Jonghyun promoting Poet | Artist (2017)

Jonghyun (종현) was a Korean pop singer. He was a main vocalist of the group SHINee. In 2010 he joined the project group S.M. THE BALLAD.

On December 18, 2017, he was found unconscious at a rented apartment studio in Cheongdam-dong, Southern Seoul, around 6:10pm KST. He was rushed to Konkuk University Hospital in a state of cardiac arrest but died en route.

A few hours later, his suicide letter was revealed through the internet, confirming that he took his own life.
