Onew of the group "SHINee" shared the efforts he put into his new solo album.
Lee Eunji's Song Plaza will feature Lee Eunji, who made a comeback with her fourth solo mini album, "CONNECTION."
On this day, Lee Eunji said, "It feels like 2025 has really started anew. This year, it feels like a different kind of new year.
I guess the album release has brought in the new year," he said.
Onew said, "There were a lot of things that happened while we were preparing.
I joined the event. We were all busy discussing when we should release the promotion schedule, but isn't this the year of the snake?
I was born in the year of the snake, so I thought this year would be a good year," he revealed.
He continued, "Up until now, while producing, I have received messages from many people saying, 'Please give me love,' and 'I hope you will be happy.'
I kept sending messages to everyone. This time, I thought a lot about the things that connected me. What makes me happy? How happy was I when I was young?
"I made this album because I wanted to give the message of 'Winner' to those who love the current era," he said of the album title.
Lee Eunji explained about the song "Winner" that they released. "I heard this. SHINee is serious about songs, so even if they receive a song, they make a lot of edits and deliberately make it sound like a dark song.
What do you think about this kind of story?" Onew replied, "This time, I think I made edits almost until the very end while preparing the album.
In the case of our title song "Winner," I wanted to show a different side of myself by filming us performing live, and I also participated in the arrangement because I wanted to do a variety of things.
"I tried a lot of different things," he said. When asked about the things he was worried about, he said, "I don't know if I can say this or that, but..."
I thought I could say, 'Be happy,' to give strength to all of you," he said, "The word I like and cherish is 'happiness.'
I thought deeply about how I could be happy. I think that being happy and conveying happiness require different ways of thinking.
Even though people you live with may not get along, when I ask a certain person, in a certain situation, to be happy, I thought a lot about how I should approach them."
Meanwhile, Onew made a comeback on the 6th with their 4th mini album "CONNECTION". A total of 6 songs were recorded, including the release preview song "Hurrah" and the title song "Winner".
Onew participated in writing the lyrics for all the songs.
