SHINee member Onew has set New York ablaze and successfully took the first step in the North American tour.
Onew held a solo concert '2025 ONEW CONCERT [ONEW THE LIVE : CONNECTION] IN USA' (hereafter 'CONNECTION') in New York on 24th (local time).
'CONNECTION' is a brand performance newly launched by Onew, and fittingly titled 'THE LIVE,' it provides trusted live performances at each show, captivating global fans.
On this day, Onew started with 'Focus,' followed by hits like 'DICE,' 'O (Circle),' and 'Attraction (beat drum),' along with an impromptu performance of 'Song of the Night and Stars' with fans, raising the heat of the venue. Moreover, Onew also showcased his recently released first English single 'MAD,' engaging closely with global fans.
In particular, local audiences passionately sang along to all of Onew's songs throughout the performance and even enthusiastically followed the Korean support chant, evoking the value of 'consolidation' beyond language. Onew also communicated sincerely in the local language, warmly coloring the concert hall.
Onew, who sold out the New York concert, said, "Thanks to the great support and cheers from New York fans, I am starting the North American tour with vigor. No matter where I am, I feel connected to fans through music. I will continue to work hard to be able to share my voice more in the future."
Meanwhile, Onew, who successfully kicked off the North American tour in New York, is set to continue 'CONNECTION' in Detroit on the 26th, followed by Washington D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
