Rest In Peace, Jonghyun
You brought so much joy and kindness to many people and you will be missed.
To anyone who is reading this, please talk to someone if you’re ever in that dark and painful place. There is a person out there who understands and has been where you are in that moment, I promise. Please don’t give up.
At the end of the day, whether your faves won an award or not, they still work hard and awards are in no way validate their talents and hard work ethic and all that? They have made it so far already in their careers and we should be PROUD of these groups and what they have accomplished. Leave them alone. Let them be.
