Mantan member Hello Venus ini masih enggak menyangka dengan kabar kepergiaan Jonghyun.
“You were a true musician who filled every moment with music since I came to know you ten years ago, as well as someone who wanted to make happy music. We will never forget you. So this is how it feels when your heart is being ripped apart… This is so hard, I can’t take it. It hurts so much that it feels like my heart is being torn out with a knife. He was one of the few people whom I could share my feelings with since I began doing this job. Jonghyun, don’t go… don’t go.. I’ll pray that you rest in peace. Jonghyun, thank you. Thank you even just for existing.”
Tao bilang bahwa penampilan 'Hot Times' yang dibawakan oleh SM the Ballad, salah satunya Jonghyun, memberikannya semangat untuk berlatih lebih giat dulu saat masih menjadi trainee.
“Because of that performance and song, I wanted to be on stage right away, so I wanted to train more quickly too. Thank you for giving me strength. The first senior artist I met in Korea was you. I think I can’t express how I feel at this moment.”
