Jonghyun: *distressed*

Jinki: What's wrong?

Jonghyun: I just saw Minho pour three bags of sugar into the washing machine because he wanted to make cotton candy.

Jinki: Ooh. Did it work?

Jonghyun: No???

something about taemin debuting with ace then jjong following with base then taemin having the base to ace lyric in a song called identity feels like a full circle moment when i say jongtae's artistry is like two sides of the same coin

The SM Entertainment Group That Stood Out From The Rest With Their “Rushed” Debut

They seemed to just hope for the best!

When it comes to debuts, SM Entertainment often makes grand ones. EXO, for instance, had 23 teasers released over the span of three months in 2012.

On the flipside, the boy group that debuted before them hardly had any promotions.

SHINee is one of their original boy groups, debuting in 2008 with the song “Replay.” Though their formation took several years, their announcement to the public was quick.

SM Entertainment announced the existence of SHINee on May 19, 2008. They released the teaser images of the group on this same day as well.

Unlike with their other groups such as Red Velvet, EXO, and Girls’ Generation, the company did not slowly introduce the members one by one. They revealed all five—Minho, Onew, Jonghyun, Taemin, and Key—at the same time.

Moreover, the music video was released on May 22, just three days after the teaser images dropped.

In comparison, Red Velvet’s “Happiness” was released around one month since the member teasers were revealed while EXO’s debut music video for “MAMA” was released three months after their first teaser featuring Kai.

Netizens commented that SHINee’s debut made it seem like the company just “hoped for the best” with how short the releases were.

Regardless, SHINee’s “Replay” was a massive success. A panel of 35 music critics and industry experts from MelOn and the Seoul Shinmun even named one of the top 100 K-pop songs of all time.

Happy 34, dearest Bling Bling Jonghyun ♡

I woke up a few hours ago, and just lied in bed for a while, thinking about a bit of everything. you were on my mind too, but I don't why I didn't even remember it was your birthday. as I kept thinking about you, I suddenly realized that oh, april 8th. it's... his birthday today.

34 years ago on this day, you were born. had you been alive... you would have turned 34 today. it breaks my heart that you didn't even make it to 30. you left way too early.

it's strange how during these nine years that I've known you, so much has changed about me, yet I still remain as charmed by you as ever. yet I still love you and everything about you just as much as I did when I first became a fan, if not more. it's strange because I am not like that. but I guess you were just always that to me: an exception to everything.

I don't quite know how it makes sense to wish a dead person a happy birthday. but I am still going to do it, just because I genuinely mean it. and also because I just realized the duration of someone's existence, whether they're dead or alive, is something that is always worth celebrating. and what's more worthy of celebration than the duration of your existence, dear jjong? so happy 34, jonghyun. I love you.
