Iconic boy group INFINITE made their long awaited group comeback this past July. Their return was met with overwhelming applause and cheers from fans and critics alike. While they managed to retain their distinct color, the veteran group also showcased a distinct evolution, matching well with the trends of the K-Pop scene of today.

Now, another INFINITE member greets fans with a solo comeback of his own: Nam WooHyun. His newest album, "WHITREE," is an 11-track ensemble of meaningful songs that make you feel weightless and filled with warmth. They all sound like the perfect companion for the colder, winter months. Most especially, his title track 'Baby Baby' has been on loop all day long.

It was revealed that earlier this year, WooHyun battled with a rare cancer that plagued his body. After undergoing surgery and treatment, he was able to regain his health, making it possible for the singer to stand on stage. The encouragement he received from the nurses, fellow patients, and his beloved family and friends helped him to produce "WHITREE." While 'Baby Baby' doesn't talk about the journey he's had this year, its lighthearted melody serves as an uplifting beacon of hope and the persistence the idol had to never give up.

2. City Pop Sound

While the story behind "WHITREE" might be saddening, 'Baby Baby' looks to uplift everyone's mood. At its core is the mesmerizing melodies of 80's city pop. Combined with WooHyun's swoon-worthy vocals, listeners are transported back in time and receive an old-fashioned love song where texts and chatrooms are traded for handwritten letters and romantic mixtapes of old. While not your typical K-Pop track, it's unique qualities make it stand out, leaving behind a noteworthy impression on everyone's heart.

3. A Joy-Inducing Music Video

With its upbeat rhythm and sweet lines of romance, 'Baby Baby' needed a MV to match its energy. Filled with nostalgia, it gives the feel of an old school musical playing right before our eyes. In a "Grease" meets K-Pop fashion, the music video for WooHyun's title track is joy-inducing and could have you dancing right out of your seat. One watch certainly won't be enough, so don't be surprised if you end up hitting the replay button a million times over.
