SHINee member ONEW is set to release a new digital single, ‘Manse,’ on December 12th at 6 p.m. KST, marking a speedy comeback just three months after his third mini-album, ‘FLOW.’

The lyrics reflect a hope for people navigating the fast-paced modern world to shed their loneliness and join together in a collective chant of “Manse” (meaning "Hurrah" or "Long Live").
Previously, ONEW demonstrated his evolving musical prowess with ‘FLOW,’ where he personally participated in producing and writing all the tracks. This album boldly conveyed ONEW’s thoughts throughout and achieved global success, reaching #1 on iTunes Top Album Charts in 26 countries and regions immediately upon release.
