@ontokkiacademy.bsky.social![Onew to Release Single Album “#착각” on the 20th
SHINee group member Onew revealed a teaser for his upcoming single album.
On the 12th, Onew shared the promotion scheduler for his single album 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 via his official SNS accounts.
The released schedule promotion was designed in the format of a classified document. It catches the eye by displaying clues alongside pictures of Onew all connected by a red thread.
Beginning with image previews on the 13th, Onew will sequentially unveil music video spoilers, a music video teaser, as well as a lyric poster. His plan is to fill [the] comeback week with a variety of content, including three distinct versions of concept photos.
Prior to this, spoiler photos were released on Onew’s official SNS accounts. With the question “IS IT?” leading to the answer “IT IS.”, curiosity is increasing over the meaning behind the mysterious silhouette [pictured].
𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 is a single album that translates the emotions stemming from differing interpretations into music — the idea that people perceive things differently, even after observing and experiencing the exact same thing. The album features a total of three tracks, including the titular track “Delusion,” alongside “Mind Games” and “Tic Tac Toe.”
The single album 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 will be released on October 20 at 6:00 PM/KST.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:d4t6ayqwv7k7cb4eibaralpu/bafkreigkwz4pldsw3vndwbmwo4hnig3ir2lmuma7nkjl3vhk7ongsbyl2a@jpeg)

![SHINee’s ONEW and singer Yuju showcase their vocal synergy by expressing the emotions of a couple in a precarious romantic relationship through this R&B duet.
On the 29th at 6:00 PM/KST, ONEW will release “Mind Games,” the first title track from his single album 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, across streaming platforms.
“Mind Games” is a song about the complex relationship between a couple who hurt each other because pride and power struggles take precedence over love, yet still can’t seem to let each other go. It captures the emotional clashes and subtle tension through a deep R&B sound.
The minimalist arrangement driven solely by vocals and acoustic guitar brings the speakers’ emotions into sharp focus. ONEW’s mellifluous voice and YUJU’s refreshing tone vividly paint the complex emotions within a push-and-pull dynamic. ONEW also contributed in writing the lyrics.
A documentary video capturing the recording session was also released. Speaking about YUJU’s vocals, ONEW said, “The word ‘refreshing’ suits her perfectly, and I feel when combined with mine, it creates great synergy.” He added, “Since it’s an R&B-based song, I thought it would be a great chance to showcase another side of YUJU.”
YUJU shared her thoughts on the collaboration, saying, “When practicing my parts, I treated them as lines of dialogue [rather than just lyrics]. I wanted listeners to feel as if [they] were [listening to us] have a conversation.” She continued, “ONEW-sunbae kept bringing out aspects of my vocals I hadn't explored before, making that back-and-forth dynamic really fun.”
She added, “I hope this song makes listeners realize, ‘So these two artists have this dark and charming side too?’”
𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 is ONEW’s first single album in about seven months since the release of his fifth mini-album TOUGH LOVE in March. Having demonstrated his capabilities as both an artist and producer in his previous work, ONEW embarks on new musical ventures through this album’s triple title tracks.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:d4t6ayqwv7k7cb4eibaralpu/bafkreifsaya5m5h7zcm6jqzvv47y7fxsdj4gre6rrqlo34kgqpli7cqfyi@jpeg)

YUJU participated alongside ONEW as his duet partner on “Mind Games”. With their clear, smooth vocal tones blending together in a single track, even the short audio preview offers a glimpse into their delicate expressiveness and vocal harmony.
𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 marks ONEW’s first new [Korean] music release in about seven months, following his fifth mini-album TOUGH LOVE in March. Having demonstrated his producing talents in that previous work, ONEW showcases an even broader musical palette with three distinct title tracks on this album.
The new songs will be unveiled sequentially. The first title track, “Mind Games” featuring YUJU, drops on September 29, followed by the second title track on October 7. The third title track and the full single album 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 will then officially release on October 20.
ONEW will also hold live performances alongside his comeback. Following a concert in Taipei on October 3, ONEW is scheduled to meet fans in Seoul from October 30 through November 1 for his solo concert “2026 ONEW CONCERT [ONEW THE LIVE: Q].”
