I’m literally trying not to CRY😢 .... mental health is very important... if you feel down, talk to someone, if you see someone suffering, be with them. You can find strength from the people around u. Remember everyone else have something they are sad about... FIGHTING
The date, May 25, 2008, is their debut day. Jonghyun passed away December 18, 2017. He was 27. Some of his last words are “goodbye” and “say I did well.” Shinee had a concert in February of 2018 where they dedicated it to Jonghyun and played a unreleased song that had his vocals still on it with a mic in the middle and roses. They also wore all white during that song. Jonghyun suffered from depression and has sung about it in his solo albums. His last album released shortly after his death titled Poet Artist. Shinee celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2018, just months after. The color shown is their official fandom color. Jonghyun meant so much to so many and I still miss him every day. Rip Junghyun, fly high angel💖
They weren't supposed to do the concert (2018) because Jonghyun just passed (Dec 2017), but that concert was already planned ahead of time even before the passing of Jonghyun. It was difficult for them to continue and show up, but the encouragement of Jonghyun's mother made that concert possible. We all thought that SM will cancel everything planned for SHINee then, but they were strong especially Jonghyun's mom. Jonghyun may left them, but she still has 4 sons left and thanks to the beautiful SHINee brotherhood.
What made me angry was that haters even had the audacity to accuse the members of using Jonghyun’s death as a ploy to gain sympathy concert goers! I actually applauded the members for fulfilling that promised concert just as Jonghyun would’ve wanted, despite how pained their hearts were. I sincerely hope he is watching the boys happily from heaven now.
May 25, 2008 is SHINee's debut date. The color is SHINee's color Pearl Aqua. You could have spent that whole video silent and it would have been absolutely okay. Thank you for continuing to react to SHINee and for being respectful. Thank you for being one of the best reactors on this site. And as a Shawol before anything else, thank you for doing right by my boys.
Maybe I will one day be able to listen to Our Page without crying, but apparently this day has not come yet. Thank you for a beautiful, respectful reaction.
That’s the part that always stays with me when I think about Jonghyun and his note. When I’m at my lowest, I tell myself I’m doing a good job, I’m doing well. I wish he had felt that more and maybe he would have stayed with us.
I am always hesitant to watch reactions to Our Page. Because a lot of people do not bother to look up the history of the song and the lyrics and the meaning behind it. But you did - even though, as you said, you don't even know this group all that well. Thank you. Your reaction was genuine - and that is exactly how it should be. Thank you again. You also used it to spread awareness and make sure your followers know that you're there for them. Thank you - again. This is probably my most favorite reaction to Our Page. SHINee have created something extremely beautiful and touching - born from their pain of losing and their love for Jongyhun and Our Page will always always hold a special place in Shawols heart.
May 25, 2008 was their debut date. Pearl aqua is SHINee's signature color. You will see it repeated throughout their videos. People other than SHAWOLs never really understand how extremely close these boys are. No other boy group is as close as SHINee, and they are still close with Jonghyun's mother & sister. They all still live close to each other. In fact, I believe Key lives across the street from Taemin. They can get into each others homes (Taemin left a birthday cake in Key's fridge and stole one of his sweaters on Key's birthday while Key was on base). They survived this tragedy which would break many other groups because of their love for each other, and their vow to continue with Jonghyun's dream for SHINee. This took a lot of courage because during that time, the press and anti-fans were horrible to them, saying SHINee went on with their 2018 concert to make money off the tragedy. What they really wanted to do was to commemorate Jonghyun and share their grief and to begin healing with their fans. SHINee LOVES their fans. This meant a lot to SHAWOLs. Others just didn't get it. The entire "Story of Light" album was a dedication to Jonghyun and what he meant to them. The title track for each of the three albums features the story of their grieving process and ending with acceptance. Beginning with the track, "Good Evening" which is extremely deep and meaningful, showing all the stages of grief and featuring opening elements like bright flashes of light hurting Key's eyes and cameras pointed in Onew's face symbolizing the scrutiny from reporters to segments from Jonghyun's favorite story, The Little Prince, like the anime fox and brief B/W clips of the author behind Onew, and a shadow that represents Jonghyun appears inside the well in the forest as the other members are looking down into it. Next up for EP#2 was "I Want You" where the boys express how much they want Jonghyun back, "...I don't care if it's a dream, show yourself to me", but reality hits them in the morning. They sing about "I hope you'll come to me with a different ending then last time" and "I can't let you go". The song and the MV are very up beat which belies the lyrics underneath. The last EP of the album, #3, ends with this song, "Our Page", which shows us that reality has definitely hit them and lets us know that Jonghyun will never be forgotten because he's now a star shining brightly to guide their way with the words he's left behind....They will always be 5HINee. To this day they still remember and celebrate Jonghyun. Key leaves birthday wishes on Jonghyun's Instagram account and Taemin sang the song "Already", a song gifted to him by Jonghyun, for the first time in concert with Jonghyun's recorded background vocals. Their love for each other is real and deep. During a recent radio interview with Taemin for his new album, he was asked what a certain line in the lyrics of "Just Me and You" meant to him: "Erase all the rest of this mess, so we're the only ones left in this dizzy world." Taemin said that even if everything else disappeared, the one thing he would want to remain would be to always be surrounded by his SHINee hyungs. Even when they were in their 40s, 50s, 60s, after their careers were done, he wanted to live in the same building with them; some of them living above him and some of them living below him, so he could always hear them everywhere. This says it all. They are true brothers. They are family till the end, and they will always be 5. Thank you for the heartfelt respect you are showing to SHINee. Unfortunately not all reactors are as considerate, as I recently discovered. Blessings.
Thank you for the information you gave about Taemin's interview. Apart from their music and personalities, I think the reason why SHINee will always remain my favourite group is because of the closeness you have described. Haha! It's so pure and touching.
Saddlemomma...very well said. You laid out this chapter of SHINee’s story so beautifully, it left me with a huge lump in my throat. Through their music, these young men have found a way to grieve their tremendous loss that invites their Shawol family to grieve with them and then, find that aqua-lit pathway to acceptance. I am a latecomer to SHINee, but I have traveled down the path over this past year or so and am anxiously awaiting where they will take us next when they finally reunite! This is a beautiful fandom of a multi-talented group. I hope there are more TooGrown reaction videos of SHINee videos to come to draw in more fans to this warm and loving family!
When I saw this interview I laugh so loud because what you want is to going at your Hyungs house and steal their cloths kkkk apart of Onew cloths kk I really love this interview of him, actually every time any of the members have opportunity to speak in some interview they speak about each other and all the Onew bogoshipo, Key bogoshipo Taemin bogoshipo or Minho bogoshipo is so heartwarming. And you can see their eyes SHINES when they speak about the other SHINee members, When Tae was so happy when Onew was back or when he show us the picture from an old concert with 5 members and he said that when he misses his hyungs he do that go watch old concerts
I think the best way to pay homage to the amazing talent that was Jonghyun is to keep enjoying and sharing the awesome music he made with Shinee and as a solo artist. Thank you for reacting to this, keep on doing so, they have iconic anthems for the kpop community. Sending love to you and all the squad!! stay healthy!!
The 5th microphone is to show that he will always be with them and the group will always be 5 irreplaceable members. In their 10th anniversary concert (first concert after his passing) they leave his space in the dances and stage open for him. Jonghyun's mother asked for Shinee to continue as a group with their music after he passed away. They also wanted to keep their promise that they made with Jonghyun, "Jonghyun hyung and the rest of us promised, when we were tired and wanted to quit, and when we wanted to run away since we were too weak, we will remember that [the fans] were our biggest strength, and because of this, we will keep singing. Let us overcome this battle together." - Shinee's Minho ( quote from handwritten letter after Jonghyun's passing)
There is a song by IU feat. Suga that is a song dedicated to Jonghyun and Sulli who were both friends with her. So the lyrics in the video and the visual representation of them in the M/V is just art. Its so emotional but worth watching. Sulli was also a kpop idol who committed suicide because she was being cyber bullied and couldn't take it anymore. R.I.P Jonghyun R.I.P Sulli We choose to remember them as very talented artists and alive full of happiness and joy. Thank you for reacting to this because I really needed it. Thank you for making youtube and lifting up my spirits when I need it. I have been supporting since Day 1 so thank you so much. Keep doing what you are doing. Hope you have a nice day and thank you so much.
May 25 2008 is when they debuted december 18 2017 is when heaven gained an amazing vocalist and person that made everyone happy. We are sorry we couldn't protect your smile jonghyun
I know the song came out 2 years ago but I still cry every time when I listen to it, it just all feels so unreal But I hope you’re gonna listen to some more SHINee songs wether private or on here because they truly are such an amazing group with the absolute best songs!!!
This was a brave vid to make. As a Shawol who loves Jonghyun and whose boyfriend and 3 closest friends have struggled with depression as long as I have known them... I really appreciate the respect you approached this with and the effort made to bring awareness. While it is really close to my heart-- my wish that the world can be more understanding of what the people closest to me go through every day-- I also hope that some day people who are new to SHINee can listen to their music with joy instead of also bearing the pain. SHINee has been my light in life for so many years, and now that Key and Onew are back from the military, and soon Minho will be as well... I know they are stronger than ever and cannot wait to see 5HINee return to their music together.
I've been a fan of shinee for a very long time (just about 10 years really) and I remember the day of his passing like it was yesterday. I was absolutely shocked. I couldn't believe it. The first few days I was so surprised and confused that I couldn't even think of crying but then it really hit me and I couldn't stop crying for weeks. I found this group when I really needed them the most and they've helped me so much. I'm so thankful but I feel regret not being able to be there for them. Listening or seeing shinee was painful even though I wanted to keep supporting them through this hard time and even now, it hurts. Jonghyun was an amazing, sweet, caring and incredibly kind person. I don't think I'll ever forget his bubbly laughter and his playful jokes. I miss him dearly and always will. Three of the members in shinee all got released from their military service not too long ago (the youngest still needs to go) but I believe we'll be seeing more of them soon. I hope you'll give this group a chance and react to their older songs as well with all five members. They have many, many great songs so I think you'll be fine with anything but if you want to start from the very beginning of their debut; go watch "Noona, You're So Pretty (Replay)"!
the solo mic always gets me. the fact that they gave him space, the center mic for the center of shinee. and onew saying “you did well”, as the leader, onew is thanking him for the years they spent together. every person who watched this cried. and every time i watch this i end up crying like a baby.
Oh, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but Jonghyun was actually the main, lead singer of the group so not having him here really did make a difference. He also took his place in the middle of the group. Anyways, I hope you'll love and react to them more!
Shinee is always Jinki - Taemin - Jjong - Minho - Kibum for me. Our center may not be here, but I'm happy they decided to stay as Shinee forever. Jjong must be very proud ☺️
yes that’s jonghyun color HES always liked minty things and the color mint even loved absolutely love mint chocolate! and yes may 25th 2008 was their debut with their song replay
Mental health is definitely not a joke, its a battle inside you, you alone against all those darkness, fear, anxiety, loneliness, scary thoughts and all. It's just like a bottomless pit. No one knows what you've been trough, n people sometimes can be so ignorant to tell you 'dont be sad' or ' you just not thankful enough' guys... Thank you for just being here. Especially you sir Toogrown. You guys are warrior!
Omg! I love your reactions!!!! I am crying right now. Shinee is one of the best group ever! You have to react to "HYEYA" singing by JONGHYUN, its an original cover of a spanish song but it is singing with a lot of emotions! so iconic and everybody needs to listing to it!!!!
This song crushes my heart. I legit started to cry listening to it the other day even though the song is 2 years old. I barley even knew much about him. And I watched more videos About him and i broke down sobbing cause he is such an angel. But God must be happy an angel has returned home... 💜💜💜 sending love to all of you guys who are having a hard time. Know it gets better and if you need a friend who will be by your side I’m here and practically the whole fandom is here for you!!!’💜💜💜💜
May 25, 2008 - SHINee’s Debut; Pearl Aqua - SHINee’s Color The lyrics to Our Page is so beautiful. Like a love letter to Jonghyun. Like their page as FIVE, their story as SHINee is not done yet. The members will continue it, they will write more of their story together as FIVE. 💖
aqua pearl green is shinee's official color and the lights turning on at the end is shawols (shinee's fanbase) that basically stand with shinee through all of this........ i've only watched this mv once and honestly i haven't watched this ever since it was released bc i couldn't watch it without crying... it's been almost 3 years and it turned out i still can't... but anyways, thanks for showing tribute to jonghyun with this ♡ (it's pronounced chong hyeon btw)
Shinee is very special. The Princes of Kpop who set the standard for what an idol group should be. And Jonghyun was a wonderful man and maybe the best male vocalist in the genre. We will always miss him and cherish him. You may be familiar with Taemin who is from Shinee and is also in SuperM. You should learn more about Shinee. True greatness.
Thank you for your sincerity. It is a treasure in this mostly corrupt and fake world. The lights are "pearl aqua" which is SHINee's group color. As others note, May 25, 2008 was SHINee's debut date -- all the members were 18 or younger at that point. So, they lived together, trained together, performed together since they were, basically, kids. If you curious, you might want to listen some SHINee classics and/or to Jonghyun's (aka Jjong) solo music. Jong's death was a loss for many reasons but, for music lovers, we'll never get to enjoy what he might have composed or performed had he lived. Luckily, he did produce 4 albums (correct me if I am wrong, Shawols) - Base, Story Opus 1, Story Opus 2 and Poet/Artist. Jjong's music, while pop, is coolly experimental, almost jazzy and the lyrics are really something (note that Jong wrote the music and lyrics for his solo work and frequently wrote songs for SHINee and other artists). This year, the Seoul Philharmonic started to perform orchestral versions of Kpop. For their first songs to perform, out of all the Kpop songs out there, they chose a Red Velvet song and one of Jjong's songs called End of a Day. Jjong is one of the reasons SHINee is legend. His art, with SHINee and as a soloist, is going to stand the test of time.
I tried so hard not to cry. I love Shinee and mostly sm groups been a fan since their debut. It's still heartbreaking though years had passed. Thank you for supporting Shinee. I hope you get to know their music more. Shinee will always be five. No matter what
Jonghyun wrote beautiful music for not only Shinee but other artists aswell ontop of his many talents. He was Taemin's #1 fan and MY GOD can he sing. He was always there to support and care for his friends. When he died i couldn't believe how much grief i felt for someone i had never met, for a celebrity. I felt like i was being dramatic as i had no kpop friends and didn't know why i was so affected. I am still broken hearted at the loss but i cant stop myself from listening to his beautiful music. I love the vidoes of shinee goofing around together like that krump add 😅 and the "ring ding dong" skit. SHINEE'S music has shaped alot of kpop music and you will see memes about never starting a person with ring ding dong as their first kpop song. Their live performances prove their vocals are no joke. I love "woof woof" as one of the more light hearted fun songs. 💙💙💙💚💚💚 Any shawols here help me get toogrown to react to more Shinee!
I too can't explain the grief I felt for someone I didn't know (and who wasn't an English speaker, if you know what I mean). Don't think I'll ever feel that way again. I don't have any k-pop friends either so got no comfort from sharing the feelings. And I also love watching him and the boys goofing around. That krump....pure gold, just about sums up his adorable goofiness, haha.
at the end of the song kim kibun says (suiso)what does it mean, you did it well, that was what jonghyun said to his sister in a message (tell me I did it well). and May 25 is the date they debuted and the aquaperl color is the color of the group's characteristic fandom
Thank you for your reaction. Mental health is no joke. Going trought it since a very young age, I understand what it feel like. I too taught death will be the only way out but it is not. Life has good and bad day and you never when you would leave this world so keep moving on. Their is no night that last forever and no day that won't end.
Thank you so much for this reaction and appreciating SHINee's music. These boys brought me to KPop and he was my first bias, it still hits me hard whenever I listen to their music specially this one.
It's okay if you don't know what to say; sometimes silence says and expresses more than words! I wasn't really a follower of Shinee at the time of his passing; and really didn't know anything about him other than his name; but even I was reduced to tears that day through the love and pain that was expressed throughout the Shinee fandom! Just remember, sometimes REACTING is more about what you think and feel than what you express in words! And don't feel obligated to comment on everything you see and hear! One of the reasons why the Grown Squad has grown so fast is the fact that your reactions are honest and genuine; and we believe your opinions when you express them! Just keep doing what you're doing; we're all here for you! #GrowmSquad
I am in full on tears, words cant even pronounce how much I miss him... More then anything I hope he is finally at peace and looking down on everyone who loved him with a smile. Thank you for choosing this song and giving it the love and respect it deserved. I have grown a love and respect for you fully cause of this. I love you Shinee, I love you Jonghyun.
In lyrics video didn't show, but in the middle of these tears it's very important to say that Onew almost at the final of the song says "You did well" in korean. I hope that don't go unnoticed. Love from Portugal🇵🇹 (Lets all be part of the SHINeeWORLD)
Being a Shawol for 10 yrs it is hard not to think of Jonghyun. The day he passed in 2017 in December it was like a great light went out, Shinee color is blue. His passing affected a lot of people. He wrote songs for other idols EXO Playboy, Lee Hi Breathe, etc. 💙
SHINee and jonghyun have done and change so much K-pop in the good direction. Everybody needs to check how SHINee has change K-pop with their music and their rôle has sunbae. Oh yeah jonghyun is by far the most iconic vocalist in K-pop. He was so Big
I can't help but cry knowing that he's truly gone. I remember waking up that morning to see an article that said he had passed away. As a fan I can't imagine what his members and loved ones went through, it was already so painful. The 2nd generation of kpop idols gave me so much life and so much strength through the hardest years of my life. Thank you for such a genuine and sincere video to such precious gems.
Even though he is gone now, his music (solo and with SHINee) is gonna live forever, so in a way he is always gonna be here ❤️ and you really do make my day better! Coming from a Shawol, thanks for looking into SHINee 😊
thank you so much for this reaction... ive been waiting for you to react to shinee for awhile now... this song truly hits the heart... please keep reacting to them to honor our beloved jjong... 5hinee is always and forever 5...
I still remember the day I found out and it hit me in an unpredictable way. SHINee was one of the first groups I heard in 2009 and they were already considered legends at that point. I could see them being married and mentors to a new generation. It shocked me to realize, one day I will be older than Jonghyun. Even though he was my senior by five years. If you listen to his solo work, I found some areas where he and Taemin drew from the same inspiration and it really brought home that he lives through them. Stay healthy everyone and know you are loved by someone.
New to this channel and subscribing because I love how you reacted to this song which was writtedn by SHINee members themselves. Thank you, i appreciate you checking out the lyrics first as it will make you understand the mv more. It wasn't shown in the lyric video but there is a part in the lyrics where Minho whispered something towards the end - he said "sugohaesseo" (during the woah woah part) meaning "you did well" as a message to Jonghyun. Yes at the start they were just going thru the motions and they were like numb, and didn't know how to snap out of it. Walking and seeing that greenish light is like them picking themselves up again and continue. That light actually is pearl aqua, the official color of SHINee, and may also represent the shawols (SHINee fans) and SHINee as a group. It's like guiding them to continue and so we see them going up the stage and performing again with that mic stand as a reminder that Jonghyun is still with them. That they are still a 5 member group.
You just had to make me cry at the end. Held it together until the end. The reason I keep coming in here to watch your videos is because, just like you, I really enjoy watching kpop and share this with someone, even if it is through a screen. Thank you for another honest reaction. Shows how big your heart is. Please stay healthy, become happy. Experience joy and love. And I love you, as a friend and a fellow kpop fan. 💜
Thank you so much for your reaction! I regularly re-watch the MV or the live stages for this song, but sometimes I need someone who is watching it with me together. Someone who can share this feeling, so I'm really glad that I discoverd your video today. I love to know that people know about this song and the story of 'Our Page'. The story of SHINee, which will be a part of me for the rest of my life. The story of SHINee and Shawols who write the pages of this story together..... Love you all and thank you for beeing here
Thank you for this respectful reaction, and thank you for speak about important matters. As for SHINee, even when they were suffering, people still badmouth because they were trying to look forward despite their lost. But thanks to their own family and SHINee World, they little by little, they move on having Jonghyun as part of our world ✨
Oh wow I absolutely cannot watch this video right now because of my own mental illnesses and was just severely re-traumatized. But I did make a point to watch your intro, and thank you for your sensitivity and care 💙
I just ran across your post. I wanted to let you know that I’m sorry you were hurting then and I hope you have had the support you need and that you are feeling better and stronger today! ❤️💕
Hurts really much, until today, hurts like day one. Shawol remember him with a smile, sometimes we cry, but we want celebrate his life, and talent, and music, lirics, we miss Jonghyun very much.
It really breaks my heart when someone is suffering so much that the only way they find is taking their lives. I think we all go through very bad times at some time in our life, its important to keep holding on because better things will come. Please talk to someone if you are feeling like that. We are all precious ones from the moment we are born. You are beautiful, please remember that.
I’ve been watching your videos as of late and I really enjoyed this reaction. It’s raw and honest and genuine. You gained a new follow. Respect for being open and taking the time to research Shinee and the meaning behind the song. You’re already one of my fave reactors! Thanks for being YOU and for being here!
Thank you for this. I'm really happy you looked up the meaning of how important this song is to the group and fans... It still hurts when I think about that day, but I try my best to stay positive. As someone who also struggles with mental health, I think his music is actually a huge comfort. Please check out some of Jonghyun's songs like "End of a Day", "Shining", "Lonely", "Skeleton Flower", "Hashtag", "Beyond Our Spring", and "Shining". It's still hard for some Shawol to see him since they miss him so much, but we are also glad to have people discover what a beautiful and bright person he is. I also suggest looking more into SHINee as a group. In the music video, the color is the group's color and the color of the Shawol fanlights. They see the light which reminds them that he's still with him and they rise to the stars to sing to him, letting him know that they are still together as five and will carry on. Even in the most recent SHINee concert, they had a mic for him. The group are more than this incident and so his Jonghyun, so we fans encourage people to look more into the group and to also stay strong as we carry on. Thanks for this reaction and for your words.
The lyrics made me cry even after about 3 years. The thing is I didn't know shinee till this accident happened but after hearing about the bad news, I got to dig in shinee and know them better and as I was getting more familiar , I was just experiencing more sadness and sorrow for Jonghyun as I could see how great of a person he was and I felt so sorry for not knowing him before, but nothing could've done and now I just listen to his works and enjoy his great masterpieces hoping he is at least not suffering anymore. Rest in peace Jonghyun.
New subs. Here! Its SHINee my favorite group! The reason on How I stand Taemin now! Miss jjong! Miss them so much! Thank You for reacting it!! Im excited to reunite them again!
I was late to discover Shinee, but you can feel in this song how much he meant to them and those who still adore him. I lost a friend last year to suicide, and an uncle the year before. It's not something I could ever understand, I want to protect those I love but things like that make you see how powerless you are sometimes. All you can do is be there.
Being a psychiatrist and a Shawol, it was such a heavy experience for me when the news first broke out. I don’t know him personally, but I felt like I lost a dear friend and brother, especially as I was lucky enough to see them in concert just a few months prior. It also reminded me of the reality of depression and suicide, and how they may occur in even the happiest looking people. And that is why I always encourage people to form good quality relationships with other people, communicate, and be vigilant for any signs of mental health issues.
The first sentence and I'm already crying. Remembering teh day how articles popped up every hour about his condition and then announcing his death. I was hoping for a whole day that it has been a stupid joke. RIP Jonghyun, you did well.
The first time i saw this mv cry from the beginning, i didn't know how it would end and when i got to the end i couldn't stop myself. People really don't know what goes on in the head of someone who commits suicide, or do those of us who have ever tried it. Depression is one of the most horrible illnesses in terms of the psyche, and many people still don't believe that this is an attempt on life. It takes a lot to stick your head out and want to breathe. For those who couldn't make it, for those of us who are on the seemingly endless path and for those who made it out, thank you.
Good reaction, thank you so much!!!! This song is so emotional and very meaningful. SHINee's and shawols process to cope with this hasn't been easy, but we're closer to each other as a family and we know he's always there, our dear angel! you should also check their 2018 concert in Japan, the concert was a tribute to him, so SHINee and shawols could honor him together, it's quite a tearful experience but totally worth watching, specially the songs "From now on" and "Diamond Sky". I'm wondering if you have more reactions to SHINee? I can't find any other video or playlist 😔
I haven't cried over this song in a little while, but whew, it really got me again this time. Thank you for your emotion during this. It shows that despite you not knowing too much about SHINee, you understand, and you care. I'm glad I don't cry over it too often, because although this is a beautiful way to cherish his memory, I feel like he would want us to remember the happy times more than the sad. I thank SHINee every day, for letting us grieve with them in this way. For showing us this part of themselves. I have been a shawol for 12 years, and I couldn't be more proud of them. They're so strong. SHINee are always five, and shawols will always love all of them.
Jonghyun will always be remembered what a legendary vocalist and above all amazing human being, I always cry when I listen to this, it's still sometime hits me and is hard to process he's really gone. Always support our Shinee babies, Key just came back from the military 💙
Jonghyun is a precious soul. He passed in December of 2017. Mental health is becoming easier to talk about in South Korea, but it wasn't that way then. It's still very new. But please keep watching all 5 members of shinee. Shinee will always be 5 and Jonghyun would want you to listen to and enjoy their music. Solo stuff and group.
I love you man. This video has brought me tears. Mental health is no joke. I have been part of the squad since mid april. Love your genuine reactions plus your willingness to learn about different groups and remember their members names. Watching all your videos with you, becoming a day one patreon family member and talking to other people have been such a blast! We family now! Much loves to you my braddah! 🤙🏾
the color/light you mentioned is SHINee’s official color, it’s called pearl aqua. The color represents the fandom who keep them going until now. Hope it answers your question. Have a nice day💙
yea.. you got me over here tryin my andest not to cry again while i watch this on the subway. its been a few year and it still hits me hard when i listen and actively read the lyrics or watch the video mann ...
Thank you. I cryed from the first sentence. I know what it means to lose a good friend to suicide. It's still heartbreaking. It happened 1.6 years ago. He turned 41 years old. Loneliness especially now with covid is not a good combination. Stay in touch with the people around you as much as possible. Greetings from the Netherlands
It really makes me happy when I see people reacting to shinee bc they’re really an amazing talented group and I would love to see more shinee reactions from you as an shawol it would make me sooo happy 🥺 one of the members Key came back from military and Minho is the last one so hopefully we’ll get a shinee cb soon as possible ☺️
Thank you for reacting to this one and talk about it, I been in one myself and nearly did what he did. But i got helped by lovely people. Also this group one of the group that i grown up with. Thank You.
thanks for this respectful reaction to one of the songs that brought much trauma healing to the entire fandom and SHINee themselves too. we hope you can react to Jonghyun and more of SHINee. Jonghyun was one of the (if not the best) vocalists and song-writers in the industry, and he was such a wonderful human being. It would be a shame for us to not continue to celebrate his talent and amazing works that he had gifted us during his time here.
I am crying so hard right now. Jonghyun was such an amazing human and I remember December 18th like it was yesterday. My whole world broke down the second I got the news, I left school and ran home💔 Got a tattoo for Jonghyun a few months before my 18th birthday and everyone told me it was stupid but seeing how much it still affects me I don't regret one it at all
Too Grown ... thank you for your sincerity! This is the only 2nd k-video reaction I’ve ever watched that wasn’t BTS... so usually I only see you on Mondays👍🏻☺️ This was heart felt and I remember learning about him from suga’s IU song! I sincerely wish joy for you and your community of subs! BORAHAE!💟🙋🏻♀️ fighting for our youth and all humanity in these trying times!
This still hurts... Thanks to react💙.. we everyday have in our minds and hearts (even with every single progress from the guys) to Jong-Hyun. 💚The Story of Light means a lot not just because they took the most importan choose in their life but every single arreglament has a secret dedication musically and conceptually to Jong Hyun. Thanks to keep 💎5HINee on your reactions!!! As shawol 💎 hope you keep sharing more videos 💙💙💙💙
You do make my day better. Thank you. You don't have to always react to emotional videos, but I think it is important for people to know there is so much more to the Kpop music than flashy colors/dance moves type of MVs. Jonghyun was such a talented composer and I wonder about the songs we are missing out on because he is not around. I listen to the song he wrote for Lee Hi "Breathe" whenever I think of Jonghyun because the lyrics are so meaningful for me. 💙
Yes, I think we have missed out on hundreds of songs he would have given us. Even when he got older and perhaps stopped performing, I could imagine him writing songs for others; also writing poetry and novels, who knows......aah.
I've only seen the live version that the guys did at their first concert. I couldn't watch the video when it came out, it was too painful. I came across your video and I wanted to see your reaction because I know how honest and considerate you are when it comes to reactions. Those 4 guys, his brothers love and miss him so much. So do his fans and the kpop industry. Let's all make sure that our family, friends and communities know that they are loved.
Another of jonghyun song that always made my heart hurt is Breathe. When Kyuhyun sang it on masked singer, I can't hold back my tears. Because Kyuhyun is one of Jonghyun friend since trainee and Jonghyun passed away when Kyu was in the military. So I can only imagine how helpless it made Kyu feel. I'm so happy that this year Heechul decided to mass sue all the hate commenters.
SuperM (has taemin from SHINee, kai and baekhyun from EXO, and Taeyong, Mark, Lucas, and Ten from NCT) just performed their song Better Days which is in english for the World Health Organization's campaign for Mental Health Day. Please check it out as well as SuperM's other stuff. That song is the perfect song to listen to when you are having a bad day or feeling down.
May 25, 2008 is the date when shinee debuted as a group ❤️ making their first appearance on a music show called Inkigayo. This music video is so heartbreaking because it shows the members trying to keep up with their lives and routines but something just doesn't feel the same as they know that one of them is missing and they're just trying to process it. This song always makes me emotional, is such beautiful and devastating song and mv :(
Its still fresh, im crying again. ts been awhile but its still fresh. it breaks my heart so much remembering him, his a beautiful person. he left a day after my birthday..ill never forget. kpop saved me from depression, it still does. thankyou man for reacting to this. WE LOVE YOU JONGHYUN 😭❤️ You did well. RIP
You're doing great bro. Stay strong. You bring us joy through your videos. The only reaction is a true reaction. Don't hide what you're feeling. Lost a cousin this way. Such a great personality to everyone. Young and handsome. But kept it contained within. Wish he spoke more about his condition to the family. Best to talk about it. After Jonghyun passed these young ladies named ATTENTION did a dance cover tribute of SHINee's Replay. After their video they left hotline numbers for many countries for individuals in need of help. Check it out. Best we can do is celebrate Jonghyun's life through the art he has left for us in his great dancing and singing. Keep the reactions coming bro and we'll keep watching.
the day after jonghyun passed away something strange happened... the moon turned aqua pearl green. that's not even a joke, it really happened, at least in asia. many people took pictures of the moon that night and it felt like it was jonghyun's last goodbye to us... i'm sure you can find to pics on twitter, still, i still can't believe it really happened, but it did... aqua pearl green is shinee's official color and when the boys look up, they see this color...
I miss them as a whole so very much. Death leaves such an emptiness where someone once was, a missing piece. Jonghyun, I miss you the most. Rest in Peace, you worked hard. Thank you for reacting to this, so that we can honour Jonghyun, through these amazing friends. 💔. I want to thank you for your kindness and lovely words.
I took my time in getting to this reaction. I had gotten into Shinee and learned about them not even months before Jonghyun... I uh, decided to react to it in memory of him as the anniversary is tomorrow. I always get extremely sad during this time, and I kinda just wanted to watch certain not entirely alone if you know what I mean. So thank you TG, and don't worry, you were yourself and were very respectful. As a Shawol, thank you. Secondly, there is an album they released after his passing... it's called Poet Artist. I am not requesting a reaction for it, but I am suggesting it. I listen to it during this time too, just to remember him for his beautiful mind, and sensitivity, and how creative he was. I feel like a lot of concepts from that album and work (like musically, and in video productions) had a hand in influencing how the kpop industry now tells stories. I also feel like, even in spite of the mourning that was happening, and still is, it opened up the doors to talk about love a lot deeper than it did before. Miracle, Feel Special, Our Page, We are bulletproof: the Eternal, Eight, and a lot of others really have that feeling. Talking about how we love each other, being supportive, and expressing those deeper emotions in music will forever hit me a certain type of way. If you read through this all... I uh hope you're having a great day, I love you and remember that stars are best visible during the night. Stay strong Squad.
![[C.C.] KEY & MINHO are suffering from a painful hangover🤢 #SHINEE #KEY #MINHO](/img/n.gif)
I’m literally trying not to CRY😢 .... mental health is very important... if you feel down, talk to someone, if you see someone suffering, be with them. You can find strength from the people around u. Remember everyone else have something they are sad about... FIGHTING
The date, May 25, 2008, is their debut day. Jonghyun passed away December 18, 2017. He was 27. Some of his last words are “goodbye” and “say I did well.” Shinee had a concert in February of 2018 where they dedicated it to Jonghyun and played a unreleased song that had his vocals still on it with a mic in the middle and roses. They also wore all white during that song. Jonghyun suffered from depression and has sung about it in his solo albums. His last album released shortly after his death titled Poet Artist. Shinee celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2018, just months after. The color shown is their official fandom color. Jonghyun meant so much to so many and I still miss him every day. Rip Junghyun, fly high angel💖
They weren't supposed to do the concert (2018) because Jonghyun just passed (Dec 2017), but that concert was already planned ahead of time even before the passing of Jonghyun. It was difficult for them to continue and show up, but the encouragement of Jonghyun's mother made that concert possible. We all thought that SM will cancel everything planned for SHINee then, but they were strong especially Jonghyun's mom. Jonghyun may left them, but she still has 4 sons left and thanks to the beautiful SHINee brotherhood.
What made me angry was that haters even had the audacity to accuse the members of using Jonghyun’s death as a ploy to gain sympathy concert goers! I actually applauded the members for fulfilling that promised concert just as Jonghyun would’ve wanted, despite how pained their hearts were. I sincerely hope he is watching the boys happily from heaven now.
May 25, 2008 is SHINee's debut date. The color is SHINee's color Pearl Aqua. You could have spent that whole video silent and it would have been absolutely okay. Thank you for continuing to react to SHINee and for being respectful. Thank you for being one of the best reactors on this site. And as a Shawol before anything else, thank you for doing right by my boys.
Lol i born in 2008/5/31
@@tK-mn3dc lol
I cry every time I listen to this. Thanks for everything Jonghyun...
Maybe I will one day be able to listen to Our Page without crying, but apparently this day has not come yet. Thank you for a beautiful, respectful reaction.
At 7:44 you can hear ”you did well” in the background.
That’s the part that always stays with me when I think about Jonghyun and his note. When I’m at my lowest, I tell myself I’m doing a good job, I’m doing well. I wish he had felt that more and maybe he would have stayed with us.
something that makes me cry even harder
I am always hesitant to watch reactions to Our Page. Because a lot of people do not bother to look up the history of the song and the lyrics and the meaning behind it. But you did - even though, as you said, you don't even know this group all that well. Thank you. Your reaction was genuine - and that is exactly how it should be. Thank you again. You also used it to spread awareness and make sure your followers know that you're there for them. Thank you - again. This is probably my most favorite reaction to Our Page.
SHINee have created something extremely beautiful and touching - born from their pain of losing and their love for Jongyhun and Our Page will always always hold a special place in Shawols heart.
May 25, 2008 was their debut date. Pearl aqua is SHINee's signature color. You will see it repeated throughout their videos.
People other than SHAWOLs never really understand how extremely close these boys are. No other boy group is as close as SHINee, and they are still close with Jonghyun's mother & sister. They all still live close to each other. In fact, I believe Key lives across the street from Taemin. They can get into each others homes (Taemin left a birthday cake in Key's fridge and stole one of his sweaters on Key's birthday while Key was on base). They survived this tragedy which would break many other groups because of their love for each other, and their vow to continue with Jonghyun's dream for SHINee. This took a lot of courage because during that time, the press and anti-fans were horrible to them, saying SHINee went on with their 2018 concert to make money off the tragedy. What they really wanted to do was to commemorate Jonghyun and share their grief and to begin healing with their fans. SHINee LOVES their fans. This meant a lot to SHAWOLs. Others just didn't get it.
The entire "Story of Light" album was a dedication to Jonghyun and what he meant to them. The title track for each of the three albums features the story of their grieving process and ending with acceptance. Beginning with the track, "Good Evening" which is extremely deep and meaningful, showing all the stages of grief and featuring opening elements like bright flashes of light hurting Key's eyes and cameras pointed in Onew's face symbolizing the scrutiny from reporters to segments from Jonghyun's favorite story, The Little Prince, like the anime fox and brief B/W clips of the author behind Onew, and a shadow that represents Jonghyun appears inside the well in the forest as the other members are looking down into it.
Next up for EP#2 was "I Want You" where the boys express how much they want Jonghyun back, "...I don't care if it's a dream, show yourself to me", but reality hits them in the morning. They sing about "I hope you'll come to me with a different ending then last time" and "I can't let you go". The song and the MV are very up beat which belies the lyrics underneath.
The last EP of the album, #3, ends with this song, "Our Page", which shows us that reality has definitely hit them and lets us know that Jonghyun will never be forgotten because he's now a star shining brightly to guide their way with the words he's left behind....They will always be 5HINee.
To this day they still remember and celebrate Jonghyun. Key leaves birthday wishes on Jonghyun's Instagram account and Taemin sang the song "Already", a song gifted to him by Jonghyun, for the first time in concert with Jonghyun's recorded background vocals.
Their love for each other is real and deep. During a recent radio interview with Taemin for his new album, he was asked what a certain line in the lyrics of "Just Me and You" meant to him: "Erase all the rest of this mess, so we're the only ones left in this dizzy world." Taemin said that even if everything else disappeared, the one thing he would want to remain would be to always be surrounded by his SHINee hyungs. Even when they were in their 40s, 50s, 60s, after their careers were done, he wanted to live in the same building with them; some of them living above him and some of them living below him, so he could always hear them everywhere. This says it all. They are true brothers. They are family till the end, and they will always be 5.
Thank you for the heartfelt respect you are showing to SHINee. Unfortunately not all reactors are as considerate, as I recently discovered. Blessings.
Thank you for the information you gave about Taemin's interview. Apart from their music and personalities, I think the reason why SHINee will always remain my favourite group is because of the closeness you have described. Haha! It's so pure and touching.
Saddlemomma...very well said. You laid out this chapter of SHINee’s story so beautifully, it left me with a huge lump in my throat. Through their music, these young men have found a way to grieve their tremendous loss that invites their Shawol family to grieve with them and then, find that aqua-lit pathway to acceptance. I am a latecomer to SHINee, but I have traveled down the path over this past year or so and am anxiously awaiting where they will take us next when they finally reunite! This is a beautiful fandom of a multi-talented group. I hope there are more TooGrown reaction videos of SHINee videos to come to draw in more fans to this warm and loving family!
When I saw this interview I laugh so loud because what you want is to going at your Hyungs house and steal their cloths kkkk apart of Onew cloths kk I really love this interview of him, actually every time any of the members have opportunity to speak in some interview they speak about each other and all the Onew bogoshipo, Key bogoshipo Taemin bogoshipo or Minho bogoshipo is so heartwarming. And you can see their eyes SHINES when they speak about the other SHINee members, When Tae was so happy when Onew was back or when he show us the picture from an old concert with 5 members and he said that when he misses his hyungs he do that go watch old concerts
I think the best way to pay homage to the amazing talent that was Jonghyun is to keep enjoying and sharing the awesome music he made with Shinee and as a solo artist. Thank you for reacting to this, keep on doing so, they have iconic anthems for the kpop community. Sending love to you and all the squad!! stay healthy!!
The 5th microphone is to show that he will always be with them and the group will always be 5 irreplaceable members. In their 10th anniversary concert (first concert after his passing) they leave his space in the dances and stage open for him.
Jonghyun's mother asked for Shinee to continue as a group with their music after he passed away. They also wanted to keep their promise that they made with Jonghyun, "Jonghyun hyung and the rest of us promised, when we were tired and wanted to quit, and when we wanted to run away since we were too weak, we will remember that [the fans] were our biggest strength, and because of this, we will keep singing. Let us overcome this battle together." - Shinee's Minho ( quote from handwritten letter after Jonghyun's passing)
There is a song by IU feat. Suga that is a song dedicated to Jonghyun and Sulli who were both friends with her. So the lyrics in the video and the visual representation of them in the M/V is just art. Its so emotional but worth watching. Sulli was also a kpop idol who committed suicide because she was being cyber bullied and couldn't take it anymore. R.I.P Jonghyun R.I.P Sulli
We choose to remember them as very talented artists and alive full of happiness and joy. Thank you for reacting to this because I really needed it. Thank you for making youtube and lifting up my spirits when I need it. I have been supporting since Day 1 so thank you so much. Keep doing what you are doing.
Hope you have a nice day and thank you so much.
Yes....IU is jungkook's idol....you should react to IU
It's also about goo hara
6:08 SHINee's debut date
May 25 2008 is when they debuted
december 18 2017 is when heaven gained an amazing vocalist and person that made everyone happy. We are sorry we couldn't protect your smile jonghyun
I know the song came out 2 years ago but I still cry every time when I listen to it,
it just all feels so unreal
But I hope you’re gonna listen to some more SHINee songs wether private or on here because they truly are such an amazing group with the absolute best songs!!!
This was a brave vid to make. As a Shawol who loves Jonghyun and whose boyfriend and 3 closest friends have struggled with depression as long as I have known them... I really appreciate the respect you approached this with and the effort made to bring awareness. While it is really close to my heart-- my wish that the world can be more understanding of what the people closest to me go through every day-- I also hope that some day people who are new to SHINee can listen to their music with joy instead of also bearing the pain. SHINee has been my light in life for so many years, and now that Key and Onew are back from the military, and soon Minho will be as well... I know they are stronger than ever and cannot wait to see 5HINee return to their music together.
I've been a fan of shinee for a very long time (just about 10 years really) and I remember the day of his passing like it was yesterday. I was absolutely shocked. I couldn't believe it. The first few days I was so surprised and confused that I couldn't even think of crying but then it really hit me and I couldn't stop crying for weeks. I found this group when I really needed them the most and they've helped me so much.
I'm so thankful but I feel regret not being able to be there for them.
Listening or seeing shinee was painful even though I wanted to keep supporting them through this hard time and even now, it hurts. Jonghyun was an amazing, sweet, caring and incredibly kind person. I don't think I'll ever forget his bubbly laughter and his playful jokes. I miss him dearly and always will.
Three of the members in shinee all got released from their military service not too long ago (the youngest still needs to go) but I believe we'll be seeing more of them soon. I hope you'll give this group a chance and react to their older songs as well with all five members. They have many, many great songs so I think you'll be fine with anything but if you want to start from the very beginning of their debut; go watch "Noona, You're So Pretty (Replay)"!
the solo mic always gets me. the fact that they gave him space, the center mic for the center of shinee. and onew saying “you did well”, as the leader, onew is thanking him for the years they spent together. every person who watched this cried. and every time i watch this i end up crying like a baby.
Oh, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but Jonghyun was actually the main, lead singer of the group so not having him here really did make a difference. He also took his place in the middle of the group. Anyways, I hope you'll love and react to them more!
Shinee is always Jinki - Taemin - Jjong - Minho - Kibum for me.
Our center may not be here, but I'm happy they decided to stay as Shinee forever. Jjong must be very proud ☺️
yes that’s jonghyun color HES always liked minty things and the color mint even loved absolutely love mint chocolate! and yes may 25th 2008 was their debut with their song replay
Mental health is definitely not a joke, its a battle inside you, you alone against all those darkness, fear, anxiety, loneliness, scary thoughts and all. It's just like a bottomless pit. No one knows what you've been trough, n people sometimes can be so ignorant to tell you 'dont be sad' or ' you just not thankful enough' guys... Thank you for just being here. Especially you sir Toogrown. You guys are warrior!
Omg! I love your reactions!!!! I am crying right now. Shinee is one of the best group ever! You have to react to "HYEYA" singing by JONGHYUN, its an original cover of a spanish song but it is singing with a lot of emotions! so iconic and everybody needs to listing to it!!!!
This song crushes my heart. I legit started to cry listening to it the other day even though the song is 2 years old. I barley even knew much about him. And I watched more videos About him and i broke down sobbing cause he is such an angel. But God must be happy an angel has returned home...
💜💜💜 sending love to all of you guys who are having a hard time. Know it gets better and if you need a friend who will be by your side I’m here and practically the whole fandom is here for you!!!’💜💜💜💜
Why I feel like crying? I don't even know Shinee. The lyrics are way too deep and personal :'(
😭😭😭
May 25, 2008 - SHINee’s Debut;
Pearl Aqua - SHINee’s Color
The lyrics to Our Page is so beautiful. Like a love letter to Jonghyun. Like their page as FIVE, their story as SHINee is not done yet. The members will continue it, they will write more of their story together as FIVE. 💖
aqua pearl green is shinee's official color and the lights turning on at the end is shawols (shinee's fanbase) that basically stand with shinee through all of this........
i've only watched this mv once and honestly i haven't watched this ever since it was released bc i couldn't watch it without crying... it's been almost 3 years and it turned out i still can't... but anyways, thanks for showing tribute to jonghyun with this ♡ (it's pronounced chong hyeon btw)
Shinee is very special. The Princes of Kpop who set the standard for what an idol group should be. And Jonghyun was a wonderful man and maybe the best male vocalist in the genre. We will always miss him and cherish him. You may be familiar with Taemin who is from Shinee and is also in SuperM. You should learn more about Shinee. True greatness.
This meant a lot. Key just came home from the military yesterday. I am so excited to see them all together again soon. You did well Jonghyung!💎
Thank you for your sincerity. It is a treasure in this mostly corrupt and fake world. The lights are "pearl aqua" which is SHINee's group color. As others note, May 25, 2008 was SHINee's debut date -- all the members were 18 or younger at that point. So, they lived together, trained together, performed together since they were, basically, kids. If you curious, you might want to listen some SHINee classics and/or to Jonghyun's (aka Jjong) solo music. Jong's death was a loss for many reasons but, for music lovers, we'll never get to enjoy what he might have composed or performed had he lived. Luckily, he did produce 4 albums (correct me if I am wrong, Shawols) - Base, Story Opus 1, Story Opus 2 and Poet/Artist. Jjong's music, while pop, is coolly experimental, almost jazzy and the lyrics are really something (note that Jong wrote the music and lyrics for his solo work and frequently wrote songs for SHINee and other artists). This year, the Seoul Philharmonic started to perform orchestral versions of Kpop. For their first songs to perform, out of all the Kpop songs out there, they chose a Red Velvet song and one of Jjong's songs called End of a Day. Jjong is one of the reasons SHINee is legend. His art, with SHINee and as a soloist, is going to stand the test of time.
I tried so hard not to cry. I love Shinee and mostly sm groups been a fan since their debut. It's still heartbreaking though years had passed. Thank you for supporting Shinee. I hope you get to know their music more. Shinee will always be five. No matter what
MV was 5 minutes and 10 seconds long, Shinee had 5 members and been together for 10years 🥺
I don’t know shinee that well but this song has me sobbing 😭
Well check them they have done so much for K-pop
Jonghyun wrote beautiful music for not only Shinee but other artists aswell ontop of his many talents. He was Taemin's #1 fan and MY GOD can he sing. He was always there to support and care for his friends. When he died i couldn't believe how much grief i felt for someone i had never met, for a celebrity. I felt like i was being dramatic as i had no kpop friends and didn't know why i was so affected. I am still broken hearted at the loss but i cant stop myself from listening to his beautiful music. I love the vidoes of shinee goofing around together like that krump add 😅 and the "ring ding dong" skit. SHINEE'S music has shaped alot of kpop music and you will see memes about never starting a person with ring ding dong as their first kpop song. Their live performances prove their vocals are no joke. I love "woof woof" as one of the more light hearted fun songs. 💙💙💙💚💚💚 Any shawols here help me get toogrown to react to more Shinee!
I too can't explain the grief I felt for someone I didn't know (and who wasn't an English speaker, if you know what I mean). Don't think I'll ever feel that way again. I don't have any k-pop friends either so got no comfort from sharing the feelings. And I also love watching him and the boys goofing around. That krump....pure gold, just about sums up his adorable goofiness, haha.
Thank you. Your reaction is very truthful and respectful. Thank you for showing love to SHINee. They deserve the world.
Seeing you react to jonghyun singing y Sí fuera ella (hyeya) would mean a lot! 😢
at the end of the song kim kibun says (suiso)what does it mean, you did it well, that was what jonghyun said to his sister in a message (tell me I did it well). and May 25 is the date they debuted and the aquaperl color is the color of the group's characteristic fandom
I'm just crying, this is so emotional.. And meaningful...
this always gives me chills I have been a fan of them since 2015 and only got to spend 2 years with him
Thank you for your reaction. Mental health is no joke. Going trought it since a very young age, I understand what it feel like. I too taught death will be the only way out but it is not. Life has good and bad day and you never when you would leave this world so keep moving on. Their is no night that last forever and no day that won't end.
Thank you so much for this reaction and appreciating SHINee's music. These boys brought me to KPop and he was my first bias, it still hits me hard whenever I listen to their music specially this one.
It's okay if you don't know what to say; sometimes silence says and expresses more than words! I wasn't really a follower of Shinee at the time of his passing; and really didn't know anything about him other than his name; but even I was reduced to tears that day through the love and pain that was expressed throughout the Shinee fandom! Just remember, sometimes REACTING is more about what you think and feel than what you express in words! And don't feel obligated to comment on everything you see and hear! One of the reasons why the Grown Squad has grown so fast is the fact that your reactions are honest and genuine; and we believe your opinions when you express them! Just keep doing what you're doing; we're all here for you! #GrowmSquad
I am in full on tears, words cant even pronounce how much I miss him... More then anything I hope he is finally at peace and looking down on everyone who loved him with a smile. Thank you for choosing this song and giving it the love and respect it deserved. I have grown a love and respect for you fully cause of this. I love you Shinee, I love you Jonghyun.
omg im crying again while watch this, thankyou for reacting our beautiful one and only shinee♡
In lyrics video didn't show, but in the middle of these tears it's very important to say that Onew almost at the final of the song says "You did well" in korean. I hope that don't go unnoticed.
Love from Portugal🇵🇹
(Lets all be part of the SHINeeWORLD)
Being a Shawol for 10 yrs it is hard not to think of Jonghyun. The day he passed in 2017 in December it was like a great light went out, Shinee color is blue. His passing affected a lot of people. He wrote songs for other idols EXO Playboy, Lee Hi Breathe, etc. 💙
SHINee and jonghyun have done and change so much K-pop in the good direction. Everybody needs to check how SHINee has change K-pop with their music and their rôle has sunbae. Oh yeah jonghyun is by far the most iconic vocalist in K-pop. He was so Big
I can't help but cry knowing that he's truly gone. I remember waking up that morning to see an article that said he had passed away. As a fan I can't imagine what his members and loved ones went through, it was already so painful. The 2nd generation of kpop idols gave me so much life and so much strength through the hardest years of my life. Thank you for such a genuine and sincere video to such precious gems.
Even though he is gone now, his music (solo and with SHINee) is gonna live forever, so in a way he is always gonna be here ❤️ and you really do make my day better! Coming from a Shawol, thanks for looking into SHINee 😊
thank you so much for this reaction... ive been waiting for you to react to shinee for awhile now... this song truly hits the heart... please keep reacting to them to honor our beloved jjong... 5hinee is always and forever 5...
I still remember the day I found out and it hit me in an unpredictable way. SHINee was one of the first groups I heard in 2009 and they were already considered legends at that point. I could see them being married and mentors to a new generation. It shocked me to realize, one day I will be older than Jonghyun. Even though he was my senior by five years. If you listen to his solo work, I found some areas where he and Taemin drew from the same inspiration and it really brought home that he lives through them. Stay healthy everyone and know you are loved by someone.
New to this channel and subscribing because I love how you reacted to this song which was writtedn by SHINee members themselves. Thank you, i appreciate you checking out the lyrics first as it will make you understand the mv more. It wasn't shown in the lyric video but there is a part in the lyrics where Minho whispered something towards the end - he said "sugohaesseo" (during the woah woah part) meaning "you did well" as a message to Jonghyun.
Yes at the start they were just going thru the motions and they were like numb, and didn't know how to snap out of it. Walking and seeing that greenish light is like them picking themselves up again and continue. That light actually is pearl aqua, the official color of SHINee, and may also represent the shawols (SHINee fans) and SHINee as a group. It's like guiding them to continue and so we see them going up the stage and performing again with that mic stand as a reminder that Jonghyun is still with them. That they are still a 5 member group.
You just had to make me cry at the end. Held it together until the end.
The reason I keep coming in here to watch your videos is because, just like you, I really enjoy watching kpop and share this with someone, even if it is through a screen. Thank you for another honest reaction. Shows how big your heart is.
Please stay healthy, become happy. Experience joy and love. And I love you, as a friend and a fellow kpop fan. 💜
Thank you so much for your reaction! I regularly re-watch the MV or the live stages for this song, but sometimes I need someone who is watching it with me together. Someone who can share this feeling, so I'm really glad that I discoverd your video today. I love to know that people know about this song and the story of 'Our Page'. The story of SHINee, which will be a part of me for the rest of my life. The story of SHINee and Shawols who write the pages of this story together..... Love you all and thank you for beeing here
What a genuine guy. Bro we love and enjoy every clips of yours.
Thank you for this respectful reaction, and thank you for speak about important matters.
As for SHINee, even when they were suffering, people still badmouth because they were trying to look forward despite their lost. But thanks to their own family and SHINee World, they little by little, they move on having Jonghyun as part of our world ✨
Oh wow I absolutely cannot watch this video right now because of my own mental illnesses and was just severely re-traumatized. But I did make a point to watch your intro, and thank you for your sensitivity and care 💙
Everything will get better I promise! Glad to have you apart of the Squad!
I just ran across your post. I wanted to let you know that I’m sorry you were hurting then and I hope you have had the support you need and that you are feeling better and stronger today! ❤️💕
you should watch the live performance they did of "from now on". it was also a tribute to our puppy.
SHINee 5 FOREVER 💎💎💎😍Thank you so much for this reaction💗💗💗
💗💗💗
Hurts really much, until today, hurts like day one.
Shawol remember him with a smile, sometimes we cry, but we want celebrate his life, and talent, and music, lirics, we miss Jonghyun very much.
It really breaks my heart when someone is suffering so much that the only way they find is taking their lives. I think we all go through very bad times at some time in our life, its important to keep holding on because better things will come. Please talk to someone if you are feeling like that. We are all precious ones from the moment we are born. You are beautiful, please remember that.
I’ve been watching your videos as of late and I really enjoyed this reaction. It’s raw and honest and genuine. You gained a new follow. Respect for being open and taking the time to research Shinee and the meaning behind the song. You’re already one of my fave reactors! Thanks for being YOU and for being here!
Thank you for this. I'm really happy you looked up the meaning of how important this song is to the group and fans... It still hurts when I think about that day, but I try my best to stay positive. As someone who also struggles with mental health, I think his music is actually a huge comfort. Please check out some of Jonghyun's songs like "End of a Day", "Shining", "Lonely", "Skeleton Flower", "Hashtag", "Beyond Our Spring", and "Shining". It's still hard for some Shawol to see him since they miss him so much, but we are also glad to have people discover what a beautiful and bright person he is. I also suggest looking more into SHINee as a group.
In the music video, the color is the group's color and the color of the Shawol fanlights. They see the light which reminds them that he's still with him and they rise to the stars to sing to him, letting him know that they are still together as five and will carry on. Even in the most recent SHINee concert, they had a mic for him. The group are more than this incident and so his Jonghyun, so we fans encourage people to look more into the group and to also stay strong as we carry on. Thanks for this reaction and for your words.
The lyrics made me cry even after about 3 years. The thing is I didn't know shinee till this accident happened but after hearing about the bad news, I got to dig in shinee and know them better and as I was getting more familiar , I was just experiencing more sadness and sorrow for Jonghyun as I could see how great of a person he was and I felt so sorry for not knowing him before, but nothing could've done and now I just listen to his works and enjoy his great masterpieces hoping he is at least not suffering anymore. Rest in peace Jonghyun.
there's a spring day x our page mashup that i adore, the two songs go so well together it's beautiful,,,
New subs. Here! Its SHINee my favorite group! The reason on How I stand Taemin now! Miss jjong! Miss them so much! Thank You for reacting it!! Im excited to reunite them again!
I was late to discover Shinee, but you can feel in this song how much he meant to them and those who still adore him. I lost a friend last year to suicide, and an uncle the year before. It's not something I could ever understand, I want to protect those I love but things like that make you see how powerless you are sometimes. All you can do is be there.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss :( We here for you braddah!
Being a psychiatrist and a Shawol, it was such a heavy experience for me when the news first broke out. I don’t know him personally, but I felt like I lost a dear friend and brother, especially as I was lucky enough to see them in concert just a few months prior. It also reminded me of the reality of depression and suicide, and how they may occur in even the happiest looking people. And that is why I always encourage people to form good quality relationships with other people, communicate, and be vigilant for any signs of mental health issues.
The first sentence and I'm already crying.
Remembering teh day how articles popped up every hour about his condition and then announcing his death. I was hoping for a whole day that it has been a stupid joke. RIP Jonghyun, you did well.
The first time i saw this mv cry from the beginning, i didn't know how it would end and when i got to the end i couldn't stop myself. People really don't know what goes on in the head of someone who commits suicide, or do those of us who have ever tried it. Depression is one of the most horrible illnesses in terms of the psyche, and many people still don't believe that this is an attempt on life. It takes a lot to stick your head out and want to breathe. For those who couldn't make it, for those of us who are on the seemingly endless path and for those who made it out, thank you.
Good reaction, thank you so much!!!!
This song is so emotional and very meaningful. SHINee's and shawols process to cope with this hasn't been easy, but we're closer to each other as a family and we know he's always there, our dear angel! you should also check their 2018 concert in Japan, the concert was a tribute to him, so SHINee and shawols could honor him together, it's quite a tearful experience but totally worth watching, specially the songs "From now on" and "Diamond Sky".
I'm wondering if you have more reactions to SHINee? I can't find any other video or playlist 😔
I haven't cried over this song in a little while, but whew, it really got me again this time.
Thank you for your emotion during this. It shows that despite you not knowing too much about SHINee, you understand, and you care.
I'm glad I don't cry over it too often, because although this is a beautiful way to cherish his memory, I feel like he would want us to remember the happy times more than the sad.
I thank SHINee every day, for letting us grieve with them in this way. For showing us this part of themselves.
I have been a shawol for 12 years, and I couldn't be more proud of them. They're so strong.
SHINee are always five, and shawols will always love all of them.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Your the man, TG. Your the man.
Jonghyun will always be remembered what a legendary vocalist and above all amazing human being, I always cry when I listen to this, it's still sometime hits me and is hard to process he's really gone. Always support our Shinee babies, Key just came back from the military 💙
Jonghyun is a precious soul. He passed in December of 2017. Mental health is becoming easier to talk about in South Korea, but it wasn't that way then. It's still very new. But please keep watching all 5 members of shinee. Shinee will always be 5 and Jonghyun would want you to listen to and enjoy their music. Solo stuff and group.
I love you man. This video has brought me tears. Mental health is no joke. I have been part of the squad since mid april. Love your genuine reactions plus your willingness to learn about different groups and remember their members names. Watching all your videos with you, becoming a day one patreon family member and talking to other people have been such a blast! We family now! Much loves to you my braddah! 🤙🏾
just a week after jong's death, the blue moon appeared in the sky, it was like a sign for many fans
the color/light you mentioned is SHINee’s official color, it’s called pearl aqua. The color represents the fandom who keep them going until now. Hope it answers your question. Have a nice day💙
I’m so thankful for your attention to SHINee
All of us
Thank you for reacting to both the lyrics and the video because it really helps to understand the whole meaning of the video!
yea.. you got me over here tryin my andest not to cry again while i watch this on the subway. its been a few year and it still hits me hard when i listen and actively read the lyrics or watch the video mann ...
Thank you. I cryed from the first sentence. I know what it means to lose a good friend to suicide. It's still heartbreaking. It happened 1.6 years ago. He turned 41 years old. Loneliness especially now with covid is not a good combination. Stay in touch with the people around you as much as possible. Greetings from the Netherlands
It really makes me happy when I see people reacting to shinee bc they’re really an amazing talented group and I would love to see more shinee reactions from you as an shawol it would make me sooo happy 🥺 one of the members Key came back from military and Minho is the last one so hopefully we’ll get a shinee cb soon as possible ☺️
This song reminded me of my dad nearly dying in a car crash in July this year and God gave him a second chance
Thank you for reacting to this one and talk about it, I been in one myself and nearly did what he did. But i got helped by lovely people.
Also this group one of the group that i grown up with. Thank You.
We are all here for each other! Glad to hear how strong you are! You have lovely people by your side and right here on this channel!
@@TooGrown Thanx Man. Thanks a lot.
thanks for this respectful reaction to one of the songs that brought much trauma healing to the entire fandom and SHINee themselves too. we hope you can react to Jonghyun and more of SHINee. Jonghyun was one of the (if not the best) vocalists and song-writers in the industry, and he was such a wonderful human being. It would be a shame for us to not continue to celebrate his talent and amazing works that he had gifted us during his time here.
I am crying so hard right now. Jonghyun was such an amazing human and I remember December 18th like it was yesterday. My whole world broke down the second I got the news, I left school and ran home💔
Got a tattoo for Jonghyun a few months before my 18th birthday and everyone told me it was stupid but seeing how much it still affects me I don't regret one it at all
Too Grown ... thank you for your sincerity! This is the only 2nd k-video reaction I’ve ever watched that wasn’t BTS... so usually I only see you on Mondays👍🏻☺️
This was heart felt and I remember learning about him from suga’s IU song!
I sincerely wish joy for you and your community of subs!
BORAHAE!💟🙋🏻♀️ fighting for our youth and all humanity in these trying times!
i remember the whole world shook for him >>>>there is also another song called good night they released it after he died
This still hurts... Thanks to react💙.. we everyday have in our minds and hearts (even with every single progress from the guys) to Jong-Hyun. 💚The Story of Light means a lot not just because they took the most importan choose in their life but every single arreglament has a secret dedication musically and conceptually to Jong Hyun. Thanks to keep 💎5HINee on your reactions!!! As shawol 💎 hope you keep sharing more videos 💙💙💙💙
You do make my day better. Thank you. You don't have to always react to emotional videos, but I think it is important for people to know there is so much more to the Kpop music than flashy colors/dance moves type of MVs. Jonghyun was such a talented composer and I wonder about the songs we are missing out on because he is not around. I listen to the song he wrote for Lee Hi "Breathe" whenever I think of Jonghyun because the lyrics are so meaningful for me. 💙
Yes, I think we have missed out on hundreds of songs he would have given us. Even when he got older and perhaps stopped performing, I could imagine him writing songs for others; also writing poetry and novels, who knows......aah.
I miss SHINee as 5. Forever Shawol.💜💜
I've only seen the live version that the guys did at their first concert. I couldn't watch the video when it came out, it was too painful. I came across your video and I wanted to see your reaction because I know how honest and considerate you are when it comes to reactions. Those 4 guys, his brothers love and miss him so much. So do his fans and the kpop industry. Let's all make sure that our family, friends and communities know that they are loved.
Another of jonghyun song that always made my heart hurt is Breathe. When Kyuhyun sang it on masked singer, I can't hold back my tears. Because Kyuhyun is one of Jonghyun friend since trainee and Jonghyun passed away when Kyu was in the military. So I can only imagine how helpless it made Kyu feel. I'm so happy that this year Heechul decided to mass sue all the hate commenters.
SuperM (has taemin from SHINee, kai and baekhyun from EXO, and Taeyong, Mark, Lucas, and Ten from NCT) just performed their song Better Days which is in english for the World Health Organization's campaign for Mental Health Day. Please check it out as well as SuperM's other stuff. That song is the perfect song to listen to when you are having a bad day or feeling down.
May 25, 2008 is the date when shinee debuted as a group ❤️ making their first appearance on a music show called Inkigayo. This music video is so heartbreaking because it shows the members trying to keep up with their lives and routines but something just doesn't feel the same as they know that one of them is missing and they're just trying to process it. This song always makes me emotional, is such beautiful and devastating song and mv :(
Its still fresh, im crying again. ts been awhile but its still fresh. it breaks my heart so much remembering him, his a beautiful person. he left a day after my birthday..ill never forget. kpop saved me from depression, it still does. thankyou man for reacting to this. WE LOVE YOU JONGHYUN 😭❤️ You did well. RIP
You should listen to You and I... another beautiful song that written for him by another member, Key :)
This video was awesome, thank you so much!
You're doing great bro. Stay strong. You bring us joy through your videos. The only reaction is a true reaction. Don't hide what you're feeling. Lost a cousin this way. Such a great personality to everyone. Young and handsome. But kept it contained within. Wish he spoke more about his condition to the family. Best to talk about it. After Jonghyun passed these young ladies named ATTENTION did a dance cover tribute of SHINee's Replay. After their video they left hotline numbers for many countries for individuals in need of help. Check it out. Best we can do is celebrate Jonghyun's life through the art he has left for us in his great dancing and singing. Keep the reactions coming bro and we'll keep watching.
the day after jonghyun passed away something strange happened... the moon turned aqua pearl green. that's not even a joke, it really happened, at least in asia. many people took pictures of the moon that night and it felt like it was jonghyun's last goodbye to us... i'm sure you can find to pics on twitter, still, i still can't believe it really happened, but it did... aqua pearl green is shinee's official color and when the boys look up, they see this color...
I miss them as a whole so very much. Death leaves such an emptiness where someone once was, a missing piece. Jonghyun, I miss you the most. Rest in Peace, you worked hard. Thank you for reacting to this, so that we can honour Jonghyun, through these amazing friends. 💔. I want to thank you for your kindness and lovely words.
I took my time in getting to this reaction. I had gotten into Shinee and learned about them not even months before Jonghyun... I uh, decided to react to it in memory of him as the anniversary is tomorrow. I always get extremely sad during this time, and I kinda just wanted to watch certain not entirely alone if you know what I mean. So thank you TG, and don't worry, you were yourself and were very respectful. As a Shawol, thank you. Secondly, there is an album they released after his passing... it's called Poet Artist. I am not requesting a reaction for it, but I am suggesting it. I listen to it during this time too, just to remember him for his beautiful mind, and sensitivity, and how creative he was. I feel like a lot of concepts from that album and work (like musically, and in video productions) had a hand in influencing how the kpop industry now tells stories. I also feel like, even in spite of the mourning that was happening, and still is, it opened up the doors to talk about love a lot deeper than it did before. Miracle, Feel Special, Our Page, We are bulletproof: the Eternal, Eight, and a lot of others really have that feeling. Talking about how we love each other, being supportive, and expressing those deeper emotions in music will forever hit me a certain type of way. If you read through this all... I uh hope you're having a great day, I love you and remember that stars are best visible during the night. Stay strong Squad.
