"Winner” is the title track from ONEW's highly anticipated fourth EP, CONNECTION. This release follows the success of his previous mini album, Flow, which marked his triumphant return after a long health hiatus.
Last December, ONEW dropped his pre-release single, "Mansae" which featured a vibrant and eye-catching vibe.
This release is extra special, as it comes just after ONEW celebrated his sixth anniversary of his solo debut on December 5, 2024. For those who have been following his journey, this milestone is a reminder of how far he's come and the impact his music continues to have.
But the excitement doesn't stop there as ONEW is preparing for his ONEW THE LIVE: CONNECTION concert tour, starting February 15. The K-pop star will visit venues Yokohama Arena, Seoul Olympic Hall, Taipei Music Center, and Macau Broadway Theater.
