November has come and it’s been almost a year since SHINee’s Jonghyun has left us in December last year. A year is not too long but sure feels like forever, especially for the family, fellow members, friends, and fans. During the memorial of Jonghyun, other SM artists, his best friends, including his ex-girlfriend Shin Se-kyung were seen to show their condolence and respect to the second oldest member of SHINee. Media said that Shin Se-kyung stayed until late at night at her ex-boyfriend’s memorial. She came completely dressed in black and her eyes were swollen, according to the people that saw her there.
Well, even though they’ve parted ways a long time ago, we can understand her sadness as someone who was once very close with Jonghyun. Hope everyone who misses him will gain strength and keep praying for him.
