ONEWE, a talented band, demonstrates its musical capabilities with a winter season song.

On the 14th, ONEWE (Yonghoon, Kanghyun, Harin, Dongmyeong, Kiwook) released a digital single called "Ferris wheel."

"Ferris wheel" is a song written by member Ki-wook and is based on a band sound that combines cheerful rhythm and warm melody. In the end, like a Ferris wheel returning to its place, the moment when it turns around and faces its first love again was solved with ONEWE's own lyrical sensibility.

The committee will then present its demo album '4th Demo Album 'STUDIO WE: Recording #4' on the 30th. It contains the first guide version of ONEWE's whimsical songs, including the title song "Ferris wheel." ONEWE plans to convey its true charm by capturing the first impression of the song in the rough texture that has not been refined.

The following is ONEWE's question and answer ahead of the release of its new song "Ferris wheel."

Q. We have released our new song "Ferris wheel" in about three months since the release of our 4th mini album "MAZE: AD ASTRA". How do you feel about releasing your first new song?

Yong-hoon: I'm excited to release a new song in a new year after finishing 25 years well. Please look forward to it as much as it's a good start.

Kang-hyun: I think the start of the 26th year will be better because we can play the first song of the new year with a fresh and exciting atmosphere.

Dongmyeong: I'm very excited to say hello with a new song after our 4th mini album promotion. If "MAZE : AD ASTRA" was an album that showed our inner side and direction, I think "Ferris wheel" is a song that goes well with the beginning of the new year, and it's a song that's warm and focused on emotions. Thank you for filling the first song of the new year with ONEWE's own color, and I hope it will be a small comfort to everyone listening to this song.

Q. The new song "Ferris wheel" is also Ki-wook's own song. What message did you want to put in the song?

Ki-wook: I tried to express a situation where fateful relationships continue to be mixed. The song contains the message, "Anyway, hope to come back, and patience to wait." It's a song that goes well with the weather, so I think it'll be good to listen to it as you wrap up this winter.

Q. Please let me know if there is a listening point of "Ferris wheel" and a part that focuses the most on expressing the song.

Yong-hoon: I tried to sing with a lot of moderation so that I could feel the soft atmosphere of the beginning of the year.

Ki-wook: Strings and guitars are the centerpiece in the theme part, while the pre-chorus and chorus have brass and firecracker FX sounds that make the sound more powerful and attractive. And I think the killing part is from bridge to Kiwook's outro.

Harin: The point is that while using a light rhythm as a drummer, he added a pencil-in to the structured section in between so that it doesn't sound boring.

Q. We will hold a solo concert "O! NEW E!volution V" in February. It signaled an infinite expansion, but what is a differentiated point that you can only feel in ONEWE's performance?

Kang-hyun: All the members were in charge of each song and participated in the arrangement, so you can look forward to an arrangement that is different from the sound source and can only be seen at concerts.

Dongmyeong: I think the biggest feature of ONEWE's performance is that it is always 'present progressive'. Even if it's the same song, it naturally changes and expands depending on the emotions of the day, the atmosphere of the stage, and the chemistry with the audience. We try to melt our own delicate emotional expressions and narratives throughout the performance while maximizing the vitality of the band sound. In "O! NEW E!volution V," we plan to add another change to the musical journey we've built so far, and fill the stage with a different composition and sound than before. It is not just a performance to tell a song, but a time to experience a story and a flow of emotions together. Please look forward to it!

Harin: This concert hall is bigger than before, so we're preparing the stage so that you can feel more of the arrangement than the performances we've shown so far.

Q. We continued our steady musical progress and further solidified our presence in the band scene in 2025. Can you tell me if you feel the popularity of the band scene or if you have strengths of the band ONEWE.

Yong-hoon: First of all, I feel grateful that there are more stages for the band to stand on. I think ONEWE's strength is live. We're always working hard to show you better performances.

Kang-hyun: I definitely feel the atmosphere has changed. It seems that the process of repeating the performance to discuss and fill in the improvement points is the strength of the original committee.

Harin: I'm realizing the band boom. I hear a lot of people around me saying that they want to learn musical instruments, and I hear the reaction, "It's fun and fun, this is the taste of the band." ONEWE's own strengths are also revealed in the album, and it feels like each member's style is united.

Dong-myeong: Rather than realizing the popularity yet, I feel more grateful that more and more people are waiting for our music and continuing to visit us. It's an honor in itself that ONEWE is mentioned as part of the trend of the entire band scene attracting attention. The biggest strength of ONEWE is that all members participate in the song work deeply, and each personality naturally blends into one color. We value authenticity rather than splendor and emotions that last longer than instantaneous stimulation, and I feel that such attitude is revealed throughout our music and stage. I think the process of growing little by little in steadyness has made the current distinction.

Ki-wook: It was great to be on stage a lot in 2025, and I want to be on more stages in 2026. After watching our performance, we have a lot of new fans. Thank you so much to the fans who have been with ONEWE for a long time. I haven't forgotten my infinite love. ONEWE's strength is that the lyrics, emotions, and performances are fun

Q. Please tell us about your goals you want to achieve in 2026, including New Year's greetings for WEVE.

Yong-hoon: I was happy to have WEVE by ONEWE's side in 2025. I will try to give you greater happiness in 2026. There is no goal I want to achieve this year except to give WEVE overflowing happiness!

KH: In 2026, I hope WEVE will always be full of happy things. The goal of this year's album is to present a more advanced direction in terms of concepts and details than existing albums.

Harin: WEVE, I wish you all a healthy and passionate year for the Year of the Red Horse in 2026! As the year has started anew, I want to show WEVE and the public that they have grown more musically. Personally, I want to stay healthy for a year and move on looking for small happiness!

Dongmyeong: WEVE! Thank you so much for always walking at the same speed by our side. I hope 2026 will be a year for WEVE to cherish themselves a little more and have more days to smile. ONEWE wants to take another step forward in music and on the stage this year. We would like to walk our own path without being shaken so that we can meet in person with more performances and continue to hear the word 'one-way' above all. I hope we can continue to look at the same place together and walk for a long time. Happy New Year. Thank you!

Ki-wook: Happy New Year, WEVE! My goal for 2026 is to enter the music charts! We'll try our best!
