Han Seungwoo Returns with 4th Solo EP ‘Top Note’
Han Seungwoo, former leader of the K-pop group Victon, is set to make a triumphant return to the music scene with his fourth solo extended play, Top Note, scheduled for release on June 30, 2025. After a five-year hiatus from solo activities—his last solo project being the 2020 EP Fame—Han’s new record promises a mature, warm and sophisticated rock sound infused with springtime energy, reflecting both his growth as an artist and his enduring passion for performance.
In the months leading up to the announcement, anticipation among fans had been building, fueled by the success of Han’s previous solo releases: Fade and Dive Into. On June 17, 2025, his agency officially confirmed the details of Top Note, revealing its release date and musical direction. The EP’s genre is described as “warm and sophisticated rock with spring vibes,” suggesting a sonic palette of mellow guitar riffs, emotive vocals, and uplifting melodies that capture the freshness of the season.
Drawing from his extensive experience as a performer, Han Seungwoo has consistently emphasized the deep joy he finds on stage. As he remarked in a 2023 interview: “For a singer, performing is such a great happiness.” This sentiment underscores the genuine connection he forges with listeners and hints at the emotive power Top Note will carry when he unveils its tracks at the end of June.
Despite stepping back from solo recordings since Fame, Han has remained active in collaborative projects and live events, honing his artistry and stage presence. His leadership of Victon laid a strong foundation for his solo endeavors, and each subsequent EP has marked a distinct evolution in style and substance. With Top Note, Han appears poised to balance rock influences and personal introspection, delivering an EP that resonates with both long-time supporters and new audiences discovering his solo work for the first time.
As the K-pop industry continues to globalize, solo projects like Han Seungwoo’s Top Note carry significant weight. They not only reaffirm an individual artist’s identity beyond their group activities but also showcase the versatility and creative breadth inherent in today’s Korean music scene. Observers expect this release to strengthen Han’s reputation as a multi-faceted performer and to generate momentum for future tours and promotions.
With the finalized tracklist and artistic concept still under wraps, fans are eagerly speculating about possible collaborations, lyrical themes, and live performance plans. Regardless of the specifics, the forthcoming EP represents a milestone: marking Han Seungwoo’s return as a solo artist ready to explore new musical territories.
Top Note will be available on all major streaming platforms beginning June 30, 2025. Stay tuned to Han Seungwoo’s official channels for teaser releases, behind-the-scenes content, and updates on promotional activities.
