HANGYEOM of OMEGA X has officially embarked on his solo career with the release of his first single album, 0,1, marking his return to music following the completion of his military service.
Released on 10 November, the two-track project features ‘MIS2 U’ and ‘Thinking of You (Narration. MISEO)’, both written by HANGYEOM, who also contributed to the album's composition. Through the release, the singer expresses his gratitude towards fans who have waited for him, while reflecting on the memories and emotions that have shaped his musical journey.
Nearly nine years after making his debut in 2017, HANGYEOM sees 0,1 as an opportunity to establish his own musical identity beyond his activities as a group member.
"Nearly nine years after my debut in 2017, it feels special to finally release my first solo album, 0,1, which reflects my own unique style," he shared. "I've shown many different sides of myself throughout my career, but this album holds even greater meaning to me because it fully captures my personal story and musical identity."
The album's title symbolises the precious time HANGYEOM has shared with his fans, known as FOR X, and their promise to remain together.
Opening track ‘MIS2 U’ is a heartfelt rock song that celebrates reunion and unwavering loyalty, serving as a message to those who have continued supporting him throughout their time apart.
Meanwhile, ‘Thinking of You (Narration. MISEO)’ takes a more introspective approach, blending indie pop with bittersweet reflections on separation and lingering memories. Exploring the conflicting emotions that follow a breakup, the song also draws parallels with HANGYEOM's own experience of being separated from his fans during military service.
"I wanted to express my gratitude through music to the fans who have waited for me for so long," HANGYEOM explained. "As this album marks both a new beginning and another challenge for me, I'll continue to showcase different sides of myself through my music."
Alongside his solo debut, HANGYEOM has introduced an additional performance name, WAVVY (웨이비), representing his determination to navigate life's challenges and find his own path through the waves that come his way.
To celebrate the release, the singer will hold a special busking event, HANGYEOM's MIS2 U : [0,1] Invitation, in Seoul on 15 November, offering fans an opportunity to reconnect with him following his return.
With 0,1, HANGYEOM opens a new chapter in his career, balancing his return to OMEGA X's group activities with a more personal exploration of his artistry.
