we obviously have to start by remembering that jongdae used to have prejudice against idols, but 'please don't go' by jonghyun and onew changed his perspective. now he's breaking the stereotypes himself all thanks to shinee!
here's jongdae singing please don't go aka the song that inspired him to become an idol
nothing changed after jongdae debuted, jonghyun remained to be his idol! taste i think
speaking of taste: rookie exo covering why so serious and jongdae doing jonghyun's parts
the love & appreciation has never been one-sided though! jongdae was so happy when jonghyun kept complimenting his voice during exo's visit to bluenight radio
now this is the collaboration of the century
after a day without you was released, jonghyun tweeted 'you did well Jongdae~~~^^ you're the future of SM'. istg jongdae is the most successful fanboy ever
don't you just love when one legend praises another legend
now an important question is: where's jongdae x jinki collab?? the begining of 'hope' at smtown is the closest we have to them collabing. kings pls i'm waiting for you in 2022
and this clip of taemin, baekhyun, and jongdae singing together?? iconic i think
