SEOUL: Six of K-pop’s biggest stars carried the coffin of fellow singer Kim Jong-Hyun to a hearse on Thursday, after he died leaving behind a suicide note that spoke of his battle with loneliness and depression. Kim’s body was taken to his funeral from the Asan Medical Center in Seoul where it had been lying at rest. The coffin was carried by the three other surviving SHINee band members and three from Super Junior, another boyband managed by the same agency. Kim, 27, was found in a hotel room in Seoul on Monday in what police said was suicide. Kim’s close friend, musician Nain9, released his suicide note on her Instagram account, saying he had asked her to publish the message in the event of his death.
