What is the reason for the fandom division after Onew left SHINee? From Onew's past controversies to the conflict between the music distribution team and the tofu factory, we've sorted out the complicated situation within SHINee World. Where is the path to fandom unity?

Why did the On-Yu withdrawal strike start?
The recent all-out campaign demanding member Onew's withdrawal has become a hot topic within the SHINee fandom, SHINee World. Fans are focusing on X Twitter.

They are demanding his withdrawal from the group by using hashtags such as '#OnewTalLeave' and '#OpposeOnewShineeActivities'.

It seems that this situation is not simply a matter of personal grievances, but rather stems from various conflicts within the fandom.

1. Is On-yu's past controversy a spark?
In 2017, Onew was embroiled in controversy over sexual harassment allegations that occurred at a club in Gangnam. At the time, he was drunk and made unintentional physical contact, which led to misunderstandings, and while undergoing a police investigation, he withdrew from the drama and suspended his activities.

Although he spent the next four months reflecting and apologizing in a handwritten letter, it left some fans with deep disappointment. This incident still remains a trust issue within the fandom, and is considered one of the reasons for this withdrawal request.

2. Conflict between the 'Eumchong Team' and the 'Tofu Factory' within the fandom
Onew's withdrawal is not simply due to past controversies. The recent explosion of conflict between the fandom's music team (hereinafter referred to as the Music Team) and Onew's personal music team, Tofu Factory, is also a major cause.

The music team is an organization that operates to unite fandom power and improve music charts. However, when Tofu Factory independently collected IDs and conducted music chart fundraising, power was divided and internal conflicts arose.

In particular, the music team criticized Tofu Factory for refusing their request for cooperation and causing a fight between fandoms. On the other hand, Tofu Factory countered that the music team was shifting the responsibility to them, and the conflict intensified.

3. Problems raised by the announcement of the disbandment of the music team
The controversial group, Sound Team, officially announced its hiatus on the 16th. They stated that they were shutting down the group due to a lack of staff and operational difficulties. Fans are raising their voices in criticism, saying that this announcement was made without completely resolving the conflict with the tofu factory.

Ultimately, in this situation, some fans are once again mentioning their disappointment in Onew and expanding the controversy by demanding his withdrawal.

SHINee fandom, what is the future direction?
With Onew's comeback and Asia tour schedule announced, there are growing concerns that the conflict within the fandom could have a negative impact on the group's overall activities. The fandom is currently divided into three main positions.

1. Fans who support Onew's activities in SHINee
2. Fans opposing and urging withdrawal
3. Fans who are disappointed with the fandom conflict and remain neutral

Attention is focused on whether unity between fandoms can be achieved and what impact this will have on Onew's activities and SHINee's image.
