You are right, Onew's "Blue", both as a song and MV, is a masterpiece and it's full of symbolism. Not only does it tell the story of everything Onew and SHINee went through over the past few years, but it also is a sort of goodbye song to all the fans as he went off to the military, and a song to show how much Shawols' support has meant to Onew and how the fans are what gives him strength, etc. "Blue" was Onew's solo debut and it was released Dec. 5, 2018, which was less than a week before he enlisted in the military, so he didn't even have any promotional activities for this song or album. Onew officially left for the military Dec.10, 2018, so his Voice (name of the album) was meant to keep us warm in this "Blue" world for the next 18 months, until he was discharged. What a powerful sendoff Onew gave us with this song and MV. (Unfortunately, no live performances of this song yet, because he didn't want to make a big deal about his enlistment, so he just released the album and quietly went off to fulfill his duty.) As you know, SHINee are known for their vocals, and as an SM Entertainment artist it is no surprise that Onew is shocking you with his voice. How I interpret the story in the MV is it's all about the struggles Onew has gone through over the years and how he is searching for a "sense of belonging". As you know, SHINee's official symbol is a diamond, and that's the official symbol for this song and album -- a diamond with 5 faces. And, if you hold SHINee's lightstick up to a solid surface you will see the reflection the diamond makes is a five point star, with each point representing one of the members. As you may also know, SHINee's fan color is pearl aqua blue/green. So the blue light he refers to in the lyrics is talking about SHINee's blue light that represents the fans and the members and everything to do with them as a group. Hence the multiple meanings of the title of the song, "Blue." In the MV, in the beginning you see the diamond sitting on a pedestal and it is being reflected in 5 mirrors, however, one of the mirrors is cloudy or covered in dust, which probably represents Jonghyun and the fact that even though he is not with us anymore, he is still part of everything SHINee does and he is still very important to Onew. The way I see it, the blindfolded people represent Onew's scandals and how the public is judging him. They are judging him blindly, without actually seeing him, and don't even care about the truth. About a year before this, in 2017, Onew was involved in a sexual harassment scandal where he was accused of groping a girl at a nightclub when he was drunk. The story that was told is that he was extremely drunk, to the point where he couldn't even stand without help, and while trying to stand he grabbed the girl's leg. She eventually dropped the charges, but the police still investigated. Onew spent several months in seclusion, out of the public eye during the investigation and it wasn't clear whether the Korean public would ever forgive him or allow him to come back. However, he was eventually cleared of all charges, etc. And just when it looked as though SHINee would be able to get back to normal activities again, it wasn't long after that that Jonghyun died. And just to put it all into context, Onew's birthday is Dec.14 and Minho's birthday is Dec. 9 -- Jonghyun died Dec. 18, 2017. So, as you can see, a lot happened in the span of 2 years. "Blue" reflects on all of that. There are 3 fish floating in a protective glass bubble, which I see as representing the 3 remaining members -- Minho, Key and Taemin -- which Onew feels like he needs to protect as the leader and oldest of the group. The white rose is also in a box, and some say it represents the fans -- and possibly Jonghyun -- and how by putting them in a protective case Onew is saying how precious the fans (and Jonghyun) are to him and how he wants to protect them. The shooting star, represents many things -- his family, his members and fans, etc. -- that are guiding him back home, after his scandal where he lived isolated. It was almost as if he was saying he was trying to follow the star's path but then something happened that derailed him and made him lose his way -- probably Jonghyun's incident -- and for a while he was no longer able to see his "home" from afar anymore. His expression is sort of shocked and afraid, and then he sees the same people that judged him once again looking at him, but more intensely, which was represented by the fact that the blindfolded people grew and became more menacing as things started to pileup. It was almost as if they were judging him, like they were blaming him for everything that happened. And that is probably how he felt all along. But then you see the shooting star make a path directly to where he was standing, which lit up his path and allowed him to see again. The star also provided light to the diamond once again, which helped Onew finally find his way back home. Back to a place where he is starting to feel safe, accepted and loved once again. He put the diamond on the table, and in its reflection there was shown 5 diamonds. If you notice one of them is blurry ... but even though you can't see all 5 of them clearly anymore, they are still 5. I also see the fact that in the end when he puts the diamond back on the pedestal it's almost as if he is saying he is putting the fans and his members and everyone that is precious to him, etc. on a shelf for safe keeping while he is away in the military and he will be back for us once again when he comes back. I think in the end, what he is saying is that he has finally accepted everything and is starting to come to terms with it all. However, he is still not 100% OK or happy yet, but he is slowly getting there. It's the power of the light that is produced by the "diamond" -- which represents the power from the fans -- that has helped him to find his place in this "Blue" world and to come to terms with everything. That's just a little bit of what I took away from this MV, but I know there is so much more that can be discovered from it and so much more meaning behind every detail. We could probably go on for days analyzing everything and come up with multiple meanings for it all. :D Onew did pretty well with this song and album, he received some pretty good feedback for his first release from his solo debut, and we wouldn't expect anything less from a member of SHINee. :D I am so proud of him!! Onew topped iTunes charts in 28 countries, topped the world charts and was No. 1 in the U.S. with this album all soon after release -- and that was without any promotions. :D

How I interpret the story in Onew's "Dice" MV is that every time Onew rolled the dice his fate changed. That is why you saw him changing his look every time he tossed the dice. Throughout the MV, Onew tosses the dice thinking he needs to change his fate in order to find the girl and rescue her. However, in the end, as you discovered, when she steps out of the elevator, you see she also has a dice, which means she also is in control of her own fate. We discover she rolled the dice in order to defeat the monsters and to allow her to meet Onew. In the end, the girl is the one who rescues him. She didn't need Onew to save her. I think the song and MV is about taking control of your own fate, and if you don't like the circumstances you are in at the moment, just roll the dice and change things. You don't have to continue to be stuck in the situation you are in if you actively work to change it. At one point you see a monster with a smashed dice in his hand, which I think is supposed to symbolize how the monsters, or bad things in your life, don't have control of your fate. If you don't give those bad people and things control of your life, you will always have a say in how your dice is rolled and where your fate takes you. As you may have realized, the color of the monsters' masks is SHINee's fan color -- pearl aqua -- and all the blue and green colors you see in the MV also represent the fact that Onew is a member of SHINee. Before LED lights, which created a much wider range of colors, SHINee used green or blue as their fan color, so you often see one of these colors, or even all 3, in their MVs. If you haven't already, you should also check out his B-side promotional track "On the Way" comeback stage. Plus, for something with a completely different vibe, check out his pre-release song called "Way" featuring Punch, from this album, which has an official animated lyric video and a special live performance video, that came out at the end of 2021. Wait until you hear Onew perform "Dice" live. He brought live performances back to music shows with this comeback -- why waste his time recording a backing track when he has no problem singing live and he will sound even better live than the recording. Onew also has a dance practice video for "Dice". And in true SHINee style, it's fire. You should check it out. :D When it comes to Onew's solos he more often does ballads, so to longtime Shawols it was more of a shock when he released his Dice album, than his Voice album. We expected a ballad based album for his debut. However, we weren't necessarily expecting dance tracks for his next album. But that's the whole reason why Onew said he decided to go with the style he did for Dice because he wanted to do something no one was expecting and to challenge himself. (After all, he is a member of SHINee, which means he can't do exactly the same thing again.) If you didn't know, when it comes to dancing -- even though Onew is just as good of a dancer as the rest of the SHINee members -- he isn't real confident in his dancing, so it took a lot for him to step outside of his comfort zone when he chose the songs for this album. This was the first time he would be dancing by himself on stage. Although, now I think he has become a little more confident because he has held a few solo concerts and has really gained his "sea legs", so to speak, as a solo artist. (Dice was the first time he promoted solo as well because, as mentioned, he didn't promote his Voice album.)

With Blue.....i'm sure other Shawols will catch up with the meaning of the video, but "Blue" was released on Onew's 1st mini album, and right before he left for his military service. It was the 1st solo song which came after the groups really hard year of losing their member Jonghyun (who is my ULT bias). For me Blue had a meaning of the feelings of what Onew went thru that very hard year. I think there is another video out on KZbin that breaks down the Blue video as well.
