Boy band ONF held a showcase on Tuesday to unveil "ONF:MY Identity," the first part of its second full-length album.

ONF performed some of the tracks featured in its new album "ONF:MY Identity” including its lead track, “The Stranger,” during a showcase held Tuesday at the Blue Square in central Seoul.


The lead track is a pop song highlighted by its funky rhythm and a wide range of sound, according to its agency WM Entertainment.

"'ONF:MY Identity’ reflects ONF’s identity and growth," WM Entertainment said. "Under the theme of dream chasers, ONF will express its aspirations and strength to progress through deeper music.”

"ONF:MY Identity" comes 10 months after ONF's eighth EP, "Beautiful Shadow," was released last April.

ONF, pronounced “on and off," debuted in 2017 with the single “On/Off.” It consists of five Korean members — Hyojin, E-Tion, Seungjun, Wyatt and MK — and one Japanese member, U.
