ONEWE Sub-Unit Drops Official ‘SALTY BOY’ MV

On August 29, the official ONEWE YouTube channel uploaded the “SALTY BOY” music video. It follows Dongmyeong and Giuk as the duo spends time at an isolated roller rink. Needless to say, it creates a fitting backdrop for the song’s sentiment.

“SALTY BOY” serves as the title track for ONEWE’s 2nd special album, ‘XOXO.’ The song delves into the theme of unrequited affection. It perfectly captures the essence of being attracted to someone who appears indifferent or disinterested.

With this release, Dongmyeong and Giuk showcase their musical prowess and storytelling abilities. They manage to draw listeners into the emotional nuances of their track. The accompanying music video adds an evocative visual dimension to the song. It certainly enhances the overall impact of “SALTY BOY” as a compelling addition to ONEWE’s repertoire.

Son Dongmyeong and Lee Giwook, along with drummer Ju Harin, are currently the only active members of ONEWE. Singer Jin Yong Hoon enlisted for military service as an active-duty soldier on July 12, 2022. He was soon followed by guitarist Kanghyun (Kang Hyun Gu) who enlisted as an active-duty soldier on August 2, 2022.

It’s no surprise that Dongmyeong and Giuk decided to form a subunit together. They are best friends who also happen to be the two youngest members of the band. Giuk was formerly known as CyA but RBW Entertainment confirmed he will use his birth name for all official activities starting March 9, 2023.

‘XOXO’ was released on August 29, 2023. The special album contains two unit songs which are “SALTY BOY” and “Omnipresent” by Harin and Giwook.
