Guess who won Music Core today?!

image Click to view



This was the first show he was eligible to win #1 for, and his first win as a soloist, AND a win with the song that he co-composed and wrote!



Rough (very rough) translation of his award speech: Ah, thank you so much. First off, I love you, SM school, and Lee Sooman-sseonsaengnim. Then [a bunch of names I can't bother to parse at the moment bc I suck 휴ㅅ휴], I'm so thankful. And, ah -! Right now my head is too - ah, it's/I'm dizzy. ... SHINee, thank you! And SHINee's parents who gave birth to us, thank you. And SHINee World, I love you.

(As always, pls leave tons of room in your heart for errors ㅎㅅㅎ also cosmicsticks's translation here!)

& he tweeted, too, of course!:


I love you♡ What first place*, I don't believe itㅜ

* -이라니: like "what do you mean." here it's expressing his surprise/dumbfoundment; also thought to translate it as "To think it's first place"? I am really waiting for other translators lol ;;;;

Split personality* self-voting proof..♡hehe..♡thank you

Picture Translation:
- Jonghyun
- ♡
- I love you, Jonghyun-ah
- Go/let's get first place*

*자아분열: gtranslate said 자아 means ego and 분열 means split/disruptance. I googled further and took my best guess. I think he's just referring to how he was talking to himself in his vote text :'33
*일등하렴: did NOT know how to translate that verb ending lol T__T

T/N: Music Core has a text vote option where you can text the name of the artist you are voting for.

Frankly, I lost my shit at the second tweet and went on a huge, sobbing, emotional spiral that only ended when... I started drafting this entry lol. Just copy+pasting my own tweets into a ramble here:

Jonghyun is such an embodiment of self-love. It means he has all the room to give endless love to others. Honestly, I just want to cryyyy, you've got to take care of yourself in this world, and jjong is, he is, jjong is so lovely, I love him, god I do.

Possbly my favorite quote from him, out of many many many good quotes: "In order to become an entertainer, I would quietly give myself confidence. I cried a lot, and laughed a lot." [from Screen Magazine, Aug. 2009]

I'm so overwhelmed lk;;;l;;;; The win itself happened SO FAST, and jjong said in his speech that his head was all dizzy, and this...!!!!

It's the idea of being able to treat yourself as you would treat a friend; as someone you love. And what makes it so affecting and remarkable to me is that I know (disclaimer: or have an approximate perception of the image he presents to the public, blahblahblah) that it's NOT effortless for him, because he gets hung up on the things he thinks he's done wrong and he's hard on himself and he takes things deeply to heart. It doesn't necessarily come naturally to him but he still does it.

AND HE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON. AND I LOVE HIM. AND HE WON TODAY FOR A SONG HE WROTE, SEVEN YEARS AFTER DEBUT.

I just really - really - how can you not love him? Or at least, how can you not recognize these qualities in him of immense kindness and generosity and openness, and how can you not appreciate him for it? I'm so happy he won. I'm so happy I was here to see him be able to do this - any of this.

Next up: Inkigayo! Please watch Jonghyun's performance of Déjà-Boo from last week's show; the view counts go toward the SNS points for the win!! So do the view counts for the Déjà-Boo MV :3 More info here (cr: fyjjong on tumblr)!!
