ONEUS Wraps Up First Week of Promotions for New Track 'IKUK': 'Intense + Powerful' High-Difficulty Choreography


Group ONEUS (Seoho, Leedo, Keonhee, Hwanwoong, Xion) has once again proven their title as the "4th Generation Representative Performers" with their powerful comeback performances.


Following the release of their special album Dear.M on January 14, ONEUS kicked off their comeback promotions with stages on Mnet's M Countdown (Jan. 16), KBS2's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core, and SBS's Inkigayo. The group showcased their title track "IKUK" and the B-side "Rupert's Drop", delivering performances that were both visually striking and emotionally resonant.


For "IKUK," ONEUS transformed into captivating vampires, donning diverse suit styles that enhanced their dark and alluring concept. The choreography featured high-difficulty moves, including a dramatic upside-down suspension, a dance break that commanded attention, and intricate group formations with backup dancers. Each performance felt like a theatrical production, leaving audiences spellbound.


The group also performed the fan-dedicated track "Rupert's Drop", which features delicate acoustic guitar sounds. ONEUS expressed their love and gratitude to their fandom, To Moon, delivering a warm and heartfelt message through their performance.


Fans worldwide were quick to praise the group's stage presence, leaving comments like, "Even upside-down, their live vocals are perfect," "The stage is so immersive," "If vampires are like this, I wouldn't mind being bitten," "In the title track, they’re vampires; in the B-side, they’re spring itself," and "A performance that uplifts fans with incredible live vocals."


Dear.M is an album prepared as a gift for To Moon, reflecting ONEUS's consistent appreciation for their fans' unwavering support. The album includes 17 tracks, featuring 4 new songs, the fan song "Rupert's Drop", and re-recorded versions of previous title tracks. The members also contributed to the album’s credits, showcasing their growing musical capabilities.


Meanwhile, ONEUS is set to hold the finale of their second world tour, ONEUS 2ND WORLD TOUR 'La Dolce Vita' Final in Seoul, on February 1–2 at Daeyang Hall, Sejong University, in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, reconnecting with their fans on a grand scale.
