ONEW 온유 'O (Circle)' MV | Reaction

[@tackylovesong]

I definitely cried both because I was proud that Onew finally has his full length release and a further opportunity to solidify his sound / communicate his vision. But also because there is simple, accessible, genuine beauty in this song. A+ Jinki 💗

[@mulo8174]

i read it on Twitter...the most devastated in this MV he included the symbols of all SHINee's members, like dinosaurs is Jonghyun, a soccer ball is Minho, Key is key (ofc) and the mushroom is taemin (Taemin hair when their debuted), he really loves his members dearly he walks his journey as SHINee together ..and i think he mentioned in the lyric that said green emerald (Shinee color maybe) means also Shinee world (their fans) , overall his life from young till today.. and the director of this MV said the cat on the MV is his cat who is no longer in his life and he has such a hard time accepting it but eventually moved on..and ONEW song reflects that good, bad can happen in a circle..sometimes good sometimes bad.. and yes this is 10/10..the lyrics is so on point..and its beautiful

[@camilamc-gm1cu]

I was looking for the meaning,thank you😢 this made me so emotional😭😭

[@bluie2889]

wow, thank you for explaining and sharing with so much love!

[@millowmellow9475]

Same I felt the song was short but it’s probably because I didn’t want it to end, it’s so beautiful and healing. The songs and the lyrics and even the mv are haunting yet hopeful and soothing I can’t explain it well and everything from the song & his voice to the choir to the lyrics and to the mv showed the circle or the cycle of life in a beautiful way His album is structured in a beautiful way too, it starts with songs reflecting winter then later on reflecting spring & summer then it ends with songs reflecting fall like a cycle and it is just very well thought of and beautiful. The albums has been on repeat for me

[@mathtd14]

This album need to be on repeat, each songs are beautiful.

[@gkartworker1062]

I'm so happy you reacted to Onew, he is really talented

[@onewsfalsetto9439]

he ripped my heart out and hugged it.

[@markmybirds]

As an old SHAWOL watching the video and reading the lyrics deeply and seeing the SHINee members' symbolism and seeing the Dinosaurs for our late Raptor.. I just bawled in emotional mom. Onew has always been the bias. His voice is unreal.

[@JoyNova]

Circle is so hauntingly beautiful in combination with the mv, I was balling my eyes out once the choir hit.

[@doro_drop_bear]

I wasn't ready for the choir either 😩😭

[@nydiacid8848]

The thing I love the most about Onew and his voice is how much feeling he can convey with it. He makes you feel exactly what he's feeling and singing about at the moment. Is so powerful, so wonderful, that's why I don't listen that much to Blue (his first release that you should definitely check out some time in the future, even if it in your personal time) cuz it makes me feel sad lol and I only specifically listen to it when I need to cry uwu yeah, Onew is that kind of singer♡ I'm glad you reacted to this, Onew deserves more recognition, thank you!!

[@meemzzz]

Onew stated that he wanted to deliver an album based on the type of songs that he likes and boy, did he deliver! Each track has a different genre style that’s all encapsulated on this cohesive well thought out album! I absolutely love it and it’s fits my type of music! I can’t even tell how the impression Circle has left on me. I don’t believe I’ve heard any kartist release such a track like this yet and it’s so damn refreshing to hear! Thank you for this reaction, I loved that you enjoyed it too!

[@gargisingh4411]

This song really feels holy.. I love how different is this from any kpop song..trust SHINee for doing anything so experimental and out of way. So proud of them.

[@gigiflipp]

“What I needed” is exactly it, this choir sound is epic and makes me goosebump-ey, love his voice

[@CR-ug3be]

I feel like it is short because the final part of the song is literally the introduction instrumental and you can go back and play the song all over again like a circle. That's the point and it made the point.

[@PantzLuvzKpop]

Jinki took me to church and all these other places. I definitely needed to go to church after all the unholy thoughts I had with the string of SHINee Solo releases and all the teaser photos for this comeback and Jinki's solo concert too! 🔥 Thank you so much for showing love to the SHINee men. I've enjoyed watching your reactions 😄

[@camt3945]

Thank you SO MUCH for reacting to Onew's Circle!! I'm glad you enjoyed it too!! 🥹 I felt like I couldn't breathe while watching the MV or even just listening to the song itself hahaha and it STILL felt short (and I already saw his performance from his concert 😅). I hope you enjoy the full album and the other tracks from DICE when you listen to it and will look forward to seeing your reactions whenever it's out (absolutely NO RUSH!)! I'm honestly just grateful that you share your time and reactions with us; seeing your reactions, your joy and love for music, is so infectious and delightful.

[@perlapena74]

I hope more people can listen to this song, Onew's voice is almost healing

[@hazeln.sierra8157]

Caitlin!!! Thanks for this reaction!!! I’m sooo happy you are getting more into SHINee and SM artis overall 😭🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Onew always gets me emotional. He has a way of pulling my heart strings with his voice and the emotion he gives! 🥹 he is my favorite vocal!

[@monikafiegle7547]

You just said it! You don't know you needed this song or actually the whole album until you listened to it 🥰☺ I let Onew sing to me the whole day on repeat - so wholesome

[@bluie2889]

onew is just on another level, he's even IU's favorite male singer indeed, thank you for the reaction!

[@ondubutokki6346]

CIRCLE is very beautifully haunting ♡ the lyrics are really beautiful

[@mariahgunn7101]

Such a beautiful song that I can’t stop listening to.

[@mathtd14]

For me the entire album is a masterpiece. It is My FAV Onew album. Calming and powerfull. I really jope you will like the entire album. Some details, for Shawols, are made to include SHINee in the clip (as The little Dinausors for JongHyun as Dino was one of his nicknames, soccer ballon for Minho because o f his love for sports, Mushroom for Taemin and there are some Keys at one moment for Key ... ) For me, the rose is also a reminder because for their last group concert back in 2018, the From Nowon concert in memoriam of JongHyun, for the last song , they pu roses on their mic stand and Roses were the favorite flower of JongHyun. In each solo work, if we pay attention, we can see or hear something about the group. That's so lovely. Love your work Cait

[@Yennipa]

wow, thank you for the explanation. It felt like an artistic tribute to his members with hidden meanings, but I wasn't able to make the symbolic connections. Thank you again. 💙

[@mathtd14]

@@Yennipa there is no problem 💖

[@orangejam2645]

Ooooh, I'm so glad you enjoyed Circle, i hope you'll enjoy the album. I checked it out like after midnight and oof, it really has those late evening vibes to after midnight, idk how to explain but it has a chill blue evening vibes at the balcony with wine and a couple of friends or a night ride in the highway. Anyway, thank you for checking onew out, much love ❤️

[@talisharoberts3733]

Caitlin as a hardcore Shawol for over 11 years I can say that SHINee's music is nothing short of amazing. You will be blown away by their discography. I have been following you for a while and I have a feeling for which albums and songs you will like the most lol Now also as an MVP (Onew biased) I am so in love with this song. It gives me a weird mixture of sadness and excitement. I love all of the emption Onew is able to portray in his voice.

[@justsammi9285]

Onew is one of the loves of My life and I am insanely proud of him for not only this song but his first full album. The album itself is amazing. Lee Jinki moves me in a way no other idol has and I love watching him grow as a person and an artist. Thank you for this reaction.

[@tiffytiffamanda1217]

When I first heard the song I liked it a lot BUT then I played it in the car, and I was like WAIT A MINUTE...YAAASSSSS!!! It is the choir for me with his voice and the initial beat drop! I watched it twice and played it non-stop yesterday as I was driving. But then I was watching it with you, and I was tearing up. This song is great. The album is great. Personally, I may like the DICE album more... maybe for now lol. I think you would too (like deadass no rush LMAO). Thank you for your reaction :)

[@yodream1248]

Same with you, Circle was truly the song I never thought I needed. I can’t wait for you to react to the whole album, knowing you and your love for acoustic guitar, you’ll probably have a hard time picking a favorite song from the bsides.

[@acetobase5]

Yes I’m so happy and same it felt so short to me too I wanted it to go on for longer. This song is so healing and the entire album is so good. I’m so in love with everything about this cb

[@hopelesstaemintic]

OMG I love that you got to react to this and Circle is now in your life! I think there is something infinite about the way it feels and Onew's voice is so soulful. I know you will adore the album. Thank you for checking out our SHINee boys. They are almost back! 2023 is definitely going to be heavily pearl aqua 💎💎💎💎💎

[@carlaa.a.9705]

I love Onew so much!!! He has such a powerful, beautiful voice and he is soooo angelic, I just love everything about him.

[@shanbeauty4193]

Onew slay!!!!!! The choir took us all my surprise n it was Heavenly 😇😇😇❤🎉

[@letthemeatkpop]

It’s a beautiful existential crisis. Shinee boys are only capable of greatness. ❤

[@Mariana_Zp]

I cried the first time I was so touched 😭

[@avotia]

Oh Caitlin. Thank you! Love your reaction. I agree with you I have the same feeling from this song.)))

[@halmu1227]

I just know he’ll preform this with a huge choir some day and go even harder than the song

[@sapphics.4Loona]

the whole circle album is a absolute masterpiece day 2 & i’m literally obsessed with every track ♥︎

[@coni4kpop]

I cried with this song, I love this song so much, It's a MASTERPIECE, thank you for this reaction Caitlin.

[@camilamc-gm1cu]

Onew's voice is healing his voice give me so much peace❤

[@yamijimenes7268]

A beautiful song with a beautiful soul

[@cocotaem5101]

Glad you reacted to this song! It’s so beautiful and very much in line with him. He’s a contemplative guy at heart and I’m so glad he’s choosing to portray this side a bit more in his music again. Probably my favourite song so far.

[@anastasyavie6236]

I've been obsessed with this new album and omg, I just love how he sounds in all of the songs

[@majaherold1325]

This song is so good. SO GOOD

[@autop1lot_]

the song was definitely a spiritual experience and the lyrics😭

[@eliwolffang9139]

Caitlin thank you so much for this reaction😪🤚🏼 your reaction is the best that I’ve seen, I love that you are in it enough to recognize the complexities of the emotions that he’s betraying that it’s not just like a simple ballad typa song but that you also feel the weight of this song😮‍💨 it’s very validating because this song made me cry when I first heard it and I didn’t expect that to happen, and then I did and I was like 🧎🏻🧎🏻🧎🏻

[@lovepotionsinc]

I think Onew's song 'Way' with Punch leans a bit gospel towards the end with the choir. You should check it out if you haven't already. Very emotionally uplifting.

[@astrotuffin]

Thank you for reacting to Onew. I've always loved his voice and I really feel this new album is very him. It really is a beautiful song and I feel ya when you said it felt short because ya get so into it. Always love your reactions!

[@rifkikiki6410]

Thank you so much for reacting to Onew's Circle, Caitlin! ㅠㅠ The song is really beautiful, isn't it? There will be live performance with contemporary dance and it's really beautiful too! Definitely recommend you to listen to thw whole album, no preassure to react to them or anything. Just give them a listen and enjoy them, truly a masterpiece album ☺️ There is this favorite song of mine from this album named "Always." You should listen to that one with lyrics on to grasp its beautiful meaning. I hope you're having a good day 🩵

[@Anarchygirl2000]

This really was such a great song and one I'm glad he chose for a title track since it wouldn't be the norm. Really excited to see you check out the album! I always love your in depth analysis and excitement for the songs.

[@heyscalefin]

This was an experience, for sure. I agree 10/10.

[@onepiecedaisuki97]

Thank you for reacting to Onew Circle I do agree with what you said, it does feels like a gospel song and sad but also inspiring Please do listen to the full album, all of the songs are great, it is a no skip album for me

[@30xine]

Thank you for this reaction!!

[@scarsinapansy]

Onew making us emotional with that beautiful voice and THE LYRICSS OMGGG!! Thank you so much for reacting to Onew's Circle MV, Caitlin!❤

[@shawolanian]

Definitely haunting! I hope you get to enjoy his new album! All the tracks are worthy of a listen! I’ve been hoping your friend would convince you to do a review coz it will def heal your soul!!!

[@Ana-sx2lb]

🥺 thank you for reacting to Onew's Circle. He wanted to do music that he personally enjoys this time. I'm so proud of him. And he he has been consistently saying that he wants his music and his voice to give warmth and happiness to those who listen to it. The whole album is so good that i am finding it hard to pick my top bside choice. But 'Always' for me is a song that feels like a tight hug so i think it's in my top list...for now. Hope you enjoy his album and i hope it will also give you warmth and comfort just like how it did to me. ❤️

[@AEB72112]

First to post??? Onew? Girl....you got me learning SO many kpop groups/singers I've never heard of! Then I realized...He's SHINEE!!! I just now watched a video to "meet Ateez", because I saw their cyberpunk video & thought "WTF'!?!" Greatly appreciate your videos!! Currently having a health crisis & really appreciate your ability to take my mind elsewhere. ❤❤❤ I still can't recover from Key's video GASOLINE.... 👀

[@stephkais5613]

Loved ur reaction. I am with you, I wanted Onew to give some Onew level vocals with the chior in the background. I have a feeling may be saving that for some live performances, because that's where all Shinee members truly shine. I also couldn't beleive that the song was 3 and half minutes, it felt like two minutes top. Song was otherworldly.

[@oso...]

I'm so happy you decided to check this out! It's really so, so beautiful, and so emotional for some reason. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the album because DANG it's really so good 😭🫶

[@mariammesxi731]

I'm crying always, when i listen this 🥹 I'm so proud for him ❤️ thanks for your reaction ♥️

[@aquashine93shawol4life8]

I was praying so hard that you would react to this MV and you did!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ONEW's Circle is such a beautiful song that needs to be heard by a so many people.

[@restlessmelody]

glad you loved it, the album flows so well and is so beautiful no skip 10/10 you’ll love im sure it’s so pretty and floaty to me. shinee boys don’t miss. 4/5 members with full albums so far 5/5 with mini albums 👏🏻

[@lissurko5267]

The song and music video made me so emotional, there is a genuine safe space within it. I felt like I was being healed, especially with the lyrics

[@dubumynthe]

So happy that you reacted to O ♥ Thank you for appreciating Onew!! ♥Looking forward to watching you do the whole album some time, it is amazing and I think you will love quite a few of the songs on it~

[@sales327]

I'm so with you I just wanted more and more. Thank you for this reaction MV! Highly recommend back listening to his past albums and especially BLUE has a bit of the dramatic tone of Circle. And also the groups other songs! 💖

[@imin.a]

Thank you for cheking up on Onew, this album is so good. Hope u'll like the rest of the b-sides

[@eszeezee6967]

I hate it that it's short but I'm glad it's short, coz I need to stop crying.

[@lisaswenson1999]

6:56 Lol I had the same thought when I listened to the entire album 🙃🥲

[@kathy3459]

First, I want to say we understand you have your regular groups to react to, so we appreciate when you make time for SHINee and Onew! Second, you were literally me when I first saw this MV. He's not playing fair with us, having that voice and those visuals🤩. So many people said this is the song you didn't know you needed, until you listened. I promise that with 10 tracks, there will be more songs you like. I love that he's doing his own sound, the way he wants to! Finally a slightly off topic theory about this MV. There's strong evidence that it shows items representing each SHINee member, bunnies for Jinki, dinosaurs for our dino, keys for Key, soccer ball for Minho and the mushrooms resemble Taemins bowl cut, from their debut video.🥰

[@jyo1900]

Love your reaction ❤

[@lusciousvampire9787]

I love all of Shinee so much, so thank you for taking the time to review their releases. 🥰Their comeback is this May which will coincide with their 15th Anniversary so it should be pretty great!🥳 If you're looking for more gospel feel stuff x Shinee, I highly recommend Taemin's "Holy Water" on the album TAEMIN, it's soooo good.

[@ondubutokki6346]

Thankyou so much for the reaction ♡

[@jinkisyellowsuit]

thanks for reacting!!! ❤️‍🩹

[@belle_bunn7835]

[@neenahskies7530]

The way I was watching your NCT show reaction and then saw you uploaded this and I clicked so fast! The song is so beautiful and it feels so healing to me! Thank you for reacting to it and I hope you enjoy the album as well, it's so beautiful as well! Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@umarekomal3389]

You should check out SHINEE BALLADS & R&B live performances...I'm sure you'll like it....their ballads are the most beautiful thing🤞

[@jonghyunoutdid]

If you’re thinking of doing a shinee marathon again, these are some songs I recommend (check out some of the live performances too!!!) - password (live) -excuse me miss (live) -stranger (live!!) -dynamite (DEFINITELY LIVE.) -SHERLOCK. -an ode to you -Juliette -Amigo -Dream girl (check out the famous dream girl encore too!!)

[@nengaudrey]

The other song that sounds gospel is The Cure by SM Leaders. I feel like in a choir when I listened to it~

[@veronicashawol2180]

Esa misma sensación yo creo que la sentimos todas, no sabíamos si reír o llorar, pero Circle es un mundo de emociones. Ve en secreto los clips del concierto que tuvo hace poco, te va a encantar jeje
