This song is still an absolute masterpiece

It feels like everything is going to be okay when i listen to this song. I keep coming back to watch the music video to seek comfort and it never fails to give me exactly that. Thank you onew

Billboard named CIRCLE as the best Kpop album of 2023 🥹 Congratulations Onew! You worked so hard and did well. You deserve it all 🩵

세상의 마지막날이 온다면 이노래를 듣고 싶어요. 멋진 아티스트네요 온유

This is not an idol song, it’s giving me more mature vibes. I feel like Onew grew up a step as a real artist through this album. The whole album has no skips without any exaggerations for real.

The young idol with the golden voice has grown up to become a real artist now, who explores and shows his true self through his music. He has found his own path as a solo artist too. I am so proud to have witnessed this evolution. Let's be together for a long, long time, Onew! We⭕you!!

it's definitely not easy for idols to have this kind of genre as the title track for their album. we know that its usually something upbeat and crazy, so this is a bold move of him. i mean i have seen it coming and im not disappointed at all. hes been in the industry for 14 years now and im happy that hes comfortable enough to have this song. it suits his voice so much, hes one of the very few idols who have versatile voices. Onew is indeed a treasure of kpop. this man deserves all the support he could get and this mv needs to have millions. KEEP STREAMING SHAWOLS!

팬도 아니고 샤이니 몇곡밖에 모르는데 이노래 너무 좋아합니다

This song... holy freaking moly. I have tears in my eyes. These lyrics, and that choir, and onews beautiful voice. I applaud you onew for making this the title track.

You can always expect masterpieces like this from SHINee. They don't release something that's trendy or popular. They release that honors the art of music. It's what a true artist does. And from what we know, Onew produced/co-produced this album. He is such a musical genius.

It feels like a poem or a piece of artwork made into music. I love how both the song and the video are literally circular... and the lyrics are a perfect match. Very beautiful.

It's 1 year later and I still tear up a little when I watch this MV

During his fan sign, Onew said there was no official producer for this album and he was the one "in charge" for that role (which means he probably directed the whole thing himself). “Jinki took on the role of the Executive Producer. It consists of choosing the composers/lyricists to work with, directing/guiding the artistic team, choosing the songs and arranging them in a cohesive tracklist, etc. It's basically being the boss of the entire project. Nothing on a project can pass without the executive producer having a say on it. Most sm albums used to have Lee Sooman as the executive producer. Now, this era is over.” I’m so proud of Onew! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Give this man his flowers and credit him @ SM

I accidentally opened this MV after watching Kai's Rover. Now, I've been watching THIS over and over and over !! I can't. I should check out more songs from this man here T__T This is a masterpiece T__T I don't even have an idea where to start T__T

Congratulations on being Billboard's #1 kpop album of 2023!!!

It's hard to beat someone who doesn't give up, brave ONEW

I don't have words to express how beautiful and artistic this is. A lot of people won't be able to understand this masterpiece completely, some will prefer more popular sound, not everyone appreciate artsy music like this! But those of us who felt this with out soul truly appreciate the work you've done Jinki! The concept, the visuals, the story, the meaning behind, and the heavenly vocals!!! Simply genius! Thank you again, for another masterpiece! You deserve the world!

It’s difficult to fill the holes that characterize everyone’s soul. We are lacking, needy; we often feel ourself lonely, misunderstood. With his reassuring voice Onew sang some splendid words, trying to give comfort to those holes that I was talking about. He did not try to “fill” them, he just sat near to them telling them that he respects them, that the fact that they exist makes them “special like everything else”, maybe even more, because they are those things that consent us to distinguish a human being and his life experience from another one. We’re all the same in this world of differences that moves around following a circular path. I’m truly moved by the messages that he tried to convey, he is an unmatchable artist that maybe doesn’t deserve to be categorized like others in a genre full of shallowness. Thank you Onew, for being true to yourself and for sharing such a great masterpiece with us. I will always remember this.

가수들은 자신의 슬픔을 참고이겨내면서 다른사람들의 슬픔을 위로해주는 직업인듯 하네요.. 항상 응원합니다!!

슴살시절 온유의 목소리를 듣고 무슨 저런 아이같은 얼굴을 한 아이돌이 음색이 저렇게 깊은 울림이 있나 싶었는데 17년이 지난 온유의 목소리는 더 깊고 넓어졌다는게 놀랍도다 아름다운 온유ㅡ

What I love about SHINee (all members) is they're not afraid to try something new in their career life. Even after they're on 15 years now, they still try something new, that no one has tried before. I think that is the reason why they're still in a stable career till now. I'm so proud of them. I love them so much. Please give a lot of love for Onew's new album 🫶

Wow. Just. Wow. With Voice, Onew started expressing himself as a solo artist. With Dice, he broke the image people had about him as a "ballad singer". With Life goes on, he started to draw a new style, to balance what he learnt from Voice and Dice. Finally, with Circle, he found his style. He polished the way his sings, selected amazing songs. Onew is an amazing artist and singer. Because O is a circle, I am in apnea while listening to it. When can I catch my breath when the song is going back and forth? When Onew's voice carry so much emotions ?! Thank you, Onew. I am so proud of being a fan of you. You evolved like crazy during the last two years. I need to listen to your album again and again to process it, but I am so excited to witness how far you will go now that you found your identity as a soloist, how great you will do as a singer...

I believe that this is the most appealing song to the general public. It feels grand and beautiful and healing, it makes you feel like taking a huge breath after having a knot in your throat for a long time. I hope more people start listening to it and has the success it deserves. Onew, your voice is like a respite from the noise, it makes everything else in the world feel quiet so we can only hear you. Thank you.

whole album should be displayed at museums

코엑스 광고 보고 온 사람.. 며칠째 코엑스 메가박스 쪽에서 짧게 듣다보니 좋아서 완곡 들어보고싶었어요

What a beautiful song. In a sea of upbeat and noisy title tracks, Onew was really brave for choosing this as the title track, such a deep, chill and meaningful song. I absolutely love it!!! Let's keep streaming shawols!!!

What an artist, what a voice, what a masterpiece! Way beyond kpop, it’s music that you listen to when you’re standing on the balcony under moonlight on a cold lonely night thinking about life.

와 노래만 듣다가 뮤비는 처음보는데 몽환적인것 같은 인트로랑 후렴구에 너무 어울리는 뮤비... 너무 예쁘다...

I hope more people appreciate Onew's artistry. This album leaves a wholesome message that everyone can relate to. Thank you Onew! I O U

Love when idols find their sound and colour. This is so beautiful

My dear onew is back now i don't need to say i miss you anymore here. I will continue to love you.

Congratulations Onew on being ranked Billboard's #1 Kpop album for 2023!!! You deserve every accolade!

Circle is the audio equivalent of a gentle hug, a forehead kiss, a soft hand squeeze. Onew really put his smile and soft loving gaze into the vocals. I love him so much.

Just found this. It's the best Korean made song I've ever heard. Period. Pure r&b and now I'm going to dig into what albums there are out there. Awesome.

Onew is so talented, he is the producer for Circle album. Solo concert director and now self-produced album. He deserves all the love and support

별하나-밤과별의노래-매력-써클 순으로 돌고 왔는데 진짜 다양해 온유 목소리. 따뜻하기도하고 쓸쓸하기도 하고. 뭔가 23년 발매한 써클이랑 24년도에 라이브로 불러준 써클이랑은 또 느낌이 많이 다름. 내 마음이 달라진 걸 수도 있지만 방학 끝내고 온 온유 마음도 달라졌겠지.

Circle⭕アメリカのビルボードK-POPアルバム１位おめでとうございます。オニュさんの音楽が認められてうれしいです。

축하해요 JINKI! 그리고 CIRCLE을 만든 모든 분들. 나에게 CIRCLE은 단순한 노래가 아닌, 첫 곡부터 마지막 ​​곡까지 늘 듣는 앨범이다. “CIRCLE”은 원을 열고 “ALWAYS”는 완벽하게 닫습니다. 특히 Circle 뮤직 비디오와 앨범 HIGHLIGHTS의 세부 사항에 큰 관심을 기울였습니다. 심오한 가사가 있으면서도 'CARAMEL'처럼 감미로운 경쾌함이 특징인 앨범이기도 하다. 정말 잘 만들어졌어요. 새해에는 최선을 다하세요! 2024년에도 늘 옆에서 응원하겠습니다.

온유의 써클은 참 따뜻하고 포근하다.

진기의 목소리만 들어도 울컥했던 시간들도 분명 있었는데 시간이 지나 짧은 방학을 끝내고 건강하게 돌아온 진기의 모습을 보며 요즘 행복한 나날들을 보내고 있네😊 힘든순간이 찾아와도 결국은 돌고돌아 다시 따뜻한 봄이 찾아온다는 사실을 꼭 마음속에 새겨둬야지~ 고마워 진기야 다 너 덕분이야❤ 멀리서 가수 온유를 이진기라는 한사람을 항상 응원할게~ 우리 오랫동안 보자❤

私の入眠ソング…オニュの声は宝物だと改めて思う一曲

Finally managed to watch the MV after a busy week full of work, and I'm now in tears .... I'll forever feel blessed for being here in this lifetime with SHINee... Jinki's voice always feels like a warm hug after a long day, and it just got so much better here in Circles .. thank you, Onew, for this beautiful song, for always trying new things, for just being you.

#1 Kpop Album 2023 by Billboard, you're the best leader-nim

This song is STUNNING. Onew has always been a great vocalist, amazing even. But the tenderness with which he sings this song actually touched me which personally, doesn’t happen often. The lyrics are beautiful and hopeful in a way i don’t find cringe. I just love this. A true modern ballad.

This has one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

Whoever needs to heal, or you know someone that needs some comfort, this album is so warm and calm. How can a voice be so sweet? I hope all of you can find peace while listening to this masterpiece. Please stay healthy and happy. Onew, thank you always. I’m so proud and I’m so glad I met you in this life. I know this song - and all bsides - will make my way through life a bit more joyful ❤

The more I listen to his voice the more I’m at peace and I don’t think I’m the only one who feels that way.

Onew definitely has one of the most distinctive voices in kpop, I could recognise his voice from space.

THE KING IS BACK

What is amazing about Onew is that this type of music might not be for everyone, and yet, he has earned so much respect and admiration from even those people. It's REALLY difficult to do that, but his unique voice and the way he knows how to perfectly navigate through music, is just above and beyond. You can't help but admire him.

It is a song , a poem , an art. The concept of the song is not a cliche’ love story ,but a profound and wide meaning about life and nature. The voice and the style are all unique and amazing❤ But the dog looks a a little freaky😂😂😂

Circleをタイトル曲に選んでくれてありがとう！ MVも素敵 でも曲自体がもう素晴らしくて無意識に 目を瞑って聞き惚れてしまう

I don't know why.. but I cry SO MUCH with this masterpiece. His voice, the message, the incredible art and music production.. he's just one in a million of PURE ART

노래를 듣다가 뮤비까지 궁금해진 노래는 처음인거 같네요

Everything about this comeback has been so comforting. I'm so glad he's able to share the negative sides of things with us now without worrying that he should pretend to be happy all the time, it makes sharing his real happiness even more meaningful ♥️

I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite songs this year

Usually I have my favorite part about a song, this entire song is my favorite part. It's been too long since I heard a song that moved me like this

I'm still hypnotized by the Circle performance from Onew's Beyond Live! This track is truly an experience!

Circle is a song that only Onew can sing, there is no other person in the world capable of transmitting these feelings with as much depth as Onew does... it is a work of art, a masterpiece.

not only kpop It's totally different from anything i've ever heared in my whole life!!😭😭. so unique, meaninful, Healing & onew like😭💛 and the choreography in the concert gave me goosebumbs!! it's not only a song it's art!!🥺 Jin k popㅠㅠ Thanks onew and all admins, saff, evryone who workd hard for this mastrpiece to be born guys you are the best 🥺🙏🏻 I ㅇ U all so muuch from Egypt🇪🇬🇪🇬🥰🥰 ❤❤

Congratulations Onew on being ranked Billboard's #1 Kpop album for 2023!!!🎉

This is one of the most unique songs I’ve ever heard, it takes you on a journey that’s both heart wrenching and heart warming. every time I listen to it I get the urge to cry because all of the feelings that I’ve buried deep down start resurfacing, but by the end of the song I have this feeling of lightness that makes me feel like I’d be alright. Thank you so much for this amazing song, Onew.

this was my favorite kpop song that came out all year. he captured what it feels like to live in this song and it always touches me so much when i listen to it

わたしはこのうたを聴くたびに思う。このうたの一つ一つの言葉が、オニュの歩んできた今までの時間と重なり合って、本当に美しいうただなと思う。こんな宝石のような歌をこれからも歌ってほしい。

I cannot thank you enough for releasing this song, it helps me through my worst times like nothing else. You won't read this but i am eternally grateful and hope you are doing well

GOSPEL是亚洲很少人会做的风格， ONEW很有天赋，拥有很强的胸腔共鸣，他低音位置可以下探到很深，同时他具有高超的混音和转音技巧。同时，福音音乐要想取得大众共鸣，歌手对r&b的演绎尤为关键。Onew选歌很有品味，歌词技巧很好，是sm不可多得的好歌手！应该说他是艺术家！

평생 응원하고픈 가수

The video’s so eerie and foreboding, and his voice is so sweet and soothing. I love that he went creative and unique, rather than commercial. Dubu fighting, you’ve done soooo well!!!

Another comfort song to listen. This song reminded me how amazing Onew is as an artist. Onew fighting! Shinee fighting!

May it never end. The beauty and richness to your voice paired with the message of this song. May it never end. Thank you, Onew for such a sweet and pure song. Your solo album will soar, just as your vocals...🌹

Jinki is such a great artist. Not only a singer, but an artist in general. You can feel his emotions in his voice, not many people can do it these days. You always have my support, fighting!

This is legend. 我居然在1月1日听到了这首歌，哭得停不下来……万物的轮回……歌好听，温流的声音也美，mv制作得也很棒！希望2024年温流能回来，我要去看你们的演唱会啊！

いつまでもありのままの君を応援していくよ。Circle という素晴らしい曲は君の表現力で私の心に深く深く沁み通っていく。1周年おめでとう！

Congratulations Onew on Billboard #1 K-pop album!! You did great!!

Onew's voice is so peaceful and perfect!

오늘도 듣고 위로 받고 가

Congratulations for being chosen as Bilboards number 1 kpop album of the year!!!

I don't have better words to explain this, but this song feels like a poem, like a afternoon rain and autumn leafs and warm breeze during summer and snowflakes on skin and first spring flowers and so much more. Simple and beautiful.

Love the message of this song. Everyone is different but beautiful in our own way. We all stand under the same sun but cast different shadows. When one is happy, others may be unhappy. Life goes in cycles like the season. Be kind to others.

I like the feel of this album. I can sense the genuine feelings he poured out into the songs and it's very refreshing for songs from this genre. I feel like he's artistically mature and have found his own color. All the best for Onew!

이 노래 왜 이렇게 마음을 울리는지 모르겠어요

The world would be a better place if more people truly listened to Onew

This is a very well done MV, thank you to all staff and every person involved in Onew's comeback, you're the best!!

Congrats, Jinki!! Billboard's #1 Best Kpop Album of 2023!! Well-deserved!! Thank you for giving us this masterpiece album! I love you so much! I am so proud of you! 💗

オニュさん、何もかも全部が好きです。　今までコツコツと積み重ねきたその思いの丈は、これから必ず再開花するでしょう。このCircleのアルバムもオニュの才能が詰まっている、毎日聴いていても飽きることなく、こんな人初めてです。全力で応援だ。

A song can change the way you see yourself, the vision you have about the things around you. I want to hear more songs like this, I want to support artists like Onew who put his heart out there and deliver a message

오랬만에 음악이란걸 들었네

Congratulations Onew on Circle Album being recognised for the masterpiece that it is.

I'm a babywol, and I've been struggling a lot mentally, emotionally.. I've been moving on from the past, started living by myself under guidance to finally let go of an abusive parent. SHINee truly lit up the way for me when I was at my lowest, made me remember my love for kpop. Each member is so beautiful in their own way, and I adore every single one of them. Though, since I've been struggling, I've been listening a lot to their music as an entire group, each member individually, and yet when I feel at my absolute lowest I seem to be drawn towards Jonghyun and Jinkiʼs solo music. The two of them truly inspire me... And this song specifically just, hits very hard for me personally somehow. Jinki has a beautiful voice, a beautiful sound. I don't know what it is, but it truly brings me a bit of joy even when I feel this... Down. I don't know if I should say all of this under a comment I'm not even sure anyone will see, but it brings me peace knowing Jinki is back and is smiling again. He's an amazing singer, all of SHINee is. 5HINee forever ♥️‼️

Well deserved!! #1 Kpop Album 2023 by Billboard.

개빡칠때마다 써클하면 내 자신이 한없이 작은미생물에불과해서 평안함으로 이른다.

THIS IS A MASTERPIES. I was never into lyrics and music stuff but Onew's artistry is something else. How do I explain like some songs are meant to make you sad by the lyrics or the music and some happy but you know Onew is so great that this song will just touch your heart. I don't know if I am making any sense I just so amazed. They truly said only SHINee can outdo SHINee. If I would have been a jury member of The Grammy's I would have straight away given the award to THE ONEW. I just hope that I can listen to his and SHINee's music for the rest of my life.

This song is criminally underrated how come no one talk about this masterpiece

I just found this, and I'm stuck. The voice, the lyrics, the music, the film - everything is so beautiful. It's magical but real. Truly a gem.

Whenever I'm going through a rough time, I always watch this video and I feel a bit better.

One of the most beautiful voices in the world! I hope Onew is well. Much love

There's such tenderness whenever it comes to Onew. He's a beautiful man. And he has such a lovely voice and this is a very lovely song. I'm at peace🕊️
