Detailed Calculation of Time Elapsed

Here's a precise breakdown of the time that has passed:

  • Full Years Elapsed:

    • From December 18, 2017, to December 18, 2018: 1 year
    • ... (and so on for subsequent years) ...
    • From December 18, 2022, to December 18, 2023: 6 years
      Therefore, 6 full years have passed.
  • Remaining Months and Days (from December 18, 2023, to May 14, 2024):

    • December 18, 2023, to January 18, 2024: 1 month

    • January 18, 2024, to February 18, 2024: 1 month

    • February 18, 2024, to March 18, 2024: 1 month

    • March 18, 2024, to April 18, 2024: 1 month
      This accounts for 4 full months.

    • Now, calculating the remaining days from April 18, 2024, to May 14, 2024:

      • Days remaining in April (April has 30 days): 30 - 18 = 12 days.
      • Days passed in May: 14 days (up to May 14th).
      • Total remaining days: 12 + 14 = 26 days.

Combining these periods, the exact duration since Jonghyun's death is 6 years, 4 months, and 26 days.
