SHINee's Onew expressed pride in his voice.

On September 5, Onew appeared as a guest on KBS Cool FM’s 'Park Myung Soo’s Radio Show,' promoting his solo album.

Recently, Onew made a comeback with his 3rd mini-album, 'FLOW.' Speaking about the charm of the title track, Onew shared, “While making the song, I realized I was forgetting my own charm. I created the song with the thought that since everyone has their unique appeal, they can positively influence others wherever they are.”

This album also features Onew rapping. He explained, “While doing a demo recording, I considered removing the rap part, but since it was short, I decided to give it a try. It felt like it could be a good part,” so he kept the rap section in the final version.

When asked about his members' reactions to the album, Onew said, “I played it for them while we did the challenge together, and they said it was exciting. They liked it because it’s different from my previous songs, so I felt good.” Member Minho especially praised the song during one of Onew’s live broadcasts, saying he really liked it.

Park Myung Soo added, “I like the song. With fall university events coming up, I think it would be great if you could perform it at many places.”

Park Myung Soo then asked Onew what he thought about his own voice. Onew honestly confessed, “In the past, I couldn’t do impressions or mimic voices, and it became a trauma for me. Everyone else could do it, but I couldn’t.”

However, Onew said that after receiving compliments about his voice, he regained his confidence. “Now I think my voice is a treasure.”

Park Myung Soo added, “Even IU gave you high praise. She said, ‘If I were a man, I’d want to sing like Onew. He doesn’t try too hard to be stylish, but he touches the heart with sincerity.’”

Onew responded humorously, saying, “She really has a good eye for people.”

Onew also shared his method for taking care of his voice. He mentioned that he drinks water frequently, saying, “I drink up to 4 liters a day. I go to the bathroom a lot, but I think keeping my voice hydrated is the best.”

Super Junior’s Shindong has opened up about his breakup after three and a half years of dating.

On the April 1 episode of SBS’s Dolsing Fourmen, Super Junior members Shindong and Eunhyuk brought their signature humor while discussing everything from weight loss struggles to dating and even retirement jokes.

During the episode, Tak Jae Hoon jokingly pointed out Shindong’s fluctuating weight, making him laugh. “People always ask me, ‘Are you in the process of gaining or losing weight?’” he said.

Eunhyuk was also asked if he was dieting for Super Junior’s upcoming 20th-anniversary activities. “Even the members don’t know,” he replied. Meanwhile, Shindong shared something unexpected, saying, “This is the first time I’m saying this—I actually quit drinking a week ago. I just started, so I’m not at the stage to talk about it yet.”

Eunhyuk then addressed a past comment where he jokingly promised to retire if his first solo album won first place. “I didn’t expect to win, especially since IVE was my competition,” he admitted. But to his surprise, he did win, leading fellow member Donghae to even hold up a “Retire” sign at the celebration, making everyone laugh.

Shindong also pointed out an interesting fact about Eunhyuk’s win. “Nowadays, idols release digital albums, so their album sales score is zero. But Eunhyuk had high physical album sales, and that one factor pushed him to first place.” Hearing this, Tak Jae Hoon teased, “No excuses—just retire,” to which Eunhyuk laughed, “It was fun while it lasted.”

Later, while joking about idol visuals, Shindong playfully said, “Honestly, Eunhyuk is the ugliest idol I’ve ever seen,” making everyone burst into laughter. Eunhyuk also shared how he was once called anchovy for his slim figure but later earned the nickname muscle anchovy after working out.

The conversation then shifted to Super Junior’s wealthiest member, with Eunhyuk confirming that it’s none other than Choi Siwon. Comedian Kim Jun Ho added, “I once asked Leeteuk for Siwon’s number, and Leeteuk said, ‘Wait, I need to ask him first.’” Shindong explained that Super Junior members are now extra cautious because of past incidents where a fan impersonated someone and leaked their phone numbers.

When it came to dating, Shindong was asked if he had ever revealed or been caught dating. “I got caught every time. I’m just not good at hiding it,” he admitted, making everyone laugh. Eunhyuk agreed, “Yeah, he doesn’t really try to hide it.” Shindong clarified, “I don’t purposely expose it, but I somehow always get caught.”

Then, Shindong unexpectedly dropped some personal news. “Speaking of updates, I actually broke up with my girlfriend last April. Since I didn’t announce it, people kept leaving comments asking if I got divorced.”

Lee Sang Min was surprised, saying, “But last time you were on Dolsing Fourmen, you said you had a girlfriend.” Shindong confirmed, “Yeah, we broke up. We dated for about three and a half years. It was tough, but we decided to support each other’s paths. It was a good breakup.”

Meanwhile, Eunhyuk surprised everyone by revealing that he shares his phone password with his girlfriend, shocking the other cast members.

With Super Junior’s 20th anniversary coming up, fans are excited to see what’s next for the legendary group.
