They left a mic for him. They left a mic... Jonghyun always wrote songs for SHINee but this time SHINee wrote a song for Jonghyun.

The videos is 5:10 long. 5 members. 10 years.

"SHINee is always one, whatever we do derives from that" - Jonghyun

this song wasn't made to trend and have 100 million views or what not, it's a song for shinee and shaowls to honour everything theyve done and jonghyun. it's a song for shinee and shawols to healthily accept what happened and to acklnowledge that shinee is always 5 and always will be and we will forever hold jjong in our hearts even if we have to keep moving on without him physically here. there's a reason this song is never performed

Jjongie always wrote songs for SHINee and now SHINee wrote a song for him...

*You know what broke my heart? The fact they all look so mentally tired but once they step on the stage and there's the 5th microphone, they look stronger because they still feel Jonghyun's presence. That's so beautiful.*

"My voice is important. my opinions are important. other people's voices and opinions are equally important. why are there so many people who don't understand this reasoning?"ㅡKim Jonghyun

"When your tears are falling just let them shed. I wish you'll think of it as if that weight inside your heart is getting out of your body drop by drop like that." - Jonghyun

Let’s not cry because he’s gone, but let us smile because he was here.

To this day, I still do not know where these boys found the strength to come back the way they did after Jonghyun. I really don't.

"Physical scars and psychological scars are different. I hope everyone can think for a second that scars exist even if you can’t see them.”ㅡKim Jonghyun.

May 25, 2008 13 years passed, But our boys will forever shine.

4:35 Onew says "수고했어" which means "you did well" im crying 😭

English lyrics for whoever wants to cry more: Can you feel it? We’re connected By our hearts that are transparent like invisible string When I stand again on the road we walked on together There are five overlapping hands, tears and memories It’s so clear, I don’t want to forget, I can’t forget The pretty words you left behind become a poem, become a song Our voices are flying, we know it’ll reach you wherever you are If a star vanishes, will everything be forgotten? I’m holding the precious you in my arms I want to fill the pages of this story that isn’t over yet Until the very end I’ll say that I miss you But it won’t fill up my empty heart tonight We’re facing each other, we’re still the same We’re still the boys who are dreaming The pretty words you left behind become a poem, become a song Our voices are flying, we know it’ll reach you wherever you are If a star vanishes, will everything be forgotten? I’m holding the precious you in my arms I want to fill the pages of this story that isn’t over yet Until the very end May 25, 2008 Boys shining brightly Like green waves of spring That time will spread and flow forever The pretty words you left behind become a poem, become a song Our voices are flying, we know it’ll reach you wherever you are If a star vanishes, will everything be forgotten? I’m holding the precious you in my arms I want to fill the pages of this story that isn’t over yet Until the very end (cr. popgasa)

i don't know if anyone pointed this out or noticed this already, but it's recommended to either take a cold shower or hold ice cubes to help overcome suicidal thoughts. I thought it was too much of a coincidence that the ice cubes appeared three times in the music video. If you're struggling with suicidal thoughts, know that this might help a bit! But most of all, don't do it alone, okay? You're not alone. Reach out to someone. I believe in you! (:

My comfort song bruh..i listen to this when I'm completely sad

*Jonghyun you did well* *Jinki you did well* *Kibum you did well* *Minho you did well* *Taemin you did well* *SHINee you did well in the past 10 years but you will continue to keep doing well in the following years. Shawols are proud of you. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.*

Jonghyun who stood in the spotlight (Minho) Jonghyun who composed music (Onew) Jonghyung who was passionate/ who was a dancer (Key) Jonghyung who distracted himslef with training/ who was working hard (Taemin) of course there are much more sides to our angel but I guess this are at least the images the general public had of him.

“Be Happy, let’s all be happy” - Jinki.

샤이니 데뷔 이후로 언제나 샤이니의 존재와 곡들은 알고 있었지만 팬은 아니었는데 뒤늦게 샤이니 덕분에 인생 처음으로 덕질이라는 걸 해보는 늦덕입니다. 그리고 이제와 이 앨범의 가치를 뼈저리게 느끼고 있는 중이에요. 지금 생각해보면 종현이를 잃음으로써 가장 상처를 많이 받았을 사람들이 상처가 채 아물기도 전에 이런 곡을 녹음하고 뮤직비디오를 찍고 공연을 했다는 것이 얼마나 고통스러웠을지... 물론 오히려 상처를 드러내보이고 들여다봐주는 것이 회피하고 묻어두는 것보다 건강하게 이겨내는 방법이긴 하겠지만 그건 그 후의 일이잖아요. 이 당시에 이를 악물고 이 곡을, 이 앨범을 작업하면서 본인들의 상처와 상실을 들여다봤을 이 사람들이 참 대견하고, 대단하고, 자랑스럽고, 고맙네요. 늦덕이 된 이유는 샤이니의 음악성, 독창성, 인성, 팀워크 등등 많은 것이 있겠지만 무엇보다 이 사람들의 삶을 살아나가는 태도입니다. 제 주변 누구보다 저에게 삶을 어떻게 살아나가야 할지에 대해 큰 영감과 방향성을 주는 사람들이네요. 샤이니의 멤버 한명한명이.

This MV is one of the most beautiful and bittersweet pieces we could have ever received from them, because this is something that comes from their hearts. We have been struggling together, crying together and we still cannot deal with the reality, but as the MV shows days go by and we must keep moving upstairs even if we leave some loved ones behind. We will continue going upstairs by your side and with a beautiful angel watching us from above. I love SHINee and Shawol with my whole heart...

4:34 "수고했어요" 민호 말했다 ㅠㅠ Minho whispers "You did well" 😭

"My hyungs really are no ordinary people. This is really something I'm proud of, when I say SHINee are for the most part main vocalists, compared to others they also have no weaknesses and they have so many talents too."ㅡLee Taemin

After all these years I wasn't able to listen to this song after Jonghyun's passing, I wasn't able to listen to SHINee since I mised him so much and it made me sad not seen them together , him, next to Key,Onew,Tae and Minho were a ray of light for me when I was a teenager and well after listening to this song I know that he will alway live in our hearts and Shinee's heart too♡ .

*Sometimes it doesn't matter if you understand Korean or not, because the emotional melody, their facial expressions and their angelic voices is enough to touch your heart and understand everything they're feeling.*

Some people are saying SHINee flops or that some say that they're disappointed that the views are not impressive. Here's what.. SHINee didn't make this song for views, for awards.. They made it for their lost brother. This is a song where they express their yearning and appreciation for Jonghyun. This is a song where they try to comfort themselves and the fans, where we give each other strength. I personally don't mind the views because I understand that not all Shawols are capable to watch this at the moment. It's difficult to watch the members' raw and honest expressions in this mv, and the heavy emotions behind their voice. To our 5 beloved boys, you guys did well ♥️ Let's continue to give each other strength and support. Let's be strong like how the boys are trying to for us, Shawols. Let's stay strong for our beloved 5HINee ♥️

5 years now and I always come back here and watch the same videos every year. I miss you Jonghyun ♥️ You did well Angel 🌹

This song is a hymn to life, to loss and especially to eternal love.

Seriously SM, you should start to add english caption to all your artist official MV

I wonder how many people around the world are sitting in their rooms crying because of this MV at the moment.. 😔

I don't even know why suddenly i'm back here and reading the comments.

I couldn't hear this song cause I was always thinking of jjong and a week ago I lost my friend who was my vocal coach and now this song brings me comfort.... I miss you both a lot...

for the new shawols 1:05=> Onew 1:15=> Taemin 1:35=> Minho 1:45=> Key and if you look up at the sky you'll see Jonghyun, he's always be with us!

Our page English translation : Can you feel it ? We are connected Like a thread you can't see, our hearts are clear Tell me, promise me, in that sky Even though the road is difficult, let's keep walking Together let's stand again, walking on this road As five layer's stacked up, holding hands and crying together, all the memories It's so clear, I don't want to forgot it, I can't forget it The pretty word's that we've left for you, singing this song. We have become one. Our voices will fly to where you are, they will reach you,we know it When that star disappears, will we forget everything ? I want to hold you in my arms, you were important This is not the end for our stories page, let's be together until the end We miss you We want to tell you but That will not fill this empty heart tonight Let's face each other, we are together for eternity Even today, aren't we like dreaming boys The pretty word's that we have left for you, singing this song, we have become one Our voices will fly to where you are, they will reach you, we know it When that star disappears, will we forget everything ? I want to hold you in my arms, you were important This is not the end for our stories page, let's be together until the end We are the 2008 year May 25th boys The wave of a bright spring day Those moments are forever, the pages will unfold The pretty word's that we've left for you, singing this song, we have become one Our voices will fly to where you are, they will reach you, we know it When the star disappears, will we forget everything ? I want to hold you in my arms, you were important This is not the end of our page, let's be together until the end (until the end oh oh oh) Oh oh oh oh oh

It's beautiful realize that Shawols are still together and support Shinee forever! Also welcome to the new shawols :)

"Even without lights, you shine brightly Even without lights, you dazzlingly shine" - Jonghyun

who's having a shinee marathon in 2020?

*_Shinee will always be 5hinee._*

A lot of fans said "i cant listen shinee whithout Jonghyun because i cry". I m not agree with this, Onew, Taemin, Minho and Key will must live with this all their lifes and even with this they continue this adventure for us and for Jonghyun so, please, listen them, respect SHINee even if they are physically only 4! If you are a REAL shawol, you have to support them! SHINee 💎💎💎💎💎

"SHINee" is synonymous to the word "HOME"

*The fact that they include our fandom color in the music video makes it even more meaningful because through thick and thin shawols were always there to make them feel better and that won't change.*

Around 4:30 when it shows the mic.... onew says “you did well” The words Jonghyun always wanted to hear. We miss you..

I'm an EXO-L but alway come to watch/listen shinee things. man, I feel incredibly sad when I watch this !

It's 2023 and I still cry when I watch this. 💙😞

Lesson of the day: no one will ever top SHINee besides SHINee themselves. *EVER*

The most poignant phrases here are: "When I stand again on the road we walked on together There are five overlapping hands, tears and memories" and "Our voices are flying. We know it'll reach you wherever you are."

I don't want to be a hypocrite, I learned more about SHINee after what happened. But I just remember the fact that even if I wasn't a fan, I cried my eyes out that day as I was considering the same thing around those days and I just broke down in tears looking at his fans. It's been almost 4 years and I haven't stopped listening to them since then. I'm sad I didn't meet them before, but they sure became one of my favorite groups in a very short time and I hope I can continue to support them

I remember reading ‘the note’ online in 2018 but I wasn’t aware of SHINee as a group so much. Reading what Jonghyun wrote was so heartbreaking and this is coming from someone who just learned about k-pop in 2018. Fast forward to March 2019 I decided to try listening to a various k-pop artists and The Story of the Light captivated me in a way I never thought it would. I grew up listening to western music, particularly rock and indie but I’ve got to tell you there’s not a bad song on the album. Watching the video today has made me cry my eyes out. It’s so somber but at the same time a beautiful song where shinee are yearning for Jonghyun. I know it’s not something to be celebrated but why do I feel The Story of the Light should’ve won awards? I mean of the international kind.

Fact: everyone listening to this song rn is crying

*I don't care if this song becomes big but it truly deserves song of the year, everything is so beautiful and the message of this song is full of meaning.* *SHINee had the courage to write this song even though Jonghyun's death is still a fresh wound to all of us.* *They're a huge inspiration and their music has always been there to help a lot of people.*

"As if it was passing by, I saw your smile I’ve already deeply fallen Look at those chic eyes" - Jonghyun

I really like the meaning of this song. start a new leaf without forgetting the precious things. thanks for this melody.

I felt like sobbing today so HERE I AM.

Too underrated it's a shame. Every one that loves Kpop should be giving this song a like. No matter what fandom you're from.

Happy 14th Anniversary dear SHINee. I love you Onew I love you Jonghyun I love you Key I love you Minho I love you Taemin Shinee always 💙💙💙💙💙

I Miss SHINee so much, so here I am

5:10 5 MEMBERS 10 YEARS 💕💕💕💕💕

"our voices will fly to where you are, they will reach you, we know it" "this is not the end of our story's page let's be together until the end" "Even though the road is difficult let's keep walking " "We miss you, we want to tell you but, that will not fill this empty heart tonight" these lyrics❤️

내가 다시 샤이니 무대를 마주할 수 있게 해준 노래

SHINee is 5 forever!

I have never seen a group love each other the way that SHINee does. I'm not just talking about Kpop, but music in general. We've had boy and girl groups around forever and a day, but I have legit never seen five people love each other as fiercely as them. The fans suffered a great loss, but they lost a brother. What they lost is deeper than losing a favorite singer or labelmate. They lost a person that became a family member. People, please love each other. If you see the signs of depression, reach out and help. Ask questions, be there for someone in need, and learn about mental health. Tell your friends and family that you love them. Be a shoulder for a stranger to cry on. Thank you, SHINee, for showing us how to love.

I heard that Key said on an interview that there were people who said that Shinee was taking advantage of Jonghyun's death to become more popular. What is up with this world? Are we monsters now? This is the proof that this boys miss Jonghyun and that he was really really special to them! We all miss him and it's hard not having him by our side. This song made my heart flutter because I can't imagine how strong the other members must have been to do a comeback and continue as a group. Let's all give them support, more than we have ever did, because they need us as Humans not as Monsters who take advantage of their sensibility to hurt them even more. I love you SHINEE! Thank you for being strong and to love us so much in a way that I can't explain

종현아 태민이가 군대갔구,, 범이가 앨범냈어 엄청 멋있다?!ㅎㅎㅎ 분명 난 기범이 뮤비를 보고있었는데 네가 생각나서 들어왔어 사랑해 종현아

Today marks 5 years since Jonghyun passed. Miss you so much. You did well Jonghyun

A year has passed...

Language can’t be a barrier to human connection. I don’t need to read the lyrics to know what their feeling.

Talk about the group’s dreams … Jonghyun: “To keep our unique qualities as SHINee, and never to lose our direction and faith.”

It's the time of the year again when I miss you so much Jonghyun.

The fact that shinee themselves wrote the lyrics makes this even more heartbreaking and special at the same time. No other group will have this much of a special place in my heart like shinee. Shinee and shawols together forever 💚💚💚💚💚

Onew producing the musics trought the night. Minho filming for a drama. Taemin working a lot in the gym to give a masculinity look to people who said he´s to much female. Key training his dance to always try his best. And Jonghyun, the fifth mic. Forever one of the best singers that this world had the pleasure of listening to sing. Why am I crying? Guys, you always did the best for us, your fans. I´m really proud of you five. Please, stay happy and safe. Because you are the reasons for too much people stay happy and safe too, like me. We love you. You five are doing well.

Another year but always reminiscing you Jonghyun💙

"Today, because we are all together, I can feel your love for me. So thank you very much. I wish that even in the future, we'll continue to be together. Together with all the members too." -Kim Jonghyun

It's okay to cry

The length of the video is 5:10 means 5 members and 10 years. Always and forever 5HINee 💎

김종현이 보이진 않지만 저 마이크 앞에서 멤버들 하나하나 부드럽게 쳐다보면서 누구보다 열정적으로 같이 노래 불렀을 거라 믿어

18 December. Our precious Bling Bling Jonghyun. Forever in our hearts. To OMKT. THANK YOU for having the strength to carry on. Shawols are so grateful.

*I see a lot of people saying that some people like Shinee's new music just because they feel pity towards them after Jonghyun's death. That makes me really sad because Shinee creates beautiful music before and after Jonghyun passed away. They should be careful with what they say because Jonghyun wouldn't be glad to hear this nonsense. Shawols and Jjong is proud of these precious boys.*

let us not cry because he is gone but let us smile because he was here

오랜만에 들어도 여전히 눈물이 나지만 이제는 샤이니와 샤월이 함께 그를 그리워하고 추억할 수 있어서 다른 의미로 마음이 울렁이게 된다. 종현아 사랑해.

As a new Kpop fan, got to know about Shinee and Jonghyun. And here I am crying an ocean. Jonghyun, I hope you are watching all the Shawols remembering and cherishing you up from the heaven.

for the entire duration of the video they’re portraying how lifeless they feel and how difficult it is for them to go through their daily life. the way they look so genuinely unmotivated, guys, that’s not acting. the members have already been so unbelievably strong and it astonishes me that they have enough strength to keep moving forward. shawols and shinee are together always, nothing can change that. shinee 5ever.

They're some of the strongest human beings I've ever seen.

“There are many things I want to say to Jonghyun, but thank you for being born.”-Kibum

4:35초 정도에 수고했어 라고 백사운드로 깔리는데 마음을 찔린 느낌이었어요 ㅠ

Being here, on his birthday, makes this song even sadder. I miss his voice and his whole personality. Shinee helped me through hard times, only with a few songs. All their voices are healing and I miss them as five. But they will be always 5hinee

If you ever get sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and somehow you managed to exist the same time as SHINee. You did well.

Finally yesterday I was able to listen to this song till the end and without feeling guilty for knowing them so let , now its our job to fill the pages of this novel together while continuing Jonghyun's legacy .

Im sorry for the loss of what happened to SHINee and Shawols. I hope all the members are processing what happened continue to all shine brighter as 5 together and shawols. Their hearts will forever have a hole in their hearts, shaped like Jonghyun, i hope he is doing amazing out in the sky, the sky is truly beautiful because of him. If we all had a second chance in life, i hope all 5 boys will find each other once more

The video shows their lives after the incident. Minho was recording the movie 'Inrang' for that moment and had to resume recordings in a short time. It shows Key dancing alone. Onew lately has been writing lyrics and the gym is a common thing for idols. That means they tried to continue with their routine, their activities. But it was like time goes by and they are in the same place. A burdensome. They decided to walk the same path together and stay five as SHINee was the best for them. Of course, this is my interpretation. ⚘

After seeing that 5th microphone I couldn't stop crying.

Jonghyun will always be alive in the heart of every SHINee World SHINee always 5 5HINee

Minho “2021.05.25 our moment. My beloved Jinki hyung, Jonghyun hyung, Kibummie, Taeminnie and SHINee WORLD..... I am grateful & thankful that we have done and achieved many things together. Let’s be together like how we are today.”

My heart needed this song written by SHINee remembering Jonghyun. It´s a precious jewel for the shawols.

*Everything about this masterpiece is beautiful, raw and bittersweet. It comes right from their hearts. Shawols will always be by Shinee's side.*

종현이 생각 나서 왔어. 항상 듣지만 의미를 생각하지 않고 들어 이 노랜. 그냥 듣는다? 의미를 곱씹어 보며 들으면 그냥 눈물이 나와. 보고 싶고 버텨줘서 고맙고 항상 사랑해 김종현 그리고 샤이니.

I’m a new fan & I don’t really know the whole story but this song is beautiful & can be felt beyond to world experiences of losing something or someone close & the healing process

*Sending virtual hugs to everyone. I think we could all need it after watching this*

Jonghyun always wrote songs for SHINee but this time SHINee wrote a song for Jonghyun.

댓글을 잘 남기는 편이 아니라서 약간 부끄럽긴 하지만, 오늘 처음으로 이 뮤비를 봤어 아마 마주할 자신이 없었나 봐. 너를 마지막으로 본 지 5년이 지났네 나 아직도 콘서트 선명하게 기억해. 아직 네가 아주 그립고 보고 싶을 때가 많아 또 여전히 많이 좋아하고 사랑해. 오랜 시간 동안 삶을 포기하고 싶을 때가 정말 많았었는데 그런 나에게 샤이니는 빛이고 희망이었어. 그리고 올해에 긴 시간 앓던 우울증이 많이 나았어 나는. 이상하게 허전하고 묘하면서도 편하다. 너도 지금 편안할까? 너에게 늘 위로받기만 한 것 같아 미안하고 고마워. 너가 내 행복이고 행운이야 종현아 사랑해. 푹 쉬어. 많이 보고 싶다.

SHINee IS FORVER 5. SHINee boys are strongest, kindest and humblest Kpop idol group i ever know. I miss late Jonghyun 😢
