SHINee’s Onew Once Again Has Fans Worried For His Health Due To His Drastically Thin Appearance
Content Warning
Back in March, SHINee fans began to voice their concerns for Onew‘s health due to him looking thinner than usual. It was during the promotions for his first full-length album, Circle, and his frequent public appearances during that time showed him appearing drastically different than he has in the past, and made him almost unrecognizable.
Onew has always had a soft, round face while maintaining a slender build, even into his 30s. So seeing him with a noticeably thinner face was shocking to many, and fans hoped that he was taking care of himself and eating enough so that he stayed healthy.
However, fans’ worries have only been worsened rather than diminished due to Onew’s most recent public appearances. With SHINee’s 15th anniversary celebrations under way and leading up to the release of their new album, HARD, on June 26, the SHINee leader has been seen looking even thinner than ever in recently shared videos.
And it seems like fans’ worries aren’t for nothing, either. On June 9, SM Entertainment announced that Onew would be taking a break from group activities in order to take care of his health, after visiting a hospital due to unspecified ongoing health issues.

Shawols have flooded social media with messages of support and well-wishes for the K-Pop idol, hoping that he’ll make a full recovery from whatever it is that he’s going through.
I hope whatever is going on with Onew’s health isn’t serious. I was shocked when I saw how thin he was but didn’t want to comment on it bc it’s not my place.
Hopefully he gets better soon.

I literally broke down crying seeing how thin he looks during the fan meeting. I want him to eat a lot, rest a lot and be his healthy happy self again. We love you Onew

I’ve been noticing and worried for a while. Onew’s been looking very worryingly and abnormally thin. Even way skinnier than Taemin has ever been. https://t.co/tF7CsS2nnK
