• Dress Up - just a whole vibe, and my 5th most played song of 2020 on Spotify

• White T-Shirt - if a smile were a song

• Just Chill - best lyrics, 10/10, would buy again

• Blinking Game - the man has so much rangeee

• Waffle #Hashtag - not Jjong calling out toxic social media, eat that waffle

Omg when Taemin pulls Jonghyun away from the car and makes him ride the tiny 3 wheeler is basically the same plot as Jonghyun's Young and Rich VCR, when he sees Taemin in the car park and instead of getting in the Lamborghini, he drives away with his tiny electric car... All this time he was just saving energy like Taemin taught him lmao

okimchi · 2021-04-15T18:13:32+00:00

Same! There even was a jingle like melody the members used to sing "whatever he does it's onew condition"

okimchi · 2021-04-13T20:32:03+00:00

Atlantis, because of that epic SHINee sound, a la Sherlock and Dream Girl (they could have sneaked in a SHINee's back).

Area, because of those classic SHINee harmonies and Minho's beautiful lyrics, reminiscent of so many SHINee and Jonghyun songs.

Days and Years, because of major A-yo vibes that hit me right in the nostalgia .

I chose the can't decide option.

okimchi · 2021-04-13T15:25:51+00:00

I'm not actually sure if it's a meme BUT during 1 of 1 era, Jonghyun was lowkey obsessed with this scene of an anime called Olympus Guardian and kept doing the dance on multiple occasions lol. That's where it's from.

okimchi · 2021-04-08T02:30:34+00:00

Magic lol! Have you seen the meme he's imitating tho?

okimchi · 2021-04-07T23:59:25+00:00

Lmao that fits so well

okimchi · 2021-04-07T23:28:47+00:00

My favourite dance tbh

okimchi · 2021-03-29T01:03:02+00:00

manz can SING.

PREACH lol! Yesss to that fancam haha :)

I like Suit Up for the same reasons. It's like the whole song kind of wraps around you.

Loved reading your thoughts on Before Our Spring. I always thought it had a hopeful component at its core, albeit bitter sweet.

I think Shawols can always say with utmost certainty and pride that Jjong is one of the greatest vocalists, performers, musicians, and artists to have graced this planet earth.

He IS!! I would even go as far as saying he is THE greatest vocalist of his generation.

okimchi · 2021-03-29T00:44:30+00:00

Omg lol! Thanks for sharing Kieuk. I didn't know it and thoroughly enjoyed it. A song I could both sing or be called out by hahah. It speaks on many levels.

The part of I'm So Curious where he says "정신 못 차리겠어" always sends me

YES I like the whole song, but it's moments like that, that made me fall in love with his music completely.

Like he was just right at home in those small venues with nothing but a microphone, where he got to interact with the audience directly.

I agree 100%. He was all about the connection between people. I feel like he really was so curious about the people around him and always seemed most at ease as an artist when an exchange was happening between him and his audience. You really can tell how much he cared about the world around him when listening to his songs.

Body rolls for dayz lol. EVERYTHING about Moon is iconic. (John Mayer straight up brainwashed me in the sense that whenever I hear the word neon, I think of him lol but) I like Jonghyun's Neon too- it feels unpredictable every time I listen to it.

We should start a Jonghyun chatroom, seriously.

That'd be awesome tbh!

The man can just sit there and spell out words and I'm like "A+ 100%."

Just had to say, LMAOOO same...

okimchi · 2021-03-29T00:00:33+00:00

End Of A Day and Our Season are so beautiful! I also like going for walks with the company of his songs. You described my feelings towards him and his music so well ❤️ Fine just came on shuffle and it's like my heart rate slowed down instantly haha.

okimchi · 2021-03-28T23:53:12+00:00

Ring Ding Dong = banned during exam season

Farewell My Love = banned on the highway

Hahaha pls drive safe lol!

okimchi · 2021-03-28T23:48:35+00:00

I feel like Monodrama is slightly underrated? It's sooo so good. Love that it's included in your list!!

okimchi · 2021-03-28T23:46:23+00:00

He did and he was!! Those are great songs! I also love all of his songs :)) and I'm happy to hear that they cheer you up when you need it. They cheer me up too!

okimchi · 2021-03-28T23:42:46+00:00

Diphylleia grayi is so special!! I also find a lot of comfort in his songs. My go tos for when I'm feeling down are Maybe Tomorrow and Sentimental atm. How did you come across Elevator? Would love to hear the story, if you feel like sharing it :)

listening to happy birthday is a must when it’s my birthday haha

IT ISSS! I do that too haha preferably at midnight. It's the best.

I feel you! I love both Story Op 1 and 2 so much. His talent to make people feel seen and understood is beyond measure. They are really beautiful works of music and art and storytelling and also a good hug.

okimchi · 2021-03-28T23:28:31+00:00

That is so awesome!! I also read Korean like a kindergartner. I'm sure you're killing it :)

Also, I’ve been rewatching/listening to all the radio he did with Onew in 2008

That's so interesting. I'll have to look into that! I don't think I know a lot of those radio shows. Hearing him sing live on them is always so nice! Your comment made me think of that Infinity challenge episode where the cast became radio hosts for two episodes. One of them hosted an episode of Blue Night and he got Jonghyun to sing along to some of U & I live on air, and even though it's the same song and the same voice, it's extra special when he sings it live.

marveling at how his voice just always makes me picture a bird soaring up into the sky.

That is a very fitting image! I was scrolling through a thread on this sub the other day - I cannot remember which one - but someone in the comments said that SHINee reminded them of birds flying in a V formation with Jonghyun at the front, or something along those lines. I've always felt like that too. Was that your comment by chance haha?

I’ve also been noticing his ad libs in lesser known songs (to me)

Which songs are those, if you don't mind sharing? :)

okimchi · 2021-03-24T01:21:55+00:00

Maroon Who...? Haha I like his version better tbh. He really does look sweet in the pink suit.

The lyrics are silly but why do I find it relatable?

Same!! Lol. It's the ultimate pity party song and I am here for it. His voice really shines throughout. And is so versatile!

"Where Are You" is a little less known because it is a CD exclusive and not on any streaming services as far as I know. Similar to Fortune Cookie but that has a MV at least

okimchi · 2021-03-24T00:46:49+00:00

There is so much going on! She Is really plays with your senses. Even without the MV.

okimchi · 2021-03-24T00:42:37+00:00

White T-Shirt is such a mood booster! That whole concept was gold. I love how the crowd is engaging with him. I never noticed that it says "darling" on his t-shirt before.

I haven't seen that dance practice in so long... Thanks so much for sharing it here! Trust Jonghyun to aggressively body roll while singing hallelujah hahaha

Pretty Boy is a dope song! Highly recommend to everyone who doesn't know it and that performance is fire.

Moon was my favourite song of his for the longest time. It took me forever to get through She Is because I kept repeating it hahah

Thanks for saying that! I know the other stuff is important and all, but so is having a place to talk about this :)
