ONEWE was formed in May 2015, as an independent group. At this point, they were known as M.A.S 0094. The letters in their name stood for Make A Sound, the 0094 representative of the birth years of the oldest and youngest members of the band.

Dear Jonghyun: A Tribute
The following will be an emotional mess but I'm not going to apologise and, as a devoted fan of SHINee for over five years now, I shouldn't have to. I'm not expecting many people to read this, but even if you didn't know who he was, I'd appreciate it if you could read just a little bit.
