Onew of the group SHINee.

Onew (ONEW) of the group SHINee will make his first appearance on a music show in three years.

At 6 p.m. on the 12th on Mnet ‘M Countdown’, he will appear to unveil, for the first time, the comeback stage for his fifth mini album ‘TOUGH LOVE (Tough Love)’ and its title track of the same name. In particular, it has been about three years since Onew appeared on a music show following his first full-length album ‘Circle’, which is adding to the anticipation.

‘TOUGH LOVE’ is a song that carries a progressive message that, because one loves, one endures all pain and awakens potential, and Onew not only wrote the lyrics but also, for the first time since his debut, took part in composing, earning reviews that he proved his musical capability.

It features Onew in his signature lyrical vocal style that heightens emotional immersion, and the powerful drop in the chorus boasts a high level of addictiveness that is hard to forget after a single listen. For this comeback stage, Onew is said to have prepared a surprise performance that can capture both the eyes and ears of fans, drawing intense attention.

With his fifth mini album ‘TOUGH LOVE’, Onew is demonstrating overwhelming global popularity by topping charts at home and abroad as soon as he made his comeback. Immediately after release, the album reached No. 1 on the iTunes ‘Top Albums’ chart in nine countries and regions around the world, including Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Indonesia, Japan, Chile, Taipei, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, and the title track of the same name, ‘TOUGH LOVE’, also placed No. 1 on the TOP100 of Bugs, a major domestic music site.
