Solo star WONHO has never been just the image — beneath the spotlight, he’s a multi-faceted virtuoso.

From stage to studio, WONHO builds his music around one constant: his fans, WENEE. On his recent 2025 world tour <STAY AWAKE> in Europe, he proves that his artistry is about lived experience, emotional honesty, and a rare, tangible bond with fans.
Now, with his first studio album SYNDROME on the way, he approaches music with a renewed sense of clarity. “With my new music this year, I wanted it to feel cleaner and smoother,” he tells us at our London photoshoot. “I wanted to show that I can explore a wider range of music while still staying true to WONHO.”
That mindset defines this era, where WONHO’s learning the power of subtraction by refining his sound and focus to show us, in his words, “what I’ve really wanted to do.” And yet, for all his discipline, what anchors him is gratitude. “Every single moment is a memory to keep,” he says. “Even moments like today — this shoot, these people that I meet on set — I always want to really cherish these moments.”
In the new issue of KPOPWORLD, now available for pre-order, @official__wonho talks to HASAN BEYAZ about the vision behind his exciting new era, the momentum of his packed 2025, and how connection lived out loud remains at the core of everything he does.
