The group The Wind (Kim Hee-soo, Thanaton, Choi Han-bin, Park Ha-yu-chan, Ahn Chan-won, Jang Hyun-jun) appeared on various music shows, starting with Mnet‘s ‘M Countdown’, KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’, and SBS‘s ‘Inkigayo’ last week, to perform their second single album ‘Only One Story’ and the title song ‘Only One’.
‘Only One’ is a pop punk genre song that sings about the one and only friendship of six youths and their determination to run endlessly toward tomorrow with The Wind’s unique Youth+Teen refreshing colors. The Wind leads the catchy melody with energetic vocal harmonies and rich emotional expressions, and adds addictiveness and lingering emotions with the refreshing feeling that they have shown so far and the vague yet deep emotion.
On stage, The Wind showed off their dazzling visuals, from their stylish uniforms to their refreshing styling full of spring energy. The Wind‘s unique powerful energy as well as their diverse choreography that brought out their lyrical charm provided enjoyment. The killing points, such as the gesture of poking their cheeks to the sound of the second hand of the clock, the movement of spreading both arms and flying above the clouds, and the pair choreography of holding hands with outstanding chemistry, increased the fun of watching.
The two versions of the ‘Only One’ dance challenge, each utilizing the highlight section and hook, are also captivating fans. In addition, The Wind communicated with fans through various contents such as CHK CHK (moist), Wow Studio, and lyric reading ASMR. On the 21st, they held a YouTube live broadcast to celebrate member Ahn Chan-won’s birthday, making their first week since their comeback even more meaningful.
Along with the title song, the intro track ‘Intro: My’ that announces the start of the album with a magnificent orchestral arrangement, and the ballad ‘Memory Photo Album’ that touches the heart with its beautiful melody and honest voice, all the songs in this album ranked on the Thai iTunes Top Songs chart. Also, the ‘Only One’ music source and music video are receiving favorable comments, so it seems that The Wind‘s upward trend will continue.
The Wind plans to promote ‘Only One’ through various music broadcasts and contents.
