The group Golden Child Hong Joo-chan finished preheating his comeback with a handsome look.

The agency Woollim Entertainment released the last concept photo of Hong Joo-chan's first single 'Rise & Shine' on its official SNS at 6 p.m. on the 23rd.

The released image shows Hong Joo-chan on a bridge under a dark night sky. In the image, Hong Joo-chan captured the fans' hearts with a deeper look as he leaned on the railing and stared at the front, along with casual styling that felt the autumn atmosphere.

In another cut, he sat on a railing and looked down at his cell phone, adding to Hong Joo-chan's heartwarming sensibility by combining the night view with the city's colorful lights behind his back.

As a result, Hong Joo-chan's first single concept has all been unveiled. Hong Joo-chan's raised visuals and more mature atmosphere in three versions of the concept photos raised expectations for his new music and stage through 'Rise and Shine'.

'Rise and Shine' is Hong Joo-chan's first scene in about a year and eight months. The title song of the same name is a pop-rock genre-based band sound song, and the narrative that contains popular melodies and overwhelming emotions that can be breathed with listeners is impressive.

In addition, Hong Joo-chan's new single contains a total of four songs that can feel Hong Joo-chan's unique tone and sensibility, including the two remakes of the song "Troublemaker" released in 2019 and the instrumental (accompaniment) track of the title song "Rise and Shine".

Hong Joo-chan's first single 'Rise and Shine' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 26th.
