“Let's see each other again.
We’ll soon meet again.
You know, I too, lie quite a bit but when it comes to important things I can't lie...
That's why my heart is sincere right now.
We'll see each other again.”

“Right now, it’s going to be difficult. It’s disappointing and tears flow, but we will definitely meet again. I hope that time will come soon. That time, we will greet each other with joy and that will be even greater than the feelings of the present.”

“Taemin always works hard. You can see fire in his eyes. That’s all good with work, but sometimes I worry you might get stressed. I wanna say not as another member, but as your old friend, I wish you the best and hope that you recharge to do what you like.”

“(Breathe) is a song I wrote after I gathered words (of comfort that) I thought of. It seems that there are many people who are having a hard time and are tired, so it would be good if you will be comforted by listening to this song.”

“Rather than saying ‘I love you’, ‘I miss you’ feels more affectionate but sad. Because I miss you, I can’t sleep. Because I miss you, I am waiting. Because I miss you, I shed tears. We’ve never met before but why am I missing you like this?”

“I am very sentimental and I have no intentions of hiding that either. There is a saying that ‘Men only cry three times in their lifetime’. But apparently I asked back ever since I was young. ‘Why can’t men cry? Are men not a person?’”

“Remember SHINee is always one. Whatever we do derives from that, so I had that in mind. I’ll leave it up to your interpretations. We always love to leave things open & see what our fans can come up with.”

“Most vocalists don’t like their own voices very much. Some of them receive training to change their voices. But I can at least assure you I can make whoever listens to my singing recognize it like 'Ah, this is SHINee Jonghyun'. I think I have my own distinct color.”

“Because Onew hyung is too kind, he has a very fragile heart and doesn’t know how to express his inner feelings well. But he is very understanding of us... He really has very strong leadership qualities and I think that he really has the air of an amazing leader.”

fun fact: Jjong was always a spoiler king, especially on Blue Night and shawols would often rely on him for hints and info for upcoming SHINee/solo comebacks 😆💙

“I mentioned last time that if you see me and shout, 'I listen to Blue Night', I'll give you a big hug. But there's a condition. Only when there's not many people around. I'll hug you if you want. If you don't like it, then I'll shake hands with you.”

“It’s hard to look at oneself objectively. Because I meet myself everyday. At the end of the year, we greet people around us with ‘you’ve worked hard’ right? To myself personally, I wonder how I can say warm words to myself.”

“I think the words, 'You are my pride' sound really nice. I thought that even while writing the lyrics. Actually, I wrote it to give everyone a comfort, but I was thinking about who gives me a comfort and what gives me a comfort the most.”

“I actually don’t wish things that much from our fans. Coming to greet me in airport, sending me gifts, buying multiple copies of our CDs, it’s all thankful, but you don’t have to do it. I just hope you can enjoy happily with SHINee.”

“Whenever I told my members, ‘I’ve decided to step down from Blue Night and I’ve told Blue Night family’ and since I’m going to be substituted, Minho-goon always told me, ‘Rest a little and make a comeback.’ He likes Blue Night that much.”

“I'm someone who is a little gloomy. I'm someone who shows this side of myself rather than to hide it and I think that's okay. If there are some people who are bright and chirpy then, surely, there are people who are gloomy and melancholic too.”

“The relationship between artist and fans is not simply only something just beautiful. We expect, disappoint, impress, get angry with each other… It’s a relationship of a person to person that goes through these emotions several times.”

(about Déjà-Boo)
“heh that's my song. I made a word play on the title. It's supposed to be déjà vu but I wrote it as déjà boo, déjà as in déjà in French, which means already. & Boo which is a nickname you call someone you love. So it means ‘you're already mine’"
