A new solo chapter for WON with “Without”.
WON, former member of the projects 1THE9 and the group CIIPHER, returns under the spotlight with his digital single “WITHOUT”, whose lyric video was published on December 26 on YouTube. This new release marks an important milestone in his solo career started in 2023, where he has established himself as a full-fledged artist, songwriter, composer, and performer.
“Without” was released two days ago under the label EW ENTERTAINMENT. The track was written and composed by WON himself, with musical participation from GUNHEE in composition and arrangement, illustrating a strong collaborative effort that highlights the single’s sonic identity.
Musically, “Without” explores themes of absence and nostalgia, with a production blending modern R&B and melodic pop elements, facilitating an immediate emotional connection with the listener. Korean media and online music platforms praised WON’s vocal performance, highlighting his ability to convey sincere emotion through his voice, further strengthening his reputation as a dedicated solo artist.
The artist, known by his real name PARK SUNG WON, first gained recognition through the show “Under Nineteen”, where he secured a place in the temporary group 1THE9 before joining CIIPHER. After leaving the latter in 2023 to pursue a solo career, he gradually built a discography marked by personal releases such as “Even if it’s a lie”, “Say that you’re sorry”, “The love”, and now “Without”, showcasing a well-defined and steadily progressing artistic trajectory.
In summary, “Without” confirms WON’s rise on the solo stage, highlighting his musical sensibility and involvement in the creation of his music, and offers promising prospects for his upcoming releases.
