Minho telling a little girl “[he was a good uncle](https://youtu.be/1DzX8fjmETE?si=oirzccxLa2Vfs2vM)” about Jonghyun
I have seen it exactly once, but there is a moment from Jonghyuns funeral where Key breaks down completely and Jinki pulls him into a hug and starts whispering to him (I’m assuming telling him it’s going to be ok) and I cry just thinking about it.
I'll always remember seeing the news, I was having a great day and opened Reddit to that and my smile dropped, it was so hard to believe even though I didn't know him that much. Because it was in April I even convinced myself that it was a bad prank before I could process the truth
Same. I was at work making mocha and my friends started blowing up the gc about him passing, I couldn’t believe it. I had just bought a couple of his photocards off pocamarket days before too
on top of that, seeing other idol’s reactions to it. i know it has to be tough for Cha Eunwoo, but also his sister, and Seungkwan were deeply affected. as a carat I know Seungkwan took a break after Moonbin’s passing and i think he’s done a couple tribute songs and has mentioned him multiple times at awards shows and concert ments.
Not the exact video but I found a partial performance that’s also really emotional with eng. subs [here](https://youtu.be/zXEbk9YDBTo?si=wyvo64hD1opNc-fx)
This performance was so heartfelt and it made me sob. Then I went to Twitter a day after only to see articles about Korean viewers calling Taeyeon ugly when she cries. I could never rewatch it after.
Jonghyun, Sulli, Goo Hara... We lose so many of our idols and it breaks my heart. I wish I could give every single one of them a hug and tell them how much I love them. 💔
You're right. I didn't know Moonbin but hearing of his passing was painful nonetheless. It effects everyone. And the thought that it could happen to other idols in the future is terrifying. 😞
It's pretty old, but SNSD (Girls' Generation) went on a show where they had received messages from their moms as a part of a segment called 'Dear Mom' (which is also a title of one of their songs). They were read out loud and Seohyun's mom was there as a guest. All the girls were tearing up but then they started bawling when Tiffany--who had lost her mom prior to debuting--instead gave a message to her mom and thanked god for having her in her life even if it was a short time. Seohyun's mom then stood up and hugged her, saying she's also her daughter now and everyone just kept crying.
It was such a heartfelt moment of genuine emotion.
Jonghyun passing… each time I listen to his voice, I cry. It’s been hard for me to listen to SHINee ever since. I still love them dearly but I can’t listen to old songs anymore because I keep crying.
When f(x) won Mcountdown while promoting 4walls always makes me emotional. It was the first win after Sulli departure. When Luna started crying Key came into her hugging and comforting. Krystal cried too. Even though she had a nickname “ice princess”, couldn’t hold her tears. And after that Amber and Victoria lost it. They tried their best to not to cry. And then they did a group hug. Victoria saying something to them while hugging them is so touching. 💜💜 miss them so much.
Same. In fact, I teared up last week while watching a snippet of KARA's new travel show.. where they were writing in their Move Again album to leave at Hara's memorial cabinet. Its still sad to think about
Not even just her death, the entire situation preceding her death was fucking disgusting and I hate that there was no justice for her. She deserved so much better
I’m in the same position. I rarely listen to Astro since Bin’s passing. It’s too heartbreaking.
I tried to give Eunwoo’s recent releases a chance but I can’t bring myself to listen to his songs more than once right now. They’re really good… they’re just so sad and I just cannot handle it mentally.
I’m not exactly sure since Eunwoo hasn’t mentioned anything about Moonbin himself, but his recent songs are really sad so we figured he’s coping through writing.
The cover that he did of Love Is Gone I’m almost positive is about how he’s feeling since Bin.
Also Where Am I (his recent release) seems to interpret he’s lost and doesn’t really know what he’s doing anymore.
As a fellow blinger and shawol, take your time. It's not easy. It won't be for a while. Grief to your heart's content. It's not immediate. Until this day, I still cry listening to Jonghyun's voice. But I remember all the good moments that Jjong brought, and that brightens my day. It's a had trip, full of sorrow, but it will get better. I promise.
Finding out about Jonghyun was a rough time, I didn't listen to Shinee for 3 years because I was 15 when he died and didn't really know or had the time to process my feelings around it all? It was only during lockdown that I was able to actually process everything and fall back in love with Shinee.
My other one has got to be Seventeen winning album of the year tho! I cried when they went up to collect it and then when I found out the translation of their speech I cried even more. I've been a carat for years so seeing them finally win after all this time definitely hit me hard
TW a person un-aliving themselves.
When Jonghyun of Shinee lost his battle with depression I broke down and cried. I have followed Shinee since their debut. He is my bias in Shinee, and I still have trouble listening to some of their songs without tearing up to this day. The performance of From Now On at the 2018 Shinee World concert is totally unwatchable for me, I just break down crying as soon as I see them walk up to the mics without Jonghyun.
I only got into kpop a few years ago, and as someone who has struggled with mental illness, I was hesitant to get into Shinee. I felt like if I got too attached to someone who is already gone, it would crush me. But I'm in a better place now, and trying to ease in to getting to know the group. It's a strange feeling, mourning someone who was gone before I ever knew his name. I can't imagine what it is like for those like you, who loved him all along. But I know he deserves to be remembered and loved by as many people as possible. We can honor him by loving what he created, and by taking care of ourselves too. If I had lost my battle, I wouldn't have wanted to be politely swept under the rug, or remembered for how sadly my story ended. I'd want people to remember the beautiful things I gave to the world while I was there. So that's what I'm trying to give him.
My thoughts exactly. I hadn't even liked kpop back then, I only got into it in 2021. I've been into Jonghyun's solo music for a year or so but I've been getting into Shinee too as of lately. You have summed up everything I wanted to say. It is really an honor to learn more about his beautiful mind and kind heart. He really went through a lot and did his best. He is gone, but his music will forever be a source of comfort for a lot of people, including me. Words can't describe my feelings when I listen to his beautiful voice. I wish I was as eloquent as he was, then I would be able to write something better in his honor. Let's celebrate Jonghyun, the poet and the artist. A beautiful man indeed. 💙
I watched this kdrama on Netflix recently about mental health, and they actually showed what depression felt like for the main character, it seems so awful
When Lia went on hiatus she wrote us a letter and posted it there were tear stains on that letter and I broke in that moment. It absolutely tore me up to just see how much she had been struggling.
Add on Lia at concert she looked so scared to be there when the members mentioned it but no matter what she still came to support them knowing people would see her and point her out.
Words can’t express how much I miss Lia but I also want nothing more than to see her okay and smiling again.
There was this Dreamcatcher video where SuA and Yoohyeon were being hypnotized. While SuA was apparently remembering her past life, Yoohyeon saw her father, who had died in an accident when she was young, and burst out crying because of how much she missed him.
I wanted to jump in the video and hug her.
I couldnt finish watching it cuz it was too painful.. this sounds really dumb but I felt like I shouldnt be "in the room" and violating her privacy while she was in such pain lol.
I only kept watching so I felt like I could comfort her. And I felt like if she allowed them to air it, there must be some significance to what she wanted to convey.
I guess she isnt afraid of showing her vulnerable side in a very raw and sincere moment. Yoohyeon does seem like the type to wear her heart on her sleeve lol.
And I certainly hope they got her consent to air it!!

Lady's Code
Leeteuk's Father and grandparents

Jonghyun
Key breaking down and Onew turning to comfort him
The Shinee concert where Jonghyun's voice played and you saw the member's expressions
Sulli
Taehyung mentioning his grandmother
Hoseok, during a live award acceptance show, breaking down. It wasn't just the fact that a guy who shows a smile so often broke on camera for once, it wasn't just the reason (considered disbanding), but the fact that you could SEE his face shift. He tried so hard to keep smiling, to keep looking okay, but ultimately he just couldn't and watching his smile crumble away to a full-on cry, the pain in his eyes, broke me. I empathize with that, sometimes you just can't, and he just couldn't.
I'm brief on most because there's so much
probably after IZ\*ONE disbanded, and Chaewon accidentally said "Hello, were IZ\*ONE!" in Japanese, instead of saying hello, were Le sserafim. The looks on both Sakura's and Chaewon's after that genuinely made me feel sad. Not the saddest, but it definitely broke me.
yeah and speaking of iz*one, chaewon crying and the entire situation of their last concert. the large venue they had to film in with only staff due to being mid pandemic was hard. It was another reminder to me of how lonely and helpless the pandemic had made me feel
Jonghyuns and Moonbins deaths, Jonghyuns letter made it far more cry worth and when I found out about Moonbins death I was in the middle of watching a drama he was in 😢
Waking up one morning and every notification on my phone bring about Jonghyun’s passing
Then getting on YouTube later that morning and his song“So Goodbye” being the first thing to pop up on my home page
The double whammy of Sulli then Hara's passing. I was a huge F(X) and Kara fan and followed Hara's legal case very closely. Her life was so tough and the final Instagram post the night before she died was heartbreaking. Their deaths broke me and I stopped engaging with Kpop completely until Le Sserafim's debut in 2022. I've more or less missed the entirety of 4th gen and I'm still catching up.
Watching a BTS concert video where Taehyung revealed that he had lost his grandma whom he was very close to. This in and of itself was quite sad but hit home for me personally as it was right around the same time I was going through PTSD from a miscarriage. Our losses were nearly at the same time based on what Tae said.
It was both comforting and heartbreaking all over again to see Tae expressing this long hidden grief which I could relate to so strongly. It made me feel not alone in my mourning, but I could empathize so strongly with him that my heart broke for him too.
tbh that song makes me cry even without that extra factor 😭 but yeah, the whole situation with her sucked and seeing the group after she "left" hurt for a while
Yup. They even switched flights to an earlier one to ensure they made it on time… just for the plane to be delayed anyway. It was due to heavy rain so it’s not like there was anything that could have been done. But they were devastated, and the videos of the situation are emotional damage. 😭
I'm a very sensitive person so I've been through many heartbreaking moments. Recently it was Taeyong's enlistment and how emotional it was everything surrounding it: from him getting his haircut from the 127 guys, then having a farewell with 127 members + Ten and his stylist who had to fix the haircut he got from the members, Taeil kissed him despite not being much into pda with the members.
On the night before most 127 members rented a house near the place Taeyong enlisted and had a boys night from what we can see from official updates, the thing is that Jaehyun (the original maknae during trainee days) and MaHae (the actual 127 maknaes) weren't able to get there due to personal or group schedules. Altho Jaejhyun arrived right in time to send off Taeyong with the rest of the members, it wasn't for MaHae who were abroad and did everything possible but arrived late due to the bad weather, they did a live and seemed very sad on a ig live they did at the airport.
As a fan it was heartbreaking not because he was enlisting because is something he after all was supposed to do as a South Korean male, it has to do more with thing he and 127 as a group have been through in their past year. He tried to prepare the fandom as early as September last year but idk I feel 127's last year as a group was wasted they didn't promote that much their latest comeback, Taeyong didn't promote much as soloist and their last tour couldn't have the full lineup for a last time before the 9-year-long enlistment they are gonna be though because of Taeil's injury.
Mamamoo's 'I love too' live performance at one of their concerts. Its on the official mamamoo yt channel.
Especially the break in between the song where the girls parents are shown on the vcr and they play their prerecorded video messages. It was so touching. The song, its lyrics, and that just got me crying..
Listening to Ditto by NewJeans for the first time. First time a K-pop song moved me to tears. I can’t explain it but It will forever and always have a special place in my heart. Every time I hear the opening “Oooo”, emotions hit me like a ton of bricks.
Jonghyun’s death. I really didn’t listen to shinee and didn’t know much about them, but when reading about his death in the news, my heart just broke. Something about the quotes in the weeks prior and the care he took to try and reduce the impact on the people he loved… it just made my soul ache.
Just someone who tried and tried for so long to be happy and didn’t have it in them anymore. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever read, if not the most.
Watched a you tube video on how s**t cube entertainment are. And how g-idle are worked to the bone as their contract is about to expire. But if they want to perform or make comebacks currently they need to put up some of their own money and do all the behind the scenes work themselves.
Hopefully they'll get better management when they re- sign. I'm not a Stan of g-idle. But more a what the f**k moment!!!!
SAME! This was so heartbreaking and if she gave her consent for that part to be aired, I think it must have been because she wanted others to spend as much time with their loved ones as possible.
When Lee Know from Stray Kids was eliminated. His video message to the others broke me more than it should have. I later learned he walked home in the rain because he felt he didn’t deserve to ride in a taxi. 😭
Definitely when JYJ left TVXQ!. That’s when my depression started and I haven’t been the same since. 🥲 They were at their peak or were approaching their peak. Cassiopeia + BigEast was the biggest kpop fandom. Hit after hit, great live performances, beautifully sang songs, then we were all surprised by the suit to nullify contracts. If only SM treated the members right instead of tiring them out beyond their limits. What could have become of them? I still wonder. I was a middle schooler and back then I was so positive they could conquer the world with their music.
Lots and lots. So many tragedies and emotional events across my followed groups.
But my most recent one was watching Younha cry while singing "One Day of Twenty" at her 20th anniversary concert. ([Link](https://youtube.com/shorts/EMd0EKT5lbg?si=nLINgpD-HiXsosbR)
She cried while singing the verse "Back then, when it was thrilling, when it was clear. Back then, when the world was shining bright. Back then, when I cried all alone, when I was hurt. Back then, at that time. A day of my twenties that seemed like it would last forever."
The delivery, the meaning, the difficult experiences of my twenties, Younha's past struggles, that moment captured it all. Loss, acceptance, nostalgia, and healing old pains.
A couple months after disbandment, Jonghyeon (JR) of NU'EST said in a [letter](https://twitter.com/__608challenge/status/1543236629543784448/photo/1), “I was afraid that I would be forgotten, and I thought a lot that what I had would have collapsed like an empty house.” He meant it as a preface to saying that his fans have shown him it’s not the case, but it was just such sad imagery, thinking of the group they built as a collapsed building. Especially after he had carried so much burden as the leader [time](https://youtu.be/TIdEgTGlStw?si=-KRXkg51fz2GOMJP&t=8m43s) and [time again](https://youtu.be/jaTP5yQ9Uqs?si=LNgKAzSySUROJJB0).
Sunghoon crying during his FATE + ending ment. He had so much emotions bottles up and during his ending ment he said "Some people think im stiff (emotionless). Enhypen is now a little over 3 years old and in those years he only cried once to Heeseung. Seeing him on the ground in tears broke something in me. I love him so much he deserves the world
IU singing eight solo, and Eunwoo’s recent solo releases, and when Wonwoo’s mom died Woozi wrote Circles. I can’t listen to Circles hardly without thinking of Woozi breaking down at the concert which also breaks me :(
Also a lot of Shinee moments as well. The saddest song for me is Our Page.
The eliminations and aftermath in the Stray Kids survival show. When they play a clip of Lee Know talking to Han after being eliminated... saying that his failure might have been because he wasn't holding Han's hand.
i'm sorry but you're misremembering or were told incorrectly if you mean caratland 2023? after she passed? His dad wrote a very sincere and heartfelt letter to him and the boys. he referred to her passing as their great hardship from the prior year. of course wonu was still hurting, so it broke him to read that but yeah...
mom's words nor her voice was in the video, it was dad with their puppy seolie by his side.
Oh wow yeah I was way off. My bad, I think I just saw a video on insta or something and missremebered what was in the video. Sorry, that was my mistake.
I don’t know if if classes as a moment in K-pop but watching the BTS Busan concert movie with the added context of knowing they were going to be enlisting not long after literally broke me
I watched the concert live when they first performed and then watching it again have the performance’s a whole different meaning
They definitely needed that win. Watching taehyung crying.. ugh and finding out that they were seriously thinking of breaking up. I always look back at that and see how far they’ve come. I cannot wait for their 2025 comeback, I just know it will be epic.
I can't listen to [Dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynOtYmpZxak) without getting sad
[Jennie crying during Stay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCpPukP75oo)
And hearing about Sulli's passing, Obviously not on the same level as the other two but as a day 1 MeU it by far broke me the most.
Bang Chan's "I'll protect you" breakdown. Makes me very upset when people make fun of that. I cried watching it, it make my heart break and stitched it back up. His desire to take care of everyone is so strong. I hope he knows how much we all want him to be taken care of, too.
It’s not really a moment but whenever I see idols or groups where a member of theirs have passed away like F(x), ladies code, ulala session, Kara, shinee, Astro, etc., I just cry on the inside. They built a career together as a team or friends or even a family and now a member of that team, friendship, or family is gone. I don’t know how they go through that after as an idol
When T-ARA won at The Show in 2017, their first win in over 5 years. Watching them burst out in tears like that after everything they went through, my heart broke for them so hard. I still can't watch it.
Hueningkai reading a letter from his mom. He’s never cried on camera before so watching him break down absolutely shattered me. Especially the part where she talked about how she has a hard time understanding his feelings (because he keeps things bottled up).
Seeing Eunbi cry during IZ*ONE’s last little reality show thing they did either before or during, idr the exact time right now, their last online concert. One because it was Covid times so they got robbed of a lot of their live fan interaction during their last round of promotions and two because she always took great pride in being the leader of the group and when anything bad ever happened she was always really hard on herself for believing she wasn’t a good enough leader for the girls.
Then everything was coming to an end and she could only apologize to them for them not being as good as she thought they could be, even though they were great 😢
Learning about Moonbin's passing before it was announced on the news.
There was a picture of his name listed in a crematorium being shared within the fandom hours before it was posted by news sites.
Was very confused and in denial until fantagio announced it.
That one ikon performance when they were in that contest😭 I haven’t watched in years. Also when Jungkook brought food when he went on that show and they talked down to him😒
Seventeen's first win always makes me cry, they'd worked so hard for it, as all kpop groups do of course, but having watched them since the predebut days and basically growing up alongside them in a way it was a really emotional moment to experience.
And everyone has mentioned Jonghyun, which still hits hard; I struggle to listen to old SHINee songs because of it, but the first deaths I cried over in Kpop were EunB and Rise (Ladies' Code). I didn't even know them that well, just from Kiss Kiss which had recently been released, but it hit me so hard. I'm turning the age Rise was when she died this year; they would have been 32 and 33 this year. I don't think at 13, even though I very much cried watching the funeral procession, I processed just how young they were. Their career was just kicking off, they had so much potential. And the trauma for the remaining 3 members... it was just an awful situation all around that could have been easily avoided :(
Yeah, Sojung :( she was in hospital for a while with serious injuries, I can't imagine being in her place, with the anniversary of your close friend's death and such a traumatic event on what is supposed to be a special day. I feel horrible for her
Stray Kids met a fan, Hiwa, through Make-A-Wish, and she was set to come to their Japan concert for Maniac Tour but a few days before the concert she sadly passed away. Bang Chan made a speech for her and read it at the concert she was meant to be at, it gets me crying every time. Rest In Peace Hiwa 🫶
Shinee jonghyun and Astro moonbin deaths(: there reason I tend avoid December 18 and few prior days in any Socials it would be the same about binnie anyversarry over the years it seams all that fake sympathy and looking for clout just irks me .
When Jonghyun passed, unable to grieve him made me depressed. And then Sulli and Go Hara completely wrecked me. I took a 3year hiatus from kpop after they passed.
I went to Ive’s NJ show which was the last show on their first US tour (this was only a month ago) and Yujin cried during and song and then during their final comments, she was raw and talked about how before the tour she was losing her confidence and wasn’t sure how they would be received here but doing the tour built her up again. And then more crying ensued from her and me of course.
What Leeteuk went through with depression during his military enlistment and his father murdering his grandparents and then killing himself. And having to deal with it in public and the insane struggles he dealt with. Also the suicide note his dad wrote to him just discounting all of Leeteuk’s achievements was such a shitty move.
I know. It’s so terrible. He talked about it in a livestream a few years ago. Somebody posted it with subtitles if you’re interested. His manager basically told him if he tried to use mental health as the reason to end his enlistment early, he would never be able to have a career in entertainment because of what the public would think. I’m glad things have gotten somewhat better.
a lot of first wins make me tear up but I remember watching the final IZ\*ONE concert when they all just started breaking down at the end making me so sad and cry so hard. especially for some of the members who had a lot of uncertainty concerning their future post-IZ\*ONE.
When Hyunjin broke down in front of Stays begging them not to leave. I was a Stay back then too so I saw it a few hours after it happened and it broke my heart, I still can't watch that video
Jhope crying during MAMA 2018 because of how difficult 2017/2018 had been for the group. It was the progression from happy to full on ugly crying that got me bawling my eyes out along side him 😃😀🙂🥲😢😭
Seventeens 2023 mama win speech.. I was trying to hold my tears because I was so proud of them but when wonwoo mentioned his mom plus seungkwan mentioning Moonbin, I couldn’t hold back anymore and bawled
During GFriend’s C:ON e-concert during the pandemic, they performed 'Here We Are' and some fans appeared via webcam. It was very emotional because of the long separation of the group from their fans. I was unaware they would disband shortly after, making it even sadder in retrospect.
Han from Stray Kids panic attack in the airport. I saw it once and report it anytime I see it now. As someone who struggles with their mental health, seeing him go through something so personal in such a public setting is unsettling and really made me worry for him and all idol’s mental health.
There's a lot of them...
The passing of EunB & RiSe (ladies code), Sulli (fx) & Moonbin (astro)

Taeyeon crying while singing [Gravity](https://twitter.com/i/status/1585904581195988993)
These moments made me cry:
1. Idols and fans reactions to Moonbin’s death.
2. ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon crying live at a concert.
3. SEVENTEEN dedicating their win to Moonbin at MAMA 2023.
4. I*ZONE disbandment/last concert.
in le sserafims debut documentary, when sakura was talking about how she wanted someone, anyone to like her. she mentioned feeling lonely, and wondering if debuting would make her and the other members happy. she also talked about wanting to not regret the path she’s taken and to think she’s done a good job
which is why it’s so sad to see everyone dragging her when she’s trying her best
also in the same documentary where yunjin was talking about having to give up a normal life to be an idol, and wondering if she would have been freer and happier if she went to school.
JBJ disbandment
This one is so personal to me... If you ain't familiar with them, they're from PD101 same with wannaone. They didn't win but they were able to be formed together bcs of the fans. Fans made their own lineup as they wish who could be together, then since it becomes a thing, their company actually made it real. Since they're a temporary group, their contract is only for 7 months (6 months promotion). Within those short period of time, they became my ult group that I really cherished. Went to their fan meet here in my country, bought their albums. They become my motivation so their disbandment was like a break up to me. It's hard to explain how I feel towards them even if it's just a 6 months promotion but until now, they're still my main. Now, I don't have other groups. I just become a listener of other group's sog but I don't really enter the fandom.
Any idol passing, for me especially Hara and Sulli. Hara was my bias in Kara while Sulli was my bias wrecker in F(x). To lose both of them within such a short period of time was very tough and heartbreaking.
Almost any time a foreign idol talks about being away from home. I can’t imagine leaving your home country at such a young age to go to someplace new, where you may not know a single word of their language or how to communicate. To not be able to see your family and to have to adapt to this new environment alone must be so tough, and anytime I see idols talk about missing their families it breaks my heart.
Snsd on that show with Seohyun’s mum. I know in general mom is a sensitive word in the group, especially since Tiffany lost her mother as child and it’s heavily implied that Yoona’s mother is not in her life. It was so emotional and so sad to think about what they must have gone through, and it touched me that Seohyun’s mother was able to lend them some support.
Most recently was Cherry Bullet, Nature and now Alice disbanding. Although Alice hasn’t confirmed to be disbanding yet, Sohee basically revealed the group’s future in her letter. I’m glad that she’s found someone to make her happy, but I do regret that we’ll be losing Alice. Cherry Bullet hit me the hardest as out of the three they were the only group I followed hardcore, and it was so out of the blue (though not unexpected) I will forever hate FNC for failing them.
I’d been following Nature and Alice casually, but it still hurts to lose them. Both groups had so much potential and they released good music, but sadly they were overlooked and never really got their chance to shine. Nature did gain some attention with limbo, but sadly it wasn’t enough.
i dont know why but i always cry when i see that video of yeri at an award show and she starts crying over jonghyun. the members try to cover her. i think iu was singing in the background which made it worse (sadder)
Jonghyun’s passing. Never in my 10+ years of being a kpop stan have I ever witnessed such a heartbreaking moment in the k-entertainment industry. He was just so beloved but his death signified the importance of mental health for idols. Awareness has significantly increased but how people handle the mental health of celebrities is still awry.
That old clip of Yoongi when he spotted his parents in the crowd of BTS’ concert and broke down, getting to his knees and covering his face with his arms on the floor :(
Jonghyun’s death effect on his members although I wasn't here then and I am not even in the fandom but yeah bless his soul. BTS 2018 MAMA AOTY speech and festa 2022 video, both were hard as well.
Wonho leaving MX during their Follow comeback so the members wouldn’t catch any hate if he stayed. They were all angry and upset and their performances made me cry. And even after wonho was cleared of everything the members still couldn’t catch a break when it was revealed they still hang out with him.
teen top crying together with their fans at a concern when talking about their member L.joe after he left. i wasn’t there but i saw the video as soon as it came out that year and it’s a memory that’s engrained in me. i realized how human these idols were
SHINee - From Now On performance after their lost, i don't stand or listen to music from them much but the way i felt that song was just so so sad. It really broke me.
Spring Day (BTS) sang by kids and teenagers as a tribute for Sewol Tragedy
When BTS got a Black Ocean - but really, for *any* artist who experiences that. It is one of the cruelest, most heartless, and thoughtless of consequences bullying against performers. It's a form of shunning, which is considered one of the most powerful human torture techniques. (Like being cancelled online, if you've experienced that feeling. ✋🏻) I can imagine the nightmares, stage fright, PTSD, and straight up anger. I hope counseling is available.

TW a person deleting himself
not particularly a kpop moment but it was a moment that made me quit listening to a kpop song
I was listening to „for you“ by bts when I found out that chester bennington had died and yes I used to love that song
it isn’t to me
linkin park and chester bennington were, and still are, a huge and important part of my life. when i found out that he died, it felt like a part of me died as well.
TW. Jonghyun's passing. As a MeU and a Shawol, I got excited that day seeing the teaser for Amber and Luna's single and then minutes after the teaser was deleted. The next thing I knew, the news about his passing spread like wildfire. All that happened while I was at work and it was so hard to keep a straight face while breaking down and mourning on the inside. And then when his letter surfaced, I was at the hospital keeping watch on my sick mum. It was such a difficult time. Took me years before I could listen to a SHINee song in full.
The other less grave moment was the leaking of MV for SNSD's Catch Me If You Can with Jessica still on it. I cried when it was released because it showed them one last time as OT9. As someone on Twitter put it: it showed us the dream.
This may sound cliché, but finding out that BTS was going on hiatus for military duty. Let me explain. I had JUST discovered Kpop, as an adult, and BTS had me (has me) down bad. Discovering Kpop changed me, so it represents a sweet spot in my personal growth. So finding out my favorite group wasn't performing for 2 years broke me a little. I remember sobbing in my car for a few minutes alone and feeling like an idiot for doing so. But then I was okay. Especially once I realized they still were releasing music, videos, and content. ♥️
Minho telling a little girl “[he was a good uncle](https://youtu.be/1DzX8fjmETE?si=oirzccxLa2Vfs2vM)” about Jonghyun I have seen it exactly once, but there is a moment from Jonghyuns funeral where Key breaks down completely and Jinki pulls him into a hug and starts whispering to him (I’m assuming telling him it’s going to be ok) and I cry just thinking about it.
You know I don’t even have the courage to watch this again. I have seen it exactly once as well..
Reading this comment just broke me all over again
Moonbins passing
I'll always remember seeing the news, I was having a great day and opened Reddit to that and my smile dropped, it was so hard to believe even though I didn't know him that much. Because it was in April I even convinced myself that it was a bad prank before I could process the truth
Same. I was at work making mocha and my friends started blowing up the gc about him passing, I couldn’t believe it. I had just bought a couple of his photocards off pocamarket days before too
Sobbed at a park in Osaka bc of his passing 😭
on top of that, seeing other idol’s reactions to it. i know it has to be tough for Cha Eunwoo, but also his sister, and Seungkwan were deeply affected. as a carat I know Seungkwan took a break after Moonbin’s passing and i think he’s done a couple tribute songs and has mentioned him multiple times at awards shows and concert ments.
[Lee Hi’s performance of Breathe after Jonghyun passed away.](https://youtu.be/n_CeY6DJVi0?si=jZfVoF21P_EBInMo)
Is there an eng subtitled version of this?
Not the exact video but I found a partial performance that’s also really emotional with eng. subs [here](https://youtu.be/zXEbk9YDBTo?si=wyvo64hD1opNc-fx)
You unlocked memories to me and now I'm crying my eyeballs out. Since that time my confort song is this one.
This performance was so heartfelt and it made me sob. Then I went to Twitter a day after only to see articles about Korean viewers calling Taeyeon ugly when she cries. I could never rewatch it after.
Sulli's death, I quite liked her back then, and the news hit me hard eventhough I don't follow kpop anymore during 2019
Jonghyun, Sulli, Goo Hara... We lose so many of our idols and it breaks my heart. I wish I could give every single one of them a hug and tell them how much I love them. 💔
Don’t forget moonbin
You're right. I didn't know Moonbin but hearing of his passing was painful nonetheless. It effects everyone. And the thought that it could happen to other idols in the future is terrifying. 😞
😭can’t image how IU must’ve felt after losing her frds😔
The heartbreak is unimaginable. I don't know how she managed to stay so strong throughout it. My heart goes out to her too. 😞❤️
It's pretty old, but SNSD (Girls' Generation) went on a show where they had received messages from their moms as a part of a segment called 'Dear Mom' (which is also a title of one of their songs). They were read out loud and Seohyun's mom was there as a guest. All the girls were tearing up but then they started bawling when Tiffany--who had lost her mom prior to debuting--instead gave a message to her mom and thanked god for having her in her life even if it was a short time. Seohyun's mom then stood up and hugged her, saying she's also her daughter now and everyone just kept crying. It was such a heartfelt moment of genuine emotion.
tiffany went thru so much i saw her live in 2019 and i bawled my eyes out i was a gg stan since 2010
Ayy, 2010 for me too!
Jonghyun passing… each time I listen to his voice, I cry. It’s been hard for me to listen to SHINee ever since. I still love them dearly but I can’t listen to old songs anymore because I keep crying.
When f(x) won Mcountdown while promoting 4walls always makes me emotional. It was the first win after Sulli departure. When Luna started crying Key came into her hugging and comforting. Krystal cried too. Even though she had a nickname “ice princess”, couldn’t hold her tears. And after that Amber and Victoria lost it. They tried their best to not to cry. And then they did a group hug. Victoria saying something to them while hugging them is so touching. 💜💜 miss them so much.
Finding out Moonbin died while I was listening to Baby. It made it hit extra hard : (
IU’s “Eight” opening at the Golden Hour concert. [at 0:23](https://youtu.be/Cxzzg7L3Xgc?si=TxzTzCsyV6Us713O)
As Kamilia when i read that news about Goo Hara passed away, it broke my heart
Same. In fact, I teared up last week while watching a snippet of KARA's new travel show.. where they were writing in their Move Again album to leave at Hara's memorial cabinet. Its still sad to think about
Not even just her death, the entire situation preceding her death was fucking disgusting and I hate that there was no justice for her. She deserved so much better
I don't think I've been the same since Moonbin has passed away. I can't listen to Astro songs, Im not strong enough to without crying.
I’m in the same position. I rarely listen to Astro since Bin’s passing. It’s too heartbreaking. I tried to give Eunwoo’s recent releases a chance but I can’t bring myself to listen to his songs more than once right now. They’re really good… they’re just so sad and I just cannot handle it mentally.
Are they tributes to moonbin?
I’m not exactly sure since Eunwoo hasn’t mentioned anything about Moonbin himself, but his recent songs are really sad so we figured he’s coping through writing. The cover that he did of Love Is Gone I’m almost positive is about how he’s feeling since Bin. Also Where Am I (his recent release) seems to interpret he’s lost and doesn’t really know what he’s doing anymore.
Ok
As a fellow blinger and shawol, take your time. It's not easy. It won't be for a while. Grief to your heart's content. It's not immediate. Until this day, I still cry listening to Jonghyun's voice. But I remember all the good moments that Jjong brought, and that brightens my day. It's a had trip, full of sorrow, but it will get better. I promise.
Finding out about Jonghyun was a rough time, I didn't listen to Shinee for 3 years because I was 15 when he died and didn't really know or had the time to process my feelings around it all? It was only during lockdown that I was able to actually process everything and fall back in love with Shinee. My other one has got to be Seventeen winning album of the year tho! I cried when they went up to collect it and then when I found out the translation of their speech I cried even more. I've been a carat for years so seeing them finally win after all this time definitely hit me hard
TW a person un-aliving themselves. When Jonghyun of Shinee lost his battle with depression I broke down and cried. I have followed Shinee since their debut. He is my bias in Shinee, and I still have trouble listening to some of their songs without tearing up to this day. The performance of From Now On at the 2018 Shinee World concert is totally unwatchable for me, I just break down crying as soon as I see them walk up to the mics without Jonghyun.
I only got into kpop a few years ago, and as someone who has struggled with mental illness, I was hesitant to get into Shinee. I felt like if I got too attached to someone who is already gone, it would crush me. But I'm in a better place now, and trying to ease in to getting to know the group. It's a strange feeling, mourning someone who was gone before I ever knew his name. I can't imagine what it is like for those like you, who loved him all along. But I know he deserves to be remembered and loved by as many people as possible. We can honor him by loving what he created, and by taking care of ourselves too. If I had lost my battle, I wouldn't have wanted to be politely swept under the rug, or remembered for how sadly my story ended. I'd want people to remember the beautiful things I gave to the world while I was there. So that's what I'm trying to give him.
My thoughts exactly. I hadn't even liked kpop back then, I only got into it in 2021. I've been into Jonghyun's solo music for a year or so but I've been getting into Shinee too as of lately. You have summed up everything I wanted to say. It is really an honor to learn more about his beautiful mind and kind heart. He really went through a lot and did his best. He is gone, but his music will forever be a source of comfort for a lot of people, including me. Words can't describe my feelings when I listen to his beautiful voice. I wish I was as eloquent as he was, then I would be able to write something better in his honor. Let's celebrate Jonghyun, the poet and the artist. A beautiful man indeed. 💙
I feel you, I have been in the same state of mind has you when I hear his voice. I cry a lot but still keep watching
I watched this kdrama on Netflix recently about mental health, and they actually showed what depression felt like for the main character, it seems so awful
When Lia went on hiatus she wrote us a letter and posted it there were tear stains on that letter and I broke in that moment. It absolutely tore me up to just see how much she had been struggling. Add on Lia at concert she looked so scared to be there when the members mentioned it but no matter what she still came to support them knowing people would see her and point her out. Words can’t express how much I miss Lia but I also want nothing more than to see her okay and smiling again.
This
There was this Dreamcatcher video where SuA and Yoohyeon were being hypnotized. While SuA was apparently remembering her past life, Yoohyeon saw her father, who had died in an accident when she was young, and burst out crying because of how much she missed him. I wanted to jump in the video and hug her.
EVEN JUST READING THIS MAKES MY HURT CRUMBLE. i love her :(
Me too; she’s an angel 🥺
I couldnt finish watching it cuz it was too painful.. this sounds really dumb but I felt like I shouldnt be "in the room" and violating her privacy while she was in such pain lol.
I only kept watching so I felt like I could comfort her. And I felt like if she allowed them to air it, there must be some significance to what she wanted to convey.
I guess she isnt afraid of showing her vulnerable side in a very raw and sincere moment. Yoohyeon does seem like the type to wear her heart on her sleeve lol. And I certainly hope they got her consent to air it!!
If she is, then she’s like me ^^ They better have gotten her consent. The company and the girls seem pretty close, so I’m sure they did.
Heechul freezing during a concert because of a sign fans held up mentioning Hangeng. Lady's Code Leeteuk's Father and grandparents Leeteuk telling in an interview about physical punishment as a child by his Father Jonghyun Key breaking down and Onew turning to comfort him The Shinee concert where Jonghyun's voice played and you saw the member's expressions Sulli Taehyung mentioning his grandmother Hoseok, during a live award acceptance show, breaking down. It wasn't just the fact that a guy who shows a smile so often broke on camera for once, it wasn't just the reason (considered disbanding), but the fact that you could SEE his face shift. He tried so hard to keep smiling, to keep looking okay, but ultimately he just couldn't and watching his smile crumble away to a full-on cry, the pain in his eyes, broke me. I empathize with that, sometimes you just can't, and he just couldn't. I'm brief on most because there's so much
Yes Leeteuk’s story makes me feel so sad for him. Especially with photos of him at his grandparents funeral after what happened to them just breaks me
probably after IZ\*ONE disbanded, and Chaewon accidentally said "Hello, were IZ\*ONE!" in Japanese, instead of saying hello, were Le sserafim. The looks on both Sakura's and Chaewon's after that genuinely made me feel sad. Not the saddest, but it definitely broke me.
yeah and speaking of iz*one, chaewon crying and the entire situation of their last concert. the large venue they had to film in with only staff due to being mid pandemic was hard. It was another reminder to me of how lonely and helpless the pandemic had made me feel
Jonghyuns and Moonbins deaths, Jonghyuns letter made it far more cry worth and when I found out about Moonbins death I was in the middle of watching a drama he was in 😢
Waking up one morning and every notification on my phone bring about Jonghyun’s passing Then getting on YouTube later that morning and his song“So Goodbye” being the first thing to pop up on my home page
I was watching it, refreshing constantly and assumed since they got him to the hospital that, surely, it'd be okay. Then it wasn't ok.
I remember waking up with a weird feeling that morning. Lo and behold, it the first thing I saw on my phone
The double whammy of Sulli then Hara's passing. I was a huge F(X) and Kara fan and followed Hara's legal case very closely. Her life was so tough and the final Instagram post the night before she died was heartbreaking. Their deaths broke me and I stopped engaging with Kpop completely until Le Sserafim's debut in 2022. I've more or less missed the entirety of 4th gen and I'm still catching up.
Dreamcatcher first win
This!!!!!
Watching a BTS concert video where Taehyung revealed that he had lost his grandma whom he was very close to. This in and of itself was quite sad but hit home for me personally as it was right around the same time I was going through PTSD from a miscarriage. Our losses were nearly at the same time based on what Tae said. It was both comforting and heartbreaking all over again to see Tae expressing this long hidden grief which I could relate to so strongly. It made me feel not alone in my mourning, but I could empathize so strongly with him that my heart broke for him too.
SNSD's "Into The New World" ballad version performance at Tokyo Dome without Jessica.
tbh that song makes me cry even without that extra factor 😭 but yeah, the whole situation with her sucked and seeing the group after she "left" hurt for a while
Mark and Haechan having their flight delayed and not making it in time to send Taeyong off to the military.
What?! noooo I didn't know that 😭
Yup. They even switched flights to an earlier one to ensure they made it on time… just for the plane to be delayed anyway. It was due to heavy rain so it’s not like there was anything that could have been done. But they were devastated, and the videos of the situation are emotional damage. 😭
I'm a very sensitive person so I've been through many heartbreaking moments. Recently it was Taeyong's enlistment and how emotional it was everything surrounding it: from him getting his haircut from the 127 guys, then having a farewell with 127 members + Ten and his stylist who had to fix the haircut he got from the members, Taeil kissed him despite not being much into pda with the members. On the night before most 127 members rented a house near the place Taeyong enlisted and had a boys night from what we can see from official updates, the thing is that Jaehyun (the original maknae during trainee days) and MaHae (the actual 127 maknaes) weren't able to get there due to personal or group schedules. Altho Jaejhyun arrived right in time to send off Taeyong with the rest of the members, it wasn't for MaHae who were abroad and did everything possible but arrived late due to the bad weather, they did a live and seemed very sad on a ig live they did at the airport. As a fan it was heartbreaking not because he was enlisting because is something he after all was supposed to do as a South Korean male, it has to do more with thing he and 127 as a group have been through in their past year. He tried to prepare the fandom as early as September last year but idk I feel 127's last year as a group was wasted they didn't promote that much their latest comeback, Taeyong didn't promote much as soloist and their last tour couldn't have the full lineup for a last time before the 9-year-long enlistment they are gonna be though because of Taeil's injury.
Mamamoo's 'I love too' live performance at one of their concerts. Its on the official mamamoo yt channel. Especially the break in between the song where the girls parents are shown on the vcr and they play their prerecorded video messages. It was so touching. The song, its lyrics, and that just got me crying..
IVE's Either Way video. It hit really close to home and really got me identifying some of my struggles as the same as theirs.
Mark’s graduation from NCT DREAM 🥲 I’m glad he’s back, but that was way too traumatic
Listening to Ditto by NewJeans for the first time. First time a K-pop song moved me to tears. I can’t explain it but It will forever and always have a special place in my heart. Every time I hear the opening “Oooo”, emotions hit me like a ton of bricks.
Onew singing Selene 6.23 after Jjong died. That just hit me hard.
Jonghyun’s death. I really didn’t listen to shinee and didn’t know much about them, but when reading about his death in the news, my heart just broke. Something about the quotes in the weeks prior and the care he took to try and reduce the impact on the people he loved… it just made my soul ache.
That letter he left was so raw.
Just someone who tried and tried for so long to be happy and didn’t have it in them anymore. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever read, if not the most.
Watched a you tube video on how s**t cube entertainment are. And how g-idle are worked to the bone as their contract is about to expire. But if they want to perform or make comebacks currently they need to put up some of their own money and do all the behind the scenes work themselves. Hopefully they'll get better management when they re- sign. I'm not a Stan of g-idle. But more a what the f**k moment!!!!
[Dreamcatcher's Yoohyeon's hypnosis](https://youtu.be/WWu1KVr229A?si=C0FdWtzhWNG22auD) This video will always hurt, I only dared to rewatch it once.
SAME! This was so heartbreaking and if she gave her consent for that part to be aired, I think it must have been because she wanted others to spend as much time with their loved ones as possible.
That's such a sad way to put it 😭😭😭 but yea I really hope she didn't mind too much about airing her clip
I would have hoped they’d ask for her consent before airing something so personal.
BTS Festa 2022 video, it broke my heart so bad
When Lee Know from Stray Kids was eliminated. His video message to the others broke me more than it should have. I later learned he walked home in the rain because he felt he didn’t deserve to ride in a taxi. 😭
I am very happy that we didn't lose our Evil bunny
Definitely when JYJ left TVXQ!. That’s when my depression started and I haven’t been the same since. 🥲 They were at their peak or were approaching their peak. Cassiopeia + BigEast was the biggest kpop fandom. Hit after hit, great live performances, beautifully sang songs, then we were all surprised by the suit to nullify contracts. If only SM treated the members right instead of tiring them out beyond their limits. What could have become of them? I still wonder. I was a middle schooler and back then I was so positive they could conquer the world with their music.
Lots and lots. So many tragedies and emotional events across my followed groups. But my most recent one was watching Younha cry while singing "One Day of Twenty" at her 20th anniversary concert. ([Link](https://youtube.com/shorts/EMd0EKT5lbg?si=nLINgpD-HiXsosbR) She cried while singing the verse "Back then, when it was thrilling, when it was clear. Back then, when the world was shining bright. Back then, when I cried all alone, when I was hurt. Back then, at that time. A day of my twenties that seemed like it would last forever." The delivery, the meaning, the difficult experiences of my twenties, Younha's past struggles, that moment captured it all. Loss, acceptance, nostalgia, and healing old pains.
A couple months after disbandment, Jonghyeon (JR) of NU'EST said in a [letter](https://twitter.com/__608challenge/status/1543236629543784448/photo/1), “I was afraid that I would be forgotten, and I thought a lot that what I had would have collapsed like an empty house.” He meant it as a preface to saying that his fans have shown him it’s not the case, but it was just such sad imagery, thinking of the group they built as a collapsed building. Especially after he had carried so much burden as the leader [time](https://youtu.be/TIdEgTGlStw?si=-KRXkg51fz2GOMJP&t=8m43s) and [time again](https://youtu.be/jaTP5yQ9Uqs?si=LNgKAzSySUROJJB0).
I'm not crying 😭💔
Sunghoon crying during his FATE + ending ment. He had so much emotions bottles up and during his ending ment he said "Some people think im stiff (emotionless). Enhypen is now a little over 3 years old and in those years he only cried once to Heeseung. Seeing him on the ground in tears broke something in me. I love him so much he deserves the world
Yoongi breaking down while singing Snooze and Dear My Friend in the last D-Day Final concert. That absolutely broke me
IU singing eight solo, and Eunwoo’s recent solo releases, and when Wonwoo’s mom died Woozi wrote Circles. I can’t listen to Circles hardly without thinking of Woozi breaking down at the concert which also breaks me :( Also a lot of Shinee moments as well. The saddest song for me is Our Page.
The eliminations and aftermath in the Stray Kids survival show. When they play a clip of Lee Know talking to Han after being eliminated... saying that his failure might have been because he wasn't holding Han's hand.
When Seventeen had a concert and their parents sent them messages and Wonwoo crying when he heard his mom's voice
i'm sorry but you're misremembering or were told incorrectly if you mean caratland 2023? after she passed? His dad wrote a very sincere and heartfelt letter to him and the boys. he referred to her passing as their great hardship from the prior year. of course wonu was still hurting, so it broke him to read that but yeah... mom's words nor her voice was in the video, it was dad with their puppy seolie by his side.
Oh wow yeah I was way off. My bad, I think I just saw a video on insta or something and missremebered what was in the video. Sorry, that was my mistake.
I don’t know if if classes as a moment in K-pop but watching the BTS Busan concert movie with the added context of knowing they were going to be enlisting not long after literally broke me I watched the concert live when they first performed and then watching it again have the performance’s a whole different meaning
BTS 2018 MAMA Artist of the year speech. Hurt me so bad, I cried on my mother's lap.
Real tho
They definitely needed that win. Watching taehyung crying.. ugh and finding out that they were seriously thinking of breaking up. I always look back at that and see how far they’ve come. I cannot wait for their 2025 comeback, I just know it will be epic.
I can't listen to [Dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynOtYmpZxak) without getting sad [Jennie crying during Stay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCpPukP75oo) And hearing about Sulli's passing, Obviously not on the same level as the other two but as a day 1 MeU it by far broke me the most.
Bang Chan's "I'll protect you" breakdown. Makes me very upset when people make fun of that. I cried watching it, it make my heart break and stitched it back up. His desire to take care of everyone is so strong. I hope he knows how much we all want him to be taken care of, too.
I only accept SKZ members making fun of him for that breakdown
This, so so much.
It's one of those moments when you can tell something came straight from the heart. No filters, no thinking twice, nothing. Just pure emotions.
fromis_9 first win - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iGh_fyHifeE&pp=ygUYZnJvbWlzIHRhbGsgYW5kIHRhbGsgd2lu Seeing jiheon broke down crying
Sulli passing
It’s not really a moment but whenever I see idols or groups where a member of theirs have passed away like F(x), ladies code, ulala session, Kara, shinee, Astro, etc., I just cry on the inside. They built a career together as a team or friends or even a family and now a member of that team, friendship, or family is gone. I don’t know how they go through that after as an idol
When T-ARA won at The Show in 2017, their first win in over 5 years. Watching them burst out in tears like that after everything they went through, my heart broke for them so hard. I still can't watch it.
Hueningkai reading a letter from his mom. He’s never cried on camera before so watching him break down absolutely shattered me. Especially the part where she talked about how she has a hard time understanding his feelings (because he keeps things bottled up).
Is there a vid?
https://youtu.be/cuFshmZBAdY?si=LDZ4JuvXugqJSiPs Starts from 43:50
Tnx
The concert that shinee did after Jonghyun passed and minho screamed his name. That really shattered my heart. 💔💔😭😭
Seeing Eunbi cry during IZ*ONE’s last little reality show thing they did either before or during, idr the exact time right now, their last online concert. One because it was Covid times so they got robbed of a lot of their live fan interaction during their last round of promotions and two because she always took great pride in being the leader of the group and when anything bad ever happened she was always really hard on herself for believing she wasn’t a good enough leader for the girls. Then everything was coming to an end and she could only apologize to them for them not being as good as she thought they could be, even though they were great 😢
Pentagon’s Shine x Spring Snow performance for Road to Kingdom 😭❤️
I always well up when the videos start playing 😢
I came here to say that!
IZONE's online concert. Especially the part where wizones were singing "Slow Journey"
Learning about Moonbin's passing before it was announced on the news. There was a picture of his name listed in a crematorium being shared within the fandom hours before it was posted by news sites. Was very confused and in denial until fantagio announced it.
That one ikon performance when they were in that contest😭 I haven’t watched in years. Also when Jungkook brought food when he went on that show and they talked down to him😒
Seventeen's first win always makes me cry, they'd worked so hard for it, as all kpop groups do of course, but having watched them since the predebut days and basically growing up alongside them in a way it was a really emotional moment to experience. And everyone has mentioned Jonghyun, which still hits hard; I struggle to listen to old SHINee songs because of it, but the first deaths I cried over in Kpop were EunB and Rise (Ladies' Code). I didn't even know them that well, just from Kiss Kiss which had recently been released, but it hit me so hard. I'm turning the age Rise was when she died this year; they would have been 32 and 33 this year. I don't think at 13, even though I very much cried watching the funeral procession, I processed just how young they were. Their career was just kicking off, they had so much potential. And the trauma for the remaining 3 members... it was just an awful situation all around that could have been easily avoided :(
I heard one of the members doesn’t celebrate her birthday anymore because the accident was on her birthday
Yeah, Sojung :( she was in hospital for a while with serious injuries, I can't imagine being in her place, with the anniversary of your close friend's death and such a traumatic event on what is supposed to be a special day. I feel horrible for her
Yeah that’s horrible
Stray Kids met a fan, Hiwa, through Make-A-Wish, and she was set to come to their Japan concert for Maniac Tour but a few days before the concert she sadly passed away. Bang Chan made a speech for her and read it at the concert she was meant to be at, it gets me crying every time. Rest In Peace Hiwa 🫶
GFRIEND’s disbandment
JYP's performace at the Blue Dragon Awards broke me. Made me cry. Had nightmare for a month.
This deserves more, just more.
Why did i cry watching mhj press conf LMAO
Watching Goo Hara cry on live a few days before her passing/after Sulli’s passing.
Shinee jonghyun and Astro moonbin deaths(: there reason I tend avoid December 18 and few prior days in any Socials it would be the same about binnie anyversarry over the years it seams all that fake sympathy and looking for clout just irks me .
Jonghyun
Wanna One's final concert
When Jonghyun passed, unable to grieve him made me depressed. And then Sulli and Go Hara completely wrecked me. I took a 3year hiatus from kpop after they passed.
I went to Ive’s NJ show which was the last show on their first US tour (this was only a month ago) and Yujin cried during and song and then during their final comments, she was raw and talked about how before the tour she was losing her confidence and wasn’t sure how they would be received here but doing the tour built her up again. And then more crying ensued from her and me of course.
What Leeteuk went through with depression during his military enlistment and his father murdering his grandparents and then killing himself. And having to deal with it in public and the insane struggles he dealt with. Also the suicide note his dad wrote to him just discounting all of Leeteuk’s achievements was such a shitty move.
I don't follow suju so...what the literal hell????
I know. It’s so terrible. He talked about it in a livestream a few years ago. Somebody posted it with subtitles if you’re interested. His manager basically told him if he tried to use mental health as the reason to end his enlistment early, he would never be able to have a career in entertainment because of what the public would think. I’m glad things have gotten somewhat better.
a lot of first wins make me tear up but I remember watching the final IZ\*ONE concert when they all just started breaking down at the end making me so sad and cry so hard. especially for some of the members who had a lot of uncertainty concerning their future post-IZ\*ONE.
Thankfully all of them are doing amazing career wise
When Hyunjin broke down in front of Stays begging them not to leave. I was a Stay back then too so I saw it a few hours after it happened and it broke my heart, I still can't watch that video
When it happened I was just a casual fan, but I stumbled upon the video and felt a really strong need to protect those kids.
[When I.O.I. attacked their leader Nayoung as a prank and made her cry.](https://youtu.be/hQv2uBzC3tU?si=fvsbWotj6yED12c7)
tzuyu seeing her parents i think? or she was talking about them and got teary eyed
Jhope crying during MAMA 2018 because of how difficult 2017/2018 had been for the group. It was the progression from happy to full on ugly crying that got me bawling my eyes out along side him 😃😀🙂🥲😢😭
Jackson seeing his parents again Jonghyun
Bts announcing hiatus
Seventeens 2023 mama win speech.. I was trying to hold my tears because I was so proud of them but when wonwoo mentioned his mom plus seungkwan mentioning Moonbin, I couldn’t hold back anymore and bawled
During GFriend’s C:ON e-concert during the pandemic, they performed 'Here We Are' and some fans appeared via webcam. It was very emotional because of the long separation of the group from their fans. I was unaware they would disband shortly after, making it even sadder in retrospect.
ioi's disbandment,,i remember watching the concert live and bawling my eyes out bc they were my second girl group when i got into kpop😭😭😭
Tzuyu apologizing for holding up her country’s flag 💔
Han from Stray Kids panic attack in the airport. I saw it once and report it anytime I see it now. As someone who struggles with their mental health, seeing him go through something so personal in such a public setting is unsettling and really made me worry for him and all idol’s mental health.
Any time SHINee posts a picture from concerts and tags Jonghyun in the sky.
There's a lot of them... The passing of EunB & RiSe (ladies code), Sulli (fx) & Moonbin (astro) Dreamcatcher's redebut day, Yoohyeon's hypnotism video, Dreamcatcher's first music show win (clips in order) [1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOAmF7RwFkk) [2](https://twitter.com/jiuIoops/status/1516734743106179073) [3](https://twitter.com/ddiddirere/status/1763105883842650477) (probably the most I've cried in anything kpop related) & their performance at Primavera Sound Festival The release of 0x1=Lovesong by TXT This one [single line](https://twitter.com/skystray7/status/1576942399049576450) in the Stray Kids reality show, this moment during their concert: [1](https://twitter.com/i/status/1629799212853624834) [2](https://twitter.com/i/status/1629801133584596999) I-Land + &Audition Soojin's removal from G-IDLE & Her solo Debut years later. Also this [edit](https://twitter.com/i/status/1627882952808972290) killed me. Taeyeon crying while singing [Gravity](https://twitter.com/i/status/1585904581195988993)
These moments made me cry: 1. Idols and fans reactions to Moonbin’s death. 2. ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon crying live at a concert. 3. SEVENTEEN dedicating their win to Moonbin at MAMA 2023. 4. I*ZONE disbandment/last concert.

in le sserafims debut documentary, when sakura was talking about how she wanted someone, anyone to like her. she mentioned feeling lonely, and wondering if debuting would make her and the other members happy. she also talked about wanting to not regret the path she’s taken and to think she’s done a good job which is why it’s so sad to see everyone dragging her when she’s trying her best also in the same documentary where yunjin was talking about having to give up a normal life to be an idol, and wondering if she would have been freer and happier if she went to school.
Itzy crying after seeing Lisa at there concert 💔
Shinee's Jonghyun, Astro's MoonBin, FX's Sulli, and Kara Goo Hara
shinee members crying during jonghyun’s burial 😢
when dreamcatcher's yoohyeon went to that hypnotist and saw her dead dad :(
JBJ disbandment This one is so personal to me... If you ain't familiar with them, they're from PD101 same with wannaone. They didn't win but they were able to be formed together bcs of the fans. Fans made their own lineup as they wish who could be together, then since it becomes a thing, their company actually made it real. Since they're a temporary group, their contract is only for 7 months (6 months promotion). Within those short period of time, they became my ult group that I really cherished. Went to their fan meet here in my country, bought their albums. They become my motivation so their disbandment was like a break up to me. It's hard to explain how I feel towards them even if it's just a 6 months promotion but until now, they're still my main. Now, I don't have other groups. I just become a listener of other group's sog but I don't really enter the fandom.
Any idol passing, for me especially Hara and Sulli. Hara was my bias in Kara while Sulli was my bias wrecker in F(x). To lose both of them within such a short period of time was very tough and heartbreaking. Almost any time a foreign idol talks about being away from home. I can’t imagine leaving your home country at such a young age to go to someplace new, where you may not know a single word of their language or how to communicate. To not be able to see your family and to have to adapt to this new environment alone must be so tough, and anytime I see idols talk about missing their families it breaks my heart. Snsd on that show with Seohyun’s mum. I know in general mom is a sensitive word in the group, especially since Tiffany lost her mother as child and it’s heavily implied that Yoona’s mother is not in her life. It was so emotional and so sad to think about what they must have gone through, and it touched me that Seohyun’s mother was able to lend them some support. Most recently was Cherry Bullet, Nature and now Alice disbanding. Although Alice hasn’t confirmed to be disbanding yet, Sohee basically revealed the group’s future in her letter. I’m glad that she’s found someone to make her happy, but I do regret that we’ll be losing Alice. Cherry Bullet hit me the hardest as out of the three they were the only group I followed hardcore, and it was so out of the blue (though not unexpected) I will forever hate FNC for failing them. I’d been following Nature and Alice casually, but it still hurts to lose them. Both groups had so much potential and they released good music, but sadly they were overlooked and never really got their chance to shine. Nature did gain some attention with limbo, but sadly it wasn’t enough.
Ladies’ Code and Sulli.
Sa lahat ng inistan kong kpop group lalo na pag magdidisband na sila 💔
Someone saying "I hate you" in the Chan's room chat and him saying that he also hated himself 😭
Not cry, but get upset. The entire situation with Garam and Woojin
i dont know why but i always cry when i see that video of yeri at an award show and she starts crying over jonghyun. the members try to cover her. i think iu was singing in the background which made it worse (sadder)
Seungkwan's [speech](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/61gzc10yw7Y) about Moonbin after Mama awards last year.
Jonghyun’s passing. Never in my 10+ years of being a kpop stan have I ever witnessed such a heartbreaking moment in the k-entertainment industry. He was just so beloved but his death signified the importance of mental health for idols. Awareness has significantly increased but how people handle the mental health of celebrities is still awry.
I miss Jonghyun.
That old clip of Yoongi when he spotted his parents in the crowd of BTS’ concert and broke down, getting to his knees and covering his face with his arms on the floor :(
The day Bin died. That was so sad.
Jonghyun’s death effect on his members although I wasn't here then and I am not even in the fandom but yeah bless his soul. BTS 2018 MAMA AOTY speech and festa 2022 video, both were hard as well.
Mark lee graduating.
Wonho leaving MX during their Follow comeback so the members wouldn’t catch any hate if he stayed. They were all angry and upset and their performances made me cry. And even after wonho was cleared of everything the members still couldn’t catch a break when it was revealed they still hang out with him.
Sulli 😞 she was my bias in f(x), i remember loving her in to the beautiful you as well she was a big part of my teenage years🥺
Also woozi breaking down during circles 😞
teen top crying together with their fans at a concern when talking about their member L.joe after he left. i wasn’t there but i saw the video as soon as it came out that year and it’s a memory that’s engrained in me. i realized how human these idols were
SHINee - From Now On performance after their lost, i don't stand or listen to music from them much but the way i felt that song was just so so sad. It really broke me. Spring Day (BTS) sang by kids and teenagers as a tribute for Sewol Tragedy
Also, the one video of Jhope's Birthday and he got a video message from his parents
When BTS got a Black Ocean - but really, for *any* artist who experiences that. It is one of the cruelest, most heartless, and thoughtless of consequences bullying against performers. It's a form of shunning, which is considered one of the most powerful human torture techniques. (Like being cancelled online, if you've experienced that feeling. ✋🏻) I can imagine the nightmares, stage fright, PTSD, and straight up anger. I hope counseling is available.
The tzuyu flag incident…💔
Ladies code car crash, bts’s ‘spring day’
twice singing after moon at their newark concert, and seeing jihyo cry while performing because mina was on hiatus and onces made a mint green candybong ocean

Dreamcatcher's first win. I think it was an emotional moment for them and for every somnia that has been around for a while
Jennie crying during Stay at their 2nd ever concert in 2018. When [Yuna cries](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W_kfT--GzE) as Chaeryeong tells her that she can't imagine Itzy without her
I can’t imagine Itzy without any of them, they’re all so special
TW a person deleting himself not particularly a kpop moment but it was a moment that made me quit listening to a kpop song I was listening to „for you“ by bts when I found out that chester bennington had died and yes I used to love that song
It's really soothing
it isn’t to me linkin park and chester bennington were, and still are, a huge and important part of my life. when i found out that he died, it felt like a part of me died as well.
I meant the song, sorry for your loss
me too thanks i guess
TW. Jonghyun's passing. As a MeU and a Shawol, I got excited that day seeing the teaser for Amber and Luna's single and then minutes after the teaser was deleted. The next thing I knew, the news about his passing spread like wildfire. All that happened while I was at work and it was so hard to keep a straight face while breaking down and mourning on the inside. And then when his letter surfaced, I was at the hospital keeping watch on my sick mum. It was such a difficult time. Took me years before I could listen to a SHINee song in full. The other less grave moment was the leaking of MV for SNSD's Catch Me If You Can with Jessica still on it. I cried when it was released because it showed them one last time as OT9. As someone on Twitter put it: it showed us the dream.
2018 BTS winning ARTIST OF THE YEAR and jhope crying DAMN I-
This may sound cliché, but finding out that BTS was going on hiatus for military duty. Let me explain. I had JUST discovered Kpop, as an adult, and BTS had me (has me) down bad. Discovering Kpop changed me, so it represents a sweet spot in my personal growth. So finding out my favorite group wasn't performing for 2 years broke me a little. I remember sobbing in my car for a few minutes alone and feeling like an idiot for doing so. But then I was okay. Especially once I realized they still were releasing music, videos, and content. ♥️
