Group SHINee Onew said that he fully recovered his health during the break.

Onew recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, saying, `At first, I was ahead of the pressure, but many people waited and cheered for me, so I was able to recover my health quickly.'

Onew, who celebrated the 15th anniversary of SHINee's debut last year, missed the activities of his 8th regular album 'Hard' due to poor condition. Since then, he has been focusing on treatment and rest, and has resumed his activities since April with the support of his fans. In response, Onyu "At first, the burden was great. Because so many people waited for me, I thought 'I have to go back quickly, what should I do?', but as I was not stressed by leaving it to the flow naturally, I quickly settled down.

Then "Be happy to the fans blindly 'Be happy!I shouted ', but I thought I had to endure and endure a lot of things myself. I thought happiness was natural, but at some point, I felt grateful for the little things. "

He then said that he traveled a lot alone during the break. Onew went to Vienna, Austria, and lived for a month, came back to Korea, took care of his health, and then went back to Japan to climb Mount Fuji. After living in Japan for a month, and in the United States for about a month, I had a lot of time to think alone. It's my first time going around alone like this, and there are so many things I can't do (laughs). It's like paying for the guest house, and there were so many things I didn't know, so I had a fun experience while looking up every single one of them. After that, I thought there's nothing I can't do even if I'm alone. I have confidence that I can do everything if I find it myself in it. "

Above all, he did not forget his gratitude to the members who trusted and waited for him. Onew said "I was sorry to have vaguely waited for not only the members but also the staff and fans who worked hard for me." Everyone must have been worried when I was in shock without giving any answer. "The more I did, the healthier I came back and decided to show you a good side. Why don't the members go on a trip first? I was so grateful that he said comfortably, 'It's okay to relax and come back anytime.'"

Meanwhile, Onew's 3rd mini album 'Flow' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on September 3.
