The band ONEWE (Yonghoon, Kanghyun, Harin, Dongmyeong Kiwook) will release their second full-length album, ‘WE: Dream Chaser’, through various music sites at 6 PM on the 5th.

‘WE: Dream Chaser’ is ONEWE‘s first full-length album in approximately 5 years since their first full-length album, ‘ONE’. Ahead of their comeback, ONEWE has heightened curiosity with teaser content that strengthened their band identity, and we’ve pointed out three reasons to look forward to this album.

● 11 tracks all self-composed... musical evolution without limits

‘WE: Dream Chaser’ is an album that contains everything about ONEWE as they chase their dreams, just like the album title suggests. It heralds a wide musical spectrum that reflects the individuality of the five members.

All 11 songs, including the title song ‘The Starry Night’, ‘Alice’, ‘The Villain Waits for the Hero‘s Transformation (EVILDOER)’, ‘One-Way Traffic (一方通行: Traffic Love)’, ‘Coincidence’, ‘Pure Love (純愛: Endless)’, ‘Rise Again’, ‘Cheongcheon-eul (靑天乙: Dreamcatcher)’, ‘All the things I love’, ‘Indelible’, ‘Sole Star’, are self-composed, showing the limitless musicality of Onewe. Shows musical evolution.

● Title song ‘The Starry Night’, a Wonwe rock band song… dreamy space sensibility

The title song ‘The Starry Night’ is a Wonwe rock band song with a bright and exciting guitar sound. It depicts a pure dream of being together forever while looking at the starry night. It is a song written by member Kang Hyun and Ki Wook also participated in writing the lyrics. In particular, as Wonwe foreshadowed the sound of racing through the night sky and lyrical lyrics related to stars through the music video teaser, attention is focused on the dreamy space sensibility unique to Wonwe that will be shown through the new song.

● Holding their first world tour… Expanding Global Activities

ONEWE will be holding their first world tour since their debut, ‘2025 ONEWE WORLD TOUR ’O! NEW E!volution Ⅳ‘’, starting in Vietnam on the 21st. They will then hold encore concerts in North America in April and May and in Seoul on June 14th and 15th. Through this tour, ONEWE will present a powerful and brilliant band performance, covering not only new songs from their second full-length album but also their representative songs so far. They plan to expand their activities globally and show off their presence as a ‘talented boy band’.
