[SuWoong] Oneuldo
The lyrics of the song "Hello" by Boys Republic is about reconnecting with someone and a plea for them to come back. The song starts with Minsu asking how the other person has been and expressing his desire to talk to the person more. SuWoong follows up with his version of the greeting, asking how the other person is doing and stating that he wants to be by their side even though they have left. It is revealed throughout the song that the person they are addressing has left their life and they miss them. Sunwoo shares that even though it has been a long time, he still tears up at the thought of them being gone. OneJunn echoes the chorus, asking if the person can hear him calling out to them and if they can answer his call. SeongJun affirms OneJunn’s message, saying that he believes he has seen the person in Europe and he can’t stop thinking about them.
The song indicates that the missing person was someone they loved and could have been the one for them as revealed by the lines "why don't you ask me how I feel? Because I can’t say it, pretending to be fine without you." The emotions they have been suppressing are evident when the song ends with SuWoong repeating "Hello" and stating that he is still waiting for the other person to come back. The song showcases the group's emotional side and shows how they can convey their deepest feelings through their music.

Them as a whole is a circus group..heheh xDDDD Cuz they all hv weird talents.
Left to right:
(Left)onejunn --> Leader of the group, also the oldest and he has been to the army alr.
minsu --> Rap and dance (But he can sing too xD), he can do dj mixing with his mouth
suwoong --> Maknae of the group, but he doesnt really look like a maknae cuz his hyungs armore childish thn him xDD Kekekkee..
sungjun --> rap and dance but he also can sing, he can be considered the 'joker' of the grp xD he always gets tease by sunwoo abt first impression. hehe
sunwoo(Right) --> The tallest in the grp. He used to be a member of kpop grp TOUCH but left afterwards and trained with universal. He and suwoong is said to be very close like tom and jerry.
