A contribution from my wife for this #KpopMonday #WantUBack cuz in this house we both adore and miss him

Jonghyun - Y Si Fuera Ella https://youtu.be/0lSSIQ4lE78
cw: flashing concert lights, hanky warning, gunshot/blood (fake)

This is also a good song to point to about how translation is a series of choices - what was arguably more general in Spanish became specific in Korean due to Jonghyun's choices.

Ok, ok, I did indeed promise some happier songs for this #KpopMonday #WantUBack, so let's get to that, shall we?

Jonghyun - Shinin' https://youtu.be/J41qe-TM1DY
cw: lens flares, background flashing, surrealism

I'm resisting just posting all of Jjong's MVs, just for the record. ;)

Played myself on this one...

Jinjin (ASTRO) - Fly (duet with Moonbin (ASTRO)) - https://youtu.be/9d9q-uTNKa4
cw: lens flares, hanky warning

This is maybe stretching the #WantUBack theme a wee bit, but Jinjin's Jin Lab has been a huge part of my healing process and trying to get to where I can forgive Binnie for his choices. But the video still makes me cry.

Next on this fine #KpopMonday #WantUBack ... oh, I'm not done being mean yet, am I?

SULLI - Goblin https://youtu.be/P5uE7KDkDFE
cw: mental illness, flashing lights

Sulli deserved so much better then what knets did to her. Anyone would, did, does.

Are you crying yet? No? I can fix that!

Jonghyun - Lonely (feat. Taeyeon) https://youtu.be/NpTpEsE9G8c
cw: hanky warning, implied SI, lens flares, drinking

We can't have a #KpopMonday #WantUBack without Jonghyun, even if it still hurts.

But wait, there's more!

Realslow (Wheesung) - Breaking Down https://youtu.be/Y_6VfzBl7yk
cw: flashing (lightning, darkness), hanky warning

From 2019, before he reverted back to his given name. Even more brokenhearted than the last one.

Continuing #KpopMonday #WantUBack, now with actual #Kpop!

Wheesung - Night And Day https://youtu.be/napCk8ZVlpw
cw: shaky cam

A broken hearts song because I'm on a mission to break all the hearts?

Oh y'all didn't think I was going to just SKIP this #PopMonday #WantUBack, did you? Time to break all our hearts!

Kagrra, - Shiroi Uso https://youtu.be/WrzAL7rO1p0
cw: hospitalization, sparkling/twinkling effects, death imagery/implied MCD

Annoyingly, the official PSC uploads have gone MIA, so we're left w. this smushed bootleg.

Picking just one Kagrra song is always a nightmare, but btwn the "death" of the band & the actual death of Isshi, this felt most appropriate.
