BTS' members, Yoona, Yuri and Hyoyeon of Girls' Generation and BoA have been spotted arriving at the Seoul Asan Hospital where the wake is held.

AceShowbiz - Fellow singers have visited the Seoul Asan Hospital to pay final respects to SHINee's Jonghyun, who passed away on Monday, December 18. Among the mourners were BTS (Bangtan Boys), some Girls' Generation members, BoA and NCT.

BTS' boys, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook, arrived together and headed straight to the second floor. They wore matching white shirts, black jackets, pants and ties. Clad in all-black ensembles, Yoona and Yuri of Girls' Generation arrived at the same time, followed by Hyoyeon. Yoona couldn't hide her sadness as she was seen wiping tears off her face while en route to the second floor.

Labelmate BoA and NCT's members were also captured on a video at the mortuary. S.M. Entertainment's founder Lee Soo Man and EXO reportedly have visited the mortuary as well, but they were not seen on the video.

In the wake of Jonghyun's sudden passing, fellow S.M. artists have canceled their activities. Kangta couldn't host MBC FM's "Kangta's Starry Night" and was replaced by special guest MC Illac. NCT's Jaehyun and Johnny canceled their appearance on SBS Power FM's "NCT's Night Night", and Taeyeon canceled a scheduled fan meeting. She has a scheduled Christmas concert which is set for December 22, but it will most likely be canceled too.

Jonghyun's groupmates Key, Onew, Minho and Taemin are listed as head mourners along with his family at his wake. His funeral will take place on December 21.

Jonghyun was found unconscious in a residential hotel on December 18 and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 27. Police believe he died from inhaling toxic fumes as they found coal briquettes burnt on a frying pan upon arriving at the place. His family has decided not to perform autopsy.

In a final text message he sent to his sister, the idol reportedly wrote, "It's been hard. Let me go. Tell me I've worked hard. This is my farewell."

Jonghyun's best friend, Dear Cloud's Nine9, has also released his final letter which revealed his struggles with depression. Another friend said the root of Jonghyun's struggle was music.
