SHINee's Onew signs exclusive contract with new Griffin Entertainment
Griffin Entertainment is inspired by the guardian animal 'Griffin' that protects jewels in any adversity, and is expected to protect artists who shine with their own colors and provide a strong support to help them blossom with their talents and capabilities.
Jang Moon-seong, CEO of Griffin Entertainment, said, "We are happy to be with Onew in his new beginning. We will spare no effort in providing active support in various ways so that Griffin Entertainment can become a haven for artists."
Onew released a new profile photo along with the news of his exclusive contract. Onew, who looks stylish in a cozy knit outfit, boasts a more mature charm. A soft charisma can be felt in his serious eyes.
Onew, Griffin Entertainment's first artist, debuted as a member of SHINee in 2008 and is actively engaged in music activities not only as a group member but also as a solo artist. Onew has so far released two mini albums, 'VOICE' and 'DICE', and one full-length album, 'Circle', developing an unrivaled world of music. He solidified his position as a vocalist with both popularity and fandom by holding solo concerts across Korea and Japan.
