SHINee’s Onew is praised for cultural sensitivity after one of his gesture regarding a racial slur during his US tour.
AdvertisementAmid ongoing scrutiny of K-pop idols and the use or misuse of racially sensitive terms, SHINee’s Onew has drawn widespread praise for his cultural awareness and proactive communication with fans during his current US tour.
During a recent concert, Onew paused to clarify a particular lyric in his song that, to non-Korean ears, might resemble the n-word. In particular, before encouraging fans to sing along, he said, “At that part in the beginning, that n-word sounding part that’s not intended to sound like that. I wanted to ask, it doesn’t come off that way, right?”
When the crowd responded reassuringly with a resounding “no,” Onew visibly relaxed and added, “Ah, that’s a relief. Because in the Korean lyrics, this word appears a lot.”
The moment, captured in a now-viral clip, sparked a wave of positive reactions from international fans and netizens alike. Many commended Onew for his cultural sensitivity, self-awareness, and respectful approach to ensuring that no part of his performance would be misinterpreted or cause discomfort.
