Watch: ONEUS Sing a Mandarin Standard in Their First Cover Stage Since April
Three minutes thirty-eight of '月亮代表我的心', credited to the group without a subdivision — and the first Cover stage the channel has posted since April.

TO MOON have a new cover to sit with. ONEUS posted a Cover stage of '월량대표아적심 (月亮代表我的心)' at seven in the evening Korean time on August 4 — three minutes and thirty-eight seconds, on the group's own channel of 1.59 million subscribers.
The series had been quiet. This desk's record holds four Cover stage entries in total: '404(New Era)' from a fancon on March 31, 이도 and 환웅 on '불꽃놀이' on April 8, 건희 and 시온 on 'Rewrite the Stars' on April 10, and now this one. The two April entries carried a pair of names in the title; this one carries only the group's.
The description carries no note about the song, only the group's official links and a B.WAVE Entertainment copyright line, so nothing about the original recording appears here — the title is written both in Korean transliteration and in the original characters, which is the whole of what the post says about it.
Recent uploads on the same channel have run to behind-the-scenes and special clips around 'Under', with fancon covers of 'mosi mosi?' and 'IRIS OUT' in late July. All of it sits on ONEUS's record page here, dated to the minute.
Context for International Fans
TO MOON is ONEUS's fandom. '월량대표아적심' is the Korean transliteration of the Mandarin title 月亮代表我的心, which translates as 'the moon represents my heart' — a standard of the Chinese-language songbook rather than a K-pop track. Cover stages like this one are how Korean groups reach listeners outside their own catalogue, and singing in Mandarin points the performance at an audience the group's Korean releases do not reach on their own.
Why It Matters
A group with 1.59 million subscribers choosing a Mandarin standard is a decision about who they are singing to. And for a series that had not posted since April, it restarts something fans had reason to think was finished.
What to Watch Next
Whether the Cover stage series keeps going now that it has restarted, and the rest of the 'Under' rollout. Each post appears on ONEUS's record page here as it goes up.
