A Spanish comic has received a lot of criticism after being caught mocking Jonghyun SHINee's death. The comic was published by a popular weekly magazine in Spain which has the name El Jueves.
A Twitter user with a CintiaDero username then uploaded photos of the comic and said that the comic had mocked the death of one of SHINee's member, Jonghyun.
The part that was considered mocking Jonghyun was the inscription, "An idol committed suicide at the age of 27 after being unable to withstand pressure in the industry."
The comic character made similar to Jonghyun also said, "At the age of 27! Like my friends Jimi Hendrix, Janis, Jim Morrison, Kurt ...! "
Jimi Hendrix, Janis, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain are celebrities who ended their lives at the age of 27 years. Besides this comic also illustrates the fanaticism of K-Pop fans towards their idols and says that these fans will buy all the merchandise if there is an agency that makes new idols like Jonghyun.
As a form of protest, fans then made a petition to close the magazine which until now has been signed by more than 29 thousand netizens. (www.onkpop.com)
