Kim So-dam, the older sister of group SHINee’s Jonghyun (1990-2017), is conducting a psychological counseling project for young cultural and artistic figures.

Kim said in a video posted on the official social media of the foundation ‘Light’, which was established by Jonghyun’s family to carry on his will, on the 7th, “This is the first time I’m formally greeting the camera. I’ve been hiding all along and haven’t been able to come up to the surface. I think I can speak well to the public now.”

We planned a psychological counseling project called ‘Youth Trust Up (UP)’ to support healthy artistic activities of young artists and cultural figures.

Kim, who is also the director of Light and the Office, said, “I think you all have stories that you wanted to tell but couldn’t, stories that you suffered alone. I believe that there is a way for us to overcome our struggles together, and that we don’t have to end up alone.” He added, “I hope that we don’t get stuck in that time, but rather come out together and create a time to overcome it.”

SHINee, which celebrates its 16th debut anniversary this year, has been recognized as a team ahead of trends by actively embracing contemporary popular music, as befitting a team that promotes itself as a “contemporary band.”
Jonghyun is the main vocalist and the main member of the team’s musicality. He boasts one of the best singing skills among idols. He started by co-writing the lyrics for SHINee’s mini-title song ‘Romeo’ released in 2009, and has since been reborn as a ‘lyricist-composer idol’. In particular, he released his first solo album in 2015 and established himself as a singer-songwriter. Jonghyun was highly respected by his fellow seniors and juniors as a musician. In addition to IU’s ‘Gloomy Clock’, Lee Hi’s ‘Breathe’, and Kim Ye Rim’s ‘No More’ are some of the songs he composed.

Above all, he was known as an idol with deep thoughts. When he was a radio DJ, his comments were widely circulated. At the end of 2015, he published a novel titled ‘Sanhayeop – Things that flowed away and were let go’ containing his thoughts and thoughts. After Jonghyun passed away, as the procession of people who wanted to remember him forever continued, the publisher requested a reissue, and it was republished in 2021.

‘Light’, which is remembering Jonghyun’s will, is practicing good deeds such as providing creative support funds to music writers.
