(180116) @bumkeyk: hello, this is shinee’s key. i’m talking to you guys for the first time in a while. i’ve been thinking a lot lately and even though it’s a bit late, i figured it would be good to say it myself. ahead of our upcoming tour, i will be greeting you guys through a prerecorded reality show with boa. some might find it a bit early, but i’m planning to pull myself together and return to daily life. the other members are trying to get back on their feet as well. we can’t say that what happened with jonghyun was a breaking point. that would worry jonghyun, his family, and many other people. it’s upsetting that i can’t see him at the moment, but i know he’s waiting for me just around the corner. now more than ever, i want to gain strength and keep jonghyun in our presence as we promote, rather than trying to fill up his space. it might be too much to ask, but i hope that whenever and wherever you see us, you will treat us and love us like you always have. i would be very thankful for that. if you continue to support us so that we can hang in there, we promise we won’t disappoint. thank you.

i want to believe this decision to continue the domes is coming from a place of strength. that they are searching for answers, comfort, closure, like us all. and that this is something they feel they need to do, that they hope is right to do, for their brother. i wish them all the strength they need, that they truly take care of themselves, and I hope they find the support they need in each other, jonghyun’s name, in all of us. and i hope, as shawols, we can find the strength to support them as well as they have us.
this is his legacy. jonghyun’s legacy. shinee’s legacy. weaved together like stars in a constellation. a legacy being so carefully tended to by his four brothers.
i am shocked. i am worried. but i know i am also so, so proud. they really are trying for us. all i can honestly say to Jinki, Kibum, Minho, Taemin. and Jonghyun. is thank you. thank you so damn much.
you’ve all worked so hard. you’re working so hard. thank you.
hello. this is shinee’s taemin.
to be honest, at first i did not have the confidence to hold the concert tour. however, we made a promise to the fans and from now on and in the future i do not want to be apart from shinee.
when i look back at my most comfortable and happiest moments i remember those times i’m with my members …. and all our fans. the more i want to attached to the name shinee and to my co-members, the more i cannot give up.
i know that from now on the future will never be easy. but for shinee’s name to not lose it’s light and continue shining for a bit longer i will do my best to make (the concert) unforgettable.
i made too many beautiful memories with the members and everyone and i’m very grateful for that. i want to treasure those moments and remember them forever.
also, from now on, i want to be loved as shinee and receive self-confidence from the member watching us from the skies in order to get over and perform as shinee would on stage.
i’m really sorry for making the fans worry. please watch over our future from now on. since it’s cold please take care of your health. take care of us this year, too. (source: keihissi)
hello. this is shinee’s key.
thank to all of your worries, i, too have been making an effort to pull myself together and return to my daily life. there are times where i shed tears because traces of jonghyunnie hyung spring memories of all our past times to mind, and my heart aches but i’m trying hard to overcome it well by thinking that i’m spending time with hyung.
i know that everyone supports shinee’s unchanged activities and though i also worried about it a lot i thought that it wouldn’t do to simply give everything up and hope that my heart would become whole.
in the midst of many people’s worries we have decided to continue with the japanese dome concerts that were planned. this decision is the “us” that jonghyunnie hyung would want, and i thought that keeping our promise with all of you and showing you a good stage would be the most “shinee-like” thing to do.
this year is the year of our tenth anniversary since we debuted as shinee. i’m so thankful to you for always cheering for us and encouraging us, and we will repay you with a stage that is “shinee-like”. i love you and thank you. (source: sullaem)
