Former ENHYPEN member EVAN dropped snippets of his upcoming debut solo single “RIDE OR DIE” on his official social media channels Saturday, giving fans their first listen ahead of the June 22 release.<\/p>\n

The digital single includes two tracks, “Ride or Die” and “Overflow.” Through an official press release Sunday, his label Belift Lab said EVAN wrote, composed and produced both songs and took part in visual creative work across the project. <\/p>\n

“Ride or Die” is an alternative rock track that blends pop-rock and hyperpop elements. The song deals with longing and overwhelming emotion directed at another person. Belift Lab said the track also carries a message to fans.<\/p>\n

The single’s second track, “Overflow,” is a quieter indie-pop song. The title refers to the image of water brimming at the edge of a glass, which EVAN used as a metaphor for layered, complex emotions. Belift Lab said the song leaves its emotional direction open, allowing listeners to interpret it as comfort, sadness or empathy depending on their own circumstances.<\/p>\n

The single’s title, “RIDE OR DIE,” is an English idiomatic expression meaning to stand by someone unconditionally. Belift Lab said the release reflects EVAN’s artistic direction as a solo act, and described the singer as “an all-around vocalist with a trendy yet mellow tone.”<\/p>\n

EVAN debuted in 2020 as Heeseung, a member of K-pop boy band ENHYPEN, and built a following through his vocal prowess and stage performances. He departed ENHYPEN on March 10, after Belift Lab announced that the group’s members had discussed their futures and that EVAN had “his own distinct musical vision.” ENHYPEN carries on as a six-member group consisting of Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki.<\/p>\n

Following the single release, EVAN is scheduled to perform at the 2026 Busan One Asia Festival with NOL on June 26 and at KCON LA 2026 on Aug. 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The official teaser image for K-pop soloist EVAN’s upcoming single album, “RIDE OR DIE” \/ Courtesy of Belift…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-736283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
