K-pop darlings Wanna One will soon be returning to Hong Kong for a series of shows as part of their One: The World tour.

The 11-member boy band, whose members include K-pop idols Daniel Kang and Park Ji-hoon, were created during the second season of the hit Korean reality show Produce 101, and have been enjoying chart success in the US with their debut EP “1×1=1 (To Be One)”.

Here are five of their videos to whet your appetite for their upcoming shows in Hong Kong at AsiaWorld Expo on July 28-29.

1. Burn It Up

A dark horse races along a moody looking beach. For a second, you might think you’re watching a horror movie, but the animal suddenly transforms into a handsome K-pop idol. This single, included on the “1×1=1 (To Be One)” EP, is likely more about the group’s “dark horse” Daniel Kang, who beat the odds to become the main winner on Produce 101. Shot in black and white, the video is a tribute to being young, wild and very successful.

2. Light

The first single off their latest album, “1÷x=1” (also known as “Undivided”), Light is about the thrill of falling in love. The video features the boys in a series of dimly lit rooms and venues, as they sing about a love that shines like a bright light. “Cover me like a blanket,” the boys sing in Korean. “I’ll fill up your heart/ Until the void is gone.”
