HONG JOOCHAN, member of GOLDEN CHILD, has announced his solo comeback.
On October 20 at 6 PM KST, Woollim Entertainment posted on its official social media the “Coming soon” poster for HONG JOOCHAN’s first single “Rise & Shine“, announcing the imminent release of the album.
The poster reveals a room filled with various musical equipment such as an LP player, a keyboard, headphones, and a microphone, immediately capturing attention. The decor, in soothing brown tones with a sofa, table, and rug, fully evokes an autumn atmosphere. It also features the title “Rise & Shine” along with the release date and time “2025.10.26, 18h”, further increasing fans’ excitement.
This is HONG JOOCHAN’s first release since his digital remake single “어떤가요” about one year and eight months ago, and enthusiastic reactions from international fans are multiplying.
Last month, during his solo fan meeting in Seoul “주빛밤 : Hidden Track“, HONG JOOCHAN had already previewed the single and the title track “Rise & Shine“. With a stand microphone, he delivered a powerful performance that captivated fans.
As a versatile artist, working beyond the status of a global idol in musicals, variety, and radio, HONG JOOCHAN raises high expectations for the emotions he will convey through this new single “Rise & Shine“.
On October 26 at 6 PM KST, HONG JOOCHAN will officially release his first single “Rise & Shine” on all music platforms.
