A new story of ONEUS begins. ONEUS released the single 'Gen' today (20th) at 6 PM through various music distribution sites. The title track 'Grenade' is a song filled with uncontrolled extreme emotions over a heavy bass. The structure maximizes tension as the energy that was held back rushes forth at the moment the pin of the grenade is pulled. Amidst the bold sound development, ONEUS further expands their musical spectrum and delivers a strong immersive experience. In particular, members Goni and Fanung wrote the lyrics, doubling the unique conceptual charm of ONEUS. Through 'Grenade', they sing about a proactive attitude of choosing one's own direction rather than following predetermined rules. The music video released alongside the audio captures ONEUS running endlessly in a void towards a new tomorrow, embodying their strong charisma that even transcends imperfection, proving their worth as 'performers representing the 4th generation' with energetic and refined group choreography. Additionally, the new single 'Gen' includes three tracks: 'STOP & MOVE', a lively and funky mood that allows free steps, and 'When you're close to me', which flows along delicate emotional lines with a fantastical synth sound that leaves a deep aftertaste. 'When you're close to me' is a track recorded by member Soho before his enlistment, allowing fans to hear the voices of all five members, serving as a gift for them. 'Gen' signifies ONEUS's roots and beginnings. They are not simply returning but are unfolding an epic of rebirth after facing their roots. ONEUS is expected to clearly imprint the group's identity while covering diverse genres such as new disco and pop ballads, mobilizing their past music and performance abilities.
