To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
  • Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
  • When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
  • No reposting of old material unless justified
  • Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
  • No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
  • Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
  • No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
  • No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
  • Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)

Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Yeah I'm quite shocked. He had some great songs and seemed quite cool from what I've seen of him.

RIP

Fuck, I really like SHINee and Jonghyun. He was a phenomenal singer/songwriter, this is a huge loss to not just SM and SHINee but the kpop industry as a whole.

RIP Jonghyun, thank you for your wonderful music.

The final words from his suicide note are crushingly sad.

Just tell me I worked hard.
That it was good of me to come this far.

Being a literal slave of your agent, being dictated how to use your phone, who you can befriend and date and so forth and so on, probably doesn’t help.

Kpop is commercially engeneering pop star (and their music). It’s marketing made flesh and the way it’s done is by preventing their stars to deviate one bit from what has been decided in an office would be the most successful receipe.

If you ask me and for all its efficiency, kpop exemplify everything that can be wrong with commercial pop and the darkest side of korean society. The letter from his agent made me feel nauseus. Poor kid.

It was taken from Nine (of Dear Cloud) social media. JongHyun left instructions for her to release when he passed. His family permission was sought and granted before Nine release the note.

Does sound partially like the crushing workload and fame got to him, really sad. Constantly having to keep up appearances and work tirelessly only to not find happiness is pretty destructive. Hopefully something will come out of this to improve the dark side of the kpop industry.

They better protect his psychologis btwt, if word gets out who he is the public will destroy him.

I'm not sure if the kpop industry is the real cause of his depression. Maybe Koreans in general just dismiss this condition instead of giving him treatment for it.

What you can read about the kpop industry and the way those kids are treated by their own... I mean « agents » is beyond horrifying.

He could just leave SM if he hates the company. But his letter sounds like he has been struggling with depression for a while and can't find anyone to help him.
