SHINee member Onew successfully kicked off his North American tour in New York. According to his agency, Griffin Entertainment, on the 26th, Onew held a solo concert titled ‘Onew The Live: Connection’ in New York on the 24th (local time). ‘Connection’ is a brand-new performance series by Onew, delivering live performances that fans can trust and enjoy, capturing global fans’ hearts fittingly under the title ‘The Live.’ On this day, Onew heated up the atmosphere by singing ‘Song of Night and Stars’ with fans, a song not on the setlist, in addition to his hit songs like ‘Focus,’ ‘DICE,’ ‘O (Circle),’ and ‘Beat Drum.’ Furthermore, Onew closely interacted with global fans by performing his recent English single ‘MAD’ on stage. Throughout the show, local audiences passionately sang along to all of Onew’s songs and even enthusiastically followed the cheering methods in Korean, revitalizing the value of ‘connection’ beyond language barriers. Having sold out all seats for the New York show, Onew is scheduled to continue ‘Connection’ in Detroit on the 26th, followed by Washington D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Onew expressed his gratitude, saying, ‘Thanks to the great support and cheers from New York Jingoo (fandom name), I am starting my North American tour energetically.
