On March 24th, the YouTube channel “Saego F5” released a video titled “Instead of the Stage, We Tried Chili’s Cheese Sticks.” In the video, Onew appeared as a guest.
During the episode, Onew spoke about a time during his promotions when his physical condition had severely declined. Known for having a sweet tooth, he shared, “For a while, I couldn’t eat proper meals. I replaced meals with sweets. My body was in a very bad state,” recalling the difficult period.
Explaining the cause of his sudden health decline, he said, “Due to irregular eating habits and lack of rest, my stamina dropped drastically, and eventually, it became difficult to even maintain my daily condition.” In fact, in 2023, Onew temporarily halted activities after undergoing medical examinations and being advised to focus on rest and treatment. Reflecting on his past lifestyle, he emphasized that he now pays much more attention to proper meals and maintaining his overall condition.
Onew debuted in 2008 as a member of SHINee and gained immense popularity with hits such as “Replay,” “Ring Ding Dong,” “Lucifer,” and “Sherlock (Clue + Note).” He later expanded his career into musicals like “Midnight Sun” and various drama appearances. Starting with his first solo album in 2018, he has also established a solid presence as a solo artist.
Meanwhile, Onew is set to hold his solo fan meeting “2026 Onew Fanmeeting ‘Tough Love’ in Seoul” on April 11. He also drew attention after his self-written and composed track “Tough Love” ranked No.1 on domestic music charts.
