South Korean singer and songwriter Kim Jong-hyun (most often credited as Jonghyun) has written 80 songs, [1] including music for his solo career, his band, and for other artists. He began his musical career in 2008 as a member of the boy band Shinee and later formed the ballad group SM the Ballad. [2] Jonghyun made his debut as a songwriter with Shinee's 2009 single "Juliette", which was featured on the extended play Romeo . [3] He was inspired by the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet , stating that he deliberately chose "a story which everyone can identify with". [4] He began making frequent contributions to Shinee's musical output thereafter. [5] Most notably, in 2015, he penned the lyrics to "View", the lead single from Shinee's fourth studio album, Odd . The song peaked at number one on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart [6] and received nominations from the Mnet Asian Music Awards and the Golden Disc Awards. [7] [8] Jonghyun garnered acclaim for the lyrics, which were inspired by synesthesia. [9] [10]

In February 2014, Jonghyun started a songwriting corner titled "The Man Who Composes" on his MBC FM4U midnight radio show, Blue Night, where he wrote songs based on stories submitted by listeners. [11] In 2015, he debuted as a solo artist with the release of the self-composed song "Déjà-Boo", accompanied by his first extended play, Base . [12] Jonghyun was credited on every song on the EP, which reached number one on the Gaon Album Chart [13] and Billboard World Albums [14] and won an Album Bonsang at the Golden Disc Awards. [15] Later that year, he released his first compilation album, Story Op.1 , consisting entirely of songs he had previously written for his radio show. [16] This was followed by his first studio album, She Is (2016), and second compilation album, Story Op.2 (2017). Jonghyun described the Story Op albums as showcasing a side that is "more ordinary and human", as opposed to his other work that presents an "idealized" version of himself. [17] His final album, Poet | Artist (2018), was released posthumously following his suicide on December 18, 2017. [18] His solo music is largely co-written with his composition team, WeFreaky. [19]

In addition to his solo career and his work with Shinee, Jonghyun has written several songs for other artists. In 2013, Jonghyun wrote "A Gloomy Clock"; the song was gifted to his friend IU after she expressed interest in it. It was included on her album, Modern Times , with Jonghyun as a featured artist. [20] Jonghyun wrote songs for bandmate Taemin and labelmates Exo, as well as artists such as Son Dam-bi and Lim Kim. He was invited by Epik High rapper Tablo to write a song for Lee Hi's 2016 album Seoulite . [21] The resulting single, "Breathe", was inspired by Lee's difficulties with breathing due to panic disorder. [22]

Jonghyun became active as a songwriter at a time when it was uncommon for idols to do so. [5] He has been lauded as one of the few idols to differentiate himself from the "mass-produced" nature of the K-pop industry, owing to his artistry and songwriting prowess. [23]
