KCSC (Korea Communications Standards Commission) is inspecting media reports on the late SHINee�member Jonghyun.

On December 28, KCSC officially announced, "The rules by KCSC state that it is forbidden for media outlets to describe, beautify, and/or justify a suicide. Media outlets are also forbidden from judging a cause of a suicide�or concluding a death as a suicide without evidence."�

With this said, KCSC plans to inspect reports on the late Jonghyun that:

• used photos of a different celebrity while reporting on Jonghyun's death
• used the phrase 'found dead' when Jonghyun actually passed away after being transferred to the hospital
• described the suicide method in detail
• assumed the cause of suicide was depression (without proof)
• reported the scenes of Jonghyun's funeral processions in detail (taking photos of the celebrities at the funeral home)
