SHINee's Onew has launched into the preheat for his comeback by releasing a track video for his new song. Yesterday (27th), he published two types of track videos for the song 'X, Oh Why?' from his 5th mini album 'TOUGH LOVE' through the official YouTube channel. 'X, Oh Why?' was previously previewed at the Seoul encore concert '2025-26 ONEW WORLD TOUR [ONEW THE LIVE : PERCENT (%)] ENCORE,' receiving a warm response from fans. Onew captured the heat of the concert venue in two versions of the track video: vertical and horizontal. The vertical track video is an edited version of the performances from the main concert held over two days. His powerful performance, unfolding over explosive drops and uplifting beats, maximized the song's appeal. The horizontal track video features an impromptu version created in response to fan requests for an encore. Notably, Onew connected with the dancers without a microphone, fully immersing himself in the music. His meticulous consideration to present a high-quality performance for fans was heartwarming. 'X, Oh Why?' is a song in which Onew participated in the lyrics, characterized by a contrast between cold lyrics bidding farewell to 'X (Ex)' and a cheerful sound. As a track that decorates the finale of the 5th mini album 'TOUGH LOVE' with vibrant energy, it recalls his overwhelming control on stage. Onew will release the 5th mini album 'TOUGH LOVE' on March 9 at 6 PM through various music streaming sites. 'TOUGH LOVE' is an album that sheds the ordinary love story and weaves the 'various facets of love' we face in the world into a novel-like format. He is expected to solidify his presence as an artist and producer, not only participating in lyrics but also composing for the first time since his debut.
