A K-pop boy band whose 2014 hit "Anytime" launched them into a career marked by intense themes and creative tensions.
For their bright breakthrough, listen to "Anytime." For their darker side, try "Hatred unto Death" or "Methods of Madness."
Obsession's 2014 single "Anytime" became a genuine hit that helped establish them in the K-pop industry, but their catalog goes much darker with songs like "Hatred unto Death" and "Methods of Madness." They've incorporated pop, hip-hop, and R&B while maintaining a recognizable style, and Lay's intermittent participation due to China activities drew consistent fan attention. The group also faced ongoing questions about their creative control over music and image, which became part of their story.
Formed with nine members including Xiumin, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun, Obsession broke through with "Anytime" in 2014. Their music evolved to include darker tracks like "Marshall Law" and "Execution" while Lay's participation became sporadic due to his work in China. Questions about creative control persisted throughout their run.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
