It’s been 4 years since the passing of South Korean singer-songwriter, producer, author, and SHINee member Kim Jong-hyun, most famously known as “Jonghyun”. Known for his artistic control over his music which was rare in the K-Pop industry, as well as one of South Korea’s best vocalists, Jonghyun was (and still is) a beloved person and an idol to many artists in the industry and for fans all around the world.
In memory of SHINee’s main vocalist, SM Entertainment posted a photo of Jonghyun on SHINee’s social media accounts, with the caption “I always love you” at 12 M.N. KST.
Other SM Entertainment artists like Red Velvet’s Yeri posted photos of her with Jonghyun on her Instagram stories, and fellow SHINee members Minho and Key posted photos in memory of their beloved member.
