• SHINee's Onew talks about silent struggles after vocal cord surgery in 2011

    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.

  • BTS’s Jin surprises fans by dressing as an alien on stage and RM secretly watches from the crowd at Coldplay’s final Korea concert

    BTS’s Jin made a fun and unforgettable surprise appearance at Coldplay’s final concert in Korea—this time dressed as an alien!

    On April 25 at the Goyang Sports Complex, Coldplay held their last show in Korea as part of their "Music of the Spheres" world tour. Fans were thrilled when Jin walked on stage wearing an alien mask and even pulled off a quick outfit change right in front of the crowd, making fans laugh and cheer.

    Jin performed “The Astronaut”—his special collab song with Coldplay—for the second time during their Korea stop, and also joined them for “My Universe.” The audience went wild not just for Jin, but also when they spotted BTS leader RM quietly supporting his member from the crowd, showing off their strong friendship.

    This concert wasn’t just about Coldplay—it became a huge gathering of K-pop stars. TWICE appeared as the main guest for the Seoul shows, Jin performed on the 19th and again on the 25th, and BLACKPINK’s Rosé surprised fans on the 22nd. Even Coldplay’s Chris Martin made fans smile by acting out the viral sun meme, and G-Dragon was seen in the audience too!

    Now that Jin has completed his military service, fans are excited for what’s next. He’s already gaining attention through the hit Netflix show “Physical: 100 – Underground”, and he's expected to start his solo activities soon. J-Hope, who’s also completed his service, is currently traveling to meet fans around the world.

    Meanwhile, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are still serving in the military, and SUGA is fulfilling his social service duty. All members of BTS are expected to finish their service by June, and fans are already counting down the days until the full group is back together again.

    The concert also saw many stars in attendance like Gong Hyo Jin, Ryeo Won, Jung Hae In, and Code Kunst, proving once again that Coldplay’s show was a star-studded event from start to finish.
