Kpop has a long-running April Fool's Day tradition of fansites changing to be a fansite for someone (or something) else for the day. Posting pics of another kpop artist, a group's manager, watermelon, you name it and someone has probably done it.

This year, a Day6 fansite gave us a special treat for April Fool's, pics of Jonghyun that haven't been posted previously.

A contribution from my wife for this #KpopMonday #WantUBack cuz in this house we both adore and miss him

Jonghyun - Y Si Fuera Ella https://youtu.be/0lSSIQ4lE78
cw: flashing concert lights, hanky warning, gunshot/blood (fake)

This is also a good song to point to about how translation is a series of choices - what was arguably more general in Spanish became specific in Korean due to Jonghyun's choices.

Ok, ok, I did indeed promise some happier songs for this #KpopMonday #WantUBack, so let's get to that, shall we?

Jonghyun - Shinin' https://youtu.be/J41qe-TM1DY
cw: lens flares, background flashing, surrealism

I'm resisting just posting all of Jjong's MVs, just for the record. ;)

Are you crying yet? No? I can fix that!

Jonghyun - Lonely (feat. Taeyeon) https://youtu.be/NpTpEsE9G8c
cw: hanky warning, implied SI, lens flares, drinking

We can't have a #KpopMonday #WantUBack without Jonghyun, even if it still hurts.

It's #KpopMonday again and the theme this week is #SunMoonStar ... and I am nothing if not the most basic kpop bitch to ever kpop bitch, so I present our dearest wolf pup.

Jonghyun - MOON https://youtu.be/V9IHvRua2ks

You did well, pup, thank you and rest.

Here are my selections for this week's #KPopMonday theme: #24hours:

First, we have Chungha's "Gotta Go," which is about wanting to stay but having to leave because it's late. Speaking of which, I hope she's doing well and signs with a new (and better) agency soon: https://youtu.be/HlN2BXNJzxA

Next, we have Jonghyun's "Just for a Day." Rest in peace, moon prince. https://youtu.be/KPVW2uVGgYs

And finally we have "All Night" by (G)I-DLE, which is a b-side off their latest album, I Feel. Here's their performance from Day 1 of their Seoul concert earlier this year: https://youtu.be/tvoDZJf7TPM
