“I’d choose ‘Diphylleia Grayi’ by my fellow SHINee member, Jonghyun. When I first heard that song, I remember thinking, ‘He’s such an incredible artist.’ It gave me so much inspiration.”
“Instead of staying stagnant in one place, I feel like constantly taking on new challenges is my true calling as an artist.”

my dearest star seonghwa, although im not entirely sure what happened and what is hurting your dear heart, but please take your time to seek out the peace that you need.
you are so loved by us. every single person who is blessed to be able to know and love you. ❤️
when asked what artist he would want to share the stage with, taemin said jonghyun 🥺😭😭😭😭 “he would’ve been such a great artist and i would’ve loved to share the stage with him. i respect him so much!”
oh taemin, he’s so so proud of you 🥺🫂❤️
I’ll always be infinitely grateful for the music and everything Ian has shared with us over the years. Honestly, I don’t care about albums or concerts right now. I just want him to be okay. His music and everything he represents found me when I needed it the most,
i feel so broken right now. i always try to stay strong,clear headed,grounded but im an empath at the core of my soul and i can’t shut off what i feel and maybe,deep down,i don’t even want to. cause feeling,even when it hurts,is a form of honesty toward yourself and toward others.
i won’t say everything will be okay. i don’t know that and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise.
i ust sat there,listening, feeling something tighten inside my chest cause i’ve always seen ian as a human being before anything else,before the artist,before the work. i’ve always seen the person behind every extraordinary thing he’s created,the vulnerability,the care,the soul he poured into it. and maybe that’s exactly why this hurts so much. it’s not the pain of a fan it’s the pain of recognizing something genuine in another human being and watching them struggle.
i feel powerless and i know it’s not up to me,there’s nothing concrete i can do. but with everything i have,i hope ian finds his peace. in whatever way,through whatever path. that he can find himself again or build a version of himself he can finally be at rest with. i admire him with every single particle of my existence. i genuinely mean that. he has shaped who i am in ways i can’t fully put into words,without him,i wouldn’t be the person standing here today. and that’s not something i say lightly.
i am so proud of him. not just of what he creates,but of who he is. of the courage it takes to show up,to pour yourself into something,to let people see you,really see you. that takes a kind of strength most people will never fully understand.
and we see it. hundreds of us do. we are here and we are not going anywhere no matter what. through the uncertainty,through the silence,through whatever comes next.
we are still here.
we want to see you shine ian,the way you’ve always made us shine without even realizing it. the way you light something up in people just by being authentically,unapologetically yourself,that gift is real,YOU are real. and you matter so deeply to so many of us.
we don’t need anything from you except for you to be okay. we want you to exist as whoever you want to be,freely,fully,without having to shrink yourself or carry more than you can hold.
you’ve given us so much. now please, give yourself permission to rest,to heal,to figure it out at your own pace.
we love you. we’re proud of you. stay strong.
you’ll find a way,there’s always a way,i trust you. @DPRIAN_ take care❤️🩹
seeing all of the seonghwa tweets every june genuinely makes me so proud. i am a firm believer that no one owes us explicit confirmation of queerness (though the people who choose to make that statement at the cost of their safety are treasures) but you can tell that he does as much as he can, within the limits of his own comfort and boundaries and even amidst the turmoil of figuring himself out, to push back against social / industry standards- and it really does works out to a lot. the music video for skin, especially, felt like an incredible triumph in that sense, particularly with the knowledge that the song itself had to be heavily modified despite his (and hongjoong and balm and maddox’s) best efforts. with the world how it is, to know that he was brave AND supported enough by the members and everyone else around him to finally put it out with the messaging he’d originally envisioned is just… it makes my heart soar.
i will always be very grateful to him and to the members for, as he says, “giving him the courage to show it [this side of himself to us]” and i hope that those of us who benefit from his bravery and see him will always be able to give him a safe space in return 🩶
