Fans in South Korea remember late K-pop star Jonghyun at memorial event

A year has passed since K-pop group SHINee's lead singer Jonghyun took his life while battling depression.

In a memorial event held at Gangnam's S.M. Town Coex Artium on Monday (Dec 17), fans came together to commemorate the late singer.

At the theatre, video clips and writing dedicated to Jonghyun were put on display. Fans also got a glimpse of his keepsakes as well as his solo albums.

The event was organised by the non-profit Shinin foundation, which was set up by his family to help young artists and people struggling with mental health issues.

On the anniversary of Jonghyun's death, SHINee and SMTown posted a tribute video on their social media accounts with the message: "We remember you. We will love you forever."
