SHINee's Onew opened up about the tough time he faced with anxiety and loneliness during the six months he couldn’t speak after his vocal cord surgery.

On July 27th, the Gamsung Detective channel posted a video with TWICE's Jeongyeon and SHINee's Onew

In the video, Onew explained why he joined the show, saying, "Since Jeongyeon is hosting, I thought it would be a good opportunity."

He also mentioned, "I’m currently doing solo work with a new agency and am in the middle of a fan meeting and an Asia tour."

Known to SHINee fans as the 'boring member,' Onew playfully responded to Jeongyeon's laughter, saying, "I hear I’m known for dad jokes. Why call me boring when you’re laughing?"

Onew shared a personal story about a special glove he has. He said, "This is a pitcher's glove. Around 2011, I had vocal cord surgery and couldn’t speak for about six months."

He continued, "During that time, I bought this glove and threw the ball silently. It was like a friend that helped me through my anxious and lonely days."

Onew explained, "When you first get a glove, it’s very stiff. I used a hammer to soften it." Jeongyeon responded, "Fans will really appreciate this. Thank you," showing her gratitude.
