I have no idea how they are holding it together but I never cease to be amazed by their strength ;;;; I’m so very sad but so very proud. I love them so much. They will be so emotionally exhausted by the end of this but I hope they know how well they are doing and how much we love them ;;; 💕
[Minho] “As we and Jonghyun had promised with you all, whenever we get exhausted and want to give up, whenever our hearts get weak and we want to run away, we will remember that your hands give us the most strength and we will keep singing for you all.“
[Key] “This is what Jonghyun would have wanted for us, and I believe that keeping our promise to fans and showing everyone a great performance is the most SHINee-like thing for us to do.”
[Onew] “Jonghyun, who will forever be a member of SHINee, will always be in our hearts and he will also be in fans’ hearts forever, so nothing will change.“
[Taemin] “When I look back at the times I was most at peace and happiest, it was when I was with the members.. and when I was with fans. Thus, I had all the more affection for the name of SHINee and our team members, so I didn’t want to give up even more.”

they performed a second new song during the encore – also featuring jonghyun’s voice. they all wore white and, as can be seen above, left an empty mic stand for jonghyun in the middle – where he usually would have stood. they put a rose (or roses) on the empty mic stand. they also had roses pinned to their chests. after the song finished they all left their roses on the standing microphone and left the stage, ending the concert. they all cried during the performance.
