This week, we're diving deep into the lyrics behind OnlyOneOf member YooJung's solo track for the group's project "undergrOund idOl" whereby a new monthly single will be released by each member, starting with YooJung. This project aims to explore and express the rich inner world and individual musicality of idols who shine on stage for their fans.

Before we get into the meaning of the lyrics to 'begin', it is important to highlight YooJung's purpose. He prefaced the song with a sweet and sincere note: "Among the countless lovers in the world, there are also lovers that couldnโt be blessed. For whatever reasons. Religious reasons, things like parentsโ disapproval. I dedicate this song to all those lovers that couldnโt be blessed.", making sure that his intended message is sent across loud and clear.
Ever since their debut, OnlyOneOf has been a group that has contributed towards queer visibility and representation in mainstream media through their music. So, it is no surprise that 'begin' is an extension of that purpose, through the lens of YooJung's musical identity.
Sonically, the first thing that stands out about 'begin' is its steady, intimate pacing and conversational form.
