"I think music is story, so singer is a storyteller." - Jonghyun

my friends always ask me why I light up a candle outside my house every birthday I had since 2017... I explained it to them that a favorite musician of mine died on my birthday so that's why it somehow became a habit of mine to do on my birthday, but they never really understood and kind of made fun of me. anyways, I just hope that jonghyun is happy wherever he is now.

If you're here because you are sad, I want to tell you "YOU DID WELL TODAY."

Jonghyun, 6 years have pass but it only feels like yesterday. We never forget about you. We get older. We moved on but we still think about you. You did well!

this is honestly the best thing SM has done in a while

notice how the colors of the lamps is shinee's official color. i miss him so much, he has such a powerful legacy.

Jonghyun is watching from Heaven and smiling to you guys. You did well

happy 8th anniversary to this album. it was my first jonghyun comeback. I will always cherish the songs in this collection more than anything, they’re so beautiful lyrically AND musically. You understand the emotion that flows through his voice even without knowing the language, it makes you emotional. Thank you jonghyun for all you’ve done and congratulations ❤️

And remember, jonghyun not only has to be told the same old words as "rest in peace" or "you did well" he and shawol already know. let's remember jonghyun not as an angel, but as a beautiful and magnificent person who continues to live in the hearts of many. Let's not remember him for that day with tears or sadness, if not, with smiles. thanks to the orchestra for this so beautiful, they had to work hard to keep the memory of jjong in mind, thank you all ♡

This is what we mean when we say Jonghyun is forever alive He lives in his music

this is a safe space for me and my emotions. i can cry, smile, and remember everything about him. i hope he knows how much he helped me get through everyday & to you reading this, you did well today. you’re doing well. you’ll do well tomorrow.

I almost cry listening to this..I feel like I can hear Jonghyun's voice while listening to this..Such a beatiful song...Thank you Jonghyun..

The fact that they started with Clair de Lune and segues into End of a Day is just so beautiful.

this is the proof that jonghyun’s art ir eternal, nothing can ever replace him

Maybe SHINee isn't in their peak now But I wanna say those boys deserve the whole world

They arranged it very nicely, so I can't help and hear Jonghyun's voice over it. He created this magical piece and he is always strongly present in it. No matter what.

“Even though we can't communicate using the same language, we use music instead.” ― Kim Jonghyun STAY WARM MY ANGEL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Is a touching moment and this is beyond of making "Jonghyun merch" "statues" or any of those materialistic things that some people demanded from SM. This proves that SM [like it or not] respected his ART. His music.

We are never going to forget you, Jonghyun

The kind comments here made me cry a bucket.. Guess I really needed to hear some nice words of encouragement. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart and I wish you all the best in this world! 🖤

Jonghyun is real artist, he is unique. I miss you baby but you are shining on the sky and giving the light to us

"I wanted everyone to listen to this song at the end of a day. I wanted to tell you ‘We are the pride of each other’. So listening to my voice, 'You are my pride’, keeping that in your mind… Live a life with confidence.” - Jonghyun You did well, you worked hard. I miss you.

This piece of heaven ends all my playlists. Thank you Jonghyun, thank you Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. You did well.

To whoever reads this... You did so well today. I'm so, so proud of you.

I just want to thank whoever chose wind instruments to play the melody part, because Jonghyun's voice really sound like a wind instrument. Soft, soothing, very "breathy-like" despite being a clear tone. The way his voice vibrated, it sounded like a wind instrument. I also appreciate the intro as Clair de Lune, a nice touch of reminder that he really loved the moon and it is one of his symbols. Thank you for the tribute.

Many many respect to jonghyun, he himself is masterpiece not to mention his works.

I wish it wasn't so hard for you, Blue Night. I'm so sorry. Every day, I wish someone heard you. I wish you heard that you did well at the end of the day. I am so, so sorry. You did not deserve your pain, especially when all you showed was your kindness and warmth. I am so sorry.

I just had a rollercoaster of a day and I clicked on this video. The music is so beautiful and painful and comforting all at the same time. It reminds me so much of Jonghyun's soul which he shared with us thorugh his music. I wish I've known him earlier. But I'm happy to have known him, period. And to you who's listening to this and probably having a hard time, go and cry. But know that as long as the sun rises and a new day is given to us, there is hope....you did well today. Thank you for being alive.

SM, thank you for giving SHAWOLs especially Jonghyun's fans a precious gift.

I’m sure Jonghyun would have loved this arrangement of his song.

Karena setiap alunan musik bisa membawa kita mundur selangkah untuk merasakan kembali kepada siapa kita merindu, mencintai, menyanyangi entah dia masih disisi kita atau telah jauh...

이 음악을 들으러 오신 모든 분들 위로 받길 바래요 오늘도 정말 수고 많았어요 종현님 덕분에 많은 사람들이 감동받고 있어요 좋은 곡 만들어 주셔서, 노래해 주셔서 감사합니다

If Jonghyun had sung this song with an orchestra, I would have cried even more

so are we just going to ignore the fact that the room is full of pearl aqua coloured lights?

My dream is for Jonghyun's music to be played in the main theaters and philharmonic halls of my country! This music is so beautiful! It speaks and sings for itself so much! Jonghyun, thank you and your co-composer for giving us this miracle!

Beautiful music miss u oppa...

SM really are at the forefront of the musical industry, bringing back classical music to the new generation of kpop in the most beautiful way.

jonghyun-ah, do you hear this? your music continues to comfort us. i don’t know why i started crying the moment the video played. i thought i moved on from dec 18, but i guess i really am still healing. thank you for being part of my life. rest well, jjong 💚

it's gonna be that time of the year again. let's stay strong shawols, and always remember that you did well today and every day.

"End of a Day" is such a comfort song for me, and this orchestra version is just so beautiful. Anyone who reads this comment -- even though people you love may have passed away, try to smile for them. Just keep going, one day at a time, and never give up. 💗

Even though we can’t communicate using the same language, we use music instead”. - Kim Jonghyun ❤️❤️❤️❤️

it might be very hard for some people to be able to come and listen to this without their heart breaking a little, but for me what wrenches my chest the most is that it was executed so beautifully, showcasing how jonghyuns artistry knows no limits, his creations have always been healing and comforting and such a song like end of a day, that transmits the feeling of a warmth hug after a tiring day, being played by an orchestra and maintaining its own beautiful color is nothing but the reaffirmation that jonghyun made so many pieces that at their core are pure poetry in notes. i feel so grateful to have his songs and i hope that wherever he may be at he can rest assured that his doings will forever be valued by so many in this world, and that he will always be not only this dedicated and wonderful artist & poet, but also our comfort, smiles and warmth. thank you eternally jonghyun, i love you more than words can say

가사 하나 없는 음악인데 눈물이 날 것 같은건, 정말 좋은 곡이라서겠죠 종현님

I am listening to this song in April 8 2022, Jonghyun’s birthday.

this feels like jonghyun just coming back down just to pat me. thankyou, jonghyun miss you so much!

At this point I don't know if I'm crying tears of joy or sadness after hearing this arrangement, but emotions are being felt

Happy Birthday Jonghyun ♡♡♡

Jonghyun is his music and his music will never fade away. Thank you for your comforting words Jonghyun-ah. You worked hard, you are our pride ♡

Jonghyun is such a one of a kind artist. This is a masterpiece, the song is an all time favourite The team that performed did made it did such a wonderful job. Thank you so much for all you do.

“We can be together in this space, while being on the other side of the earth. We can be together at any time, not just at 12 o'clock. Physical matters certainly remained indifferent in our space. I only hope for this to never cease. I hope this space that belongs to you & me, be the site for anyone to rest in tranquility. I hope for our memories to rise as reminiscences and embrace you like no other. This is dedicated to those who have created our space together. Thank you”

Jonghyun i love you and you worked hard! You did great!

The brighter the light, the brighter the person. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow of a person. Shadows are also part of people... You did well Jonghyun. Fly high 🕊️

Someone else think that wherever he is, Jonghyun is listening to this and loving this version of his song?

'End of a day' is a song that makes me feeling emotional, and the orchestra version of it just hits me really hard. I miss you Jonghyun 🥺

❤❤❤ i hope they also make an orchestra version of selene 6.23

오늘 여러분의 하루의 끝은 어떠셨나요? 고단한 하루를 오늘도 잘 이겨낸 당신. 진짜 멋있다는 걸 아시나요? 수고하셨어요. 감사합니다. 다요.

this was like meeting a friend again after a long time

I believe that they were honoring Jonghyun for this masterpiece through playing Debussy's Clair de Lune (French for "MOONLIGHT") in the beginning of the video. 😭😭😭😭 We miss you so much uri Bling Bling!

We miss you jjong❤

고맙습니다. 감사합니다.. 이렇게 종현이를 추억할 음악이 하나 더 생겨나서 너무 좋습니다. 우리 종현이도 무척이나 행복해 하고 있을꺼같아요.. 종현아.. 너무 고마워.. 좋은 음악들, 행복한 추억들 선물해줘서..

A song that touch every heart and soul. A man that will shine brightly forever. _End of a Day_ - *Kim Jonghyun*

I truly respect SM after this masterpiece, the way they chose Jonghyun’s art mixed with classical music is just pure art

Im here again. My mom suffered from sickness and had 3 major operations to survive. Its been almost 2 months, we are still hoping for her fast recovery. She’s still in the hospital, having little improvements everyday, but how i wish she can go back to her normal life like she always do. I miss her voice. Im glad she’s coming home, not the same as before but i believe she’ll gain her strength back. At the end of the day, my love for her will always remain the same. I miss you mom. Pls be well. 🙏🏼💓

I am watching this on December 18 2022, the 5th anniversary . I am remembering special songs that Jonghyun wrote., and just treasuring him. 🕯🙏”Ever remembered, ever loved”

I couldn’t stop crying. He would be so proud.

Whether you're listening to this today, at the end of a day, at sunrise, in 20 years, it doesn't matter... you did well. The warmth of shawols, I will never forget it. Thank you to SM and to the orchestra for this gift.

언제나 고마워

늘 그자리에

This is so underrated, this is the kind of song that touches your soul. This should be #1 in everywhere, such a jjong masterpiece

From this i noticed that jonghyun still alive in everyone's soul 😢😢😢😢😢

I used to think “why did he do that and there must be a happy days to fight for” (I’m sorry on behalf of my ignorant self) but now I can totally get it... in a while I didn’t even had a normal day to hope for a happy day. Wherever you are Jonghyun you did the absolute well and I hope you are happy, I love u🤍.

You haven't gone anywhere, Jonghyun.

*This song is just so beautiful to hear. Our dearest Jonghyun indeed was, is and always will be a talented artist to us. I’m so proud of him.*

I hope this reaches you, Jonghyun. We miss you, everyday.

shawols let's raise the views this is a beautiful version of jonghyun's song ❤

This song will be played for centuries in Korea. It will become national heritage in music .... sure .... The hymn of all so hard working people ... And Jonghyun will become immortal and eternal

I’m crying not because I’m sad or something, but bc I’m extremely happy and glad to live in the same time as Jonghyun and can appreciate this masterpiece

They played Claire De Lune in the beginning because JongHyun is our moon 😭

I just felt sad. So I came here to listen and the comment section is a blessing. You did well today, whoever you are, whatever you’re doing. No matter how small the task is, you did well! Thanks for cheering me on, I’ll cheer you on too ☺️☺️

💎💎💎💎💎

"I hope for this to never cease." Always together, always shining. Jonghyun, always ♥︎

Yeah I'm not crying or anything. Hear that Jonghyun? None of us will ever forget you are an amazing poet and composer. This new generation of kpoppers know you are a legend even if they don't listen to SM artists. You were beautiful in life, and in your afterlife you still give us all your beauty. See you one day on the Other Side and thank you for all your hard work. You did well. You did amazing.

when the clarinet started playing i started crying. i'm still crying while typing this. this so BEAUTIFUL

jonghyun i love you

Jonghyun’s legacy is simply eternal. No one can ever replace him. His talent is something no one can ever doubt and take away from him and this is a proof of it. His art is simply timeless. I hope you’re listening to this from above, Jonghyunie, and you’re realizing how gifted and talented artist you are 💕

To whomever read this comment, you did well today. Thank you for being here and keep striving. It is okay to feel low, to be sad, to cried, to be exhausted. All of them are valid and matters. You did well.

Hyungjin! It's more sincere than I thought. It's me.^^ Fighting^^

Jonghyun oppa i miss you 😭😭😭

This is what plays when you enter the gates of heaven to finally see him again...

I seriously can hear jjong's voice while listening to this and it fits so perfectly. I hope he can hear this wherever he is. We miss you so much, our angel.

I miss JongHyun hearing this music makes me cry.......I really misss himmmmm😭😭😭😭

Still, the best from sm classic

All aboard the "Can't stop the tears" train. Seriously though, everyone did an excellent job performing- this has to be one of the best things I stayed awake for the release of...

This is a wonderful tribute to Jonghyun. Nothing can ever replace him. He was something different in a very beautiful way As a poet | Artist and as person too.. The same counts for his music which is always touching,inspiring and timeless.

only one thing is missing ...... His beautiful live-singing voice ♥

i listened to this for the first time while reading Jonghyun's letter and I... I think I understood something. I don't know what it is. I wasn't a fan of his, I didn't lsiten to Shinee, but I felt something even the day he passed away. I just hope he's in a better place now.

i cried throughout the whole video until i realized that the texts that the person was sending are the lyrics of the song. made me realize so much stuff

SM along the years had some great ideas and projects but i have to say SM classical is by far the greatest. Thanks SM and Seoul philharmonic orchestra for such project. I feel this is the best way to make people get into classical music as well as getting classical music fans into kpop. As for me a fan of both classical music and kpop, i couldn't be more happier.

my band director agreed to play this at our concert..... We are doing this for him

Coming back because I had a hard day. Thank you for existing Jonghyunie.
