wrap my head around on the fact that we are living in same world where these creatures live....
The definition of gross. Just six weeks after Jonghyun took his life, they were on stage in Tokyo. SIX WEEKS. "Jonghyun who?" They didn't do this interview/appearance to heal the fans or share their grief, or anything else so noble. They did it TO PROMOTE THE NEW ALBUM THEY WERE RELEASING just SEVEN MONTHS after Jonghyun's death. No respectful time for mourning or reflection, SM pushed them and they went right on almost as if nothing had happened. Except something HUGE had happened: Their so-called "brother" had died by suicide and all of them were surprised by it. So how close could they have been, really, given that Jonghyun put out a million warning signs and cries for help, and all four of them were oblivious to the severe danger he was in? The concert, the new album, pretending they were "moving on" FIVE MONTHS later, which means they'd been recording for months prior to that, was all done in the name of $$$$$$$$ and nothing else. I wish they'd have just been honest about it. "This is what SM wanted, so we did as we were told." Would that really be so hard to say? Onew is the only one who was struggling in this interview, as he has ever since Jonghyun died. And a big reason for that was the insane pressure put on him to "get over it and get on with it," putting on a happy mask for the delusional/demanding Shawols and SM. I'm glad he has finally escaped the group and I hope he never, ever goes back. I feared we would lose him to suicide too. The whole thing is horrifying and disgusting. i remain a Jonghyun-era SHINee fan, but it's still not easy to watch them without pain, especially now that I know so much more about the behavior of the remaining four after Jjong died, and the timing. As for anything they've done since Jonghyun...forget it. Never.
Yeah, I’m sure you know what they went through and what Jonghyun was going through so much better than they themselves do, random person on the internet. I’m sure you would have handled the situation perfectly if you were in their shoes. Gosh if only they would listen to you with your great wisdom and expertise! But really, you’re nothing but a fool who mistakes your asinine judgments for reality and then projects your worthless thoughts onto people that you’ve never even met. I’m glad you’re no longer a fan because they deserve so much better than you. Jonghyun deserves better than you as well. I hope someday you’ll recognize that.
First of all, I am not trying to invalidate your anger, everyone's feelings are valid, nor am I trying to say that you are wrong, this is merely my opinion and you are allowed to have yours as well. But, as someone who is studying nursing and understanding how to help people, there's something that I feel that you missed. Your anger is valid, everyone's feelings are, but I wanted to address one important point. For some, warning signs are different, and understanding warning signs are as well. Often times it is those who are closest who fail to see the signs, likely because the one giving off the signs doesn't want them to see it. We have no way of knowing if Jonghyun even told the members before he took his own life. According to an article by the Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies, many people are unable to recognize the subtle, non-verbal signs of lethality, which essentially means the action of taking their own life. Therefore, while I'm not trying to invalidate or bash you, I just wanted to state an opinion. The article also mentions that as people who are suicidal tend to talk less about it as they become increasingly more suicidal, nonverbal cues play a big role. Also, it is important to consider that, as far as I know, the members haven't studied human psychology. Thus, they may not know anything about the types of non-verbal warning signs to look out for. In conclusion, we don't know all the details, so we can't say that the members weren't close for not noticing the signs. If they didn't know what to look for, then they were most likely surprised because he might have been telling them that he was fine, and they didn't know what to look for. Again, this is merely my opinion and thought process, and I'm not trying to invalidate yours or to come across as rude or condescending. I'm just offering my perspective on this matter, as you did yours. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Have a nice day, or evening, or whatever time it may be where you are.
People like you who commenting thinking that your feeling is a fact and projecting your anger towards people who actually met Jonghyun everyday and had a real interaction and connection with him, who definitely suffer bigger loss when he passed away. Our loss is nothing compared to them, and I believe the true Shawols will continue to support them and their decision, instead of accusing them only care about money like you said. It’s totally ashamed that you are thinking that way and I hope you found a peace in your life.
@@MirandaSmith-gq5mf OF COURSE mindless, true Shawols will continue to support these guys. You don't know how to think for yourself, and you're unwilling to acknowledge what is right in front of your eyes. Your continued "support" is why Taemin nearly died while in the military and Onew nearly starved himself to death. You don't care about the insane pressure SM and your incessant need for content puts on these guys. You want your fantasy and that's all you care about. Key said after Jonghyun died and they were rehearsing for the tour that should have been cancelled, they were forbidden to mention j's name. That you're OK with that isn't sad, it's psychotic. Find peace in your own life, loser.
Key literally calls out disgusting people like you in this video. And are you going to go after his mother and sister who lived with him and couldn't prevent the inevitable either? Depression and making this tough decision is done without considering others in that way. The person's mind is so dark that they can't see people trying to help them. I know this because I lost a close cousin to suicide as well. We were a very loving family and we tried supporting him through tough times, we moved in with him to take care of him etc. But at the end it wasn't enough. Also they're still close to Jonghyun's family, hold concerts to raise money for his foundation every year, only really resumed acitivities because his mom told them that the thing Jonghyun would hate the most is for SHINee's name to be lost because of him. Jonghyun called SHINee the biggest miracle of his life. You're a sick, twisted, horrible, and disgusting person for twisting this into your hate crime. Get a life.
