SHINee’s Onew continues to captivate the global music scene with his latest solo release, Flow, topping iTunes charts in 26 regions. According to SM Entertainment, his third solo EP claimed the No. 1 spot not only on the iTunes Top Albums chart but also on the Worldwide iTunes Albums chart, further cementing his position as a successful solo artist beyond his activities with SHINee.

In celebration of the album’s success, Onew released a live performance video of the EP’s title track, “Beat Drum,” on his YouTube channel. The live version of the song was rearranged to best suit a band setup, showcasing his versatile musicality. Fans can look forward to seeing Onew perform tracks from Flow live at his upcoming solo fan concert Hola!, which will take place in Seoul in October and later in Japan in November.

Adding to the excitement surrounding Onew’s comeback, a special pop-up store will be set up from October 5 to 15, offering fans exclusive merchandise to commemorate the release of the EP.

Meanwhile, fellow SHINee member Taemin has also been active with his own solo projects. On Wednesday, Taemin unveiled the music video for “Horizon,” the lead track from his fifth solo EP Eternal. The dance-driven tune is paired with another single, “Sexy In The Air,” both of which have already gained significant attention from fans since the album’s release last month.

Taemin recently kicked off his first solo tour with a two-day concert in Korea, solidifying his position as a powerful solo artist. With both Onew and Taemin making waves in the music industry through their solo ventures, SHINee continues to prove its enduring influence on the K-pop landscape.
