Family, SM Colleagues, Friends, and Fans Say Farewell as SHINee’s Jonghyun Laid to Rest

You worked hard, Jonghyun. You did well, and please be at peace now. It was heartbreaking to read Jonghyun’s final letter that he intended as a suicide note, filled with so much despair with no hope for a brighter future. That his passing this week left behind so many grieving family, friends, and fans was not something he wished for but the desire for a released trumped in the end. His final journey from the funeral home to his resting place was a media zoo but also a respectful one, as the media was simply there to chronicle this event since he was a famous celebrity and did so with proper respect. The coffin was carried by his SHINee group mates and members of Super Junior, with his older sister carrying his picture and leader Minho carrying his plaque. I hope SM is providing grief counseling for its stars, and that Jonghyun fans grieve without doing anything drastic. My heart goes out to Jonghyun’s family the most and I hope his parents and sister lean on all the support around them to get through this toughest period and find the strength for the future.

  • that key and onew pic make me cry again,
    this is a heartbreaking moment and we need to let him go, it just the feeling don't go in an instant

  • You did well, Jonghyun.

    At least, wherever he is now, he could see how much he was loved. I admire Minho the most, he was most composed but god knows how he feels deep inside since they are practically a unit.

    R. I. P Jonghyun.

  • RiIP jjong, i jope whenever you are now, you can found what you searching for.
    I hope his family and close friends be strong and find comfort and ease their pain.
    Ming is really admirable for his composure. Key ... T_T.... please be well key..
    really worried about onew and tae.
    Onew in particular, because he is the leader (not ming) and the scandal he has earlier this year. I hope he doesnt blame himself.. and dont fall to depression too. He also has/had history of depression before. He looks so haggard, but still provide comfort to key.. uri leader till the end..
    Tae, he has this numb and lost look in his face. I worried because almost never cry or let off guard of his emotion. I worry if he would bottled up his pain only to be exploded in terifyingly manner later. I was like that when my aunt died because of suicide 6 years ago..
    Everyone, please be well and strong!!

  • T T Rest in peace, the one you were craving for so badly.

    I can't see Onew, is he the one behind Taemin in the third pic from the bottom? And who are the 2 guys 4th pic from the bottom? The one where 1 guy is on another's shoulder and crying....

    • key is the one leaning,onew is the one being leaned on.he looks beyond haggard that I'm actually worried of him.

      • Realised that after i watched a video...Yes, his hair is so long and unkempt. He looks so emotionless that it's worrying. People who cry out loud at least get their feelings out, those who bottle are the scary ones... Very sad.

    • Onew is the leader of Shinee but he is not leading the funeral procession. Minho and Jonghyun's sister are leading it. He is the plaque holder with Jonghyun's sister holding his picture.

      I think the person supporting Key when he cried is Taemin. Isn't Onew (blond) on the other side of the coffin, when they were pallbearers bringing Jonghyun out?

      • The 3 pallbearers on the left side of the coffin were Shinee members (minus Minho). The 3 on the right were SuJu members.
