I didn't know listening to this song again would bring so much pain. SHINee did so much for me in my high school days. I'm just a nobody and now I'm so hurt I wasn't able to do anything for our beloved main vocals. I can't stop crying.
@kunokoaeri3505
KangDanJeojang PH a lot of people fell like you, even SHINee's members i think. But. Now he feels really better, he is in a better world, and always with us and SHINee. Don't cry please. He is with some beautiful people, so much. As we know him, he don't want us to think like this. He don't want it, i'm sure.

@Jess-jg6rx
I feel you, shinee help me through my depression
@justforthecommentinglol9955
KangDanJeojang PH Don't feel that way. He is still here. Lay still, listen to his voice and you'll feel him too.
@HitherethisisLove
Same, they were for me when I was being bullied, they were the only hope i had (and still have) in humanity
@rie4449
I have never seen SHINee in person, nor will probably have the opportunity to, but I love them and their music so much. They will receive undying support from me no matter what. I love them so much, it's shocking to me. People that I don't even know create such a big impact on me, and it's a beautiful, but also sad feeling. I'm crying while binge listening to their songs. <3
@citrahafilah3174
Choi Kaylee hope you'll meet them in a person someday :)
@rie4449
Citra Hafilah Thank you so much. <3
