On June 24th, the K-pop group ONEPACT performed for the very first time in Paris as part of their European tour. In the retro atmosphere of the Cabaret Sauvage, the five members – Jongwoo, Jay, Seongmin, TAG, and Yedam – offered a touching concert to their French fans, the &Hearts, who came to support them fervently.
ONEPACT made a remarkable return in February 2025 with Pink Crush, a mini-album marking the group’s full reformation after Jay’s return. Driven by vibrant energy and polished production, this opus holds particular significance for both the members and their fans.
Between songs written abroad, sincere exchanges, and shared bursts of laughter, ONEPACT confided with honesty and warmth during our meeting, just before taking the Parisian stage.
Léane : Can you introduce yourselves?
Hello, we are ONEPACT.
Hello, my name is Jungwoo. I am the leader of ONEPACT. Thank you.
Hello, I am Jay, the main vocalist of ONEPACT.
Hello, I am Yedam, the youngest member (maknae). Thank you.
Hello, I am TAG, the producer of ONEPACT.
Hello, my name is Seongmin, from ONEPACT.
Léane : What was your first impression of France?
TAG : When we arrived in Paris, we went to a restaurant. I can’t remember the name, but we ate very well. Jungwoo and I had steak, and the other three tasted some French cuisine. Afterwards, we went to see the Eiffel Tower at night. It was a really great moment.
Jay : We were really able to discover the city, and we ate lots of good things. It’s been an absolutely brilliant experience so far. We also went to Bercy Village.
Léane : Your album Pink Crush was released in February. What are you most proud of?
Yedam : Everything. Honestly, even right now, I feel a lot of pride. Traveling to different countries and seeing so many &Heart fans come to see us… it’s incredibly moving.
Seongmin : Jay returned after a long absence, and for the first time in a year, we were able to make a comeback as all five members. This made both the members and the fans proud and happy. It was a very significant moment. Jay’s return and getting to spend time with the fans… thank you.
Léane : TAG, you participated in the composition and production. What inspires you?
TAG : I get inspiration from new experiences. For example, the songs on Pink Crush were composed abroad—in Japan, Taiwan, all over the place. And now that we are in Europe, I’m composing new tracks here too. New experiences, different food, new encounters… all of that inspires me.
Léane : Do you often work all together in the studio?
TAG : In the studio? Not really. If I want to make a song with Jay, he will write it, and then we work on the melody and lyrics either in the studio or at the hotel, then we go to record. The members send me their lyrics, we discuss them, and I turn them into songs. So no, we don’t really all work together in the studio.
Léane : What is an unforgettable moment with the fans?
Jungwoo : When we perform in different countries, I will never forget the way the fans look at us. The unforgettable moments are when we go on stage in front of so many fans and see the sparkle in their eyes.
Léane : If ONEPACT had a reality TV show, what would the concept be?
Seongmin : Hmm… I’m not entirely sure. But since we are all very expressive, I think we would be very good at going to thrilling places—like amusement parks or haunted houses. That could be fun.
Léane : Finally, can you share a message with your fans, the &Hearts?
TAG : First of all, thank you very much for all your love and support. We are having a great time in Europe, and we are truly grateful to share this experience with you.
Jay : Yes, thank you for coming to all these places and experiencing new things with us. We had a great time, and we hope you did too. We love you. Thank you. See you next time!
