140203 Blue Night Jonghyun Full Audio
February 3rd 2014
Jonghyun made his debut as the new dj for mbc fm4u’s blue night radio, replacing the former dj, brown eyed soul’s jungyeop. jonghyun stayed on as dj on the show for just over three years before retiring post on april 3rd, 2017. in the three years that we spent with jjongd we were not only able to get to know him better as a person but we were able to watch him develop into the singer-songwriter that he always dreamed of becoming. he made his solo debut just one month shy of his first anniversary on the show and it was through a special corner that he created, the man who composes, where he composed and wrote songs based on stories sent in by listeners, that we were able to receive two incredible albums: the collection [story op. 1] and the collection [story op. 2].
9th March 2017 the announcement jjong was leaving Blue Night
(the leaving announcement - longer translation)
Jonghyun: when i first started hosting this show, i wanted to create a space where people, including myself, could set their hearts at rest, no matter where they were. three years later, this space has grown into a whole world in itself. it taught me about so many things i’ve never experienced, and i’ve also revealed a lot to my listeners. this space allowed us to come together in one place regardless of where we were physically. some people joined us from the other side of the world and at a different time, but we were were still in the same space. physical space had nothing to do with us, and i hope it continues to be that way.
do you know the feeling when you find something you love so much that you’re not sure what you should do to take good care of it? blue night has turned into something like that for me, and now i don’t now what to do. i guess every beginning has an end. i have something to tell everyone today. for various reasons, i will be taking some time away from the physical space of blue night i thought my listeners should be the first ones to know. i will continue to be in the same spiritual space we created.
i apologize. i said i would stay for a long time, but [i had to do this] because of my schedule and health. i’m sure there will be a time when we can share our stories with each other again. as i’ve always said, i have a certain mindset that i set for myself as a radio dj. while i’m away, i will continue thinking about those things and polish myself before i come back. i will definitely come back.
April 4th 2017
Reasons he gave for Leaving.
On March 9, a source from MBC’s radio department explained, “This conclusion was reached after a thorough discussion between Jonghyun and the production crew. Though it’s unfortunate, Jonghyun has decided to step down due to SHINee’s busy schedule.” SHINee will be going on tours in Japan and North America soon.
Jonghyun stepped down from the DJ chair after spending three years as the host for MBC FM4U’s “Blue Night.”
On April 4th 2017, Jonghyun spent his last day as DJ for Blue Night. MBC FM4U which lasted more than three years, 1155 days and nights.
DJ Jonghyun, who came dressed in a blue suit, said, "It's my own courtesy to the listeners, and my own way to say hello," and sat alone in the studio to prepare for the final broadcast. Behind him, there was a banner that said, 'Away for a while-End of the day, let's meet again in our space'. And 12 o'clock came.
“Jjongd, thank you so much. I don't know if this feeling can be conveyed with just one word of thanks, but I was able to endure it through the difficult days because of the blue night.” It was a 'preannounced farewell' from three weeks ago, but it didn't seem easy to get your mind together.
Around the time the atmosphere in the studio subsided calmly, Ko Young-bae and Coffee Boy, who had been in charge of the 'The Radio' corner of <Blue Night>, appeared as 'surprise guests'. Jonghyun greeted them with a really surprised expression. Then, he smiled and said, “I was noticing that ‘sneak guest’ was written on console C.” At those words, producer Nam Tae-jung and the writers laughed together, but couldn't help but say, "Oh, I didn't think of that."
Singer Younha entered the booth outside the studio while they smiled and greeted each other and read a letter from a listener who drew DJ Jonghyun himself. Younha, who came to the production team as a surprise guest, wrote a letter she wanted to leave for DJ Jonghyun and entered the studio.
Younha said, "Thank you for being here for over 1000 days" on behalf of the listeners, then recalled the memory of the last broadcast of <Younha's Song Shining Night> and said, "I cry when I'm sad. Everyone will be of the same mind now. Even if you go, I hope you eat well and be happy. Even if it takes a long time, we will wait,” she said.
After Younha left, and after a song was finished, 'ON AIR' turned on, and DJ Jonghyun suddenly burst into tears that he had been holding back. When Jonghyun couldn't speak, producer Nam Taejung played a highlight cut of the broadcasts he had made so far. Producers Chulyoung Kim, Seungwoo Yong, and Jeongeon Park, former PDs of <Blue Night>, who were watching Jonghyun in the production team’s booth, held their breath and listened to the highlights of <Blue Night> together.
After the last greetings left by the guests who went through <Blue Night>, the microphone went up again, and DJ Jonghyun said, “If you look at the clock in the DJ seat, you can see how many minutes are left on the show. But there were 47 minutes left. So..." He continued to cry.
Even Minho of SHINee, who came as the last 'secret guest', left, and the last signal music played. Even at the production booth, the writers and PDs kept saying, "What should I do, now it's really the last time".
'Tomorrow with you'. For the last hour of Blue Night, we are preparing a song for all of you who are starting tomorrow. Today's song is Jonghyun's '1000'. 'Perhaps you and I would have met, even if it wasn't exactly then' This is the song we listened to together when you and my blue night celebrated the 1000th day. These are the lyrics of Jonghyun's '1000' song.
For me, radio was a very meaningful and wonderful experience of growing up. I'm talking about that a lot. Growing always comes with pain. I think it's a process of going through growing pains. Nevertheless, it became a very, very precious memory for me, and I hope it will be a precious memory for you too... I hope to reminisce and promise the day we meet again.
Radio became a turning point in my life. and blue night. I don't know how many times I put my name in front of the word blue night and chanted it. The sentence 'Blue Night is Jonghyun' was awkward at first, but it has become familiar, and the day has come when I have to say hello to that familiarity for a while.
Right now, I feel very sad, sad, and tearful, but we will definitely meet again. Perhaps you and I, even if it wasn't exactly then, you and I would have met. Then, I hope that time will come soon. At that time, we will greet each other with much greater joy than our current feelings.
I really thought a lot about how to say goodbye. And I decided to do what I was doing. Instead, I'm going to say hello by adding one more word in front of him. Until now, it was Blue Night Jonghyun. I'll come to rest too. Everyone, and bye, come to rest tomorrow as well..."
"i love you"
Jonghyun, who paused and added the last word, sat alone for quite some time at the seat where the final song was playing. Then, he greeted the people he spent two hours with in the garden studio and came out of the studio. Past producers and writers who had gathered gave him a round of applause.
Producer Nam Tae-jung, who was with us on the last broadcast, said, "(Thanks to DJ Jonghyun) I have tasted the happiness of the heyday of radio after a long time." He said his voice didn't come out on the radio, so I felt unfamiliar... Jonghyun was a really sincere DJ who really liked radio.”
<Blue Night> Jjong-D, who loved radio more than anyone else and who received more love than anyone else, was away for a while like this. However, soon, everyone pledged to 'meet again in our space'.
Around the time the atmosphere in the studio subsided calmly, Ko Young-bae and Coffee Boy, who had been in charge of the 'The Radio' corner of <Blue Night>, appeared as 'surprise guests'.

(ending mnet) jonghyun: “probably even if it weren’t that time, you and i surely would have met.” it was the song we listened to together during the 1,000th blue night between you and i. they are the lyrics from the song - which the title, itself, is straightforward. jonghyun’s “1000”. radio to me is … deeply meaningful and an experience of great growth. i’ve said this a lot: that pain always follows growth. i think that it’s a process where i experience the pain of growth. despite that, it became precious memories to me. i hope it became precious memories to everyone, and i hope to reminisce it as i promise the day i return.
radio was a big turning point of my life. and blue night …, i don’t know how many times i have repeated the term blue night with my name at the front. the sentence: “blue night, i am jonghyun” was really awkward in the beginning, but it had now become familiar. the day when i had to temporarily bid goodbye to this familiarity has come. that’s right. the thing about life is about repetitive meetings and separation. i believe that we are also in that process and that’s why we are growing. right now …, it’s a pity. it’s disappointing and tears flow but we will definitely meet again. “probably even if it weren’t that time, you and i surely would have met.” that time …, i hope that time will come soon. that time, we will greet each other with joy and that will be even great that the feelings of the present.
i troubled a lot over how i should do the last ending and i’ve decided i’ll do it like i usually do, but i’ll add in one more line before that: this has been blue night. i am jonghyun. i, too, will rest and come back. everyone, as usual, and peacefully, please come and rest tomorrow too. i love you all.

Closing Message - 140203
"Today I became Blue Night’s DJ. It was a day with trembling and breathlessness. I’d like to stay on this chair for a long time. While crying and laughing, I’d like to treasure your stories and your daily life together forever."
to. my star ♡ lee soyeah (lead vocal of hexe)
written for jonghyun / his blue night departure
translation: sullaem
your voice
finds me at the end of a day.
just like a dream, it feels like you’re next to me.
perhaps we were always together.
the countless stories
you told about your daily life
were so precious to me.
when will i finally be able to tell you?
hello, i feel a bit shy but
allow me to say a greeting.
to you, who gave me such comfort.
i’ll always remember
your voice that patted and soothed me.
the blue nights we shared together
all the days that were dazzlingly bright.
even if we’re far apart
we’re always together, my, my darling.
twelve o'clock, the space between today and tomorrow.
you, beyond the radio.
are you always there?
when i’d meet you at the end of a day
and race from midnight through dawn
gradually my weary heart
would peacefully fall asleep.
over the frequencies, what kind of things
would we be able to share.
the idea of someone waiting for me
was probably my greatest comfort.
really, just once
i really wanted to tell you these words.
because i know you’d be happy to hear
bling bling, very, very sweet heart.
that’s what your voice feels like to me.
i came to rest today, too.
how was your day?
this is a secret, but
i’ve been waiting for you forever.
twelve o'clock, the space between today and tomorrow.
you, beyond the radio.
are you always there?
when i’d meet you at the end of a day
and race from midnight through dawn
gradually my weary heart
would peacefully fall asleep.
tick tock, tick tock.
beyond the flow of time.
a person who found me by coincidence.
the really great memories of
the beginnings and ends of days we spent together.
now it’s time for us to part
even if you’re far away
i hope you’ll always be well.
goodbye.
translator’s note: “my, my darling” was literally just “my, my you” in korean (토닥토닥, 쓰담쓰담) (onomatopoeia’s for “pat pat, caress caress”) have been paraphrased.

lead vocalist of group hexe, (lee) soyeah, who is set to make her solo debut, has revealed that her debut single, “to my star”, was written / inspired with blue night and jonghyun in mind. soyeah revealed in her debut interview (which can be found at the source) that she was an avid fan / listener of blue night radio throughout the three years that jonghyun was dj, and that when he announced he was stepping down from the show, she was so saddened / filled with sorrow about it that she was inspired to write the song.. “to my star” (which a clip can be listened to of here) will be released today at 12pm kst. (source)
The official music video for “to. my star” by hexe’s soyeah has been released. as mentioned in this post: soyeah wrote the song with blue night radio / jonghyun in mind after he announced his leave from the show, due to her being a longtime fan of him on it. a note that the song was actually played during his final broadcast of blue night radio (which you can find a snippet of from her official instagram here) before it’s official release (which was today) though no one is sure if jonghyun was aware when playing it that the song was written by another idol. a translation of the lyrics (which are said to be very cute / sweet) will be coming soon. the song can be downloaded on melon as well!
