Onew’s Rock of Ages Debut
After months of hard training, SHINee’s leader Onew finally got to showcase his acting chops again as Rock of Ages opened yesterday.
Performed in Seoul at the Seoul Olympic Gardens’ Hall, the musical opened to a sold out show, standing ovation and positive reviews. The musical tells the story of Drew—played by Onew—a common bus boy who falls for a small town girl and aspires to be a rock star. His journey is told through some of the most famous rock songs of the ‘80s. The show also stars fellow SM Entertainment artists Jay of TRAX and Dana and Sunday of the Grace.
In a press conference for the show today, Onew reveals his feelings about celebrities branching out in their careers.
“I think that one person being able to do several things is an advantage. I used to feel distant about singers taking on acting but not anymore. I think a lot can be shown including singing, acting and musicals when one is given the chance.”
Check out pictures of Onew taking full grasp of this chance below, clad in full rocker garb, and also a short video of the ending. SHINee’s dubu leader seems unrecognizable under all the studs and leather, doesn’t he?

Onew views celebrities' pursuit of multiple jobs positively
Singer Onew of boy band SHINee has said he thinks positively of celebrities pursuing multiple jobs.
The 20-year-old singer made the remark at a press call and press conference for musical "Rock of Ages" on Thursday, responding to a reporter's question on what he thinks about celebrities branching out their careers to various realms of the entertainment industry.
"I think that one person being able to do several things is an advantage," Onew started by saying. "I used to feel distant about singers taking on acting but not anymore...... I think a lot can be shown including singing, acting and musicals when one is given the chance."
Singer Dana, also a cast member of the musical, agreed with Onew. "I think an artist's job is to make the public laugh and feel moved...... The only difference is whether it's done by singing or acting so I think taking on musicals where you can do both with some extra effort, is good as well," she explained.
Musical "Rock of Ages," Broadway's newest production this year composed of rock music and lyrical pop music representative of the 80s, is making its premiere in Korea.
Starring singers Shin Sung-woo, Ahn Jae-wook, Onew, J and Dana, the show will run till October 30 at the Olympic Park in Seoul.

Please be gentle to Dana, people. She just hugged Onew as act, they are SM Town, so please don't hate her for touching him. I don't want to generalize all people to be jealous though, I just don't want people to hate on such talented singers as Dana and Sunday.
*waits to get kicked by several people for this statement*
