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.”
