Seung Han, formerly of the group RISE, will begin a new adventure as a solo artist in July.

According to SM Entertainment on the 11th, Seung Han will utilize 'X,' which simultaneously signifies infinite possibilities and broad crossover, to establish his English name as 'XngHan.' He will begin full-scale solo activities at the end of July as an artist who transcends existing conventions and limitations.

In particular, his solo activities will unfold in the form of a crew called 'XngHan & Xoul,' an artist brand where he collaborates with creators known as 'Xoul' – individuals skilled in various fields such as music, performance, styling, and artwork. Seung Han will seek out 'Xoul' – collaborators who share his interests and current situation – and create and complete projects with those who resonate with his potential. This approach is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the K-pop scene, generating considerable curiosity about 'XngHan & Xoul.'

The debut project marking the beginning of the 'XngHan & Xoul' artist brand will involve collaboration with two professional dancers, further enhancing Seung Han’s strengths and the area of greatest interest – ‘performance.’ Seung Han also unveiled a new image on his official Instagram account on the 9th, capturing attention. He plans to actively communicate with fans worldwide through live broadcasts on the account prior to his debut.
