(“in this study, i tried to find the difference between the stage aesthetics difference of musicals and music concerts. the stage aesthetics of the musical is more spectacular than that of the popular music concert. these differences stimulate audiences, and may even lead to differences in the audience base.”) in doing this, he compares the musicals aida and black mary poppins with concerts held by exo and shinee (specifically the shinee world v tour). enxrima on twitter provided a further details on this: he explained when shinee world concerts started and what the nicknames of each shinee world concert has been. at one point, he specifically mentioned taemin within the work. he explained what the functions are for opening and closing vcrs, and the stage lighting and laser use during “trigger” performances. he discussed exo’s origin story, their concept as a group, and the concept of their concerts. he did this with the two musical examples as well, providing in-depth analysis’s of both. between both, he focused upon five topics: the stage, stage lighting, videos, songs, and storytelling. he pointed out that musicals have a wider audience overall than pop concerts, and expressed his wish for pop concerts to develop a wider audience as well. he also expressed a wish for pop concerts to become as story driven as musicals. within his research data, he used age and gender chart data from concert ticket sales for both exo and shinee to showcase their audiences that their concerts have drawn in. to download the full thesis (in korean) in .pdf form: click on the little button near the top of the page that reads 원문보기.

keep on talking about jonghyun, please. always include him in any way that you can. continue to share his music, his words, videos of him, pictures of him, facts about him. introduce him to new fans of shinee with the same enthusiasm (if not more) than you would have done in the past. keep on loving him in the way that you always have (and even more). give back to him everything that he gave to us (and then some). the world and industry is so fast moving, we can let him get lost in the bustle of it all or left in the past or, even worse, treated like a taboo topic. don’t let him become someone that needs to be tip-toed around talking about or brought up only when it “makes sense to”. celebrate his life and accomplishments and just everything about him. never ever ever forget him. 

beautiful, special, gentle, kind, soft, bold, brave, loving, understanding, open-minded, loyal, cute, lovely, comforting, multifaceted, inspiring. the reason for countless changed lives, someone who left an impact on everyone he crossed paths with. i miss him.
