Kim So-dam, sister of SHINee's late Jong-hyun, announced that she will conduct a psychological counseling project for healthy artistic activities of young cultural artists.

On the 6th, Bitina, a foundation, posted a video titled 'The late Jonghyun, a story that she wanted to tell but couldn't.'

Kim So-dam, who appeared in the video, introduced himself as "Kim So-dam, secretary-general of Bitina, a foundation and Jong-hyun's older sister". "It's my first official greeting in front of the camera."I think I've been hiding all along, and I haven't been able to come up to the surface, but now I'm starting because I'm looking for ways to share my inner story well."

He "I'm sure you have stories you've wanted to tell but couldn't, and stories you've agonized over alone." I'm sure there's a way for us to overcome the difficulties of being alone"I hope we don't get stuck at that time and come out together and have a time to overcome it together."," he said.

The late Jong-hyun died on Dec. 18, 2017, at the tender age of 27. The bereaved family of the deceased established the 「Bitina」 Foundation in the fall of 2018 after Jonghyun's death.

Based on the copyright fees left by Jonghyun, the foundation is conducting a scholarship project for young artists who are having a hard time without an agency. In addition, we are supporting youth and young cultural artists so that they can engage in cultural and artistic activities with a healthy mind by establishing and operating a center for psychological counseling and healing.
