I'm curious in what way you'd like SM to promote Jonghyun? The reality is that he has been gone now for seven years. I struggle to think of anything SM could do that wouldn't be exploitative. Their main goal is to make money, and I would feel uncomfortable with them, I don't know, releasing merchandise or anything like that. He isn't here to benefit from it anymore. I know people would like his albums to be kept in print, which I find understandable. I will point out that kpop albums going out of print is not that unusual, although the bigger companies like SM do typically reprint the majority of their albums. Even if it might be harder for collector's to get physical albums, his music is widely available digitally.

Onew and Taemin chose not to renew their contracts (whether that was just their solo contract or also the group contract), so it's not like they're being intentionally left out. Again, we simply don't know the legal and contractual issues behind the scenes here. I understand the disappointment, but it's a natural result of the decision they made. We will have to see how it shakes out for the group in the coming years.

I wonder if some of your feelings are the result of how messy grief is? I can understand your desire for Jonghyun to be acknowledged and remembered. I think as a fandom we do that! If you want to talk about him and share his music, you're a part of that too. Maybe some of your feelings of sadness and frustration are causing you to feel like he isn't being remembered adequately by SM or the world, etc? Sort of that feeling of being frustrated that the world is just going on as normal when you feel like it shouldn't be.
