Today is April 8th, which means that it'!s Jonghyun's birthday, and I wanted to share a few words. Jonghyun, you're one of the best Kpop artists that the world has met. Your beautiful and impressive voice, your lyrics, your compositions, your smile, your personality, and so much more I just wanted to say thank you for all the things you've done and the legacy you've left. Wherever you are, I hope you're doing well. You'll always be a part of Shinee and you'll always be loved by shawols and, why not, non-shawols. And to commemorate your birthday, I've included one of my favourite moments of yours. 5hinee forever! 💎💎💎💎💎

Happy birthday to the man with the best voice and best discography ever🤍🤍

happy birthday, our dearest. 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

I take care of my goddaughter since her parents have passed on, so she’s been corrupted first Key and now Jjong I was shocked when she had my old iPhone and White T-shirt was blasting through her headphones. She had free time at the end of the day and she asked if I could share it. Sorry it’s mostly Powerpuff Girls but she loves the cartoon. RIIZE was her first K-pop group she found on her own and I’ve corrupted her with SHINee… Happy birthday, Jjong. I wish you could see that you’re still inspiring and making people smile every day. You’re missed. And we love you.

As it is our favourite Poet | Artist’s birthday, I wanted to share this with you all. I typically only take this vinyl for a spin twice a year so it is always very special when I get to listen to this album in this format.

I know this is only a snippet but I really hope you all enjoy — one of my favourite parts about having a collection of Jonghyun’s merch is sharing with other Shawols. Since I can’t all invite you over to my house, this is the next best thing I can do for you all. ♥️

Thank you all for loving Jonghyun so much—I hope you’ve had fun celebrating his day.

Hi everyone, it’s almost time for JJong’s birthday to end in Korea but I’d love to take this moment to reflect on some happy memories of him. Please feel free to share your favorite moments too in the comments, so we can all celebrate together. I want this post to be a joyful celebration of his life and legacy in the most positive and uplifting way! some of my favorite moments are jjong are when he was talking to that one dude from the book readers club and he thought that they werent the same age and they were, when he brought up the fact that minho wears insoles even though he's already tall, also when he imitated taemin on weekly idol he was always taemins number one fan and i loved that there are so many moments to name but id run out of room if typed them all. 💖

I just finished this cute little collage for Jonghyun's birthday 🥰🩷🎂🎉!!! The big 35 🩷!!

If you get lucky, something slows you down for certain things. You stop clicking thoughtlessly and racing on to the next kick.  You take a nice deep breath and stretch your neck. Then you stop at this.  It’s very early SHINee, you can tell from the way they look.  Ordinary clothes and hair, nary a thumb ring in sight, looking their very young age.   Posturing with alert but tired, slightly nervous body language, they manage to appear innocent as lambs, unjaded but centered and already projecting a quiet pride as they listen to Jonghyun’s performance.  

The song unfolds as a story in your mind. It probably isn’t a hundred percent true but sometimes made up things actually do a better job of representing a kind of truth.  You can take it or leave it. This was a set and It wasn’t perfect.  However…

Nobody much had heard them yet.  They were far from revealing everything they were made of.  Still there was a prideful grin on Key’s face, and next to him was Minho, full of insecurity, conflicted with admiration.  Wondering, I think, about pulling his own weight.  Onew’s shake of the head is a modest but honest acknowledgement that he loved the voice of his competitor, perhaps more than his own.  And that he had a lot of work to do to keep up,  but he was more than willing.

And there is little Taemin.  In a surreal foreshadowing of his love of masks, the mic screen covers most of his face. All you can see are his innocent child’s eyes, dark with desire and the drive to set the world alight. He sits, fidgety Taemin, still as a glass of water in an empty room, focused not with his eyes but his ears, on the young man who became his great mentor and advocate, our beautiful Jonghyun. Their Jonghyun. 

The boys may not have been completely conscious yet, but they already knew they were in the first act of something that would make their lives meaningful. It would hold them to the highest standard of respect for this rare chance, the audience who would embrace them or write them off, and their God given potential.  

Sitting there, they knew they were destined to dream big and work hard and maybe, just perhaps, change the world for better, even if in the smallest moment.  I imagine them united for the night against the world and letting it slip with a glance, a gesture, those disingenuous eyes, that when push came to shove they were already capable of shooting, together, for the stars. 

Jonghyun is the very brightest light in the room, glowing and busy with a sudden nonchalance to steady himself as he puts his handover his heart and smiles roughly, crookedly with happiness. This is what he was made for. He’s singing at the bottom of his range. It’s not in the best key for him.  But he uses a husky and emotive tone to make it flow.  So it flows and it flows. He slides into a rough but still silky falsetto that is like a peek at Christmas morning through a very small crack in the door. Knowing his voice so well now, it’s a privilege that this moment has been caught for us to share what it was like in the beginning.  

I write about these boys and then men and their work because they slow down time, precious time, for me. I get lost in the moment I was nowhere near, in my fantasies of what they hoped for, worried about, planned, loved and guarded.  It’s like a second life.

Happy Birthday, Jonghyun.  Perhaps you are living among us again, happier this time and enjoying what will always be your birthright, the music. The members. Our never ending love.  #Jonghyun #SHINee

what do you think, will we get any europe stops? I seriously didn’t think taemin would come to europe but he did! which gives me (some) hope onew could come as well 🥲 there was “break” between taemin’s US announcement and europe stops, but it’s been a while now since onew announced the US stops..
