K-pop boy band ONEWE showcased their musical prowess on KBS2’s ‘Immortal Songs – Singing the Legend’ featuring Baby V.O.X. In the episode aired on the 15th, ONEWE reimagined the legendary girl group’s hit song ‘Doll’ with a rock-infused band sound, delivering a compelling performance.
Despite going first—often seen as a disadvantage—the group delivered an electrifying stage that captivated the audience. Host Shin Dong-yup praised them, recalling their debut performance on the show: ‘Even in their first appearance, they defeated formidable seniors and secured two wins, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.’
The band’s unique interpretation of ‘Doll’ stood out, bringing fresh appeal to the song. Member Yonghoon confidently stated, ‘We’ll make it sexy,’ before taking the stage. His powerful high notes, Kanghyun’s dynamic guitar solo, and Giuk’s intense rapping created a perfect synergy, earning them a standing ovation.
Baby V.O.X’s Sim Eun-jin, who was present, complimented ONEWE, saying, ‘I’m a fan of ONEWE. Their flower-boy visuals and experimental music are truly impressive. Their reinterpretation of ‘Doll’ was astonishing.’ Fellow panelists also praised the group, with Lee Chan-won noting, ‘This is only their second appearance, yet they continuously deliver outstanding performances,’ and EXID’s LE adding, ‘I watched with a big smile on my face.’
ONEWE’s rapid growth is undeniable, as they secured three wins in just their second appearance on the show, reinforcing their reputation as a powerhouse band. Looking ahead, the group is set to embark on their worldwide tour, ‘2025 ONEWE WORLD TOUR: O! NEW E!volution IV,’ starting in Vietnam on the 21st, followed by stops in North America and Seoul. This tour promises to immerse global fans in ONEWE’s evolving musical journey.
Rather than merely performing, ONEWE continues to experiment and push musical boundaries, earning recognition from both fans and industry professionals alike. With their remarkable progress and innovative artistry, anticipation is high for what they will achieve next.
