onew stan and not worried at all, i actually feel its a great time for onew stans and shinee in general tbh

in addition to everything you said, imo this has been a really good year for onew kind of reminiscent of 2010. despite the fact that onew had ess lines in the singles, he was really prominent in all the albums in Korea and japan. not just that, but when shinee promoted as 4 although taemin got most of jjongs parts, onew really shined in the lives and alot of people noticed. actually it seems onew has kind of been a main topic through most of shinees releases this year whether through his singing parts being or just him physically and performance wise just being more present etc


in terms of the interview, eh its a mens mag ie not a typically idol eque interview and as we know usually with men's magazines its more journalistic and you talk with the interviewer and whatever ends up in print is based upon that, no point over analyzing imo
