On “Living life for the both of us ~ Jonghyun”
I had spent months contemplating on whether or not I should embark on this project. It was a very difficult decision to make. The main reason was because a large part of the work would be presuming the late Kim Jong Hyun’s thoughts and words, which may be read as being disrespectful. Some people may think that it has a poor taste because of that approach.
Yet, I know very well that many mourning Blingers dream about Jonghyun, even imagine having conversations with him on the daily basis. I know that some still cry out of sadness and anger about his sudden departure. I know that their depression got worse since the day he left. I know that some are tired and want to give up. I know, because I talk to some of them on the web everyday. But, I don’t really know who or where they are to send help.
Therefore, I decided to do this project, using a standpoint of a late-admirer and her imagination to convey "Jonghyun’s wishes". Because of such imagination, this project is listed as Fanfiction.
I wholeheartedly believe that Jong Hyun fought with all he had and that he would want his beloved and his fans to live well. Hence, I hope to remind people of his caring and loving personality. Through this project, I hope to bring Blingers together so people can talk, encourage, and help each other win the battle against depression.
Depression hurts. A person suffering from depression needs the appropriate medication, skilled psychiatrists, good diet and exercise routine, the ability to manage his/her thinking process, and an understanding support group. But not everyone can find this perfect combination where they live. Thus, I hope to create open, informative, and meaningful conversations about depression, in order to raise awareness of depression so everyone in our society can take part in the fight against it.
I pray that Jong Hyun is resting in peace. I pray that none of you will give up. Please know that you are precious!
