Hello ^^
I am occasionally active on this thread, I am glad that the discussion about Jonghyun became a topic again... I have some things to discuss with all of you, what do you think?
I really don't think he is dead, I rather believe that all was faked:
- The members' reaction, in that funeral video, Minho (especially him), Onew and Taemin have that look in their eyes, not annoyance, but 'we have to deal with this', 'this is awkward', like they are somehow forced to do something not very pleasant, to deal with formalities. I feel sadness from them, as in SHINee won't be the same, the future is getting darker for the world etc., but not that type of darkness as in when someone has died. Also, during their last comebacks, they don't seem bothered and don't talk about Jonghyun... I get that vibe as it was the case with SNSD after Jessica left - it is ?awkward? and there is no need to talk about it, it's not a big deal etc. Like Jonghyun only left the group. Regarding concerts and solo activities, do they still mention Jonghyun or still leave that empty microphone stand for him? Did they cry during their concerts?
- If you have seen Minho's 'I'm home', in the video there are many clocks showing 6 o'clock. Do you think it could be a connection to Jonghyun's 'death' time? I really cannot see any evil in the SHINee members (except Taemin, but it is like when he is with the group, he does not seem evil), in the last comeback Key and Onew seem to have lost weight and are drained, but I still cannot see guilt in them. Moreso for Minho, yet since he is so good friends with TVXQ, I don't know what to think, maybe he has a high degree in masonry? He seems very stable mentally, compared to the other members. And since the debut, he was very quiet and now is so talkative and extroverted, while the members changed somehow for the worse?
- Why do you think Jonghyun's family did not allow his recordings on the Story of Light album? Why did they forbid an 'autopsy' and all? If he was an organ donor, is it okay to incinerate his body? Why is there no casket photo, is it illegal in Korea to have the casket open or covered with glass for some time? Maybe Jonghyun was forced to leave somehow, to fake his death, and since he was wronged, this is his family way to get revenge? Maybe his sister cried at the funeral because she didn't know yet?
- Most of all, those predictive programming VCR's and the way Jonghyun is shining, has a halo around him in the 'Shinin' MV. I think he has seen parts of the MV, if not all of it, so he could have known about this plan. It is not excluded that he himself has arranged this plan to leave gradually, to fake his death and the members knew only at the 'funeral', therefore they didn't have such an emotional reaction? I don't think that he was chosen since debut and that the members knew... how can a human being be so cold about this, if the members knew? Why did Jonghyun sent that letter to a stranger and not to the members? If this was faked, maybe Jonghyun didn't cry during his last concert because he knew it was the last time he appears in public, but he was at peace because now he will live as a normal person? So he didn't cry so that the fans would take his leave easier?
- About predictive programming, isn't it strange how all this thing with 'SHINee is five' started 2 comebacks or so before Jonghyun's death? Like for 1of1, 1and1 and the Japanese album 'Five' (even the lyrics in Get the Treasure: 'this is SHINee 5...'). Anyway, there was a post about gematria which made a lot of sense, but why is it important for the occultist to have Jonghyun REALLY dead? I mean, even with a fake death of him, there would be many fans committing suicide, therefore there is the same effect on the population.
- Someone in the Jonghyun thread (RanFan?) said that there are 3 people which are involved in his 'death' (if it is actually true), including a good friend which betrayed him. In the beginning, I have suspected Taeyeon and IU, but lately, Taeyeon is so depressed and overall she has always given off a similar vibe with Jonghyun's, like they are ?soulmates? not in the romantic sense, but as in Taeyeon seems to become Jonghyun somehow? I don't know how to explain it
I would rather say it was IU. Furthermore, in all SHINee's discography, only the Story of Light (ep. 1,2,3,4) has a weird cover, other albums cover are just photos of the members. Why is Jonghyun associated with that little fox on the album front? What do those colours represent, it seems that they repeated the same image for all albums, just differently, like the phases of the moon
- Again, someone in the Jonghyun thread (RanFan again?) said that Jonghyun has done something very bad. Is it possible that he knew about Burning Sun, since he was friends with Lee Jonghyun of CNBLUE? Why was no one from SM investigated? If not Jonghyun, maybe Minho was involved since being part of Kyu-line (that group with Kyuhyun, Suho, Changmin and Lee Jonghyun) -- sorry about being off-topic, this was an idea that I wanted to discuss for a long time
I don't know what to believe at all, but in any case, I don't think he has committed suicide: either he was killed, either his death was fake. SHINee will not be ever the same, but even if Jonghyun stayed with the group, since that transition in 2018-2019 in Kpop, SHINee's concept would have also become satanic...
Can we analyze every member and search if they actually knew anything?
Sorry for the super long post, I just wanted to get all these thoughts off my chest and see if we could find answers together
