In his first release of 2022, Captain Korea, a.k.a. Wonho, is back with an earworm of a single, “Eye on You.” The self-composed track immediately takes us to Wonho’s POV with a dark and driving bassline (similar to his debut hit “Open Mind”). Its lyrics are inspired by how he feels being surrounded by the gaze of prejudice and how, if you took a closer look, you’d see him for who he really is. “Sometimes there are people who look at others with stereotypes, as if they were wearing colored glasses,” Wonho said about the track. And while “Eye on You” is about taking those colored glasses off, it’s also a track about an intoxicating love story: “I need your love, I need your touch / I got my eye on you / Engrave me deep over your body.” I mean, OK, yes? The duality of Wonho is one of the many charms I love about him and is why Wenee are constantly keeping an eye out for what he’ll do next. —Daniel Head
