마음이 너무 아프다 정말 너무 아프다 ..
그 많은 사랑을 받았어도 채워지지 않은 외로움과
공허함이 얼마나 쓸쓸했을까, 고생했어,그리고 미안해— JO KWON (@2AMkwon) December 18, 2017
Jo Kwon later also shared a photo of himself performing with Jonghyun, as well as Super Junior’s Sungmin and singer Kim Ji Ho. He wrote about how they had debuted in the same year and added, “A shining boy has become a star. May you rest in peace.”
Actress and former Hello Venus member Yoo Ara posted on Instagram, “Jonghyun, I still feel like I’m in a dream. Even looking at this photo now, it seems like just a few days ago… I feel like I’ll be able to see you again while smiling. The fact that that’s not true is so hard… You were the best musician, and the most warmhearted person, and someone who seemed like both a senior artist that I admired and a friend.
“You were a true musician who filled every moment with music since I came to know you ten years ago, as well as someone who wanted to make happy music. We will never forget you. So this is how it feels when your heart is being ripped apart… This is so hard, I can’t take it. It hurts so much that it feels like my heart is being torn out with a knife. He was one of the few people whom I could share my feelings with since I began doing this job. Jonghyun, don’t go… don’t go.. I’ll pray that you rest in peace. Jonghyun, thank you. Thank you even just for existing.”
Former EXO member Tao wrote on Instagram that he remembered hearing the song “Hot Times” (by the unit SM The Ballad including Jonghyun) when he first went to a music show during his first time in Korea. “It’s such a beautiful memory,” he wrote. “Because of that performance and song, I wanted to be on stage right away, so I wanted to train more quickly too. Thank you for giving me strength. The first senior artist I met in Korea was you. I think I can’t express how I feel at this moment.”
DAY6’s Jae tweeted with the message, “As one of my first Korean influences, my heart aches for this tragedy. From the bottom of my heart, may he rest in peace.”
