WONHO announces new album 'CORE,' dropping July 21 with 'RAW' concept photo

WONHO is back. CORE, his new album, arrives July 21 at 6 PM across online music platforms. That's roughly nine months after SYNDROME, his first full-length, which came out in October last year.

The campaign kicked off July 6 with the first concept photo—the 'RAW' version—shared across official SNS channels.

WONHO wrote, composed, and arranged every track on the album. He's done this since his solo debut.

The release follows a grueling year on the road. His STAY AWAKE world tour hit 16 cities across 13 countries, closing with a Seoul show in March 2026. While promoting CORE, he'll also hit U.S. fan meetings in Lincoln, Cherokee, and Highland.
