TODAY’s COMEBACK: ONEUS Unveils Mini Album ‘5x’ — A Bold Leap Into Limitless Musical Realms

ONEUS is embarking on an ambitious new chapter with the release of their 11th mini album 5x, dropping at 6 PM KST today (June 30). Fusing bold sound experimentation with immersive visuals, the group invites fans to join them on a genre-defying musical journey.

Leading the album is the title track ‘X’, which flips conventional musical expectations by foregrounding a funky bass riff and crafting the soundscape entirely from melodic instruments. The result? A boundary-pushing sonic experience that marks a distinct evolution in the group’s artistry. The high-concept music video mirrors this innovation, set against cosmic visuals and high-fashion aesthetics, it showcases ONEUS leaping through vast dimensions, grounded by their trademark explosive choreography.

Helping elevate the performance is Renan, the choreographer behind aespa’s “Whiplash,” who brings dynamic movement and polished intensity to the group’s captivating stages.

Tracklist Full of Emotion and Edge

Beyond the title track, 5x offers a rich palette of styles and emotions:

• ‘LOVE ME or LOSER’ blends dreamy tones with sharp beats, exploring the duality of love and absence.

• ‘RELOAD’ builds cinematic tension, thriving in the suspense of quiet moments.

• ‘BAD’ draws listeners into a hypnotic cycle of inevitable attraction despite detours.

• ‘TIME MACHINE (Korean Ver.)’ radiates with nostalgia and wonder, evoking the innocence of joyful memories.

Every track features songwriting contributions from the members, deepening the emotional and artistic resonance of the album.

The album title 5x symbolizes ONEUS’s unity as a five-member team (“5”) and their ever-expanding creative range, represented by the variable “x.” Just like an algebraic unknown, “x” holds limitless potential—and ONEUS is embracing that uncertainty to push past limits and write a bold new story.

As they tear down stylistic boundaries and reinvent their sound, ONEUS proves they’re not just creating music—they’re crafting a world uniquely their own.
