ONEUS Is Set To Make A Summer Comeback, Announces New Album 5x
Last Updated: ONEUS dropped a logo motion video featuring the number 5, representing the five members of the group. K-pop boy band ONEUS is all set for a powerful comeback this June. Five months after the release of their previous album Dear.M, the group is gearing up to drop their 11th mini album. At midnight KST on June 10, the band unveiled a striking teaser across their official social media platforms, signalling the start of a new era. The logo motion video showcased the number 5, symbolising the five members, paired with a variable x, representing the title of their upcoming album, 5x. The teaser was accompanied by a tense, cinematic soundtrack that only amped up the anticipation among fans. Following the teaser drop, ONEUS's agency shared, 'The album showcases each member's unique charm and limitless musical potential. We ask for your continued interest and support." View this post on Instagram A post shared by 원어스 (ONEUS) (@official_oneus) ONEUS also revealed that 5x will feature a special track by member Seoho, recorded prior to his military enlistment. As announced via their official social media channels, the album is set to release on June 30 at 6 p.m. KST. This marks the group's return as a five-member act since Dear.M, which dropped in January this year. That album featured 17 tracks, including the title song IKUK and a new version of their Road to Kingdom finale track I Know You Know. In the months following, the members focused on solo projects, offering fans a glimpse into their distinct musical identities. Formed by RBW in 2018, ONEUS originally debuted as a six-member group comprising Seoho, Leedo, Keonhee, Hwanwoong, Xion, and Ravn. However, in October 2022, Ravn departed from the band, and ONEUS has since continued as a five-member act. The group made their official debut in January 2019 with the EP Light Us, and has since delivered a series of successful albums including Raise Us, Fly With Us, Lived, Blood Moon, Pygmalion, La Dolce Vita, Devil, Dopamine, and Dear.M. Their last major tour, ONEUS Japan 3rd Live: Blood Moon, followed the release of Blood Moon in 2021. With the announcement of their upcoming album 5x, fans are excited not just for the music, but also in the hopes of seeing their favourite group back on stage soon.

RBW EV Cars begins construction on US manufacturing facility
UK-based niche electric vehicles (EV) manufacturer RBW EV Cars has commenced the construction of its manufacturing facility in Danville, Virginia in the US. This development marks a significant expansion of the British specialist electric vehicle maker's operations into the North American market. Expected to create 144 jobs, the $8m facility is set to produce the company's first left-hand drive electric Roadster and GT models specifically for the US market. Situated within the Cane Creek Centre industrial park, the 29,000ft2 facility will serve as a hub for RBW's assembly operations, as well as the sales and marketing departments. The plant will also house Spirit EV, RBW's proprietary electric vehicle platform, which supports scalable electrification solutions for both automakers and specialist vehicle builders. The Danville plant will also be the base for Spirit EV's research and design, engineering, and proprietary EV build programme teams, the company said. RBW EV Cars CEO Peter Swain said: "RBW EV Cars has dedicated nearly a decade to developing bespoke electric vehicles that honor classic British design while delivering cutting-edge electrification. 'From the beginning of its operation, the company has been focused on bringing a global EV platform to market that could transcend how automakers design and engineer their own platforms. This is where Spirit EV comes in. We will now have R&D facilities in both the UK and US.' RBW's focus will initially be on manufacturing the Roadster and GT models, with plans to introduce new product developments and future vehicle lines by fall 2025. US operations director Peyton Sellers said: 'Creating a workforce for RBW EV Cars and Spirit EV here in Danville is our top priority. Breaking ground and preparing the city for its first major automotive player is exciting. 'We are not only generating jobs, but we are also creating a new automotive hub for the industry to lean in on. The proprietary EV platform Spirit EV has developed allows an automaker to literally plug and play, saving them millions in R&D.' Construction is being carried out in partnership with American contractors and local stakeholders. Once operational, the Danville facility is expected to complement RBW's existing operations in the UK.

This Tiny British Sports Car Maker Is Opening a Factory in the USA
We've probably all dreamed of owning a classic British sports car at times, but our collective patience for oil leaks often runs thin. But what if you could have all that MG charm without the headaches — or, for that matter, the oil? For the last eight years, RBW Electric Cars has been pioneering a way to make that idea a reality — and now, U.S. buyers are set to have a more direct line to the handmade EVs, because RBW is expanding its manufacturing facilities to Virginia. Owned and operated by Peter Swain and his family, RBW EV is set to open its new Danville, Virginia, factory in September, after an investment of more than $8 million. The decision comes less than a year after Swain revealed a fleet of left-hand-drive, North America-aimed MG-esque machines at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. "This facility will enable RBW to scale production while preserving the craftsmanship and quality that define the brand. To support this transition, RBW has already been training U.S. operatives at its UK facility," Swain said. "RBW knew we needed a U.S. location to support U.S. sales growth and were busily considering options." The choice of Virginia wasn't by happenstance. Swain told that the state was a natural choice because of its established manufacturing ecosystem, highly skilled workforce, and strategic location for distribution across the U.S. The effect on the local economy will be small but meaningful, as the factory is expected create up to 144 jobs. A number of local grants will help RBW construct its coming factory, but Swain said that the decision to come Stateside was about more than just increasing production numbers. Instead, the British EV manufacturer said he wants to ingratiate his company with Americans and make good on the potential cost-reduction benefits of U.S. manufacturing. (Indeed, an all-electric, U.K.-built recreational roadster wouldn't be the first choice for many domestic customers.) This is doubly true under the Trump administration, which has claimed it will levy a 25% tariff on any foreign imported cars starting in April. While RBW's electrified sports cars aren't likely to be anyone's only mode of transportation, leisure buyers would likely be put off by a 25% increase on the already expensive models: The Roadster edition starts at $139,000, while the incoming GT model will start at $151,000, meaning a 25% increase would add $34,750 and $37,750, respectively. That's not to say these prices aren't for good reason. Swain says it takes more thabn 500 hours of time to hand-build their EV sports cars, especially considering that RBW builds its battery system from the ground up. OEM-compliant safety features, a modular powertrain with custom power and charging management software, plus specially tuned suspension are all included in the six-figure cost. For your hundreds of thousands of dollars, RBW provides 150 miles of range, a 90-mph top speed, and an 8.0-second sprint from 0-60 mph. Our own test of the RBW models proved to be splendid, reveling a perfect blend of the MG character and modern driving dynamics. As such, we'll be delighted to see more of these roaming around U.S. roads — so long as the current political hostility to foreign automakers, both legacy and startup alike, doesn't scare off bespoke manufacturers like RBW.
