SHINee Performs Without Jonghyun Because of His High Fever

Jun 19, 2011

Soompi recently reported that SHINee would be making K-Pop history by performing at the world-renowned Abbey Road. The premier reception was going as planned, but shortly after the rehearsal, Jonghyun and the SME staff decided that it would be best for Jonghyun’s health for him to rest during this occasion. SM staff writes:

“5 members of SHINee were planning to perform the best stage for the debut in Japan, but JONGHYUN couldn’t participate in the LIVE Stage because of high fever. Thus SM staff decided to open the LIVE Stage with only 4 members. This decision is made for JONGHYUN’s health so we ask for your understanding regarding this matter.

Also relay of ‘SHINee JAPAN DEBUT PREMIUM RECEPTION in LONDON’ in FACEBOOK SMTOWN will be postponed due to the situation. However, our staff will upload some parts of the LIVE Stage (video) as soon as possible (photos will be uploaded continuously).

We hope everyone can cheer JONGHYUN up and wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.
Thank you for reading and all your understanding.”

Thankfully, SHINee finished their stage safely and successfully, and SM staff asked fans to please pray for Jonghyun’s speed receovery.

SMTown also uploaded several fantastic photos of the SHINee members during this momentous occasion.
