SHINee's ONEW will release his 2nd mini-album "SAKU" in Japan on October 1 (Wednesday). This Japanese edition is his first release in about three years since the previous work "Life goes on." Ahead of the release, a trailer was released today (18th) at midnight. The trailer features ONEW during the jacket photo shoot for this work. The mini-album "SAKU" is produced with the concept of the Japanese word "(flowers) bloom," and each of the five songs tells a story related to flowers, creating a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere like a bouquet from ONEW. Additionally, as a purchase benefit, events such as a face-to-face signing session, two-shot photo session, one-on-one video call session, and a sound check viewing at Budokan have been decided. In October, the "2025 ONEW WORLD TOUR [ONEW THE LIVE : PERCENT (%)] IN JAPAN" will also be held at Budokan, marking a 3-day performance there for the first time in three years. We can't take our eyes off ONEW's future activities. ◆ ONEW's Comment: "People are flowers, meaning they fit well with nature. I want to share the emotions discovered within that.
