Personal life

Onew is the only child of his parents. He became interested in music at a young age when he started to play the piano. Later, his passion inspired him to pursue a career in the music industry. Onew graduated from the Gwangmyeong Information Industry High School. In his senior year, he ranked second in his grade and held the highest national score for his high school SATs exam. He started attending Chungwoon University where he majored in broadcasting music. After receiving his bachelor's degree he continued to attend the university for his master's degree which he earned in practical music.[91]

Vocals

Onew is one of the main vocalists of Shinee and is known for his distinctively unique vocal color and for his calm and understated voice, providing the strong vocal foundation of the group with fellow member Jonghyun.[92] In June 2014, Onew underwent a vocal cord polyp removal and vocal fold mucosa reconstruction operation, which made him unable to sing for a few months.[25] In December 2014, Kim Yeon-woo, Onew's vocal coach, revealed during a radio broadcast that Onew's condition had improved after the surgery. He also confirmed that Onew's vocal range "improved and he can make sounds comfortably too".[93]

Philanthropy

In order to support Onew in the musical Rock of Ages, in 2010, his fans had donated 1.44 tons of rice, a common practice for fans in South Korea, with the expectation that the idol will then donate to a charity of their choice—Onew donated it to help feed North Korean children, which was prepared by the Child Development Program.[94] Onew also donated 770 kg of rice to children in need in South Korea in May 2010.[94] In 2016, Onew donated roughly 1.2 million won to the Korean Heart Association.[95]

Controversy

Harassment allegations

In August 2017, Onew was accused of sexual harassment. The victim stated that on August 12 in a night club in Gangnam, Onew, who was intoxicated, touched her leg two or three times as he tried to stand up, over the course of two hours while she was dancing on one of the club's multiple dancing platforms that was adjacent to where Onew was seated.[96][97] However, she acknowledged that such incidents could happen under the influence of alcohol and withdrew the charge.[98] Nevertheless, the case was forwarded to the prosecution as a recommendation for indictment without detention.[99][100] After a four-month hiatus, Onew posted a letter of apology,[101] which was accepted widely among his fans, but others called for him to step down from Shinee.[102] On April 5, 2018, SM Entertainment announced that the charges against him had been dismissed by the prosecutors.[103][104]
