Slated for release on March 6, ‘Circle’ will mark Onew’s first full-length album. The new record is set to arrive just under a year after his sophomore mini-album ‘Dice’, which was led by the single of the same name.
‘Circle’ is currently available to pre-order via several music retailers both in and outside of South Korea, including the official SMTOWN Global Shop. Ahead of ‘Circle’’s release, Onew is set to host a three-day solo concert at Seoul’s Olympic Hall from March 3 to 5.
Onew first debuted in 2008 as a vocalist of SHINee, who went on to release hits like ‘Ring Ding Dong’, ‘Sherlock’ and ‘View’, among many others. Prior to enlisting for his mandatory military service in 2018, Onew released his debut mini-album ‘Voice’, which included the single ‘Blue’.
Following his discharge in 2020, he returned to promotional activities with SHINee, releasing their seventh studio album ‘Don’t Call Me’ and its repackaged version, ‘Atlantis’ in 2021. ‘Atlantis’ is SHINee’s most recent musical release to date, as youngest member Taemin began his military service shortly after its release.
