He is one of those who think or thinks?

Which one is correct? I always have trouble using the right verb form in this structure.

He is one of those who think unicorns exist.
He is one of those who thinks unicorns exist.

Isn't the verb supposed to be singular since it is linked to a singular subject "He"?
Although I've always found it natural to use the plural form.
