South Korean boy group SHINee member Kim Jong-hyun reportedly committed suicide by burning charcoal in a serviced apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul on the 18th. He was only 27 years old. He just finished his solo concert last week. As soon as the news broke out, SM Entertainment, his agency, also confirmed with grief: "Jong Hyun has left us."
and his friends in the circle also expressed their condolences on the public platform, Lu Han and Huang Zitao also expressed their heartache on Weibo, calling him "the best lead singer". On the 19th, in addition to EXO Sehun, SJ Heechul, Siwon, and even Kyuhyun, Sungmin, who had not appeared for a long time, all came to the scene to mourn. Jin Jonghyun's only public girlfriend Shin Segyung also appeared in the hall.
Kim Jong-hyun said in the early days of his debut that "the ideal type is Shin Se-kyung", and the two were photographed dating privately near Samseong-dong in 2010, and then they made a public relationship. They were also the first active idol under SM Entertainment to have a public relationship. However, the two, who were both young at the time, were ultimately no match for the pressure and vision of the outside world, and they broke up after 8 months of dating. Since then, Jong Hyun has never made a public relationship.
It wasn't until 2014 that Jong Hyun had an affair with actress Lee Yoo Phae again, but Jong Hyun immediately denied the relationship, saying that the two were just friends.
