Concert Spotlight: ONEW at Kings Theatre
The global phenomenon of K-Pop continues its dominance in 2026. On January 16, ONEW—the soulful vocalist and leader of the legendary group SHINee—performs a solo show at the historic Kings Theatre in Flatbush.
The Venue Match-Up
Seeing a K-Pop idol in a venue like Kings Theatre is a unique experience. Unlike the cold steel of an arena, Kings Theatre is a restored 1929 movie palace dripping with French Baroque ornamentation. The acoustics are warm and intimate, perfect for ONEW’s vocal-centric performance style which leans heavily into ballads and emotional resonance.
Fan Culture
Expect the area around Flatbush Avenue to be buzzing hours before the show. Fans (Shawols) often organize cup-sleeve events and fan projects nearby. If you are attending, bring your lightstick—the sea of pearl aqua green light against the theatre’s gold leaf ceiling will be a sight to behold.
