The news that the late Jonghyun of the group SHINee's dog, Ru, has crossed the rainbow bridge is breaking fans' hearts.
Recently, Jonghyun's sister, Kim So-dam, announced Ru's death through Ru's social media, saying, "2010.3.5–2025.8.28 Ru, thank you for being with me all this time."
She continued, "Thanks to you, I laughed a lot and found strength. I hope you find peace there. Will you always watch over mom and me? I will always love you. I already miss you..."
Fans flocked to social media, commenting affectionately, "Ru, perhaps you met Jonghyun at the rainbow bridge? Thank you for living a good life and leaving us," "I hope you run more and rest comfortably in a good place," "I wish you happiness with Jonghyun there for a long time," "I will always miss you," sharing their love and memories of Ru.
Ru was a dog gifted to Jonghyun's biological sister, and it is known that Jonghyun expressed his desire to maintain a connection with his family through Ru. After Jonghyun passed away in 2018, there was a sad incident where Ru went missing for a while, but fortunately, thanks to fans' tips, Ru returned safely after three days, providing great comfort to the fans.
Meanwhile, Jonghyun debuted with the group SHINee in 2008 and received much love for numerous hit songs, including "Noona You're So Pretty," "Juliet," "Lucifer," "Like Oxygen," "Ring Ding Dong," "Sherlock," and "View," before leaving his fans in 2017.
Wishing that Ru now rests peacefully in Jonghyun's arms, fans are also conveying their longing for both beings on social media everywhere.
