I have nothing else to say but for you to read this...
This is SM Entertainment's final statement on Jonghyun's passing:

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.
We're sorry to deliver such heart-aching, unfortunate news.
On December 18, SHINee member Jonghyun left our side unexpectedly.

He was found unconscious at a residential hotel in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul and was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead on the evening of the 18th.

The deep sorrow cannot be compared to ones of his family who had to let go of their loving son and brother but the employees and artists of SM Entertainment, also in deep shock and sorrow, are offering condolences.

Jonghyun was the best artist who loved music more than anyone and always worked hard for his performance.

It is devastating to deliver such sad news to the fans who gave him great love.
We ask you to refrain from making rumors or assumption based reports in respect of his family who are in deep sorrow from the sudden news.

As his family wished, his funeral will be carried out in the quietest manner with his family members and co-workers.

Jonghyun was a talented singer and was an amazing, kind and strong person.

I'm so sad that such a happy, beautiful person would want to take his life

I'm so sad that such a happy, beautiful person would want to take his life. I hope everyone has been doing alright and that all the Shawols reading this will know that whether we're a Shawol or not, we're all in this together.

Please let's all stop our fan wars and come together to support each other, SHINee and their family by showing respect for Jonghyun on social media by keeping his passing private for the family.

Thank you everyone for loving Jonghyun and SHINee and keep his family and band mates in your hearts and prayers.
