Abuela's BONUS Song of the Day (April 13)

MINGI (ATEEZ) - AUTOBAHN (feat. Yunmin) https://youtu.be/M3TnAn9uVEI
cw: aggressive flashing, camera motion

The flashing is so aggressive on this track, the video opens with a warning about seizures, so you know it's serious.

Much like Mingi's previous Desire Project release, this is Mingi exploring a more rock sound that suits him well.
