He was taken off blu3 night in April to focus on his solo activities. Essem wanted him to go back to idol work. He released Story Op.2 and prepared for solo concerts which were held in December 2017. I think 0new's scandal and them having to go on a hiatus because of it added to his trauma. He lost his radio show and also had to worry about his group's future. No one talks about it now but when 0new's scandal initially broke out it was taken very seriously by Knetz. There were even rumors about Sh1nee disbanding because of it. Some people have also speculated that Jj0ng was stressed out because of his military service. If he had stayed alive, he would have to go at the end of 2018 and knowing how sensitive and broken he was his reaction to military service could be even stronger than T@emin's reaction to it.Money shows who truly friends. During debut, Jj0ng was kind to Taem1n, giving warm smiles or encouragement. He was always sweet to him, compared to the others. Minh0 would baby him but didn't have the same bond, none of them did. I think he didn't give the letter to Taem1n because he wouldn't have kept it until Jj0ng died. He didn't want to burden Taem1n, or make him feel responsible. Taem1n would've done something to get help, but it wouldn't have been enough.
Jj0ng clearly gave up. When he cried on his last day at Blu3 L1ght, how close was that to the day he died? Many traumas added up to create the push that sent him spiraling. Losing show could have been the last straw. Kpop groups are a workspaces. There's friends, enemies, bullies and bullied, but it's usually not where you find support. Rich idols unless they're taught humility and kindness, have no use for the others unless they have connections or are popular. Observe how idols treat people outside their jobs. If the person can't give them anything, how do they act. A few idols or actors have reputations that are awful towards staff.
I think if he would've given the suicide note to someone among his members it would be the older ones not T@emin who was the youngest and the baby of the group. Giving T@emin the suicide note would only leave him with even worse trauma and separation issues than he has now. We have to keep in mind that Jj0ng's death happened literally the next day after Move era ended so jj0ng probably did not tell him because it would affect his career. 0new the leader was going through a tough time already so he could not give the suicide note to him. That leaves K3y and M1nho and K3y wasn't even in Korea in December 2017. I think though he could have told M1nho about it beforehand. However, M1nho is more of the bro type friend imo and he doesn't seem like the friend who would be able to give advice to someone struggling with depression. What we know about M1nho from Sh1nee's content is that he is very passionate, and he has the traditional mindset of "you can overcome it" which almost never works when you are talking to someone with severe depression. 0new and T@emin are the members who have been hit the hardest by his death and I think 0new's scandal and T@emin being at the peak of his career when it happened could be a reason for it.
