| Onew’s UFO Radio message regarding “Onew Ache”
"Onew Ache. Onew… ache? When I first heard this, I wondered what it meant. "I’m not sick… Why do people say I am aching?" was what I was thinking. But when I found out, Onew Ache meant loving me [Onew] so much that it aches. Wow. I was really touched. It’s really touching. Where else could I receive so much love? Right? When I was a student, I always imagined my debut, and as I debuted, I imagined myself being loved by all of you… How all this became closer to reality, I can’t yet believe. I can’t believe it to the point that sometimes I think that I’m having this really long dream. But… you didn’t know that just as much as you have Onew Aches, we [Shinee] have aches for you all? Although we can’t reply back to each of the kind hearts that always cheer for us and love us without limits, we are truly thankful. Everyone, thank you so much! You’re the best!” — Onew
