ONF
4 stars
South Korean boy band ONF, pronounced as "on and off", are on hiatus as five of their six members - Hyojin, J-Us, E-Tion, Wyatt and MK - have enlisted for their mandatory military service in December. The remaining member, U, is Japanese.
Thankfully, the group's Goosebumps EP, released on Dec 3, has plenty to keep listeners engaged. The title song uses the physical reflex as a metaphor to communicate fear and excitement, focusing on the darker instincts associated with romantic attraction.
The food-related number Fat And Sugar - which many can relate to during this festive season - plays with the temptation presented by high-calorie foods, and its hip-hop sound is as charming as its irresistible subject matter.
Also noteworthy is dance track Whistle, where a whistling refrain keeps listeners hooked.
