Career

Pre-debut

Jonghyun has been active in music since he was in junior high school. He was in a band and participated in many festivals in his region. In his band, his position was not as a vocalist, but as a bassist.

Before his debut with Shinee, he sang a duet with Zhang Liyin in the song “Wrongly Given Love” for her Chinese album.

SM The Ballad

Main article: SM The Ballad

In November 2010, it was revealed by SM Entertainment that Jonghyun, along with TRAX’s Jay, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, and rookie singer, Jino, had formed a project group, SM The Ballad, under their label. The group focuses more on ballad rather than pop and R&B themes.[3] The group released their debut album, "Miss You", on November 29, 2010. They debuted on November 28, 2010 on SBS's Inkigayo with their lead single, "Miss You." They also promoted another single from the album, "Hot Times."

Solo

In October 2010, Jonghyun was one of twenty idols from various South Korean groups that recorded the song, "Let's Go," for the purpose of increasing public participation in the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit. He provided vocals along with label-mates Sungmin, Seohyun and Luna.[4]

In June 2011, Jonghyun recorded a song titled "So Goodbye" for drama series City Hunter. The song for City Hunter OST Part 2 was released on June 3, 2011.

Composing Talent

Jonghyun has written lyrics for songs for three of Shinee's albums, such as "Juliette" in 2nd mini album Romeo, "Obsession" and part of "Up & Down" in 2nd studio album Lucifer.

In the 4th mini album Sherlock, Jonghyun had written two songs which are ‘Honesty’ and 'Alarm Clock'. The song 'Honesty' is written to give thanks to their fans who have stayed by their side with unchanging love until now. The other song, ‘Alarm Clock’ which is also co-written with fellow member Minho, is about wishing to wake up from a nightmare of past break-up. [5]

Television shows

Jonghyun appeared on television shows such as Idol Maknae Rebellion as a guest star alongside his Shinee group-mates Taemin, Onew and Key in two episodes.

On 6 November 2009, label mate Yesung of Super Junior made a surprise appearance on KBS' Music Bank with SHINee in place of Jonghyun, who was recovering from influenza, in a performance of "Ring Ding Dong".[6] Jonghyun was also a cast member in KBS's Immortal Song 2 for two episodes with fellow label-mate Yesung.

Personal life

Jonghyun sustained ligament injuries to his left ankle after he was mobbed by excited fans following Shinee's performance at the Korea-Indonesia Sharing Friendship Concert on October 12, 2010 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Immediately upon arriving back home in Seoul, Jonghyun went to the hospital where he received a minor cast to protect his ankle. However, SM Entertainment stated that his injury was not serious and that he and the rest of Shinee would continue to promote their upcoming single "Hello" without problems. [7]

On November 15, 2010 following Jonghyun's absence from an event in which Shinee performed, honoring the 20th Anniversary of SBS, SM Entertainment revealed that Jonghyun had been suffering constant pains in his ankle due to his ligament injuries the previous month. Because of this SM Entertainment announced that they would "minimize intense choreography [for Jonghyun] in performances".[8] As a result, Jonghyun was unable to dance alongside his fellow group members for several months.[9]

On October 20, 2010, Jonghyun and actress Shin Se-kyung were spotted dating by a local news outlet; their agencies confirmed the relationship on October 26th.[10][11][12] After nine months of dating, Shin and Jonghyun broke up in June 2011, citing their busy schedules.[13][14]

Jonghyun received surgery to his left ankle at a hospital in Seoul on January 17, 2011 to repair the damage done in October 2010. Previously his ankle injury was thought to be minor but after further examination it was deemed to require surgery. Due to being in recovery, Jonghyun was unable to perform alongside his fellow Shinee group members at the 20th Seoul Music Awards on January 20, 2011. The news of his surgery was delayed in being reported to the media.[15] Because of the surgery, Jonghyun's absence from group dances and choreography continued for several more months before his ankle was deemed strong enough to cope with his Shinee's choreography and activities.
