To Everyone Startled By The News Of Jonghyun

to everyone startled by the news of jonghyun

please remember jonghyun for what he is and not for what he did.

please remember him for the laughter and the smiles he brought forth.

please remember him for his musicality and his persistent hard work.

and please, please remember that he wouldn’t have wanted the same fate on you.

This sweet young man has left us. Your music brought me joy. I'm sorry that you had to leave so soon. I hope you are at peace.

What a shocking and devastating news. 😞 May God give his family and friends the strength and fortitude to bear this tragic loss, and may his soul rest in peace.
