he doesn't lead, he guides. he stands behind his members and gently pushes them in the right direction. he's like a reassuring hand at the small of your back, silently directing you. I adore Onew's style of leadership. he lets everyone else shine. he's amazing.

I cried while watching this, Jinki is the type of leader who is just quietly watching out for his members at the back, letting them shine on the spotlight. He loves hugging, fixing their hair, sharing trophies, smiling at them, being goofy with them and even being there when they cry. I love how he cares for them, even if its just small gestures, its so freaking sincere. He loves them that's why 0T4 loves and respects him too. Others or even he, himself, might have overlooked his sincerity in being SHINee's leader, but we, Shawols, knows how much he love and treasure his members. This might have contributed to SHINee being the only intact group under SM, and I hope it stays as 0T5 from the beginning to end. Jinki is so precious I cant help but the fall for him more and more

watching this I don't think Onew see's himself as a leader to the rest of the guys it seems more of a big brother role

I love the fact that he doesn't go all out and do excessive stuff just to show that he's the leader of the group. He showers the members with attention and affection and that's why he's my ultimate bias. He's kind and selfless and sweet and gentle and.... ugh the list could go on forever. I love him.

In a way, Onew is like a gentle and affectionate dad who barely scolds his kids, but gets respect because he is always reasonable and understanding. While Key is the nagging mother that will scold you as she feeds you.

I'm so grateful that SHINee is led by one of the gentlest human being on this planet 🤧

He always care and support his younger brothers. Now his brother are protect him back.💎💎💎🥺

he always hold his tears so he can wipe his brothers first, he always hold his feeling so he can comfort his brothers first, he always smile in front of his brothers no matter what happen, he hides all of his problem so he can solve his brothers first, he always think of his brothers before him. I love you dubu❤

4:30 I love when Jonghyun letting Taemin's hand but he still hold tight Jinki's hand. Members really need their leader when they feel upset. Oh God, why i'm cried when i write this 😢😢😢😢😢😢 *sorry for my bad English

Onew is so precious. He must be protected at all costs.

Taemin to jongminkey: 🤪😎😏👻😈 Taemin to onew: 🥰😚🤗😍😘🤩

We don't need to huge fanservice or excessive mentioning about Onew's kindness. These little things that he does for his members really prove that he's *too* kind and humble. He's not really recognised as a great leader among kpop, but I believe he carries out his responsibilities in a way that it doesn't stand out too much to overshadow others or to become one of the major aspects of his personality. We know that even if he wasn't the leader, he still acts like the oldest hyung and yet is sometimes a cutiepie. We love his personality, and thank you for creating this video xD

thoroughly jealous of whoever ends up with him in the future. he's such a great role model, so kind, loving, sincere, humble...... :') i only wish him the best for his future.

Watching this in 2023 and still gets emotional.. he doesn't need everyone to acknowledge his leadership but i know the members and shawols can see that. His the leader that doesn't need the spotlight. I personally reflect how good jinki as a leader on how the members treat him, and how successful the members are.. i knew behind those success theres one hyung in back silently cheering for them,and being proud of them. .😢

Our Jinki!!

Yes all members are admitted Jinki is a good leader. He's warm, polite, always care, and is able to keep members well. Jinki, thank you for being so good leader. We, Shawols, lucky to have you❤👏

The little things he does are so sincere...and that's what makes him great! he genuinely cares for the other 4 members and they love him back. Best leader indeed! P.S. i never really see his actions as fan service

"best leader" ... that's the exact definition of SHINee Onew... not only voted by other kpop leader but also by the heart of his members,Shawols and by many... SHINee Best Leader Onew...

Sometimes, I sensed that Jjong was more like the leader (or Shadow Leader??) of the group coz whenever they promoting their album, Jjong was the one who spoke more about their album.. but now I see, Jjong wasn't acting as the leader but mostly as Onew Sangtae's break, like when they promoting DxDxD in Line live, Onew's been acting mischievous right from the start then Jjong gave him a warning stare to Onew to behave himself since Onew was the leader.. 🤣🤣 I'm thankful that Onew is the leader coz he always there to comfort his members.. Having crybaby members like Jongkey made him to be more mature.. and being the leader doesn't always make you have to be the best in all aspects but being a leader is when you know what you must do for your members.. thank you Onew, thank you Lee Jinki sshi.. you've been great leader for SHINee 🙂

this is too much for my heart to take all at once. i was so sad back then when people said that our dubu onew was not good at leading. but he have his own way to lead shinee to top. he's not walking infront of shinee to leading them nor walking behind them. he walk together with other member and together they walk to reach the top. it sad that people don't see what the fans see. he is such a fluff ball that don't deserve any hurt

lmao 90% of his life is cuddling up to his members and his members cuddling up to him.

He appears to be a very Fair And Neutral minded person. Very Respectful of other Peoples feelings . A Good Leader. And more like a Big Brother figure. ❤️🌹😊 for Our JINKI.

He silently takes care of all the SHINee members. Even his smile says he’s a genuine person, you can’t help but smile too.

He is an amazing humanbeing and a beautiful soul.. Such a great leader.. He might seem not so mature on the outside but he silently analyses everything around him and leads the group carefully.. Minho said it himself that Onew is the reason they've lasted together so long, being the only SM group to stay together for more than 8 years now... He has such a warm heart and a bright personality that will instantly put a smile on your face when you see him.. No wonder his dongsaengs love him so much.. A true leader he is...

I love onew, best leader

Actually I even never thought that he was the leader because he was humble to portray a great and not excessive image of a leader. Really I just knew recently, I never thought that they had a leader, now I know why shinee lasted so long.

I love how taemin hugs his onew hyung in 4:28. So much love you can feel..💕💕💕

KZfaq recommended me this again and I finished it with tears.. He's just too precious! He loves and cares for his members a lot. I don't think he sees himself as a leader he pushes them to the front as a hyung and silently watches over them with a smile. That's why he's shining in Shawol's heart

There were many times he bottled up his feelings.fo the sake of his members. He kept SHINee strong and firm tho he might be wrecked inside. He is our forever leader

i've been their fan since debut, what can i say is he's different from any other kpop group leaders (in my opinion). usually their members will mock and make fun of their leader but I do not see this thing in shinee. respect and love of SHINee members for him are very evident..they admire him a lot

The way he sees and speaks to them 💙 the leader who's quick to hug and comfort his members. Who's quick to help them shine in their own spotlight. How can you not love and respect this man 😢

Lee Jinki still being an amazing leader in the military 😍

Onew i love you so much💞💞💞💞😘😘😘😘

To who want to know why SHINee still strong even 8years ready and here is the reason why SHINee still strong:) because we has a kindness gentle nicely sweetest leader:') I'm so proud of you Jinki oppa

He leads in a way to where shinee shine the most.. non fandom doesn’t see this but shawol know how he look for everyone that it could crash him big time if he see anyone hurts.. being the eldest and a leader is really hard to take in at early stage but he took that responsibilities and since 2008 to current shinee still five and going strong .. so to those who don’t believe to our dobu leader we don’t care he doesn’t have to prove his self to anyone anymore .. only group that has all same talent same goal same hardworking people and shine no one left behind.. that’s our ot5 shinee

JINKI, HE IS ALWAYS SILENTLY THERE FOR EVERY MEMBERS

best leader of all time, members can be playful around him but still respect leader-nim.. he is real kind, humble and loving.. he really strong for not crying, instead he hug other crying members.. they're the best group with the best bond, with the best leader, love them so much.. please stay together forever.. TT

I did not know how many times I said this, but I love you Lee Jinki-ssi... cause, You are Special... You are Humble.. You are Incredible... You are Nice... You are Excellence... You are Extraordinary... You are Lovely... You are Exemplary... You are Amazing... You are Delightful... You are Enjoyable... You are Remarkable.. And I just want him to know that he's the best just the way he is. ✌당신을 사랑합니다✌

The members are blessed for having such a good leader like Onew. The important thing is that they love him and he love them. I hope that never change.

In a future he have children, is going to be the best father in the world. There three that I love from him: he gave lover and received it, he respect others, and last one he have a really big heart, I love him so much. I think that he is the same excellent leader from debut from now. I hope he never change

I want a hug from Jinki he gives such warm hugs

He's such a mom. I love him so much.

best leader in kpop ever proud of you ONEW 😢😙

Every member is comfortable with him .they took him not as a leader but as a hyung who is with them in every thing and support them staying together. Specially taemin is most closest as the right of youngest brother . Onew used to be closed with jonghyun as their age gap is very less . Onew considered a lot things when it comes about taemin. He really sees him as his child. You can feel it .Minho and key are not exception though. BEST LEADER OF ALL TIMES AMONG ARTISTS...NO ONE CAN DEFEAT HIM NOT OTHER 2nd 3rd 4th and upcoming gen idols..

Such a forgiving and sacrificing man... I have never seen some one like him in my life... I sincerely adore him, admire him and love him... Everytime I see this video I get so emotional... Thankyou for this video...

He is 7 years older than me but this man is so close to being my top bias. He is just such a sweet person

I come back here with tear up 😭😭😭😭.and today I miss u SHINee..Jinki a miss u

What a wonderful tribute to Leader Onew. Thank you for taking the time in putting together such a sweet video!

Shinee member always have a Soft spot for Onew. Onew is Leading the group with encouragement.. I feel like He is Always a resting place for the Member. That's why he is well respected. He accept all the member with a warm welcome. Like a Mom. Always a Good listener and supporter, to every membet. Without bias.. Onew, The Sun

Indeed a gentle & loving soul ONEW! Fans all over the world love you so much!

HE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL

He's the kindest person I ever know

i am crying :"( onew's personality is sooo soft and pure

LEE JINKI YOU ARE PERFECT DON'T FORGET IT. ❤❤❤

I cried while watching this. He really is the best leader. I miss him so much.

Its impossible for shawols not to cry seeing this beautiful video!!!

That's what a leader do stand next to his members a work hard alonside, doesnt take credit, and is there for each one, knows everyone because cares dir them, so he notice when somethin doesnt go well or when yo celebrate achievments and encureage other to go an a good direction. Thats why í beleieve shinee is one le the best k group out ther. They work toguether, know eachother well, they are pasionate about what they do, give their everything and have diferent complementing personalitys. Í lo ve then all thought í get to know about them recently í missed their development as a group, í believe their are unique ❤

I honestly cried while watching this! To think how much he has supported the members throughout everything and puts the other members first is truly inspiring! One is the essence of a true leader ❤️

Onew will always be there at the times of your need whether good or bad he will hug you to comfort you and praise you for your achievements and I know that what we are struggling with right now that the one thing I know for sure is that onew is not alone. The other members though may seem busy and have their own schedules will always come by or hang out with onew to give him comfort. This is SHINee beyond the contract and beyond just being formed to profit they are family that cares for each other.

best leader ever 😭 we're so lucky to have Onew as our leader ❤

That's why i love you so much jinki❤

ONEW has always a refreshing aura that upon looking at him you will get hooked especially when he smiles....He is appealing in every ways...so handsome

おにゅペンでよかった。しゃうぉるでよかった。 こんなに素晴らしい5人に巡り会えたことに感謝します。

Love you onew..❤❤❤

Jinki is one of the purest souls ❤️❤️❤️

He is really an amazing leader ...one who doesn't stand infront or steals the spotlight but one who is with the group and let's everyone shine ....being a leader is tough because if you mess up then the blame will go on the group so those who say he isn't trying his best just think if u had to lead a group to success with so many people ready to criticize... I relate so much to onew even I find it hard to express what I feel and it only comes in song writing for me and singing ... This man is talented so stop sleeping on him and appreciate him and him being the backbone of shinee 💜💜💜 stay strong onew

The way onew look at members is so lovely. I can feel 😚😊💕

Onew is The Best Leader ❤️

Thank you for make me cry, this is the first video i see about the hard work Jinki put in SHINee, one day, I run to Jinki and say "Thank You, Leader, for everything, for make SHINee to Shine, for support all the memeber, for take care of all they and even you, for be one of the best leaders in every world, for being part of SHINee, for everything" Fak im crying 😭😭😭😭💔 And Tank U for make this video

i always admire shinee teamwork, them being the only group with original members since debut, i get why people say onew is a great leader, they might have their ups and downs, they might not show their closeness on sns or public, but the fact that they still together without showing off their affections says sooo much! keep strong shinee, hwaiting to our leader and his brothers!

i respect him so much. you can tell that he's the more mature among them and it's like he takes care of the other members ❤

I really love the facts that the other members really love and adore him so much as a leader and a big brother :") he such a pure and kind person. Seeing him got into a sexual harrasement case a few days ago made me sad and i just can't believe it, i knew he will never do that to any girls out there. He just drunk guys :" he didn't know anything. He even couldn't answer the police's questions because he's too drunk 😭 i love him so much and i've been with shawol since their debut. Be strong onew ❤️ shawol will always besides you no matter what 😘

Onew is best at all. love you; love shinee.

forever thanking and blessing this beautiful soul who created this video! we all needed this...Onew seems to get ignored by fans sometimes but he is the silent support that supports Shinee like a the strong central pillar..my first ultimate bias..my Onew..i love this guy so much! he is one of the best leaders...

i love 2minkey reaction in the end...... SHINee really love each other 😍😍

It made me cry, I don't wanna this video to end, I need more more and more, how can someone be that sweet, caring, Nice , pure and adorable. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I wish all the happiness in the world for him. Our sweet leader. He deserves to be loved, cared, appreciated and protected. #WeLoveJinki #SHINeeIsBack

his personality suits his face, sweet and angelic ❤💕

You can't help but love Onew 💗

I always end up smiling while crying after watching this video. This is one of the reasons why I fell in love with Onew. ♡

He is the best leader ever. Maybe A lot of people will speculate this, but u have to see this video. How he care to the other members, and how the other members love and always cares to him. They're not just as partner of work, but also as family. Their friendship is my goal of friendship as well. 😍😍😍

I love him he is perfect

Tears ran down my eyes after watching this.. this video reminded me how much soft gentle jinki had to go through after jonghyun oppa's incident.. i had to watch half of the video to stop myself from crying and to stop myself from remembering those days... jt hurts a lot.. anyways JINKI is back from his service... yeahhh

Whenever I listen FOREVER MORE sung by you I feel your presence with me.Thanks for always being there. Jinki oppa stay healthy,eat well♥️#SHINeeForever#ShawolForever❣️✨❣️

I can't help but loving him more and more

This was so touching! I'm so proud of Dubu Leader Onew!

Encantador Onew, su dulce personalidad le da un aura especial y por ende a su grupo SHinee for eber!!!

The very first thing came to my mind when we lost our Jonghyun was, "How's Onew?".. especially when I saw the footage when he hugged Key. But as days passed by, i am so grateful all of them are getting stronger in their own way. #shawolsince2009

Best leader ever.

What can I conclude in this video is Jonghyun is a cry baby.. Hahahaha.. In a good way i means.. I see that Jonghyun has a soft heart.. despite his cheeky personality..kekeke And Onew always try to calm Jonghyun whenever he crying.. Onew is the best leader and the best hyung for his dongsaeng.. lovelyy

Onew is so kind and loving.❤❤❤❤❤

When Key mouthed saranghae to Onew, I died! I love this group!

He is the best leader I've seen in kpop, more like a big brother for them. #loveyouonewoppaa❤️

I love Shinee specially ONEW
