SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Known for their unique storytelling and futuristic universe crossovers, K-Pop group ONF (read ON and OFF) now presents their new SUMMER POPUP ALBUM [POPPING] today via Sony Music Entertainment Korea. Filled with five refreshing but emotive summer tracks, ONF is prepared to cool the heat with their summer album.
If ONF’s last two albums were about youth and freedom, then this new summer album brings yet another immersive message about being always together no matter the circumstances – and in ONF’s universe it’s the return of the ice age. Each of the songs represent different summer stories, containing ONF’s distinctive vocal styles and expressions. SUMMER POPUP ALBUM [POPPING] first begins with the refreshing and energetic Funky Disco title track ‘Popping’ that immediately makes you want to dive into summer. The second track, ‘Summer Poem’ is based upon Bosa Nova rhythm delivering a poem that sings of “you and I from our youth”, while the track ‘Summer Shape’ is about how each summer comes in different shapes and form to people. Then, ‘Dry Ice’ introduces a contrasting mood not only sonically but also lyrically, and finally ends with ‘Summer End’, a city pop track that evokes the feeling of nostalgic summer as the hot season comes to an end.
ONF has risen to popularity through their eye-catching and compelling storytelling performances presented on Mnet’s ‘Road to Kingdom’ in 2020. Their high spirits and energy shown not only through their music but also through their visual productions have garnered a newfound loyal following of fandom and continues to grow each day. Their energetic anthem “Beautiful Beautiful” from their previous two albums [ONF:MY NAME] and [CITY OF ONF] has been named as one of ‘The Best K-Pop Songs of 2021 So Far’ by TIME magazine; the song also peaked at No. 7 on South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart, becoming the group’s highest charting single. ONF steadily grows with each release as they continue to reach new heights through their compelling messages and storytelling unique to their identity and music.
