[ASKKPOP] SHINee's Jonghyun asks everyone on his birthday to remember the victims of the Sewol ferry incident

Although it wasSHINeeJonghyun's birthday on April 8, he kindly diverted attention to the victims of the Sewol ferry incident who lost their lives almost a year ago on April 16, 2014 in a tragic accident that shook the nation.

He tweeted in three separate posts,"Lots of people told me happy birthday.  Thank you.  I think sharing a situation, no matter what the situation, is something to be grateful for.  With that in mind, I have something I want to say.  I wish that you will not forget every person involved in the Sewol ferry incident.  Among the students of Danwon High School, there were friends who had the same birthday as me.

"Ms.Park Ji Yoonand Mr.Kim Gun Woowere born on April 8.  I'm one day late, but... if you send a free text to #1111, it will be displayed on the electronic scoreboard at the Ansan group memorial altar.  Please remember the children.

"I never exchanged a single word with them nor have I seen them with my own eyes, but my heart is still numb and weak.  They were children who breathed the same air as we. You must not forget them.  At least for those children.  Or for the children who remain.  Or for the future."

Almost a year has passed, but the tragedy remains as haunting as ever.  Happy birthday to Park Ji Yoon and Kim Gun Woo, and our condolences to their families.

많은분들에게 생일 축하를 받았습니다.감사합니다.어떠한 일을 나눈다는건 고마운일인거같아요.그런 의미에서 전해드리고싶은 이야기가있습니다.모두 세월호 참사를 잊지않으셨을겁니다.단원고학생중에도 저와 생일이 같은 친구들이 있었습니다.

말한마디 나누지 못했고눈한번 바라보지 못한 아이들이지만전 가슴께가 아직도 저리고 허합니다.우리와 같은 숨을 쉬었던 아이들입니다.잊지말아야 합니다.그아이들을 위해서라도.남겨진 이들을 위해서라도.미래를 위해서라도.
