My favorite member—oh wait, make that ex-member—of FT Island finally comes back as solo artist. Like a dream, Oh Wonbin finally makes a comeback after almost two years since he left FT Island in early 2009. God granted my prayers—Oh Wonbin is finally back. I know this is super late but, I just don’t have the time to actually dedicate my heart and soul for Wonbin this week. I am so sorry.
The first time I read an article on ALLKPOP about the comeback of former FT Island member, I literally screamed in happiness (you can ask my younger sister who witnessed it). I almost got a cardiac arrest. For almost two freaking years, I have only been missing Oh Wonbin from time to time—he finally returns.
사랑해 또 사랑해 (I Love You and I Love You) is his debut single—in collaboration with Miryo of Brown Eyed Girls. But let me get this straight. He once told that the reason why he left FT Island was because of music differences—by mean, he didn’t want to go with the same flow with FT Island in terms of music anymore. But why in the world would his debut single sounds so much like something FT Island—okay, if not maybe FT Triple—would possibly do in an album? Don’t get me wrong. I love the song because it was wonderfully made but I am expecting something literally different. I am not going to argue—I love his debut single and I love him even more now that he is back—but seriously, I just don’t get it.
The single; overall it was beautiful. I love the instrumental—I literally listened to the instrumental version of the song over and over again because it is just too damn beautiful. Wonbin obviously improved drastically in rapping and singing but I am sorry to say that I love Miryo’s parts even more in this song. I am so sorry, Wonbin. Miryo is just too awesome to not be noticed. But I still love their collaboration. The music video; it was nicely made—simple and clean cut—nothing over the top, just plain and nice. I like it, in fact, I think I like it a lot.
I have mixed reviews upon this single. I mean, I freaking love the fact that Wonbin is officially back. I also love how incredibly handsome he looks nowadays—he looks as if he got younger and taller. On the other hand, his debut single isn’t really something amazing because it resembles FT Island’s songs in so many ways (let me be honest, it sounds so much like Love Letter or Lie). I do love his debut single though, I really do.
Despite all of my questions, let us all just celebrate the fact that Oh Wonbin is back. I will always love him—although the space where he used to stay in my heart (and in my purse and in my pencil case and next to my bed) is no longer his place when I accidentally fell in love with Seunghyun—and will always be his fan. The best part about this comeback however, remained to be the fact that my mom thinks he is incredibly cute.
