It’s not every day that a Korean artiste manager green lights a wild idea. Even more so when your request goes like this, “Hey, would the members of OnlyOneOf be open to vlogging what they do in a day?”
Thankfully, the good people at RSVP and 8D Creative (shout out to too our Secret Signals fam) have managed to wing it for us.
And once you’re done finding out how the boys of OnlyOneOf swerve and swagger, below, an interview with them.
You’d be surprised what their secret talents are. We know we are.

To new fans of OnlyOneOf can you tell them a secret talent you have?

How did you boys find your own original sound?
OnlyOneOf: We listen to the latest hits when we are together. I mean literally every time when we are together. We constantly push ourselves to stay up-to-date in terms of the sounds and rhythms that resonates from the latest releases and try to incorporate different inputs into our production.

What is your personal favourite song from your latest EP?
OnlyONeOf: Can’t just choose one track, to be honest. They’re all like our babies. For, “a Song of ice and fire”, we still remember how we all were impressed by recording and working with Groovy Room, one of the most influential producers in the K-hip hop Scene. Their approach was very fresh, compared to how K-pop tracks are recorded, and very efficient.

Who is your dream collaborator and why?
Nine: The Weeknd.
Mill: I wish I could perform with Russ. I literally spend all day listening to his tracks these days.
Rie: I envy Sam Smith’s vocal performance. Wish I could have the opportunity to sing with him.
Junji: I would love to choreograph to FKJ’s music.
Love: Beyonce? As a duet!
Yoojung: Justin Bieber
KB: Coldplay! I’d love to be part of the band for just one day.

What do you hope for in 2021?
Nine: I really wish to travel around with the rest of the members, meeting fans and interacting with them.
Mill: Be a part of the big music festivals! Miss being on stage and interacting with actual fans, not just a camera.
Rie: Recording remake tracks that I love to listen to. I want to improve as a vocalist.
Junji: Trying completely new looks! Hair, fashion styles and everything updated!
Love: Visit Singapore and perform at Zouk?
Yoojung: Trying totally different styles of music and be awesome at it
KB: Producing the best tracks for OnlyOneOf that we all can enjoy ourselves when we perform!

Lastly, can you tell us a funny story about any one of your OnlyOneOf group mates?
Nine: Mill raps when he takes a shower. Sometimes it’s hilarious to listen to.
Mill: Love is an extremely early riser. He’s like an old grandpa. [Laughs]
Rie: Junji can’t drink coffee, but he loves coffee-flavoured candy?
