Fun Facts
• Is nicknamed tofu, “Ondubu”
• His first time ever performing on stage, he was so nervous he couldn’t see anything in front of him, and forgot his lyrics before going up, but the thought of his parents sitting in the front row helped him calm down while he was performing
• Has a deep love for chicken
• Has Onew condition, haha, when he tries to be funny, but instead freezes the atmosphere awkwardly… But there’s always that odd occasion once or twice a year that someone actually finds it funny :P
• Has an obsession with NG-ing, quote Key: “You just can’t not NG, can you!?”
• When he was little and had long hair, he used to tie his hair up with the string used to tie up the bread bag
• Once said that if he was a girl, out of the SHINee members he would date Key
• When he doesn’t know how to answer a question when he is nervous he flails about and slips into a state of being baffled
• Has trained the longest out of all the SHINee members
• “I recieve a lot of snacks and yoghurts that have nearly the same names as mine”, quote Onew
