Wonho, new album 'CORE' featuring his participation in full track production

Singer WONHO has announced his comeback by releasing a highlight medley video that offers a glimpse into the overall color of his new album, 'CORE'. His agency, Highline Entertainment, released the video through its official SNS channels on July 19, allowing fans to preview the tracks included in this new release.

In this album, WONHO demonstrates his capabilities not just as a singer, but as a producer. He directly participated in the songwriting, composing, and producing of all seven tracks, infusing his unique musical identity throughout the entire album. This work captures the journey of WONHO, who debuted as a member of MONSTA X in 2015, was active until 2019, and began his path as a solo artist in 2020.

A tracklist filled with seven different colors and their characteristics

The released video contains snippets of all seven tracks, including the title track 'Don't Wake Me Up!', as well as 'Answer', 'Can't Get Enough', 'Summer Blue', 'Down', 'Test Drive', and 'Promises (Feat. Brother Su).

The title track 'Don't Wake Me Up!' is a song that harmonizes a repetitive hook, a heavy beat, and explosive energy. The B-side tracks showcase various musical styles: 'Answer' features a rhythmical groove, while 'Can't Get Enough' conveys a sense of longing. 'Summer Blue' offers a refreshing yet nostalgic emotion, and 'Down' presents a house rhythm. Following that, 'Test Drive' is a pop R&B style, and 'Promises', featuring Brother Su, focuses on the theme of consolation.

The true flow of the heart revealed within the shell

The thematic consciousness of the album focuses on inner stories. The agency explained that the album 'CORE' contains the shell created to hide wounds, the protective shield built to protect oneself, and the true flow of the heart that ultimately reveals itself through the cracks.

Through this new album, WONHO musically unravels the protective shield and the flow of emotions revealed through its cracks. Having personally credited himself for the songwriting, composing, and producing of all tracks, WONHO participated in every stage of the album.

Official release on July 21 at 6 PM

WONHO's new album 'CORE' will be released on various online music platforms on July 21 at 6 PM. Having continued his unique path as a solo artist since 2020, WONHO has once again solidified his musical world through this album.
