Former RIIZE member Seunghan, now rebranded as XngHan, is set to make his highly anticipated solo debut under the creative project XngHan & Xoul. The artist will release his first single, “Waste No Time”, marking a new chapter after his controversial departure from SM Entertainment’s rookie boy group RIIZE last year.
A Fresh Start as XngHan & Xoul
The debut will feature two new tracks showcasing XngHan’s performance skills, with SM Entertainment confirming collaborations with professional dancers to elevate the visual and choreographic elements. The project operates under XngHan & Xoul, a multidisciplinary collective blending music, performance, styling, and visual art—signaling a bold, artistic direction for the 20-year-old star.
Overcoming Past Controversies
XngHan originally debuted with RIIZE in September 2023 but faced indefinite suspension just two months later due to personal life controversies. Despite SM’s brief announcement of his return in October 2023, fan backlash led to his permanent departure. In a heartfelt message, XngHan expressed regret, stating, “I don’t want to cause any more harm. I sincerely hope RIIZE continues to receive love and support.”
Since then, RIIZE has moved forward as a six-member group with hits like “Love 119” and “Boom Boom Bass,” while XngHan has quietly prepared for his solo reinvention.
What to Expect
- Two new songs under “Waste No Time”
- High-performance focus with professional dancers
- Pre-orders now available at music retailers
As XngHan steps into the spotlight alone, the K-pop world watches to see if his artistry can outshine past struggles. Will “Waste No Time” mark a triumphant comeback or fade into the noise of a competitive industry?
