Despite the ongoing internal conflicts happening within SM Entertainment, their artists are still continuing with their promotional activities, as first reported by Naver News.
First on the list is SHINee’s leader Onew, who will be making his comeback on March 6, 2023. This is his first comeback since the release of his second album, “Dice” in April of last year. Onew is also due to hold his first solo concert titled, “O-NEW-NOTE” from March 3-5, 2023, at the Olympic Hall in Seoul.
He is the second member of SHINee to hold solo promotional activities in 2023, following Key with his latest repackaged release album “Thriller” last February 13, 2023.
EXO’s Kai is also confirmed to make his solo comeback in mid-March with a new album. This new album comes a year and 4 months after his release of “Peaches”. He is also set to promote with EXO and SuperM, who were both confirmed to be returning to active promotions this year.
Both Shawols and EXO-Ls were delighted to hear the news of the two artists holding comebacks this year.
