IZ*ONE Tell the “Secret Story of the Swan”

IZ*ONE is back with their third mini-album, Oneiric Diary. The newest Produce 101 group has kept fans on their toes with this new concept. The album is filled with various genres of tracks to show fans that they are versatile and strong as a musical group.

“환상동화 (Secret Story of the Swan)” is an electronic dance track that shows a different side of the group. The concept is more dark and captivating compared to their usual cute and girly concepts. The members give off a mesmerizing feel during their individual scenes in the music video. The music video concept is very fairytale-like and mystical with the pink clouds and purple skies as the members float on them. Although the track is quite repetitive with the chorus and beats, it is still very catchy, especially at the climatic dance break after the third chorus. The group never seems to disappoint with their dancing skills, especially Chaeyeon, as they dance perfectly through the entire music video. 

Oneiric Diary continues with seven more tracks, including the popular B-side “회전목마 (Merry Go Round)” in both Korean and Japanese. “Welcome” is the perfect track to begin the album slowly, just like the title. “Pretty” and “Rococo” are upbeat tracks that give off cute and lovely vibes from the members. “With*One” is a soft ballad track that shows a different side of the group in this album. The album ends with the Japanese version of the title track.
