Ex-Monsta X member Wonho, back with second K-pop solo album, Love Synonym #2: Right For Us, says this is just the beginning
- The K-pop star left Monsta X two years ago, and has come into his own through his Love Synonym albums
- He talks about getting his message across to his fans, and how he likes to be ‘regular Wonho’ on Instagram
Back in September, K-pop star Wonho released his first solo album, Love Synonym #1: Right For Me. Last month, he shared Love Synonym #2: Right For Us. Together, the series is an expression of his thanks to those who have supported him during the toughest time of his career, and now he’s ready to move on.
For Right for Us, his lead track was the single Lose, which begins slowly and almost hauntingly with smooth strings, before turning into a groovy, pulsating dance track that is ready for when the clubs reopen.
“I was impressed with the sound,” he says. “These days, songs have pre-choruses and then people expect a bass or drop. But when I was listening to the demo for Lose, I thought it had a bit of a different structure, since it has the guitar and a bit of a different sound.
“It was really attractive to me, so I was hooked on its atmosphere and decided to make this special song my single.”
