The group ONEUS closed the first act with the music most characteristic of ONEUS and has taken a new starting line.
ONEUS released the full audio of the single album "原 (Won)" and the music video for the title track "Grenade" at 6 p.m. on the 20th on various music platforms.
This album is meaningful as it is the last new song ONEUS will present before leaving RBW, where they had been for the past seven years. Earlier, ONEUS released that they would terminate their exclusive contract with RBW at the end of February. Accordingly, ONEUS will complete all official schedules as artists under RBW after the release of this album and the end of their broadcast activities.
Separate from the termination of the exclusive contract, ONEUS's group activities are expected to continue unchanged going forward. The reason the album "原" means "origin" and "beginning" is also because the members' firm determination to move toward higher places is contained in it, based on the musical nourishment they have accumulated.
The title track "Grenade" is a song that sensorially depicts uncontrollable extreme emotions over a heavy bass. Like the split-second moment of pulling the pin on a grenade, the composition, in which pent-up energy surges and explodes all at once, delivers an overwhelming tension. In particular, members Geonhee and Hwanwoong wrote the lyrics themselves, adding authenticity to the song.
I'm so gone, you already know / deeply falling in Let it slow / this is not the end but the beginning's grow / can't stop Baby / Turn it loud / Watch me comin' now / feel it forever Still on fire / We gon' be up all night / Fire in the hole
The jointly released music video symbolically depicts ONEUS constantly racing through a space of nothingness toward a new tomorrow. Their strong charisma that even surpasses imperfection and energetic yet restrained group choreography once again prove why ONEUS is called a "stage genius."
Since their debut, ONEUS, which has achieved stepwise growth by mastering various genres such as nu disco and pop ballads, has compiled their musical capabilities in this album. Having captured seven years of growth in the album "原," expectations are growing for what new activities they will continue to pursue.
