Wonho Unveils RAW Concept Photos for CORE Comeback After Nine Months

Singer Wonho is returning with a new album, 'CORE,' after about nine months. His agency, Highline Entertainment, released the first concept photo, the 'RAW' version, for 'CORE' through official SNS channels on the 6th.

These images showcase the initial atmosphere of the album. Wonho first revealed the direction of his comeback with a rough and deepened mood, different from his previous image.

Torn wings in ruins and intense gaze

The background in the released photos is a ruin-like space scattered with old mattresses and bathtubs. Wonho displayed a variety of emotions, appearing sitting alone with torn wings, leaning against a bathtub with a contemplative expression, and staring directly into the camera.

Scattered feathers and broken glass shards are placed throughout the frame. The production, which alternates between black and white and color, the styling that stripped away flashy decorations, and his firm facial expressions focused on an unadorned atmosphere, much like the name 'RAW.'

'CORE,' featuring participation in producing all tracks

The core lies in the music production as well. Since his solo debut, Wonho has participated in the entire process of songwriting, composing, and arranging for all his released albums, and he is credited on all tracks for 'CORE' as well.

As this is his first new release in 9 months, attention is focused on what kind of music Wonho will unfold through the producing experience he has built up. As Wonho first presented a strong visual with the first concept photos, fans are watching closely to see what kind of sound he will deliver on the actual release.

Wonho's new album 'CORE' will be released worldwide through various online music platforms on the 21st at 6 PM.
