The K-pop world was shocked when it was confirmed that Jonghyun had died on December 18. As tributes pour in from fans and fellow idols around the world, we thought we might celebrate the life of SHINee's lead singer by taking a trip down memory lane and taking a look at his most memorable moments.
From his stunning live performances to being a complete goofball, here are Jonghyun's 23 most memorable moments:
23. Popping bubbles
OMG, we just can't...
22. Looking spunky in the "Lucifer" MV
That hair! Those moves!
21. Taeyeon and Jonghyun teaming up for some sweet collabs
Two of the best vocalists on the same stage at the same time!
20. Playing charades!
Never mind guessing, we're having fun watching him act everything out!
19. Looking cool as ice while on a rollercoaster
It was all going so well...until he got something in his eye at the very end!
18. Hosting his own radio show for 3 years
And what an enjoyable 3 years it was. And it ended in the sweetest way possible...

Jonghyun wasn't the only one bursting out in tears during that show! (
16. His reaction when asked by fans to do aegyo
Such a puppy!

The only cuter than seeing Taemin and Naeun together is seeing Taemin goof around with his SHINee members!
