Singer JUNG DAEHYUN stirred the hearts of his global fans with the teaser for the Japanese animation version of his new song “Haengro,” released on September 14, hinting at a completely new universe.
On September 2, JUNG DAEHYUN released his third single “HAENGRO,” which continues to captivate audiences, ranking among the top contenders on Korean music shows. The song delivers a hopeful message: despite the struggles and imperfections of youth, one must rise again and find their own rhythm.
The Japanese animation MV teaser presents a youthful drama vibe infused with animated sensibility, different from the original video. In just 20 seconds, it shows a vast sky, green fields, yellow petals swaying in the wind, and cross-cut scenes of a young man and woman in the city, creating the feeling of watching a Japanese animated film. Alternating shots of their gazes, flowing long hair, and shared moments convey emotion and the freshness of youth.
This animated version is particularly meaningful as it fulfills JUNG DAEHYUN’s wish to give his fans a unique gift. The lyrical yet energetic style of “Haengro” pairs perfectly with the animation techniques, highlighting the artist’s musical personality.
Since the teaser’s release, fans in Korea and Japan have expressed their excitement: “The animation version is real! Incredible!”, “I never expected this!”, “It’s a masterpiece!”, “I can’t wait!”
MA Entertainment stated:
“With ‘Haengro,’ we realized the animation version JUNG DAEHYUN has wanted for a long time. We hope the sincerity and warmth of his music fully reach the fans.”
The full Japanese animation version of “Haengro” will be released today, September 15 at 6 p.m. KST.
