When asked about the dance challenge, Onew said, "Sounds good!" and about the dance itself, he replied, "I love the song." When the emcee encouraged him to dance, he jokingly said, "I really, really love the song!" before asking to replay the video.
@thathanbinfan [Fanmeet] <GUESS!> Onew FANMEETING 2024 in Singapore Had to opportunity to attend Onew's fanmeet in Singapore. Onew gives of such a babygirl energy, you just want to protect and keep him in your pocket. I literally wanna squish him when he came out in the second fit 🤏🏻 How is a '89 liner looking so boyish and pulling off the schoolboy look??? Enjoyed my time there. Also, I absolutely loved Shawaol's lightsticks, the hall looked so pretty with them 😍 Didn't know there was a hi-bye session for everyone there but sadly we were not allowed to record. I had a good 1 meter of bye-ing and eye-smiling him 🫠✨️ #onewinsg #onew #SHINee #shawol #onewfanmeet #ONEW_GUESS #ONEW_ALLDAY #ONEW_GUESSinSG #이진기 #온유 #샤이니 ♬ original sound - thathanbinfan
The singer also drew his version of the Merlion, which looked quite cute! There was also a hi-bye session for fans, but recording was not allowed.
