As you all know, SHINee‘s Jonghyun has passed away due to what appears to be a result of suicide.
We are heartbroken over the loss of Jonghyun. The world has lost a true artist, a kind heart, a brilliant voice, and a treasured son, brother, friend, and idol to many. We mourn his loss along with you all. Out of respect for this horrendous tragedy, we will not be posting news, etc for a full 24 hours. We would like to take this extended time of silence as a day to honor this amazing person who was taken too soon from the world.
When something of this nature happens, we tend to raise our faces to heaven and ask “why??” We cannot pretend to know what was going on in Jonghyun’s mind and what led him to take this drastic step. However, we do know that one can never judge someone for their actions until they have walked a mile in their shoes.
We do, however, encourage each and every one of you to not give up in your own struggles as well. Many of our own staff have been affected by suicide and/or struggled with suicide attempts of their own. We understand the darkness you can feel, as well as the hopelessness. However, we encourage you to keep the faith and ask for help. You can find suicide help for any country by clicking HERE.

Stray strong and honor Jonghyun today as the world mourns the loss of one so loved by so many.
Our precious, sweet Jonghyun, RIP. Your battle is over and we pray you have at last found peace in the arms of God.
