The group SHINee member ONEW transformed into a "love counselor" for fans.
ONEW held a solo fan meeting, 2026 ONEW FANMEETING 'TOUGH LOVE' in SEOUL (hereinafter 'TOUGH LOVE'), at KBS Arena in Gangseo District, Seoul on the 11th.
'TOUGH LOVE' was a solo fan meeting held under the same title as ONEW's fifth mini album, and under the subtitle "love counselor," ONEW carried out more intensive communication with fans.
That day, ONEW opened with "Beonjyeo (gradation)" and followed with a variety of stages including "TOUGH LOVE," "X, Oh Why?", and "Make ONEW-like," proving once again his wide musical spectrum from sweet ballads to powerful performances.
In particular, ONEW premiered "Dot dot dot (...)" at this fan meeting, raising the venue's excitement to a peak. The R&B track, which combined a minimal beat with ONEW's sensuous vocals, brought a pleasant flutter.
Not only on stage, ONEW also showed lively chemistry with MC Jaejae, who joined as an assistant counselor, making the atmosphere even more cheerful. While presenting various corners that combined music and talk, in the random dance challenge corner ONEW showed composure by readily responding to Jaejae's requests for extra poses.
After performing the choreography challenge for Crush's "Miwo (Ego)," ONEW responded to Jaejae's song request with an impromptu live performance, drawing enthusiastic cheers from fans. In the forbidden word game corner, Jaejae did not miss a chance to continuously give punishments, and ONEW playfully carried them out, creating a heartwarming scene.
Also, during the heart relay game ONEW moved into the audience, narrowing the distance with fans. In line with the "love counselor" concept, he offered wholehearted comfort and empathy by solving fans' worries.
ONEW said, "It felt like it passed in an instant, so fast that I don't know how time went by. I hope the feelings we shared today make each other even warmer. I love you."
Meanwhile, after completing fan meetings in Taipei and Seoul, ONEW will continue solo fan meetings in Hong Kong on Apr. 18, Osaka on Apr. 24-26, and Tokyo on May 13-14.
