The group POW wrapped up a year of activities by sincerely stating, “We became stronger through 2025. The existence of the members and POWER (the fandom name) allowed us to grow together.”
On December 29, POW released its “2025 Epilogue Interview” on its official YouTube channel. After a year marked by four comebacks, an Asian tour, and steady climbs on global charts, the group shared, through this interview, the emotions they felt, the changes they experienced along the way, and their resolutions for the future with honesty.
When asked, “What kind of person am I today?”, each of the five members described their personal growth in their own way. Leader YORCH said, “My sense of responsibility has grown a lot compared to before, and as a leader and the eldest, I think more carefully now,” revealing a more mature mindset. HYUNBIN shared, “I used to be a very energetic person, but these days I’m making an effort to become more calm,” reflecting on his change.
JUNGBIN explained, “I’m someone who observes myself, asks questions, and grows every day,” adding, “Because I’m not perfect, I keep growing each day with the desire to learn more.” DONGYEON stated, “All of my aspects, without being confined to a fixed frame, can be me,” showing an attitude of self-acceptance. The youngest member, HONG, shared warmly, “I think I’m someone who receives a lot of love.”
The image of POW as perceived by the members converged around the shared keyword “growth.”YORCH described the group as “a team that supports one another and doesn’t give up easily,” while HYUNBIN said, “There were differences in opinions, but now we move forward with similar feelings and have become closer.” JUNGBIN and DONGYEON described POW as “a group in evolution” and “a group that continuously moves toward fulfillment,” defining ongoing growth as the group’s identity. HONG added, “A team that grows step by step.”
The members also answered candidly about what motivated them this year. YORCH cited “the desire to surpass my past self,” HYUNBIN named “POWER (the fandom),” JUNGBIN mentioned “the feedback I received from people around me,” and HONG pointed to “a clear goal.” DONGYEON, in particular, expressed:
“The fans are the existence that brought me the greatest change and the greatest strength. I try never to forget that nothing is ever guaranteed. I prepare every stage with the mindset of giving my best for every opportunity I’m given.”
Reflecting on the past year, the members summarized POW’s 2025 as “a time that brought us closer to one another.” YORCH said, “I used to only look toward the future, but now I focus more on what needs to be done to succeed,” while JUNGBIN shared, “We’re all looking in the same direction with the same mindset.” HONG also added, “Through our activities in 2025, we became a great source of strength for one another.”
