Wonwoo Turned 30 and Gifted US a Song, So Who's Really Getting the Present Here
for his 30th birthday on july 17, wonwoo dropped a new track called 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter' at 6 p.m. kst — his second digital single, out in korean and japanese. it's a soft, seasons-passing love letter and yes, the emotional manipulation is working beautifully.
the birthday boy handing US the gift is a power move and we're all pretending we're fine. 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter' arrived at 6 p.m. kst on july 17 — the exact day wonwoo turned 30 — and the timeline has not recovered since.
it's his second digital single and it came out in both korean and japanese, so there is no escape route by language. the whole thing sits on one year's worth of seasons spent beside a person you love, plus the extremely dangerous wish that it just keeps going.
there's a music video too, obviously. no chaotic era, no surprise genre pivot, no 40-second teaser engineered to ruin a wednesday. just the quiet one from seventeen quietly ending everybody.
carats woke up to a birthday and a release in the same notification, which is a lot to ask of a person before coffee. thirty is looking offensively good on him.
happy birthday to wonwoo. condolences to the rest of us.

ive kicked off their north american tour in canada and toronto did NOT come to play
the girls opened the 'show what i am' na leg in toronto and montreal — their first-ever solo shows in canada — and dives sang every korean lyric right back. wonyoung soloing to '8' has me UNWELL.
the girlies said o canada and MEANT it. ive just kicked off the north american leg of their 'show what i am' world tour with their first-ever solo concerts in canada, and the footage has me spiraling.
they hit toronto on july 21 and montreal on july 23 — the group's first time headlining their own shows in canada since debut — and per starship the whole thing got upgraded: new styling, beefed-up staging, the works. mother tour is mothering.
setlist-wise they did not miss: opened with 'gotcha' and 'xoxz,' ran through 'love dive,' 'attitude,' 'i am' and 'rebel heart,' and during 'bang bang' the crowd sang the korean lyrics back word for word. the growth. the globalization. i'm emotional.
the solo stages were the main event, obviously — wonyoung took on '8' while rei, liz, gaeul, leeseo and yujin each got their moment to serve. six soloists in a trench coat, respectfully.
ive said through starship they were "able to begin our North American tour on a great note" thanks to dives, and same. next up: newark, austin, los angeles, oakland, seattle and vancouver. if she's coming to your city, lock in — this is not a drill.
