SHINee's Onyu successfully finished his first solo world tour, which lasted about six months. Onyu held '2025-26 ONEW WORLD TOUR [ONEW THE LIVE: PERCENT (%)] ENCORE' at Olympic Park Ticket Link Live Arena in Songpa, Seoul, on January 31 and February 1. The second performance was streamed live online, broadcasted worldwide. 'ONEW THE LIVE' is Onyu's brand performance that emphasizes 'a live show you can believe and listen to.' Onyu traveled through five Asian cities, South America, Europe, and North America, singing with heartfelt sincerity and widely conveying the power of music. Onyu's perfect form, only achieved when with his fans (Chingu), left a deep impression and resonance. Especially during the finale in Seoul, the concert showcased a higher dimension of performance with new song selections and stage composition. It proved an unlimited musical spectrum and displayed Onyu's continuous growth as an artist through constant challenges. Fans responded with loud cheers, creating a warm atmosphere. Onyu heated up the stage with a rich setlist of over 20 songs, including 'Maestro,' 'Attraction (beat drum),' 'ANIMALS,' 'Yay,' and the Japanese original song fans had been wanting to hear, as well as 'Starry Night,' chosen on the spot, and the unreleased new song 'X, Oh Why?' performed only at the encore concert, showcasing Onyu's diverse charm. There were also performances with dancers in addition to the band live. Responding to the fans' enthusiastic cheers, Onyu performed 'X, Oh Why?' again as an additional encore, reaffirming his dance skills and showcasing his versatile charm as an 'all-rounder' unbound by position. Furthermore, he moved freely between the main stage and center stage, creating a 'live show you can believe and listen to' worthy of the title 'ONEW THE LIVE.' The entire performance was enhanced by meticulous direction, raising its completeness. The grand LED reminiscent of a deep sea, along with various special effects and props placed throughout the stage, maximized immersion and added visual enjoyment. After successfully concluding his first solo world tour, Onyu expressed, 'Looking at the beloved gazes of my fans, I felt, 'No matter where I go in the world, I am so loved.' I am truly happy at this moment. Everything is thanks to my fans. Happiness cannot be measured in numbers, but it is certain that my fans are my happiness. This year, I will sing with all my might so that my fans can be completely happy. I won't keep you waiting too long.' Additionally, during this encore concert, a surprise trailer video hinting at his upcoming album set to be released in March was unveiled, generating buzz. A heart-shaped object appeared with the phrase 'TOUGH LOVE' against an exotic backdrop, eventually shattering to the point of being unrecognizable, further heightening curiosity about its meaning.
