[All] Yesterday was Jonghyun's 36th birthday.

It's already been over 7 years since Jonghyun left.

Jonghyun, who truly loved the stage, left us as if it were a lie.

Every time I see SHINee on stage, Jonghyun comes to mind.

The members always miss him and it breaks my heart that Jonghyun is leaving his seat empty...

He created a song called Sigh that comforted people so much... but why did he leave...

I also think of Lee Hi crying and sighing....... I hope she's happy there...........
