“Good day to all, this is SM Entertainment.
We would like to extend our deep gratitude for your unwavering support for SHINee. Today, we wish to update you about member Onew’s health situation and the future promotion plans of SHINee.
In the aftermath of the grand 15th-anniversary fan meeting in May, SHINee’s members have successfully put the finishing touches on their much-anticipated 8th full album. They were in the midst of starting rehearsals for their upcoming solo concert in June.
Regrettably, Onew has been witnessing a downturn in his health condition. Seeking professional advice, he underwent a thorough check-up and consultation, where he received strong recommendations to rest and undergo treatment.

There’s no denying that the much-anticipated SHINee’s comeback has been a heartfelt wish, one that the members and fans have been eagerly looking forward to for quite a while. However, this decision is primarily intended to ensure SHINee’s longevity, enabling them to continue to shine brightly, robustly, and actively, for the years to come.
