Wonho is back again this time with his first single album. It looks like ‘Obsession’ will have many firsts, as the K-pop idol is experimenting with every aspect from the music style to the concept and music video.

Wenees (Wonho’s fandom) are thrilled as we are getting a new side to him with his new album.

Concept

Wonho creates a mysterious mood as the very first concept photos were of him staring at the camera through a broken mirror shard followed by him in a crouching position while an image of a wolf is projected in the back. He then goes for a natural charm as he sports beige-toned and pastel outfits with flowers and a natural backdrop. Wonho also shows a glamorous side to him as he wears a purple ruffled shirt with strings of pearl in the next teaser. The next set of concept photos is playful as he looks like a rebellious schoolboy which has fans excited for the b-side track ‘Somebody’. In the last concept, he sports vibrant but fashionable outfits with a sharp expression that hints at something dark to come.

Music video teaser

Wonho teased the comeback with a music video teaser of the title track ‘Eye On You’. As hinted from the concept photos, we get the idol striding in a snowy forest, surrounded by strobe lights and red thread while ominous music plays in the back. He sports dark eye makeup making it the focal point as we get a glimpse of the powerful mood he sets with a sexy dance move.
