South Korean singer-songwriter Kim Jong-hyun (most often credited as Jonghyun) has released two studio albums, two compilation albums, one extended play, nine singles and six soundtrack songs. Jonghyun began his career in 2008 as a member of the boy band Shinee. [1] Early on in his career, he recorded songs for the soundtracks of various television shows, such as "So Goodbye" (2011), which sold over 500,000 downloads.

He debuted as a soloist with the release of his first extended play, Base , on January 12, 2015. The EP topped the South Korean Gaon Album Chart and spawned the number-one single "Déjà-Boo". Follow-up single "Crazy (Guilty Pleasure)" also charted in the top five. His first compilation album, entitled Story Op.1 , was released on September 17, 2015, reaching the top three on the Gaon Album Chart. Jonghyun released a collaboration single with Heritage titled "Your Voice" on March 18, 2016, for the project SM Station. [2] On May 24, 2016, he released his first studio album, She Is , containing a total of nine songs. [3] The album peaked atop the Gaon Album Chart, selling over 90,000 copies. On December 9, 2016, he released the song "Inspiration" for SM Station. [4]

Jonghyun released his second compilation album, titled Story Op.2 , on April 24, 2017. Its lead single, "Lonely", gained success following Jonghyun's suicide in December 2017, rising to number one on the Gaon Digital Chart. His final album, Poet | Artist , was released posthumously, on January 23, 2018. [5] It became Jonghyun's first album to rank on the Billboard 200, making him the fourth Korean soloist to appear on the chart. [6] In South Korea, it topped the Gaon Album Chart, and was later certified Platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) for selling 250,000 copies.
