SHINee fans are celebrating and tearing up at the same time after SM Entertainment unexpectedly released a never-before-seen photo of Jonghyun, offering a rare new glimpse of the beloved late artist.
The image was shared through SHINee’s official channels as part of an update to commemorate his death, on December 18. 2025 marks the 8th year anniversary since he became an angel in the sky.

It is clear that everyone still misses him.
Dearest Jonghyun,
With every year that passes without you, the closer we still get to you. The things you accomplished, the sweet person that you were, will always be known. You will never be forgotten. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
Our shining moon, you are loved beyond… https://t.co/KVFJqXYIhf pic.twitter.com/J1tyRvwpvV
