iu’s full mnet before her performance of “우울시계 (gloomy clock) ” at her solo concert yesterday evening (december 15th) can be heard in the above video. all previous translations of what she had said still give the same general sentiment, but the above gives a complete and better understanding of both the mnet and dedication to jonghyun.

it’s not even been a week and we already got a pic

during her performance of “우울시계 (gloomy clock)” in singapore last night (december 15th), iu changed a line of the lyrics to “종현이 빛이나” which translates to “jonghyun shines”. the alteration can be heard around 0:18 in the above fancam. (source)

at her concert in singapore last night (december 15th) iu altered her tour setlist to include “우울시계 (gloomy clock)” into the encore. before beginning the song she explained the inclusion of it by saying: “this song wasn’t in the setlist, but i’ve been thinking about it a lot. it brings me a lot of comfort. i am going to sing this song for someone i really terribly miss.” iu included the backing track of the song that includes jonghyun’s voice in the performance, and switched out her usual microphone to a pearl aqua one. “우울시계 (gloomy clock)” is a duet between jonghyun and iu that was composed and written by him and featured on her 2013 album, modern times.

We’re going to get through this. We’re going to be strong because Jinki, Kibum, Minho and Taemin need us to be strong. We’re going to be kind to each other, support each other, hold each other up and make Jonghyun proud. This tragedy will not define us and it will not define Jonghyun. He was a beacon of tolerance, health, kindness, positivity and joy, and that is what we need to cling to. I know today is so dark, and it hurts so bad, but it won’t feel like this forever. We won’t cry forever. And Jonghyun wouldn’t want us to. Please remember that.

whenever a celebrity commits suicide, a lot of mental health related posts pop up on my dash and timeline, and don’t get me wrong, i’m all for talking about these issues and spreading awareness (that’s pretty much what this post is about too), but there is so much more that needs to be done. hitting reblog/retweet is quick and easy, and it’s a good thing, but i don’t think it’s enough to really make a difference.

in a week or two, all these posts will die out again, and the majority won’t talk about it anymore until someone else takes their own life. this isn’t really changing much. i don’t have a perfect solution, but for once, i think we should start discussing these topics a lot more offline.. and not only whenever something happens. 

no one is ashamed to say they’re seeing the dentist, but talking about an appointment at the psychiatrist/psychologist is hard. telling someone you need to take pills because your blood pressure is too high is no problem, but talking about taking antidepressants or other psychotropic medication is a taboo. it’s like no one acknowledges that mental health is just as important as physical health (offline, at least).

also, all the posts/tweets about being there for people who want to talk or the ones saying that mental health problems are valid and everyone should prioritise their own health and seek help.. they’re nice, and better than nothing, but more or less useless. it takes a lot more that that to actually help someone who is mentally ill.

someone with a mental disorder can’t be that easily assured that they really aren’t going to bother anyone by talking about their problems. trusting and reaching out can be extremely difficult. thoughts like “it’s not that bad” and “you don’t deserve help/attention” don’t just go away because something like that pops up online. even if someone directly reaches out to them, it can still be extremely hard to share, BUT someone else making the first step and showing genuine interest can make it easier. 

so what i’m saying is: privately and personally reach out to your friends and let them know that you care. just check up on them now and then. but don’t burden yourself too much. you are not responsible for anyone else, and if your (mental) health is in danger, you need to take proper care of yourself too.

moreover, people still continue to use words like “triggered” and “depressed” for things that are trivial and have nothing to do with actual mental illnesses. this isn’t every day language. it’s not funny. you’re not depressed when you feel a little sad. just because you get a little nervous, you don’t have anxiety. don’t use autistic as an insult. triggered is a medical term which is not taken seriously by anyone anymore, so no, it shouldn’t be used for jokes. anorexic and bulimic are not synonyms for thin or picky eater…. 

there are still a lot of things that have to change, and no, i don’t think this post is going to make a huge difference either, and i’m definitely not the first person who has said these things.. but if i can reach a few people with this, it was already worth it.

Jonghyun has left an amazing legacy in so many fields, so here are a list of the lil random Jonghyun moments that never failed to make me laugh or smile…My beautiful angel, I’ll always thank you for bringing so much joy and hope into my life.

Like a Fire concert version adlibs

His savageness towards DoniConi on Weekly idol - JjongPD  “IT’S JUST ‘CTRL C, CTRL V’”

Speaking of Weekly idol - Jonghyun’s competitiveness that rivalled Minho’s. Who else would do that many push ups for a tiny piece of beef??

Him oneshotting some Cola lololoolol

High note battle with a soldier

Walking Listerine CF during Crazy era

Jonghyun and his ice bucket challenge, wanting to get all the Jonghyun’s together

Hacking into SMTOWN’s youtube channel to post a video of Roo

The birth of Taemin fanclub president - when he got drunk, fanboyed and came up with the nickname Dracula Oppa

Falling into the little hole where your legs were meant to go and waving cutely whilst dancing Everybody on Hello Counsellor

When Onew threw the pen in Beatle’s Code and it hit Jjong in the face instead of Minho

His acoustic version of Lucifer!!! (and Mucifer’s lol)

Jonghyun and Onew’s failed attempt at laundry during Hello Baby

This glorious picture that is the epitome of JongKey

Jonghyun creating a youtube channel for the ice bucket challenge and uploading Minho’s and Taemins, and then a  bday video of Key getting a cake in the face 

“I plagiarised ‘ACE’ and this is ‘BASE’. They’re connected. Taemin: “Wow I got a Jonghyun photocard!!” Key: “Am I in there too?”

Teasing sleeping Jjong

Jonghyun biting Taemin’s arm in this iconic video where they have to pretend to be calling their “girlfriend”

Fly High, Kim Jonghyun

Rest well, Jonghyun.

Ive been away from this blog for quite some time due to commitments but I came back to pen down some thoughts that struck me deep in my heart. I wouldnt name myself a shawol but SHINee were the ones that brought me into the kpop world. I was in shock when I saw the news of the suicide and I prayed and prayed that it was false. But luck was not on our side and he had to go. 

I didnt expect myself to be so affected by this, but it really hit me hard. He seemed so happy, so contented and so bright. But beneath that all was a guy that was so lonely, so sad and so unhappy. I’ll always remember coming back to school in a hurry to watch Hello Baby on my computer and dancing to Ring Ding Dong almost everywhere. 

Jonghyun sacrifice himself to wake the people of the kpop industry up. You wont know what is happening behind our idols’ smile and tbh we will never know. But as fans of the kpop world, we can stop hate and spread love. Let the idols know that they are being appreciated and they are doing well. You dont have to “stan“  them to appreciate them. Every single one of the idols deserve it, they work hard to entertain our lives and make us happy. Its not that hard just to say “ You are doing well xxx!��

–

To Jonghyun, 

Thank you for bringing joy to my life and probably to many others too. You may not have felt that you were good enough but you were the best to many of us. You may have felt that you lack talent, but to us you were one of the most talented vocalist/songwriter in the idol industry. Im so sorry that we were unable to make you feel that way. 

It must have felt so so bad that you would want to end your life. It must have felt so lonely during your last days. Saying sorry wont change anything but you have lived well jonghyun ah. God wanted you away from this cruel cruel world. So be filled with happiness and laughter up in heaven. I hope you are in a brighter and happier place.

You did well, you’ve worked hard Jonghyun ah. 

Its time to rest now. 

We’ll let you go because you were hurting but we will never let go of the memories in our heart. We will remember you forever. 

Goodnight.
