On October 3rd, Onew shared the first teaser for the music video of his mini-album 'TOUGH LOVE' and its title track on his official YouTube channel.
In the teaser, Onew is seen being pushed by a mysterious sphere through a silent, deep tunnel, bearing the weight of his destiny. Despite repeatedly stumbling and falling under relentless pain, he rises again and runs forward. The video concludes with Onew reaching a dazzlingly bright exit.
The teaser reveals the song's empowering lyrics, 'Jump in jump in to the end of the world / Dive in dive in without fear,' for the first time. Contrasting with the previously released album preview, the chorus features Onew's captivating vocals, enhancing the emotional depth over an addictive sound.
The mini-album 'TOUGH LOVE' breaks away from typical love stories, weaving various facets of love in the world into a novel-like album. Onew participated in both writing and composing for the first time since his debut.
'TOUGH LOVE' is set to be released on various music platforms on October 9th at 6 PM.
