I’ve heard a lot of rumours.
Rumours about how SHINee are growing distant. Rumours that certain members are growing cocky and wanting more spotlight for themselves. Rumours that a particular member has acquired depression due to the pressures of the industry. Rumours of being disbanded.
I remember the night I found these rumours. I stayed up that night crawled in bed crying my eyes out while watching videos where people speculated bullying within the group and reading these horrible stories that I should never have read. I didn’t know how to feel to be honest. Mad. Terrified. Insulted. Completely and utterly heart broken. I’m not going to lie. These rumours affected me terribly. How could the single group that meant the entire world to me be crumbling in front of my eyes? It feels like I only just started dedicating my heart and soul to these five boys, and in one night all of that was being put to the test.
But you know what. As a Shawol I can’t let these rumours get to me. These five boys are more than just friends. They’re family. Even if some of the speculation might be somewhat true, they are strong enough to withstand it. For the period of time that I doubted you boys, I apologize with all my heart. I will continue to support you through the ups, through the downs, through every comeback you’ve yet to do and through anything that comes your way. The strongest dancers in the industry, the most talented singers, the funniest on variety and the most warm hearted boys I know. 
The SHINee that you were, the SHINee that you still are, and the SHINee you will always be. You five amazing men are the SHINee I fell in love with, and I’ll be with you 100% of the way.
