Group SHINee member Onew has revealed the concept photos for the ‘SPACE’ version of their 4th mini album ‘CONNECTION’.

The photos contain Onew‘s imaginary space and his real space. Onew is seen walking through an unrealistic forest of buildings, while at the same time taking control of the backstage with a solemn air. He proved his versatile ability to stylishly pull off various outfits.

In this way, Onew has heightened the comeback fever by sequentially revealing four versions of the concept photos that substitute his inner and outer self with his imaginary and real self, respectively. Onew’s appearance, which crosses between imagination and reality, ultimately shows that everything is organically connected.

‘CONNECTION’ is Onew‘s fourth mini album to be released under his name. While experiencing Onew’s diverse charms that have never been seen before, he is expected to once again capture the eyes and ears of fans at home and abroad with a message of connection that anyone can relate to.

Onew‘s 4th mini-album ‘CONNECTION’ will be released through various music sites at 6 PM on January 6, 2025. To commemorate the release of the album, Onew will hold the ‘ONEW 4TH EP [CONNECTION] POP-UP CAFE’ from January 2 to 12 at the Soundwave Cafe at The Hyundai in Seoul. The pop-up cafe will be decorated with two concepts: ‘CONNECTION’.
