'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.

Last month, Hong Joo-chan pre-released the stage of his solo fan meeting 'Rise and Shine' at the scene of 'Hidden Track'. It has used a stand microphone to create a refreshing and emotional stage, stimulating fan sentiment and raising expectations for an official sound source.

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