ONF is set to mark their eagerly anticipated group comeback after a hiatus spanning nearly two years. It will be their first group comeback since all members were discharged from military service.
ONF Confirms First Group Comeback Later in 2023
Media outlets broke the news on September 8th, signaling a thrilling return for ONF. The hiatus began in December 2021, when all five Korean members embarked on their mandatory military service shortly after the release of their 6th mini album, ‘Goosebumps’. This hiatus, though a necessary pause, left fans eagerly awaiting their return. However, good news arrived in June this year when all members successfully completed their military duties, paving the way for their comeback.
In a heartwarming reunion, ONF came together once more in July to grace the stage at the RBW family concert, ‘RBW 2023 Summer Festival – Over The Rainbow’. This performance served as a teaser for their impending comeback, reigniting the excitement and anticipation among fans.

ONF Then and Now
ONF, originally formed as a seven-member group on August 3, 2017, has evolved into a dynamic six-member ensemble. The current lineup comprises talented individuals: Hyojin, E-Tion, J-Us, Wyatt, MK, and U. Unfortunately, the group experienced a significant change in August 2019 when their youngest member, Laun, departed due to personal circumstances, coinciding with the release of their fourth extended play, “Go Live.”
Since their debut, ONF has maintained an impressive discography, including a studio album, a repackaged album, seven extended plays, and two Japanese singles following their Japanese debut on August 1, 2018. Their journey in the music industry has been marked by evolution and artistic growth, making ONF a noteworthy presence in the world of K-pop, with their devoted fanbase eagerly anticipating their every move.
The official date for ONF’s first group comeback has not yet been revealed. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
