On December 15, 2024, it was announced that as a part of the promotion for his fourth Korean EP Connection, Onew would commence a concert tour titled, Onew the Live: Connection, starting with performances in February in Japan then Korea, Taiwan, and Macau.[1] The last performance of the Korean concert and the Taiwanese concert were both live-streamed globally online through Fromm platform.[2] The last performance of the Japanese concert was broadcast on Wowow on April 27, 2025.[3]

On February 27, 2025, it was announced that Onew would add an American leg of the tour covering eight U.S. cities. This was Onew's first solo tour in America. The leg was conducted in collaboration with Nomus, an entertainment technology company that operates comprehensive artist IP platforms Wonderwall and Fromm.[4] Tickets for general admission went on sale on March 7, 2025, with presale opening the day before for select cities.[5] Tickets for New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles performances were sold out.[4]

Production

[edit | edit source]

"Onew the Live" is a new performance brand created by Onew, focusing on bringing Onew's inner stories on stage through live singing. With "Connection" as the subtitle to highlight Onew's focus to create a connection with fans, "Onew the Live: Connection" concert consisted of 4 sections with a setlist encompassing Onew's past, present, and future. The stage production included impressive light effects and backgrounds representing the night sky and underwater to match the songs and maximize the immersion of the performance. Onew served as the producer for this concert.[2][6]

Onew performed all songs from his latest EPs, Connection and Flow, as well as some songs from his previous Korean releases but performed some of his Japanese songs exclusively at the Japanese performances.[7] At the Korean concert, on the second day Giriboy was invited as a special guest and he sang "Caramel" with Onew. On the third day, Sunwoo Jung-a was invited and she sang a cover of Shinee's song "Selene 6.23" with Onew. Akmu's Lee Su-hyun was invited as a guest on the first day but couldn't attend.[2][8] On 21 April, 2025, Onew released his first-ever English song "Mad" for his global fans, ahead of his performances in America.[9] He performed the song live for the first time at his concert in Taiwan.[10]
