SHINee's Onew, along with other members, is generating buzz through various merchandise releases and pop-up events. Fans are actively engaging with new character goods, concert merchandise, and exclusive items available at official stores and pop-ups, reflecting a strong demand for unique and collectible idol-related products.
Recent releases include SHINee's 8th solo concert MDs like "Peek-up figures" featuring character versions of the members (Taemin, Onew, Minho, Key), and random squishy keyrings (like Taemari). Onew's character, 'Jjingnyang-i', was featured in a "Pajama Party Pop-up Store" at Yeongdeungpo Times Square from August 15-21, 2026, offering items such as pajamas and body pillows that were added later. Official stores like Withmuu in AK Mall Hongdae also stock a wide range of SHINee albums, individual member goods (e.g., Minho's mini 2nd album photobook), and character items like the "raincoat ver. dolls" for all members. Proof photos (증명사진) of members were also popular, with Onew's having the most stock.
Bloggers express excitement over the quality of items like the Peek-up figures, noting their solid feel and good color. They also highlight the appeal of character goods that accurately capture each member's traits. Fans often purchase goods despite high prices or delayed shipping (e.g., a three-month wait for concert MDs), driven by the desire to collect and personalize their spaces. The pop-up store experience, even with initial delays in themed merchandise, created an immersive environment for fans to interact with Onew's character.
