화랑 - a tale of curiosity [ON HOLD]

Kim Jonghyun

It is such sad news to hear that this lovely soul has passed away. It rips a huge hole through my heart.

It doesn't matter what fandom anyone one if us is in, this is a huge loss to the kpop community as a whole, and allows us to all put all our differences aside, and mourn together.

I am at a loss for words. Though I wasn't a huge supporter of SHINee, I know that Jonghyun has played a huge role in the kpop industry, amongst many other accomplishments under his name, that he achieved individually and with his members.

This is a very sad time, and I can only say how much this hurts me, and can only imagine the pain of others. My sincere condolences to his all close friends, family and band members who are struggling through this very difficult time and to the very devoted fans of SHINee and Jonghyun stans.

A huge loss for us all.

Fly high, Jonghyun😇

The details of his devastating death are on the internet, to which I don't feel comfortable to address on here myself. Though, it it assumed at the moment to most likely be a suicide.

Suicide is already a damaging factor within the Korean population, with a much higher rate then other countries. It shows that no matter how anyone looks on the outside, you can never tell what they are really thinking or feeling. This goes for idols especially, since their opinions and emotions can often go ignored for the welfare of publicity.

Idols are human. They feel just as much as we do, even if they don't show it.

Jonghyun's tragic death is a reminder of this.

Also, that men - overall - do have a significantly higher rate of committing suicide then compared to women. It's sad to say, but suicide is an epidemic. It is impossible to save everyone, and that breaks my heart, but I am doing my best to help make everyone aware of this serious problem.

Please, I beg with all my heart. If any one of you have a problem, no matter how big or small, please remember that you have a wide array of people behind you. To support you. I love you. Please take time and think about how the beatiful moments in life outweigh the bad by millions.

You are lucky to be alive.

You are special.

You are beautiful.

If any of you have your doubts, tell someone. I can be that someone. Please, don't bottle them in. The consequences are heartbreaking.

Again, my condolences go out to Jonghyun's family, friends and fans, and I hope that his tragic passing can allow us to become more aware that these topics should be spoken about.

May your soul rest in peace, Jonghyun 💜
