‘Hwang Min-hyun’ - "Truth or Lie"
'Hwang Min-hyun' debuted as a solo artist on a Monday after 11 years.
In "Truth or Lie," his first
EP and first release as a soloist, the singer exposes his various sides that
have not been shown to anyone before
‘Hwang Min-hyun’ was a member of
disbanded boy groups “Wanna One” and “NU'EST”.
He answers, "You can believe what
you want," because there is no clear answer to the question, and this is
the message that penetrates the album.
"Since this is my first solo
album, I wanted to tell about myself," ‘Hwang Min-hyun' said "I have
so many different sides, but people don't seem to know them yet. I also wanted
to show those sides through an album."
The EP has a total of six tracks, the main single "Hidden Side," "Honest," "Crossword," "Perfect Type," "Smile" and "Cube."
"Hidden Side" is best
represents the album's theme.
Questioned why the song was chosen as
the main track,
"First, I had a thirst for
performing on stage. Second, since I think there are many who became my fans
after seeing me performing on stage as a member of an idol group, I wanted to
show what they remember about me."
‘Hwang Min-hyun’ debuted in 2021 as a
vocalist of the K-pop boy group NU'EST. In 2017, he participated in the second
season of the survival audition show "Produce 101" and became a
member of "Wanna One", a project boy group composed of 11 finalists.
After the group's disbandment, ‘Hwang
Min-hyun’ re-joined NU'EST, remaining in the group until its disbandment in
2022. He has also worked between musical stages and filming sets for TV dramas
as an actor. Most recently, he appeared in the popular two-part tvN series
"Alchemy of Souls."
"I'm known as a soft, friendly
and mild person, but I wanted to show an unexpected charm this time."
‘Hwang Min-hyun’ showed a strong
desire to continue to pursue both the singing and acting careers.
"I know it isn't easy to do just one thing well, but I don't want to give up a desire to sing, dance and meet fans on stage. I also will make efforts to grow and work well as an actor, and try to drop albums containing my tastes of music in my spare time," he stressed.
