Singer-songwriter O.WHEN (O.WHEN) joins content planning and production label ATCM to begin full-scale music activities.

On the 22nd, ATCM announced O.WHEN's addition, stating, "Through various projects, we plan to expand O.WHEN's unique story by naturally continuing the artist's distinctive color based on his delicate sensibility and musical narrative that only O.WHEN possesses."

As their first project with ATCM, O.WHEN will present a four-part cumulative EP. This project will release new songs monthly, which will accumulate sequentially to form one complete album in December, capturing the emotional transformation of an individual moving through slumps and inner turmoil toward maturity across four distinct stages.

This four-part EP is a project that honestly records the emotions leading to appreciating the process of making music itself and deepening understanding and love for those who have stayed by one's side. The first song "Shadow," which marks this beginning, captures feelings from the darkest period.

"Shadow" is an acoustic genre track that portrays self-blame encountered during periods of constantly having to prove results and loneliness regarding a stagnant reality. O.WHEN's raw vocals are layered over minimalist guitar melodies, expressing complex emotions calmly yet honestly.

O.WHEN shared directly about the song's meaning: "There was a time when I started music, received excessive love, and ran forward without looking back. But from some point on, I found myself constantly pushing myself while being chased by immediate results and achievements." He added, "The anxiety and self-blame that others were moving ahead while I remained stuck in the awkward position of my childhood kept me trapped in my room for a long time."

Starting anew with ATCM, O.WHEN plans to complete the project by releasing new music monthly beginning with "Shadow." As he expresses honest stories derived from his own experiences through music, showing deeper sensibility and new musical direction, attention is gathering on O.WHEN's journey.

Meanwhile, O.WHEN's new single "Shadow" will be released today (22nd) at 6 p.m. through various music platforms.
