JONGHYUN 종현 '우린 봄이 오기 전에 (Before Our Spring)' MV 

*I'm still here. The cold winter is coming. Stay warm, angel.*

Another spring is coming, are we seeing you again? Let's meet again in Spring my dear JongHyun. How was your trip? Happy? I wish you are.

7 springs after... and we're still here

잘 지내시나요. 많이 그립습니다. 전혀 알지 못하는 사이지만, 스물여덟에 머무른 당신에게 스물아홉의 봄이 어떤지 말해주고 싶은 마음으로 저의 스물여덟을 버텨내고 있습니다. 결국, 어떤 이유로든 여전히 또 당신에게서 하루를 살아갈 힘을 얻고 있습니다. 사실 작년부터 많이 힘든데, 당신이 푸른밤에 남긴 따뜻한 말들이 또 미약하게나마 힘이 나게 합니다. 항상 감사합니다. 그곳은 늘 따뜻하기를, 편안하기를, 상처가 없기를 기도해봅니다.

I want to thank the SM staff who put this together for us, I know that this MV means a lot to Shawol’s from all over the world. And to our beautiful Jonghyun....we miss you. you did well and we are so proud of you, thank you for this final masterpiece. Until we meet again💞 we will support your legacy forever.

It’s been 1251 days, 3 years and 5 months without you and I still miss you everyday…종현아 보고싶어……당신이 아직 여기 있었으면 하는 바램입니다. 많이 보고 싶어요….

종현아 오늘 샤이니월드 6 콘서트가 있었어! 밤이 깊고 피곤한데 너 생각이 많이 난다 같이 있었으면 더 좋았겠지만 넌 너의 봄을 찾아 떠난거니까.. 여긴 많이 더운데 너가 있는 곳은 늘 봄 날씨면 좋겠다 사랑해❤

종현아 생일 축하해 이제야 봄이 온 것 같다 ㅋㅋ 해피 버스데이 틀어놓구 기다릴게 얼른 와야해 네 자리 비워뒀어 늘 사랑하구 또 보고싶어 언제까지고 환히 빛날 나의 봄아 🤭🩵

The spring has arrived. Take care of yourself, please. Continue flying as high as your wings let you. Love you more than anything.

The music resolved at the end, but the lyrics, "then, then, then" didn't. It is as if he's giving us a bit of hope...towards life, I think, in general. That after winter ends, spring will always come.

종현아 나 오늘 첫 출근했어. 라디오를 들을 때 언젠가 나도 회사원이 되어서 회사 불만 같은거 털어두고 싶었는데.. 너무 먼 미래 같았는데..그래서 그런지 오늘은 너가 생각이 났어. 생각하면 그리워서 잊으려 노력도 해봤고 내 감정 그대로 갖고 지내려고도 했어. 그 동안 쏟아낸 감정과 눈물이 너무 많아서 없을 줄 알았는데,, 아닌것 같네 오늘 따라 너무 보고싶어. 닿지 않더라도 항상 고마워

너무 좋아했던 아티스트인 만큼 충격이 컸던 20대였습니다. 어느덧 종현의 나이를 지나 30대가 되었습니다. 부산 사는 사람이 현실적으로 콘서트를 매번 가는건 쉽지 않았기에 종현이라는 아티스트를 실제로 본 적은 없고 푸른밤 애청자였기에 그 당시 사연이 읽힌것이 전부이지만 지금은 그때의 사연을 읽어주며 제 이름을 말씀해주신 덕에 그 짧은 찰나의 순간의 녹음본이 참 힘이 될 때가 많습니다. 현재의 저는 너무나 사랑하는 사람이 있고 감사하게도 직장을 꾸준히 다니고 있는 30대에 접어들었는데 연애를 제외한 모든 상황들과 이 삶이 가끔은 너무 버겁고 힘들게 느껴집니다. 참으로 이상하게 힘들때 마다 이 노래를 찾아 듣는 제 자신이 가끔은 종현님에게 미안한 마음이 들 때도 있습니다. 마치 응원이 아닌 기댈 곳을 향해 오는 듯이 밤에 혼자 나만의 시간을 가지게 되면 자연스럽게 ”종현“이라는 이름을 검색하고 여러 영상들을 보면서 울고있는 제 자신이 때로는 한심하다고 느껴집니다. 대한민국에서 평범한 직장인으로 사는 30대 초반도 이렇게 힘겨움이 가득한데 그는 얼마나 힘들었을까 팬으로써, 동년배 오빠로써 토닥임 한번 해주지 못한 이 마음이 왜이렇게 찢어질 듯이 아픈지 모르겠습니다. 하늘에서 이런 팬도 헤아려줄 여유가 있다면 부탁합니다. 너무 큰 걸 바라는걸지도 모르겠습니다만 꿈에 나와서 괜찮다고 잘하고있다고 한번만 토닥여주세요. 모든 내 플레이리스트에 첫번째 곡인 종현오빠. 나의 학창시절부터 찬란했던 20대까지 많은 곳에서 활동해줘서, 많은 흔적들을 남겨줘서 고마워요. 부디 매일 행복한 일만 가득하길 바라겠습니다💚 -새벽 3시 47분. 술 기운에 힘 입어 글을 써 본 어느 30대의 팬이-

*"Life is a continuation of meetings&farewells. Because of that, I believe that we grow. Immediately, you will regret it, you will feel sad and you will cry but, We will meet again."* He said this. He promised us. We will meet again until that time I will continue pray to god for him everyday. We will meet again

I read someone’s interpretation of this song, and it made me tear up... here it is: Personal interpretation: “spring” is a metaphor for him finding his own peace as an angel in heaven. I imagine him writing these words before greeting his fans for one last time… “Shall we meet once before the spring comes?”… This gives me a little comfort to think of it in this way. I hope Jonghyun found peace. I hope his spring finally came.

종현아 오늘따라 네가 많이 생각났어 겨울에 항상 네가 생각났는데 봄이 끝나가는 이 계절에 네가 또 생각나 항상 내가 힘들 때 널 떠올려서 미안하고 그럼에도 내 기억 속에 남아있어줘서 고마워 종현아

종현아 생각나서 한번 와 봤어 곧 봄이 올거같아서 그전에 한번 와 봤어

SHINee made a comeback Jjong...they tried a different concept and nailed it. Up till now they have won four awards. Key mentioned you...they all miss you...we all miss you. You will live in our hearts forever as the most beautiful human being ever. 5HINee 4ever!!! 💎💎💎💎💎 Edit: 6 awards now

Jonghyun, you did so well. You made millions of people smile with your music. You're gone now, but millions of people will still smile when they remember you for what you did. You made the world that little bit brighter, and we are forever thankful for that. Now you are up there watching over us, and we know that you are genuinely smiling. It hurts that we know how many of your beautiful smiles were faked, that we couldn't help you or save you, that it was too late for you. However, now we know that it isn't too late for others. We know now that we can help others through their own demons, and that they can come out the other side. We may have lost you, you may now be a beautiful angel, but we will not loose someone else. Please Jonghyun, look after your members, friends, family ad fans from the skies, and we will look after each other from the ground. Rest well now, Jonghyun-ah, for you did amazing things in your time with us on earth. Be happy up there, wherever you are, and play your kazoo to your heart's content. We will all be okay soon. To anyone who is struggling with their own demons, please get help. Please don't let yourself suffer alone. There is always someone to talk to, but it's your choice to speak up. Shawols, it will get better. Someday we will all look back at Jonghyun's achievements and life with smiles on our faces. Everything will be okay...

종현아.. 또 봄이 온다... 1년 사계절 내내 니가 그립고 보고싶지만.. 따스한 봄이 오면 더욱 더 보고싶어지는 것 같아... 아마.. 너의 계절이라서 그렇겠지?? 오늘도 너의 목소리가.. 너의 음악이.. 지친 내 하루를 위로해주네.. 항상 고맙고.. 보고싶다... 사랑해.. 우리 종현이❤

종현아. 어제로 16주년이 되었어. 온유도 건강한 모습으로 함께 하는 모습을 보니 종현이도 함께 했을 거라는 확신이 들더라😘 앞으로도 영원히 재연될 우리들의 시간을 함께 하자. 사랑해 쫑💎💎💎💎💎

Let me be honest. I don't miss you on daily basis. I am always buckled under my work pressure. But when i hear someone talk about you, when i come across your songs, when i see your smile, tears in those mv, trust me it breaks my heart. Its difficult to even breath. The worst part of missing you over someone else's talk is that I realize that I have not missed you for past few days. The fear that one day, one day what if you will fade away from my memories, it tears me apart. I used to search for SHINee videos, your funny moments, but now I am not even able to watch those funny moments of your anymore. Those funny moments which were supposed to make me happy, make me laugh, I can't even smile watching those anymore. Its just tears and tears. And i hate that it blurs your beautiful face. But, there will come a day, when i will still be missing you but with a wide smile on my face. I wont let my tears blur your face. I will watch your MVs, i will listen to your songs till the end. Right now, its not the time for me. You might not know but its so hard to go through your songs. So, even this song, I can't listen till the end for now. I will listen to it later, later when your voice will no more hurt me, later when your songs will give me smile and just smile on my face. I am so proud of you and I promise to cherish all the memories you have left behind. Thank you for being an amazing person till the end. I will always keep you in my heart and in my memory. Rest well, Jonghyun.

"Mom why do the best people have to die?" "When you are in a garden, which flowers do you pick?" "The most beautiful ones" "Exactly"...

오늘따라 유튜브에 계속 새로고침을 아무리 해도 종현 영상이 오랜만에 뜨네요~ 어느덧 봄이 한참이나 지나고 따뜻한 여름이 다가오는 계절이 되고 있어요, 날씨는 바뀌는데 종현이는 없네요.. 아니구나! 항상, 같이 있는 존재이지,,, 여름이니까 더위 조심해요, 쫑디💎 그리고, 보고싶지만 보고싶다는 감정을 꾹꾹 눌러 담고 생각이 날때마다 보러 올게요~~ 종현이의 영상 봐서 너무너무 좋았고 다시 생각할수 화상할수 있게 기회를 줘서 너무너무 고마워요🥺 하늘나라 에서 부디... 아프지말고 누구보다 더 행복하게 그리고 하고싶은거 다 하면서 그렇게 지냈으면 참 좋겠어요~ 너무너무 보고싶은 종현 또 보러 올게요~ 꼭! 잘지내고 있기를....또 보러 올게요 💎쫑디, 수고했어요 정말 고생했어요 그댄 나의 자랑이죠💎

But can you imagine this angel singing in Heaven with the other angels? Beautiful~

Can you imagine how difficult it would have been for SM staff to put this video together? I am so thankful for all your hard work. All these clips for him being himself, waving at us, smiling.. thank you for letting us see it.

종현아 여기는 꽃이 피기 시작했어 이제 봄이야 너에게도 봄이 찾아가면 좋겠다. 많이 사랑해

종현아 잘지내? 너무 보고싶어 정말 많이 보고싶다 늘 이자리에 있을게 사랑해

*Hey JONGHYUN. Two years ago I thought that living in the world which doesn't include you is impossible... But I'm doing well... I breath I smile I cry I feel and sometimes I forget that you're not here anymore.... You should know that I remember you as the happy Jong... How are you dear? Are you feeling better?*

These type of MVs really make my heart ache but this one makes it ache 10 times stronger. He always pretended to be happy... *You did well Jonghyun*

너무 바쁘게 정신없게 살다보니 생일도 까먹었네 미안해. 생일 축하해. 여기는 지금 봄이 왔어! 안녕!

종현아 잘 지내지? 정말 용기를 내서 이 영상을 봤어. 종현이가 별이 되던 날 내 꿈에 와서 자신을 생각하며 울지 않고 웃어도 된다는 말에 나는 종현이를 보며 행복했던 것들을 용기내서 하나씩 다시 보기 시작했었어. 종현이의 무대, 종현이의 푸른 밤. 종현이 무대 보면 너무 막 자랑스러웠고, 종현이의 푸른밤은 늦은 밤 집에 올 때의 내 휴식이었어. 그때의 느낌은 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없을거고 다시 봐도 너무 좋더라. 근데 진짜 이 앨범은.. 여전히 너무 아프다 그립고.. 그래서 솔직히 알고리즘에 뜰 때마다 눈을 감고 넘기고 했는데... 오늘은 용기내서 봤어.. 언젠가 또 보러올게. 영상 속 팬들에 둘러쌓여 노래하는 종현이 정말 예쁘다.

One more light - Chester Bennington Before our spring - Jonghyun You both did well, Rest In Peace.

Its sad how humans only start to recognize a human or a human's feelings after he leave this world. I am sorry that we and all the people around jonghyung didn't give him enough love, didn't tell him that he is worth it and how much he mean to so many people. You did well, jonghyun🌹

우리 종현이 새삼 너무 어린 나이였구나 생각이 드네. 내가 벌써 종현이보다 나이를 더 먹었다는게 아직도 실감이 안나고. 잘 쉬고 있어? 나는 여전히 잔잔히 너를 기억하며 살고있어. 봄이 되면 왜 이렇게 사무치나 싶더니 너를 깊은 곳에서부터 생각했었나보다. 너무 보고싶으면 보지 않고 살아도 된다고 하는데 어쩌면 이제서야 이해한건지도 모르겠다. 사랑하는 내 친구, 내 영원한 자랑. 나중에 다시 만나자.

*[Saturday December 18, 2022]* *[KST TIME]* _Today marks 5 years since the world lost one of the biggest names in music, our dear and beloved Jonghyun._ _As the pain turns into beautiful memories, we celebrate Jonghyun's life by keeping his spirit alive in our hearts through his music and legacy._ *Jonghyun, we love you forever.* ❤️ _No matter how much time passes, all your fans especially those in the SHINee World Community will be united in keeping your legacy alive and your star shining._ *[ALWAYS BE WITH YOU]* _A message on behalf of the __#SHINeeWorld__ community._ ❤️🎙️🌹⭐

Spring passed, summer passed and cold winter comes again. That cold winter that you left us. I always hated winter because i don't like to getting cold. How did you know that my fav season is spring? You are always the one who understands me. It have been 10 months. Almost 1 year. I was always here. I will always be here till the end. Nobody can understand how you saved my life. I promise that i'll also live good next spring and summer. Always be with you~

let's not make the same mistake again, even to a stranger compliment them, try making them smile. leave a positive impact, jonghyun could've easily been myself, your sister, your mother, your best friend or the stranger sitting next to you. give them a reason to smile, to let them think they're really worth living. i'm proud of everyone, no one should not feel like no on notices them, im noticing you, i hear you, now listen to me, you're worth it. you were born for a reason and that reason was to live a happy life even if you have struggles. the worst part is that we've made people not believe it anymore, bc of our harsh words, actions, even if you dislike someone either keep it to yourself or just give a little smile. if anything you could've been that person being told they were never enough, they didn't have anything worth living for, they were ugly, they were stupid. if that were me i don't think i could last a second with jonghyun's struggle. the first day i would've quit all social media, would've gone home and complained to mum. for jonghyun being able to endure it for more than 9 years is a mystery to me, i'm happy he lasted this long, if people had noticed he could've lasted longer. i am so proud of him, of YOU may he rest in peace

사랑하는 종현아 잘 지내지? 어쩌면 너는 내가 생각했던 것보다 훨씬 힘들었을지도 모르겠다. 그럼에도 불구하고 너는 끝까지 다정했구나 너의 다정함을 사랑했지만 가끔씩은 그런 다정이 얄궂어 이제 봄이 오고 있어. 너에게도 봄이 왔겠지? 우리, 꼭 또 보자.

2022.12.18 잘 지내고있어? 아프지 않고 따뜻하게 잘 있지? 벌써 5년 지났내. 괜찮을 줄 알았는데 오늘은 좀 많이 슬프네. 난 여전히 여기서 항상 보고싶고 그리워 하면서 잘 버티고 있어. 그리고 종현이처럼 따뜻한 사람이 될 수 있도록 열심히 노력하고있어. 이젠 우리 종현이한테 봄이 왔겠죠… 여전히 많이 보고싶다 종현아. 사랑해 ❤🌹

Jonghyun hasn't left He is still here Sitting right next to us He always gonna be with us US SHAWOLS NEED TO STAY STRONG! FOR JONGHYUN AND SHINEE!!!

Before spring comes Before it gets warm, shall we meet? Before the day comes When everyone else is asleep, let’s met Actually, looking at you Watching over you Makes me happy Just looking at you smiling Just watching over you makes me feel at peace I know this sounds foolish, but I’m afraid to go to you Even if you don’t understand It’s alright, it’s alright Because there’s still a lot of time Before spring will come Actually, I don’t Want spring to come Don’t want it to get warmer Just looking at You smile from afar Makes my heart ache I know this sounds foolish, but I’m afraid to go to you Even if you don’t understand It’s alright, it’s alright Because there’s still a lot of time Before spring will come They say spring will come Faster than last year But the cold and frozen winter Is still here Don’t worry about what to do I’m alright Spring will come to me too I don’t want to go to you I’m afraid I’m contagious When I forget my tears and my sadness When spring comes to me too Then, then, then Then you did well jonghyun you did well our angel i hope youre happy up there we love you 😢

이제 괜찮을 줄 알았는데 오늘은 좀 슬프네. 오늘만 조금 울고 다시 일상으로 돌아 가서 다시 만나기 전까지 멋진 사람이 될 수 있도록, 종현이처럼 다른 사람들한테 따뜻함을 전해 줄 수 있는 사람이 될 수 있도록 열심히 내 할 일 다하면서 살게. 많이 보고 싶다 종현아. 사실 진짜 너무 보고 싶어.

종현아 안녕 그동안 정말 많은 일이 있었어. 좋은 일도 있었지만 힘든 일도 많았지... 일하면서 잘 지내고 있었는데, 사기를 당하기도 했고 그냥 좋은일도 있었어...있었을꺼야 ㅎㅎ 온갖 생각을 다 하며 힘들어했지만, 이젠 조금은 나아진 것 같아 그저 그런대로 버티며 살아가고 있지 그래도 가끔씩 너가 그리워지는 날이면, 샤이니 노래를 들으며 힘을 내고 있어 덕분에 버텨낼 수 있었던 것 같아서 정말 고마워 너랑 비슷한 날에 같이 간 친구랑 잘 지내고 있길 바랄께 언젠가는 너무 늦지 않게 곁으로 갈께 너랑 친구도 기다리고 있을 테니까 좋은 소리, 좋은 가사, 좋은 노래, 좋은 시간 남겨줘서 고마워🙂

It breaks my heart because this makes it feel that he’s still here but he’s not💔😥

I have avoided anything that has to do with jonghyun for the past 2 yrs but now that I think I can watch everything, I remember now how much fun he is. Happy birthday Jonghyun love

종현이 안녕 드디어 뮤비를 볼 수 있게 됐어 오늘은 이상하게 우리가 함께했던 시간들이 너무 기억나더라 공식1기 신청했던거랑 떡국콘부터 내 처음 사전녹화, 공개팬싸, 첫 솔콘 X를 지나 아티움에서 12번의 공연, 도쿄돔, 다시 INSPIRED 내가 이기적이라 그간 보기 어려웠나봐 근데 그 긴 시간동안 문득 내 시간에 종현이가 스치면 그 순간순간이 너무 떠올라. 벅차게 행복하고 벅차게 웃고 너무 행복해서 이 순간이 흐르지 않았으면 좋겠다 생각하고. 너무 사랑해서 밥 먹을 시간에 사녹 신청을 하러 뛰어가고, 내옷, 화장품 대신 앨범을 사고 굿즈를 사도 만족스러워서 추운지도 더운지도 모르고 매번 밤샘으로 하고 새벽에 푸른밤 방청하러 가서 아침까지 꼬박 카페에서 밤을 새고 첫차로 집에 돌아와도 매번 행복하게 웃곤했던 그 시간이. 탓하는게 아니야 밉다는게 아니야 그립다는거야. 너무너무. 여전히 잊혀지지 않아 엉엉 울면서 사랑한다고, 너무 무거운 말이라고 생각해서 하기 힘들다던 그말을 드디어 해준 그날 그 시간 그 말을 나는 영원히 잊지않아 사랑해❤

종현아 오늘 날이 따뜻해서 봄이 오기 전이라서 한번 와봤어 행복이란 뭘까? 널보며 생각하게돼 이제는 너와 같은나이가 되었네 어릴때부터 잘 노력해왔네 고생했어

_Jonghyun is an angel who will always live in our hearts. ♡_

It's the weirdest thing, I loved Jonghyun since I had just turned 16, and I'm almost 25 now. It feels like I've lost an old friend that I grew up with. I just can't believe someone so beautiful and vital and full of life is gone. My darling Jonghyun, you did so well. I will never forget your beautiful smile. Thank you for making my teenage years a little brighter. I love you.

너의 생일을 축하해 오늘은 사람들한테 친절하게 하고 말도 예쁘게하고 밥도 씩씩하게 먹을게 누구보다 예쁜 하루를 보내볼게 사랑해 김종현❤️

어느덧 또 한해가 흘렀네요. 봄이 오기 전에 꿈에서나마 한번 더 만나고 싶네요

Today when I fell on the street and hit my lounges there was a bus coming and I thought of just give up and getting hit by it. But something just made me roll over and suddenly I was on my feets and I just felt like "no it its not my time yet! I have to fight to make others lives happy!!!" I want to fight for him! I want to help others who are feeling the same as he so I can finally rest well. Until then it's not my time! Love you Jonghyun! You did really well and I hope you're happy wherever you are!!♡

Coming up on 3 years now and it still hurts just like it did in 2017. The only thing I can say is that I'm so incredibly proud of him. Just scrolling through the comments here as an older shawol and seeing how Jonghyun's music and existence is STILL helping and healing people that didn't even know him when he was here. That new people that are in need of someone great like him to look up to in their lives can find him and hear his music, know his personality, know his soul and get inspiration from how genuinely kind and amazing he is. Jonghyun and SHINee have been such a big comfort for me in my life when I was feeling depressed or anxious or just lonely for the last 10 years and it warms my heart that so many new people are getting that same feeling but it breaks my heart that he's not able to be here for it... You did so well Jjong, SHINee is forever 5 💙💙💙💙💙

종현님! 오랜만이네요 저도 어느새 20대 중반이 되었어요! 저도 이 노래를 처음 들었을 때 그리고 이곳에 댓글을 남기러 왔을 때 만해도 저도 아주 불안한 삶의 연속이였어요. 힘들고 봄이라는게 오긴할까? 라는 생각도 많이하고 나에게는 봄 같이 따뜻한 순간이 내 인생에는 없을것만 같았어요. 주변에서는 꼭 참으면 언젠가는 봄이오고 그 힘든 순간은 꼭 지나간다는 말이 정말 나에게는 해당이 되지 않는 말같았는데 정말 사람이 직접 격지 않으면 모른다고 하죠,, 저도 많이 좋아지고 이제는 봄이 오는걸 기다리는 순간이 찾아왔어요,,, 그 순간까지 오기까지 정말 길었고 많이 힘들었는데 종현님의 위로의 말과 노래로 이겨냈어요. 항상 고맙고 내년에도 다시 올게요.

종현아 !! 나 오늘 너 꿈 꿨다?! 다섯 명이 콘서트에서 라이브하는 꿈! 아직 다섯명이 완벽하게 채워주는 라이브가 많이많이 그리워.. 너가 없이 멤버들이 큰 날짜를 세기도 싫을만큼 너가 보고싶다 육년 칠년? 정도 지났을 거 같은데 우리 샤이니 멤버들 끝까지 지켜봐주고! 응원해줘ㅎㅎ 언젠가는 돌아와야해~~~

Please do not romanticise his passing. Yes, he was suffering and it's absolutely necessary to pay attention to this problem. But don't remember him because he suffered, don't remember him for how he passed, don't remember him for his mental illness. Remember him for the amazing person who defended LGBT rights. Remember him for the great composer, producer and singer he was. Remember him as the loving brother, son and member. I know it's difficult believe me, I haven't been myself after December 18 but we as a family, will get through this. Shawols and kpop fans please stay strong and tell your friends, family, idols and even yourself how well you've done. You might think a day was rough and you made a lot of mistakes but remind yourself that you have done amazing and know that I am proud of you. Stay healthy and love yourself, that's what Jonghyun would've wanted.

Hey you, yeah you, reading this comment thank you for being you, even if I don't know you & When we think of Jonghyun its okay to cry, crying is much better than holding it in, let's remember the happy times, together. Jonghyun is now an angel (even before he's still an angel). He singing in heaven and watching over Shinee as a whole. He'll never be forgotten. You really did your best, Jonghyun. Thank you for everything you did here, for making me happy.

난 종현이가 부르는 우린 봄이 오기전에 라이브도 듣고싶고 너가 많이 만들어놨을 자작곡도 다 듣고싶어 우리랑 같이 있었다면 같이 미래를 만들어나갈 수 있었을텐데 하는 생각으로 요즘 지내고있는거같아 많이 보고 싶다 나의 자랑❤️

모든 겨울과 봄을 지나 다시 우리가 만날 때는 오늘 더 사랑하자

우리 종현이 잘있지? 여전히 사랑해 어디에있든 너무 아프지마 내 사랑

2019.05.14 Still missing you, my young love. We will meet up on the cloud, right?

종현아 생일축하해 누구보다 따스한 너에게 아름다운 봄이길

종현아 잘 지내? 매 연말이 다가오면 네 생각이 제일 먼저 나 네가 남겨둔 겨울 노래를 찾는 횟수가 잦아지면 네 생각도 그만큼 잦아지더라 거긴 춥지 않은 겨울이었으면 좋겠어 너를 향한 그리움은 한 해가 지날때마다 겹겹이 쌓이는 것 같아 참고 참아볼게 보고 싶다!

Dear shawols, let’s try not to cry while listening to this song. Let’s smile and listen to this song... Jonghyun will never want us to be like that 😢❤️ Jonghyun , You’ve did well. You’ve comforted a lot of people using your songs, so now you can rest in peace. Just remember... Shawols, SHINee members, your family, SM will remember you and your smile forever😭

I said 'i'm not gonna cry' before watching this MV. But... Give up in 2 seconds.

벌써 봄의 끝자락이야. 나도 너처럼 봄이 오는게 싫었는데. 무언갈 새롭게 시작한다는 게 너무 두렵더라고. 봄꽃은 잘도 피고 세상은 나만 버려두고 맑게 개고. 그래서 이 짧은 계절이 싫었거든. 근데 어느 날 네가 온 거야. 아무 볼품 없는 내 삶에 네가 온 거야 종현아. 한 줄기 기적처럼, 남들이 생각하는 그런 예쁜 봄처럼. 멀리서 바라봐도 가슴이 아리고 널 사랑할 수 밖에 없어져버렸어. 너무나도 예쁜 우리 종현이.. 수고했어 근데 아직도 보고 싶어 미안해

안녕 언제나 예쁜 종현아 오랜만에 또 문득 보고 싶어 찾아왔어. 항상 너는 내 앞에서 걷던 사람이었는데 이제는 내가 너보다 훌쩍 앞에 서있네. 그래도 가끔 힘들어서 주저앉을 때마다, 이 걸음 뒤에 네가 있다고 생각해서 그런가 이제는 등 뒤가 두렵지 않다. 웃고 싶을 때 울고 싶을 때. 그리고 살다가 네가 생각나는 순간마다 찾아올게. 가끔 돌아봐도 되지? 늘 힘이 되어주어서 고마워. 내 삶의 목표 한 편에 네가 있었고 너는 나에게 이정표 같던 사람이라 이제 어딜 보고 걸어야 할지 조금 막막할 때가 있지만 그래도 힘내볼게. 많이 보고 싶다.

Thank you to anyone who is from another fandom and is here for us Shawols and most importantly Jonghyun. Above all else, this is his time. He's made an amazing album and we shouldn't have expected anything less.

Every year I'm here at the exact same day. Hope you're all okay and looking out for your precious family and members. Love you always, our Angel Jonghyun. Edited on 2023: Hi again! How are you? Are you doing well? I am having a hard time now. I hope you can give me some strength. I still miss you like crazy. Please take care of yourself up there. Love you forever and always 🤍🤍🤍

오빠가 그리워지는 계절이 해마다 돌아온다는게 유난히 힘들 때가 있었거든 요즘은 오빠를 더 많이 떠올릴 수 있는 계절이 있어 다행이란 생각도 들어 김종현이 있어 내 겨울은 언제나 따뜻해 내가 오빠를 떠올릴 때 온기가 돌고 따뜻해지듯 오빠의 올해도 따뜻하고 행복했으면 좋겠어 너무 보고싶다

Spring is so near Jonghyun-ah~ It's coming. It's almost here. Why didn't you wait for it to come? Why do I still cry? Why does it still hurt so bad?

*it seems colder than normal this month, i’m missing your warmth with everything i have, i hope you’re resting well angel. we love you so much*

여전히 보고싶어

종현아, 안녕. 잘 있지? 거기서는 뭐해? 이젠 아프지않지? 매번 널 떠올릴때마다 우는 게 싫어서 울지않으려 노력했거든 우린 너무 즐거운 추억들이 많았잖아 그래도 가끔은, 네 생각에 사무치는 날들이 있어 네가 너무너무 보고싶은 날 오늘이 딱 그러네 아직도 우리는 니가 너무 그리워 너무 많이 그리워.. 얼마전에는 샤이니 도쿄돔 공연이 있었구 어제는 태민이가 부도칸 공연을 갔어 다 보고 있지? 보고싶다 종현아 막내동생이 무대한다고 일본 따라다니던 니가, 멤버들을 살뜰히 챙기던 다정한 너가. 이럴때보면 사람은 참 이기적이야 그치? 너만큼 다정한 사람이 없다싶다가도 난 꼭 네 다정이 그리워 널 찾아. 미안해. 그리고 너무 보고싶어. 또 봄이 오고있어. 네 생일도.. 네가 떠났던 날은 아직 어제같은데 우리가 함께했던 시간은 왜 이렇게 오래된것 같은지.. 보고싶다. 내 기억이 흐려지는게 이리도 원망스럽지 않을수가 없어. 그래도 여전히 사랑할게. 시간이 아무리 흘러도 난 널 사랑할게. 그러다 한참 나중에, 우리가 다시 만나면 꼭 보고싶었다고 반갑게 인사할게. 너무 그리웠다고, 미안했다고, 사랑한다고. 전해줄 이야기가 듣고싶은 이야기가 너무 많네. 이제야 제대로 보는 이 뮤직비디오도.. 언젠가 지금처럼 하나씩 널 더 마주할수있는 날이 오겠지. 그렇게 다 마주하다보면 우리가 만날 시간일지도 모르고. 보고싶다. 내가 뭐라고 횡설수설하는건진 모르겠지만 그냥.. 보고싶다구. 사랑한다구. 고맙다구.. 또 올게 내 자랑. 잘 지내고 있어. 난 또 종종 찾아올게🤍

this video and song represents his whole life story. all the successes and accomplishments he had throughout the 9 years as a SHINee member and a solo artist. I truly can not believe he went through all that pain by himself. i really can't forgive myself for not helping. jonghyun, you did well. may your soul rest in peace. i will always love, support, and respect you. you're always alive in my heart. i'll always remember you as a poet and an artist and as someone who was a truly great human being. someone who was kind, loving, and extremely determined. thank you for all your hard work and music. i hope that you are happy and in a better place. please, rest. rest in peace. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND REMEMBER YOU!! 💕💕

*For some reason, Shinin' didn't impact me on a emotional level as this song/MV did. Maybe it's because Shinin' was an upbeat and peppy song; whereas this one is more of a ballad and a slower/sadder track. We won't get to see Jonghyun perform this comeback, but maybe he's doing it right now in Heaven. Let's stay strong Shawols, and fellow Kpop-lovers. And thank you Jonghyun; for being such a humble yet bright light in this world and in the world above us in the sky now, you were truly an inspiration to me, and millions of other people. You did well, and we miss and love you dearly 💗*

항상 27살인 소년에게: 다시 종현이 생일이야! 우리 모두 당신을 많이 그리워합니다... 최선을 다하길 바랍니다. 앞으로도 멤버들과 샤월 모두를 지켜주는 천사가 되어주세요! 우리는 항상 사랑합니다.

쫑구야 이제는 네가 닿지 않을 어딘가에서 분명 행복해하고 있을 거라고 굳게 믿고 있어 요새 여기는 봄이 와서 꽃이 엄청 예쁘게 펴 네가 있는 곳도, 그리고 너도 이제는 봄이지? 올해도 어김없이 봄의 한 가운데에 핀 쫑구의 생일을 축하해🥰

When you think your finally getting over it but this video reminds you that your not even close to getting over any of this.

This video hurts me the most of all. Because it makes me realise even more that he was a real person. I know this sounds super weird but seeing him laugh, goof around with his members, enjoying himself on stage and just these overall homemade videos it shows that he was just a regular guy with emotions that were sometimes dark and negative and that it wasn't always butterflies, sunshine, laughter, perfection and rainbows. That this idealised version that we have of our idols of having the perfect life isn't always what it seems. All I can say is that I'm proud of you Jonghyun, I will enjoy your music and respect you in all eternity. Hope you finally have the rest and peace that you needed. We will always love and miss you. R.I.P you beautiful man

내가 가장 좋아하던 그대, 당신의 목소리를 듣고 싶어서 다시 찾아왔어요. 청소년 시기 많은 방황의 끝에도, 지병으로 아픈 지금까지도 당신에게 위로받고 있습니다. 고마워요. 늘

Why I feel like “He’s still alive”?? This’s so sad.

2024년에도 여전히 듣는 노래❤

매년 이맘때면 더 너무 그리워 종현아… 거긴 따뜻한 봄이 우리보다는 항상 빨리 왔으면 좋겠어… 너무 춥지 않기를 항상 따뜻하고 행복하기를… 다 내려놓고 울수있게 해줘서 항상 위로 해줘서 고마워

I miss you. It still feels surreal but I kinda understand why you've left earth 😔 hope you're free from pain, love you JongHyun ❤️

I miss him so much. *"I never got the chance to learn how to change dull pain into pure joy. Pain is just pain"* This world didn't deserve him. I hope he's feeling better now. He was just in the wrong place, he belonged in heaven. And now he is. Please Jonghyun, take care of yourself and be happy. Do it. You deserve it, cause you know. *You did it so well* All the love from Italy. I miss you, Claudia♥️

This video makes me think about why we cry so much about celebrity deaths. We never met them, just saw videos and maybe on a stage on the other side of an auditorium. We still have all of the old videos, we just aren’t getting new videos.

2023년의 종현이는 여전히 아름답다 나의 젊은 날을 아름다운 음악과 무대로 형형색색 물들여주었던, 참 고맙고 아름다운 아티스트

I've never meet him yet. On 2017,I didn't know who he is or who is Shinee but now,im a Shawol. I really wanna see him even in my dream. Shinee too.

I hope you're happy up in there, living on your own star, on your own planet, with your precious rose, like the Little Prince. I will miss you till the last second of my life. And after that, after my last breath, please, great my soul of an old body with your open hands. We will meet again in a future. You did well, Jonghyun. I hope all the beautiful messages of your fans reached you well.

종현이 보려고 봄이 계속 안오나보다.. 우리 계속 보자

종현아 보고싶다.

HELLO JJONG !! It's been a year since you started your way back to heaven ... Even though time has passed, it still hurts like the first time the news came ... Do you remember when we promised to take care of SHINee just like you? you did it? Well ... we are doing it .. Jinki debuted as a soloist as Kibum .. only that the first one has already gone to fulfill his nation .. Taetae continues to reap success and Minho will star in a movie !!! Surely you already know, since you are always watching over them from up there .. Jjong I have a question. My friend Arianna is with you? She left shortly after you left ... you were her all loved dino ... Be that as it may ... I miss you both. And I miss every day ... but hey! I did what you asked for .. I started to smile more and live happily. I hope you are well and do not forget that even if the years pass ... I will continue to love you as the first time .. -Daniela.

Before spring comes Before it gets warm Shall we meet? Jonghyun-a We wanted but you left us before the meeting. Before the day comes When everyone else is asleep Let’s met . Jonghyun-a before dawn day, you left us, and visited us while we were sleeping. Actually, looking at you Watching over you makes me happy Just looking at you smiling Just watching over you makes me feel at peace . Jonghyun-a we know, we're happy too, just looking at you, see you smiling, you bring us peace too. I know this sounds foolish But I’m afraid to go to you Even if you don’t understand It’s alright, it’s alright Because there’s still a lot of time Before spring will come - Jonghyun-a dont look silly, you should not be afraid to tell us, we would understand you, it's not okay, no, not too long you're gone, without giving us the opportunity to tell you how much you are for us. Actually, I don’t want spring to come Don’t want it to get warmer Just looking at you smile from afar Makes my heart ache - Jonghyun-a nor do we want to, because this spring will be sad without you, it will not be the same, we also hurt our hearts to see you smile from afar. They say spring will come faster than last year But the cold and frozen winter is still here Don’t worry about what to do I’m alright, spring will come to me too - Jonghyun-a Come faster time away from you its sad but its true , for this one will always be a cold and frozen winter in our hearts since you're gone. we try not to worry, I hope it arrives for you and that finally you are really happy. I don’t want to go to you I’m afraid I’m contagious when I forget my tears and my sadness When spring comes to me too Then - Jonghyun-a do not talk like that about you, like you're crazy, you will not infect anyone, we have felt this way since you gone , and many of us felt like this before we meet you , no, we can not forget your sorrows, we just wanted you to have trusted us and told us, when spring comes for you, then you will say goodbye and rest in peace and finally be happy, sorry for not having noticed, the human being sometimes only thinks about him and nor does he perceive the pain of the other. just ... Goodbye Shawols

올해는 제대로 찾아왔다! 당신이 떠나간 날즈음엔 눈이 오구나. 대지를 포근하게 덮는 눈이 꼭 당신같네요. 그 본질이 시리고 차가울지라도, 모두를 안아주는 마음은 그 무엇보다 따뜻하니까. 그게 꼭 당신이랑 닮았어요. 멋진 당신에게 견줄 만한 사람은 아니지만, 같이 옆자리에 슬 만큼 대단한 사람은 아니지만, 멀리서 응원할 수 있어요. 그저 바라보는 것만으로도 좋아요. 당신이 좀 더 많이 많이 오래 오래 살다갔으면..하고 항상 바래요. 그러나 그게 당신에게는 나은 선택이 아니였을지도 몰라요. 그렇게 생각하면 정말 가슴이 아려와요. 조금만 더 일찍 당신을 마주할 걸… 항상 사랑하고 고마워요! 내년에도 또 내후년도에도 당신은 변함없이 반짝일거고 난 그 빛에 감탄하겠죠.

일하다 갑자기 들은 너의 부고 소식에 하루종일 일이 손에 잡히지 않았던게 어제 같은데, 벌써 6년이 지났다고 하네.. 널 보내고 그 다음해 겨울, 갑자기 버스에 있는데 울음이 터졌어. 그러곤 그 우울이 날 잠식했고 니가 떠난지 1년인걸 알게되었어..그 다음해도, 그 다음다음해에도 겨울만 되면 니가 떠올랐는데 작년하고 올해는 안 떠 올랐어.. 내가 제일 힘들때 위로 해줬던 너라서 더 잊고 싶지 않았고, 처음으로 콘서트에 가보고 싶단 생각 하게 해준 내 가수 였으니까 잊고 싶지않았어. 때론 너의 감초 같은 목소리로 노래를 더 돋보이게 하고, 때론 진심이 묻은 목소리가 날 위로했어. 오늘 다른 가수분 생일이라 그 가수분을 위한 노래가 나왔다고 하길래 듣다가 니 생각이 났어. 아 우리 종현이... 그래서 니가 갑자기 사무치게 보고 싶어 홀린듯이 니 이름 “종현“을 검색했거든? 근데 니 얼굴은 안 나오고 다 뉴스뿐인거야..그래서 또 울었어ㅎㅎ 스크롤을 내리다내리다 니 얼굴이 가득한 이 영상에 들어오게 되었고, 보다보니 왜 이리 눈물이 나는지ㅎㅎ 종현아 거기서는 좀 어때? 너가 힘들던건 좀 홀가분해 졌니? 난 니가 행복했으면 좋겠다. 노래하던 가수 종현도 좋아했지만 인간 김종현도 사랑했다. - 너가 보고싶어지는 밤에 너의 팬이-

All I ask is that today, 18 December 2018, is that you remember those who couldn't be here with us today and those who are still struggling with their mental health. Be kind to everyone. Not just today, but every day. You never know who is struggling and what might be the final straw. And most importantly, let's all remember Jonghyun. Not because of his death, and not because of the sad songs he wrote, remember him as being happy and cheerful. Remember him for who he was. Always.

이번에도 봄은 다시 돌아왔네요 수고했어요 나중에. 꼭 한번 다시 행복하게 웃고 있는 모습을 보면 좋겠어요. 다음 봄이 오기전에 올게요
