SHINee recalled the story behind late Jonghyun's viral "crying" moment, and Taemin made members laugh with his hilarious side comments.
On May 27, SHINee's official YouTube channel released a vlog, titled "Ep.5 Our Memories (Aside)," in commemoration of their 16th debut anniversary on the 25th.
In the video, the members decided to reminisce the past SHINee moments by watching scenes that they wanted to look back on one by one.
At the time, Taemin had a unique reason for choosing the scene where SHINee bagged their first music show win with "Juliette."
"Back then, we were like... the moments we were awarded 1st place, it felt like a reward for our hard work, in numbers. I loved our performances for 'Love Like Oxygen' and loved when we were at Tokyo Dome, too."
In the photo he chose, Jonghyun was seen crying while in Minho's arms. Taemin said:
"Especially that moment, I remember Jonghyun hyung cried so much. He cried a lot."

Minho recalled that moment and added:
"Actually, this was... I was surprised that this was the day of our comeback. We got 1st on the day we were back. So we were even more shocked."
Amid the heartwarming memory, Taemin made viewers laugh as he justified that there was another reason he really wanted to see the photo.
The maknae shared:
"This photo was actually on our dorm wall. I remember, when we got to our dorm, there was the hallway. This (photo) was on the wall."
Minho, who was also in the photo, remembered complaining at the time.
"I asked why did you put this there? and no one admitted that they put it there. But I was like, why this one? I was so unsure. Why do they always have this photo up?"
Just then, Taemin's creative imagination kicked in and guessed:
"So this is my thought. Normally, when you visit someone's house or any house, they put a wedding photo on their wall. Like that, we had this."
Key then complained:
"But doesn't this look too sad for that?"
Taemin continued:
"But to me, that photo looks like Minho confessed to Jonghyun with (rose) flowers and he was too touched, cried. Every time."
Meanwhile, Jonghyun suddenly left the physical world on December 18, 2017.
Despite that, SHINee continuously attests to Shawols that they will "always be five" by constantly mentioning Jonghyun and celebrating his birthday in the present tense, just like when he is still here.
Recently, Taemin revealed that the group is planning to get matching rings as a sign of their unrelenting friendship, and they will have it together with Jonghyun.
Furthermore, during their solo concert, "SHINee WORLD VI [PERFECT ILLUMINATION: SHINee's BACK]" held at Inspire Arena in Incheon for three days from the 24th to the 26th, the quintet did not forget to relive their moments with Jonghyun during their performance and ment.
