[soompi] shinee talks emotionally about moving forward as a group after jonghyun’s passing

source: soompi 

trigger warning: death, grieving, mental health

shinee appeared as guests on mbc’s radio star, and they shared their thoughts on promoting as a group following the passing of member jonghyun last december. in the may 30 episode, mc yoon jong shin said to shinee, “there recently was a sad incident. while promoting, you became four members. i heard that you hesitated about appearing on ‘radio star.‘” minho said, “we worried about doing shows in general. there are parts of variety shows where you have to do it in a fun way, so i wondered if this was the right thing to do. i also wondered if it was okay to release an album and to promote. as time gradually passed, we recollected ourselves and talked about the future, and i think our emotions settled down.” taemin explained, “the incident happened at a point when my personality was changing [to be more outgoing]. i became ambitious about my solo activities, and it was right at that point when i realized that my members are really great.” he became teared up as he talked, and then said he wouldn’t be able to continue. when onew was asked about how it was said that he’d received counseling because he wasn’t able to cry, onew replied, “it was like that at first. i thought that i shouldn’t cry.” he then became tearful, and the hosts told him that he didn’t need to talk about anything that brought up sad thoughts, so onew nodded and apologized. key said, “after it happened, i received counseling and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. there’s a reason why we decided to hold the concert in japan and appear on radio star. we couldn’t see that as a cause of our collapse, and although the expression ‘overcoming’ isn’t right either, we wanted to acknowledge it and in order for us to promote, we thought that it should be something we address first instead of someone else talking about it.” he continued, “after it first happened, it was so hard when i went out and people asked, ‘are you okay?’ so i wrote on my social media account asking people to treat me as they normally do so that i could return to my normal life.” when asked about their concert in japan, key said, “we held a tokyo dome concert for [jonghyun] hyung and for the fans. we wanted to send him off together to a good place while missing him.” he explained that the venue had been booked a year earlier for all five members. “i never imagined that there would bad things said about that,” he went on to say. “there were comments posted too. they said that we were using a sad event as marketing. i hated hearing that so much.” taemin said, “i always sought to show something good for others, but i now want to do it for us. we worked together for so long and the result was that if we didn’t overcome this then our members would separate, and we didn’t want that, so we decided we had to try to overcome it. it was the same with the album.” minho added, “i don’t think that everything will be okay. but when we perform or when our music plays, i think we’ll be able to have strength and enjoy it while doing well if you think that it’s not just the four of us, but all of us doing it together. we couldn’t not talk about it on today’s broadcast, but there are some parts that we wanted to address, like key said. it’s not that everything is okay, but we’re going to work hard while promoting, and we hope you’ll look kindly on us.” shinee released their mini album, the story of light - ep. 1, and mv for title track “good evening” on may 28.

매우 특별한 천사가 이 세상을 떠난 후 약 3 개월이 지났으며 그는 더 이상 여기서 없습니다. 그래, 샤이니의 김종현에 대해 말하고 있습니다. 그는 케이팦 그룹의 멤버 이상이었습니다. 그는 가수, 작가, 작곡가, 형, 오빠, 아들 그리고 많은 사람들에게 좋은 친구였습니다. 솔직히, 그때 저는 다른 그룹처럼 샤이니에 많은 관심이 없었습니다 그렇지만, 태민씨와 그의 아름다운 목소리와 춤 추는 재능에 대한 알기 때문에 천천히 샤이니에 관심을 갖게 되었습니다. 종현씨가 저의는 가장 관심을 끌었습니다. 그의 목소리는 정말 대단했어서 당신은 그가 좋은 성격을 가지고있는 것을 바로 알았습니다. 그 날에 제가 일어났을 땐 제 핸드폰을 봤다가 그의 사망에 대한 소식을 들었던 완전히 충격을 받았습니다. 그 날과 몇 일주일 후에 저는 많이 울었습니다. 전에 그 사람을 만났 본 적이 없지만 저는 저를 정말 좋아했습니다. 그의 사망으로 저는 매우 상심했고, 지금도 그 슬픔을 극복하고자 노력하고 있습니다. 그의 사망 후에 몇 달 동안, 저는 그 사람에 대해 할 수 있는만큼 배우려고 노력했습니다. 저는 그에게 무슨 일이 일어 났는지 알고 싶었고 그의 인생에 자살하기 위해서 무엇을 겪었는지 알고 싶었습니다. 그가 우울증을 고생했으며 도움을 얻으려고 노력했고 저는 얼마나 강한 사람인지 깨달되었습니다. 포기하기로 결정하기 전에 얼마나 오래 그리고 얼마나 고통을 받았는지 모르겠습니다. 제가 왜 그와 함께 너무 연관이 있다고 느끼는 이유는 제가 수년간 앓고있는 문제가 있기 때문이라고 생각하고 포기하고 싶은 생각을 하지 않은 날이 없었습니다. 저는 종현씨가 그것을 오랫동안 견뎌 낸 것이 자랑스럽고 그가 훌륭한 사람이고 행복할 자격이 있기 때문에 더 나은 곳에 고통이 없기를 진심으로 바래요. 평화롭게 쉬다, 우리 천사 종현아 💙

“we can be together in this space, while being on the other side of the earth. we can be together at any time now, not just at 12 o'clock. physical matters certainly remained indifferent in our space. i only hope for this to never cease. i hope this space that belongs to you and me, be the site for anyone to rest in tranquility. i hope for our memories to rise as reminiscences and embrace you like no other. this is dedicated to those who have created our space together. thank you.”
