On Tuesday, marking the end of their Japanese Tour at the Tokyo Dome, the currently four-person group paid tribute to their friend.
At the final show, they took to Instagram to share that Jonghyun was not far from their thoughts. Sharing an image from back stage, they wrote: ‘I know you were here love you jhong.’
