Reasons Onew is the Best Leader

1. He leads with care and love

One of the reasons that SHINee members listen to Onew is that he a caring and loving leader. When a member has an accident on stage or feels uncomfortable, he will always check on that member.

“As the leader, he never thinks of himself as having a position higher than the rest of us. Instead, he puts himself in the middle of the group and makes us stronger.”

2. His meekness earns him respect

As a leader, he doesn’t force his ideas or opinions on the group. Instead, he will listen attentively to what other members think.

“Onew does not tell us what to do in a certain situation, but he tells us to follow what we think is right.”

3. Onew is charismatic yet cute

Born on December 14, 1989, Onew is charismatic in his own way. He can be that strict leader but, at the same time, makes us want to cuddle him. We have no idea how he can have such duality.

“There are two types of charisma – sharp and warm. Onew has warm charisma.”

4. Onew is a servant-leader

There are chances for Onew to be a bossy leader. However, it’s not him. He is the kind of leader who loves to serve. Onew doesn’t mind tidying up after the group in a radio show or taking a chair for himself or other members. He’s such a perfect example of a humble servant-leader.

“If you look at Onew, don’t you always get a feeling of gentleness? But he also has another persona – he’s strict when it comes to working, and sometimes his wild side comes out. He continuously practices and believes he needs to do things right.”

    I have witnessed all this through years but i felt emotional seeing ur lovely article ❤🥺 he is the most talented and sweetest person ever😭😭 he is always so kind.. humble..polite to others to the point that u might think he isn’t an idol if u saw him on street! as shawols who saw him said, he would greet them and their family.. invite them to ride the elevator and stop it for them 🥺 he is so supportive of his shinee members.. just like a family and he always proud of them.. he has a big warm heart but still can lead the boys with his strong hard working personality..he is a perfectionist..he once got injured but still went on to not ruin the stage..and always sacrifices for the grouo & for the sake of giving the best performance.. he has been called “honey vocal cords” cause of his sweet warm healing voice that u can’t help but being addicted to.. he is literally the best leader.. the best older brother and the best person ever.. thanks for the nice article 😍 love from Egypt~❤

    Thank you for this article! Onew deserves this praise. He really is kind, thoughtful, and hard-working. Something else that stands out about him is that he is a great duet partner. He blends his distinctive voice seamlessly with whomever he’s singing with and brings out the best in his partner’s voice. He did this a lot on Sea of Hope last year.
