1. [+607, -19] It's hard for anyone else to understand the difficulty that a person personally faces. It's upsetting to think that we've lost a sensitive, perfectionist young man who blamed himself

2. [+387, -16] I hoped so dearly for it to be a misreport...

3. [+310, -41] Jonghyun-ah, the 3,494 days that I spent with you were the happiest... you'll watch over us Shawol in heaven, right? I'll always support you. Thank you and sorry.

4. [+36, -1] He never needed to be so perfect... there are still so many people who are looking out for him. Jonghyun-ah, don't hurt where you are now.

5. [+28, -8] Ah, what to do... I wasn't a fan but how can we send you away like this... please don't hurt where you are, I hope you're happy there.

1. [+27,245, -196] Thank you for giving us so much great music... you worked hard

2. [+19,522, -163] Wow, this is so shocking...

3. [+17,404, -171] I wished so hard for it to be a misreport

4. [+14,14, -153] This can't make sense...

5. [+4,325, -26] Why couldn't he have waited for someone to tell him that he's been working hard, why couldn't he swear and cry and lash all of his pain out, why would you die, why would you die at your age. I'm not a fan but I remember him as a great singer... please, please be happy where you are. Please don't be in pain there.

6. [+3,051, -23] It's his 10th anniversary this year... he must've suffered so much... without being able to tell anyone... please rest peacefully where you are. Thank you for being with me in my teens..

1. [+1,552, -23] He went through so much emotional suffering... sigh, rest in peace now

2. [+1,502, -23] After seeing Jonghyun, I got the impression that he has a strong musical sense and is a bit of a perfectionist as a musician... There's a certain artistic sense that no amount of popularity, money, and honor can ever fill ㅠㅠ while I find the thirst for art so amazing, it's also upsetting... life really is meaningless...

3. [+1,155, -21] Jonghyun-ah, your music was the best... it was unforgettable

4. [+134, -2] There are so many damn idols who are out there calling themselves singers with their pathetic singing abilities... why you of all people, you who put yourself through so much suffering for your music, why would you leave this world...

5. [+83, -0] I often notice types like him around us... people who only accept perfection, who aren't satisfied even with positive results. They want to do better and blame themselves for only doing so much. They suffer from depression and disappointment and end up doing something they never should have... if only they let themselves go once in a while, ease the pain...

2. [+186, -3] All of us will tell you, Jonghyun-ssi... that you really worked hard and that you were the best. Rest in peace.

3. [+159, -7] Reading all these articles makes me realize that he's an artistic person with a greed for the arts that he could never satisfy... basically like pouring water into a pot with a hole in it...; what a shame, what could there possibly be to say..

4. [+24, -0] Key is overseas right now too... imagine how unbelievable this whole thing must be to him right now

5. [+18, -0] Did he really not have anyone to hold him in a warm hug?
