Kim Jonghyun (Hangul: 김종현; April 8, 1990 – December 18, 2017), better known… Read Full Bio ↴Kim Jonghyun (Hangul: 김종현; April 8, 1990 – December 18, 2017), better known mononymously as Jonghyun, was a South Korean singer-songwriter, record producer, radio host, and author. He was the main vocalist of the South Korean boy group SHINee, and had further participated in S.M. Entertainment's project group S.M. S.M. The Ballad. Jonghyun debuted as a solo artist on January 12, 2015 with his first EP, titled BASE. In the same year, on September 17, Jonghyun released a compilation album, 이야기 Op.1 (Story Op.1). On May 24, 2016, Jonghyun released his first studio album, 좋아 (She Is).
Jonghyun has been active in music since he was in junior high school. He was in a band and participated in many festivals in his area. In his band, he was not a vocalist but a bassist. The band's name was "ZION" and during one of its shows, he was scouted by SM. Before his debut with SHINee, he sang a duet with Zhang Li Yin in the song “交错的爱 (Wrongly Given Love)” for her Chinese album.
Jonghyun was discovered at the 2005 S.M. Casting System. In 2008, he was chosen as a member of the group Shinee, the 5-member boy group debuted on May 25, 2008 on SBS's Inkigayo.
In November 2010, it was revealed by SM Entertainment that Jonghyun, along with TRAX’s Jay, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, and rookie singer, Jino, had formed a project group, S.M. The Ballad, under their label. The group focuses more on ballad rather than pop and R&B themes. The group released their debut album, "너무 그리워 (Miss You)", on November 29, 2010. They debuted on November 28, 2010 on SBS's Inkigayo with their lead single, "너무 그리워 (Miss You)". They also promoted another single from the album, "Hot Times (시험하지 말기)".
In February 4, 2014, SM Entertainment revealed that SM The Ballad will make a comeback with new members, Jonghyun being the only one from the original formation. It was later revealed that he would be singing, together with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, the title track of the new album, "숨소리 (Breath)".
In October 2010, Jonghyun was one of twenty idols from various South Korean groups that recorded the song, "Let's Go," for the purpose of increasing public participation in the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit. He provided vocals along with label-mates Sungmin, Seohyun and Luna.
In the 4th mini album "Sherlock", Jonghyun had written the two songs "늘 그자리에 (Honesty)" and "알람시계 (Alarm Clock)". The song "Honesty" is written to give thanks to their fans who have stayed by their side with unchanging love until now. The other song, "Alarm Clock" which is also co-written with fellow member Minho, is about wishing to wake up from a nightmare of past break-up. He also wrote for multiple SHINee songs including "너와 나의 거리 (Selene 6.23)" (album "The Misconceptions of Us") and "상사병 (Symptoms)" (album "Everybody"). Jonghyun fully composed the collaboration track with IU, "Gloomy Clock" in IU's 3rd album "Modern Times". He also fully composed, wrote and lead the vocal direction for Son Dam Bi's digital single, "Red Candle". Not only did Jonghyun compose and write the song, he also took part in the vocal directing. The lyrics relate the characteristics of a candle to someone in love, who feels excited and nervous at the same time.
As a DJ for MBC FM4U's midnight radio show "Blue Night" Jonghyun has revealed his newly written songs on his radio show which he has prepared for a special corner called "Blue Night Lyrics, That Man's Composition". Back in June, DJ Jonghyun tweeted: “As I started Blue Night, I contemplated on how to incorporate myself well into the program… As expected, the conclusion is communicating with listeners and music! That’s why I have prepared a project where I personally write a song pertaining to a listener’s story and let you hear it. The name of the corner is ‘Blue Night Lyrics, That Man Composition’. It won’t be aired every week, but it will be aired once every few months as a special corner, so please send in a lot of stories. I’m accepting stories through the homepage.”
MBC FM4U have revealed starting from July 7th, they will be releasing the self-composed and self-written songs of Jonghyun. Furthermore it was stated that Jonghyun has written a total of 7 songs and that they will be revealed succession over several weeks.
On December 18th, 2017, Jonghyun was found in his apartment unconscious after what evidence has pointed out was most likely a suicide attempt. He passed away while emergency services were transporting him to the hospital.

환상통
종현 Lyrics
눈을 뜰 때마다 더 또렷해
감히 넌 상상도 못하던 것
목표 못 삼을 절대적인 것
You're always right and i'm wrong
스치듯 마주친 손끝엔
아직 두려운 불안함이
가득한 걸 알아 나는
그것도 너니까 이해해 oh
두 눈 또렷한 이유
귓불 밑이 뜨거워진 이유
손끝 저릿한 기분
널 감당할 건 나뿐이야
아무도 못해 only one you need (need need)
Only one you need (need need)
The only one you need (need need)
널 만족시켜 주려 해 right here
I just gotta blow oh
너와 난 사라졌던 그 한 조각
I wanna be the only one
The only one you need
눈부시게 아름다운 건 항상 그래
쓰러질 듯 또 흔들려
곧 터질 듯 위태롭게 빛나
늘 불안할수록 더욱더
온몸 찢어져 흩어져도
내가 다 감싸 안을 테니
여기 안겨 널 터트려
뭐든 괜찮아 널 안았으니 yeah
두 눈 또렷한 이유
귓불 밑이 뜨거워진 이유
손끝 저릿한 기분
널 감당할 건 나뿐이야
아무도 못해 only one you need (need need)
Only one you need (need need)
너와 난 사라졌던 그 한 조각
I wanna be the only one
The only one you need
I can't wait for you (for you, for you, for you)
흐트러진 폼이 위험해 보여 yeah
Yeah 긴장은 풀어 내게 다 맡겨줘
나와 같은 널 보고만 있을 순 없어
Oh oh oh, I wanna be
I wanna be the only one
The only one you need yeah
너와 난 사라졌던 그 한 조각 (I wanna be)
I wanna be the only one
The only one you need
Only one you need (need need)
The only one you need
사라졌던 (그) 한 조각
I wanna be the only one you need
감히 넌 상상도 못하던 것
목표 못 삼을 절대적인 것
You're always right and i'm wrong
스치듯 마주친 손끝엔
아직 두려운 불안함이
가득한 걸 알아 나는
그것도 너니까 이해해 oh
두 눈 또렷한 이유
손끝 저릿한 기분
널 감당할 건 나뿐이야
아무도 못해 only one you need (need need)
Only one you need (need need)
The only one you need (need need)
널 만족시켜 주려 해 right here

@happynunu
이제야 와닿아서, 이제서야 너무 슬프다. 머리로는 알겠는데 마음으로 이해하는데에 너무 오래걸려서... 서글프다. 이렇게라도 보고 들을 수 있어서 행복해. 당신도 그곳에서는 늘 행복하기를.
