Singer Lee Han-gyeol is making a comeback.

On the 10th, Lee Han-gyeol revealed the cover art for his '1st mini album [NOISE]' via official SNS, announcing his first solo debut nine years after entering the entertainment industry through an album release on October 14.

After debuting as a member of the group IM in 2017 and later serving as a member of BAE173 and X1, Lee Han-gyeol signed an exclusive contract with Orca Music last August and previously hinted at his solo activities. The agency stated that it has developed a detailed and systematic strategy, placing significant emphasis not only on domestic but also overseas activities to expand global recognition.

The released cover for 'NOISE' conveys bold determination and resolve to firmly imprint a powerful musical presence through rough and intense typography. The name 'LEE HAN GYUL', engraved in bold and dynamic font at the bottom right, reflects his confident identity and strong will as a solo musician.

The album title 'NOISE' signifies the beginning of amplifying Lee Han-gyeol's voice even amidst noise. It expresses the meaning and context of eliminating others' gaze and prejudice (Mute) while maximizing Lee Han-gyeol's potential and expression (Max), not to quieten the world, but to make his voice heard more clearly.

On the 11th, a promotion timetable was released, informing fans that the comeback countdown has begun. Over the approximately one-month period leading up to October 14, the artist plans to continue communicating with fans through various content related to the new album and its concept.

In a recent live broadcast, Lee Han-gyeol shared his feelings of high anticipation for meeting fans due to his significant involvement in this album, while also expressing his enthusiasm to gradually launch into comeback promotions, demonstrating his determination for his new activities.

An agency representative stated, "Lee Han-gyeol is strengthening his resolve to emit a unique color and powerful musical energy through his first solo activities," adding, "He is doing his best in preparation to show the expansiveness and distinct identity he hopes his voice and music will spread to a wider world."
