ONEUS Ignites a New Era: Returning to Their Roots with Single Album ‘原’ on January 20! 🔥
The countdown is officially on, K-Pop stans! Get ready because chart-topping group ONEUS is making a powerful return, slated to drop their highly anticipated single album, ‘原’ (pronounced Won), on January 20. Hello Korea is buzzing with excitement as RBW confirms this release marks a profound journey back to the very essence of the group, promising to unveil the unchanging core of ONEUS that transcends time.
The title, ‘原,’ is more than just a character; it symbolizes ONEUS’s origin and beginning. This isn’t merely a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Instead, the group is set to unfold a narrative of rebirth, facing their foundational elements to powerfully rewrite stories for tomorrow. We anticipate a concept that explores their unique identity with fresh eyes and renewed determination.
Speaking of fresh perspectives, ONEUS dropped a mesmerizing logo motion teaser for ‘原’ on their official SNS channels on January 6. The video captivated fans with its stunning visual journey, depicting a crescent moon in darkness gradually transforming into a perfect circle. This powerful imagery symbolizes an odyssey through continuous chaos, ultimately leading to the discovery of one’s true origin—a concept that has only amplified anticipation for the album’s release. 🌕✨
This comeback is particularly significant, arriving approximately seven months after their 11th mini-album, ‘5x,’ which was released last June. Through ‘5x,’ ONEUS brilliantly combined the number ‘5’ (representing their five members) with the variable ‘x’ (symbolizing infinite possibilities), proving the boundless charm and potential each member possesses.
In fact, ONEUS has just wrapped up their highly successful ‘2025 ONEUS WORLD TOUR ‘H_OUR, US’,’ which saw them electrifying stages across the Americas, Asia, and Europe. This global feat firmly cemented their status as “4th Generation Representative Performers,” igniting global fans with their signature energetic live performances. Now, with the single album ‘原,’ they are poised to once again ignite a new flame of artistic growth and achieve yet another significant leap forward.
Get ready to mark your calendars! ONEUS’s single album ‘原’ will be available on various music streaming platforms starting January 20 at 6 PM KST. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a pivotal chapter for the group!
The energy ONEUS brings to every comeback is undeniable, and this return to their “roots” feels like a powerful reset, ready to propel them to even greater heights globally. We’re predicting major waves with this one!
