[Interview ①] ONEUS: “Special album with re-recorded titles, a gift for our fans”

The group ONEUS makes a comeback with a special album containing re-recorded versions of their previous title tracks.

On the 14th, ONEUS, releasing the special album ‘Dear.M,’ met with Ilgan Sports at a cafe in Jayang-dong, Seoul, in the morning to share their thoughts on the comeback and introduce new songs.

ONEUS’s Hwanwoong said, “We are very excited to make a comeback after a long time at the start of the new year.

After finishing a survival competition with our fans recently and making our first comeback, I am looking forward to it and happy to show a new side,” he said. Keonhee mentioned, “While doing ‘Road to Kingdom’ recently, I think I learned a bit more about the importance of a stage,” adding, “I am eagerly anticipating and excited about ONEUS’s first stage in 2025.

I am most looking forward to fans liking it.

We prepared hard, and I want to show the stage as soon as possible,” he said.

‘Dear.M’ is a special album prepared by ONEUS for their fandom, To Moon.

The album includes 17 tracks, including the title song ‘IKUK,’ ‘We Are Young,’ which writes about our unending youth, ‘Devilish Love,’ depicting a love story that deepens as you struggle more, and ‘W,’ describing gratitude towards a faithful person, as well as the fan song ‘Rupert’s Tears’ and re-recorded versions of previous title tracks.

Keonhee said, “What we showed in the final of ‘Road to Kingdom’ was a stage without an audience, so the fans could not see it.

We wanted to show the stage and had confidence in it, so we planned the album thinking of giving a literal gift to the fans.

    Hey Kimchi ladies, if you’re so against men, why don’t you just not meet them if you don’t want to get hit, haha! Men might need it because of sexual desire, but you act like you can’t live without men. Hate men, meet men, get hit, rinse and repeat. Ridiculous!

A song reflecting feelings for the fans was included in the creation process.

Much emotion was poured into the competition,” he said.

About re-recording their previous titles, Keonhee said, “To show fans our current selves and due to a member leaving, these songs, which even we love very much, might bring any kind of discomfort or difficulty in loving them fully to the fans, so we thought giving the current version would have meaningfulness.

It was included as a gift for the fans,” he said.

This title track ‘IKUK’ is a rearranged version of ‘I Know You Know,’ which ONEUS showcased during the final live broadcast of the Mnet show ‘Road to Kingdom: Ace of Aces’ last year.

The song features a chic vocal intertwined with a funky and groovy sound, depicting the fatal charm of an irresistible vampire. Regarding showcasing the ‘vampire’ concept in their new song, it was mentioned, “This title song is what we presented at the ‘Road to Kingdom’ final.

We thought long about what kind of image to show through ‘Road to Kingdom,’ and felt that showcasing the vampire concept we did in the past would be liked by fans and, considering it is a special album for the fans, decided to introduce that concept,” they said. ONEUS will release their special album, ‘Dear.M,’ on various music platforms at 6 PM today.

They will meet fans during the final performances of their second world tour, ‘La Dolce Vita’ finale in Seoul, hosted at the Sejong University Daeyang Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on February 1 and 2.
