to your comment on how Onew perceives himself as an artist, Key in the circle reaction preview said Jinki was looking for his sound, and with circle he found it. jinki was exploring and trying new things with dice. circle sound is onew.

[@coni4kpop]

The title track is a MASTERPIECE, I cried with that song, Onew is just an AMAZING singer, I love his voice so much, thank you Sir Austin for this reaction.

[@ravishupadhyaya4024]

It's a masterpiece It's my solo album of the year

[@scarletfortiz3306]

I here because of ONEW and every SHINee content. Shawols forever 💎💎💎💎💎❣️

[@Rwin1993]

So proud of him

[@jenniferbl8011]

Best vocalist in KPop in my opinion ❤

[@sales327]

Totally agree! The entire album is so nuanced and like I could listen to a certain song for a certain mood. The title track is so unique and holy. Can't wait to see this performed in the music shows cuz it's not expected for an idol and I love that about him. Thank you for reacting to this! :)

[@keira9737]

Onew said he was involved in about every part of the making. He did pick the songs, his lyrics were declined lol. Also said this album is a style/songs he like. I think he doesn’t want to be put into one genre but ONEW IS THE GENRE. He is a singer so he will sing all types of genres and serve all kinds of vocals.

[@Ana-sx2lb]

Yes, the one who did scat and adlibs was onew 👌

[@justjinkisjinggu8326]

Circle truly is a no-skip masterpiece! His Onew Note Beyond Live concert will re-stream next month, it really is worth a watch. There are so many fancams, I hope you find the Cold Dubu Sexy portion of the concert: Expectations, Beauty, And No Parachute. SHINeeWorld went INSANE especially with Expectation & its flirty choreo. Day 1 of the concert, the Shawols in the front row were just stunned staring at Jinki's sexy Beauty choreo. They literally were like statues staring at him while holding up their lightsticks,🤣! I'm telling you no one expected intense, sexy Jinki to show up, Jinggus ended up teasing him on Bubble and on his youtube live,🤣. Anyway, thank you for always supporting our legendary, SHINee!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@flowergirl0720]

This is just such a wholesome interaction and underscores the whole reason I love Onew so much. He is so sweet to the core. Like imo maybe 15% of people are like this. Ok, i am going overboard rn, i just love and respect him sm.❤

[@FlorEme_]

Loved your reaction ♡ When I listen to SHINee's music I always think "What is the style each member brings to the group?" After "Blue" I was pretty sure Onew was, like you said, the ballad guy. But Dice and Circle prove his style isn't a specific genre, it's a vibe: like a nostalgic vibe, peaceful and also playful. I think he finally found his thing and I'm super proud of SHINee as soloists. They had the opportunity to show their singularities as artists, I love them. Now, it's time to enjoy SHINee back ♡

[@aussieshawol1854]

After listening & trying to understand the title track "Circle", my impression is it is a autobiography of Onew's life. He has been throwing himself into his solo concerts and now his first album, to confidently demonstrate to himself and the world all his talent, skill and depth of Onew the person; like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon to reveal its splendour, we begin to see a new and more assured person.

[@keira9737]

He will be performing Rain on Me in music shows with circle

[@keysburntgucci9016]

The music in the album is very Indie (indie as in Independent artist and not really genre per se) inspired which I absolutely love. Really I start at O Circle and end on Always. Just can't stop at the middle.

[@kellzie]

Onew’s voice is beautiful and unique. There is no one like him. 💗

[@tidus_1135]

You are the reason why we are here. I love listening to you reactions. No friends? Same here😆. But surrounded by family who love me. I think this is my favourite album of all time. Every song is so nice. Thanks for your reaction. Love you, Love Onew, Love SHINee!

[@user-sb7cm1nd7n]

As a fan of SHINee and ONEW, thank you always I'm happy with your sincere reaction video😄💎💎💎💎💎

[@vespa2223]

The moment I heard this song I thought and felt that finally I was hearing Jinki/Onew really find his sound and mood. Beautiful. Now, if they could just get Minho right.😊

[@californianroll2803]

For me this definitely his best album. All of them are amazing that i’m literally listening to the entire album 24/7 If you can you should watch his “Expectation” performance it’s sexy af🥵

[@shawolsmvp5522]

The trumpet sound in caramel, he did it. And no parachute stage lol yeah it's 'fun' 😂 Then, after you reacted to Always (the last song), actually Walk With You lyric video appeared in your screen 🤣

[@solthebrighest]

I actually cried so much with "Always". His voice made me feel lots of emotions.

[@acetobase5]

also to answer your questions, he was pretty involved with this album way more than his previous ones, he did write songs but they weren't chosen for this album and most of the songs in the album are songs he personally requested & commissioned. He also mentioned that this album is the album close to his taste and what music he does like & listen to and that he wanted his 1st full album to reflect him

[@shanbeauty4193]

I check ur channel so many times 😂😂 Onew album topping charts n I’m so happy n proud 😍

[@amosagutamosagut8119]

I really like circle, expectations, anywhere, no parachute and walk with you

[@jonrenzarmada9781]

Been waiting for your reaction video, finally haha! All of the songs are really good, but my faves are Rain on me, Caramel, and Paradise 😁😁😁

[@judithrojasmolina4231]

I'm a shawol, but I also didn't have any expectations for this album. I feel like the Highlight Medley didn't make it any justice, so when I listened to the first song I thought "oh, I like this song", then the second one "oh, I like this one too", then by the third and fourth song I was mostly sold 😂. It was so unexpected. I think this could definetly be Onew's best album (even though I love the 1st and 2nd mini album very much), it feels and sounds just like him. Onew is absolutely my bias wrecker 😍😂 (Taemin is my bias, but I love the 5 of them with my life of course 😊).

[@mochawilliams5996]

Such a beautiful album 😍

[@ireneserrano4570]

He's too precious, "Circle" song/MV is a gift for our souls, i cried rivers every time! The album is ahhhhh amazing! to me it feels the continuation of Dice EP

[@kahlan5165]

My understanding is Onew was very involved in making of this album and all that's followed. In his interview, he said this was more of an album showing the music he enjoys rather than music he can do. With each of his own album, I think he's finding his own voice more and more. This is my album of the year, I am convinced and I haven't stopped listening to it since it's release (even though I'm also waiting for V's album 🤣). I strongly recommend you watch his concert clips or performance ones, I have a feeling you'll appreciate the album a lot better, lol. By the way, maybe find another lyrics channel, the translation was so off.

[@jessalam8824]

When I hear ALWAYS for the first time, I don't know why Jonghyun and Onew's friendship photos and screen together flashes fastly through my mind. It's like Onew is telling a story about his friend and him. And then he is like telling to bling bling I will always remember you and be with you. It makes me happy and smile☺. Maybe is just me being a blinger and missing Jonghyun and Jongyu couple to much.😊 This album is great! Like you said I really like No Parachute too, when the highlight video came out. Now I really like Cough, No Parachute, Expectations and Always🥰.

[@markmybirds]

The imagery of each member is in Circle too ; ;. But the moment I heard the beginning and saw the dinosaurs cycle through I started to bawl.

[@FlorEme_]

Totally agree! I had Jonghyun on my mind as i was listening to the whole album. I think he would enjoy it because of the type of production: it's very intimate, with poetry, soul/indie pop, just like J loved to do. Onew might be his favorite artist these days and this idea warms my heart ♡

[@acetobase5]

my favorite cb & album released this year so far and honestly one of my favorite albums released ever. Thank you for the reaction always

[@maqjoy7307]

I swear if this song doesn't get a music award by the end of the year, it really is "OUTRAGEOUS" or nonsense. this is "MASTERPIECE". it doesn't need the "popularity" of the singer to catch someone's attention, like a singer who only "sells" her name because the group is popular. interesting, if you watch the mv, there is one scene where the cellphone screen is full of blood getting the message "I'm fine" it makes me shed tears, I know you guys will understand what I mean, I mean, when your best friend asks how you are via text message, " are you okay" then you Answer "I'm fine" while the phone screen is full of blood. OMG gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes without me knowing it. I highly recommend this album. Seriously !!!

[@dankuso111]

Unless your new to KPOP, everyone knows the awards are all bs at this point. . its just based on the "Popularity" by fans no matter how talented the singer are, you cant beat the rigged votings no matter what especially at this point of time. Onew is still one of best/unique vocalist even now but just overshadowed. As a fanboy of SHInee to this day since Replay days, I dont care about these awards no more since SHINee already establish WHO SHINee ARE & I just pray they are happy & enjoying their release songs including the fans. I'm really happy that each members has realease a songs/album that are beautiful & amazing. LOL I didnt even know the album was released today so I was just surprised to hear Onew voice singing in the background since I had autoplay on lol Just Beautiful ! !

[@valeriareyes3351]

I think the variety of genres is the concept: wind, cloud, ocean and sun. And that's what it's sounds like to me (idk how to explain it) I love your reactions 💕💕💕 thank you so much🥰

[@mariannaianagui1160]

I understand what you mean when you say the title song is going to a very specific playlist, it's not a song that I would listen in any situation, but it's very beautiful and artistic nevertheless. It gives me feelings of joy, comfort, but grief and melancholy too. I suppose that was the purpose, given the theme of the song, so to me it is spot on! I just love it. The whole album is amazing. Seems like Shinee members just keep getting better and better with time, they blow me away with every single release. Just can't wait for Taemin to come back and we finally have them all together again. 🥹 Thank you for the reaction, always love your videos!

[@BFB808]

Idk why but I feel like this album really melds well together with RM’s Indigo! Whenever I first listen to an album my mind always goes “Oh where have I felt this feeling before?”. It’s like when I first listened to Nayeon’s Pop! album and thought of Dice. I really enjoyed this album and has a nice mix of rain/ melancholy & retro pop (that I also will never get tired of) type of songs. Thanks for reacting!!! ❤

[@tatianalp2847]

If people ask you about the poster, instead of saying that, take the opportunity to let people know about his talent, it's your chance to get more people to listen to him. 👍

[@tatianalp2847]

@@ardellro5088 No, but if people are asking, he has the chance to say something useful. It's not like I'm telling him to promote him out of the blue, geez, people are already asking him, he can give a good answer that makes them curious about his music, why not?

[@ireneserrano4570]

yes, life is like a stage That set (the teletubish) references The Truman Show, i won't spoil it for people. But yeah, that door with ladder may be to the exit to the "real" life or maybe the next life... There are references to reincarnation like the dung-beattle a symboo of eternity & reincarnation in ancient Egypt. Also a heron. And he writes "eternity" in the crossword. It's the circle, the cycle of life-death-life-death...

[@user-sb7cm1nd7n]

Always Thanks⭕🐰👍

[@ravishupadhyaya4024]

Your reactions are awesome

[@bell1sh]

the way I clicked SO FAST when I received the notification!! this is such a beautiful album and so meaningful, Onew said himself that he's happy to make music he likes listening to, something more like himself! also, someone said that the mv has this little representations of SHINee (dinossaurs like jjong, the ball for minho, the keys for key, mushrooms for taemin, the rabbit candle for himself) and his own discography (like the pink landscape that kinda looks the inside of a whale, like the song in the dice album he wrote for us!)... anyway, thanks again for such an amazing reaction, sir!

[@ireneserrano4570]

In the Whale is actually related to this song. There are many symbolisms of reincarnation and eternity here, the dung-beetle is a symboo.of reincarnationfeternity in ancient Egipt & other cultures, also in Asia the heron represents it. The circle is a cycle of life-death-life-death... In the whale is related to the Bible story of Jonah inside the whale (he sings it like he is inside the whale). Jonah died, spent 3 days inside the whale and came back to life and out of the whale. Jesus said he would die and come back after 3 days just like Jonah did. It is a symbol of resucitation-reincarnation-eternity... Also that tunel that looks like the inside of the whale, looks like an uterus, so it could have the meaning of being born, coming to life. While the set with the door and the ladder (like in The Truman Show film) also represents death and reincarnation, as in going to another life, a "real" one, a different place...

[@bell1sh]

@@ireneserrano4570 this is such a cool way to represent it! thanks for the detailed explanation on the symbolisms

[@ireneserrano4570]

The dog-like puppet reminds me of Jim Henson's puppets in films like Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal (in this film there are dog-like cute fluffy hairy monsters, Fizzgig is a loyal companion for Kira and he is fierce also to protect her...) i feel that puppet in the MV as sth similar, a life companion, it could represent anything as in your memories, yourself?-self care, self love, self confidence along your lifetime, or others who loved and protected you
