SHINee's Onew has released a new music video teaser of overwhelming scale, heightening the excitement for his comeback. Onew posted the teaser for the title track of his 5th mini-album 'TOUGH LOVE' on his official YouTube channel yesterday (the 3rd). In the video, he is seen enduring the weight of a fate imposed on him while being pushed by an unidentified sphere in a deep tunnel filled with silence. Onew repeatedly stumbles and falls due to the pain that rushes in without a break, but eventually rises again and runs forward. The video concludes with him reaching an exit where bright light shines, increasing anticipation for the main music video. Particularly, the proactive message in the lyrics 'Jump in jump in to the end of the world / Dive in dive in without fear' is unveiled for the first time, capturing both sight and sound. With a different hook from the previously released album preview, Onew's unique and captivating vocals enhance the emotional immersion over a highly addictive sound. 'TOUGH LOVE' is a song in which Onew participated in both lyrics and composition, born from close collaboration with the songwriting team. Onew is expected to expand his musical journey globally, showcasing his authenticity as a solo artist. The 5th mini-album 'TOUGH LOVE' breaks away from ordinary love stories, weaving together 'various facets of love' in a novel-like manner. Onew is determined to solidify his presence as a producer, participating in songwriting and, for the first time since his debut, in composition as well. Onew's 5th mini-album 'TOUGH LOVE' will be released on the 9th at 6 PM through various music streaming sites.
