Singer Sung Han-bin has continued to grow and establish himself as a "male solo artist you can trust and listen to."

On the 12th, Sung Han-bin held a showcase commemorating the release of his first mini-album, 'Dead Alive (DEAD:ALIVE),' at Layers Studio 11 in Sinsoo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Sung Han-bin shared his thoughts on his solo debut, stating, "It is a moment of great honor and preciousness, so I will show you everything I have prepared."

He continued, "I tried to capture the best version of myself. It has been four years since my debut, but this is my first solo album activity, so there were many difficult aspects and things I was encountering for the first time. Nevertheless, instead of trying to take the easy way out, I approached this activity with a mindset of growing through it."

Sung Han-bin is also the leader of the boy group ZEROBASEONE. ZEROBASEONE originally debuted with nine members, but after their previous contract period ended in March last year, Jang Hao, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, and Han Yu-jin returned to their original agency, while Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, and Park Geon-uk re-signed contracts, restructuring the group into a five-member lineup.

As the team's leader, he also received enthusiastic support from his members. Sung Han-bin said, "My members, who are like family, supported me a lot," adding with a smile, "I would rush to my members as soon as I received a demo song and ask them what they thought. My hyung (Kim) Ji-woong even sent a coffee truck to the music video filming location, offering warm support."

The concept of 'Dead Alive' is a story about not stopping even in the face of fear and breaking through one's limits by passing through pain and trials. It unfolds the journey of moving beyond the familiar self toward a new appearance with the keyword "beautiful destruction."

The title track, 'UNDEAD,' is a track containing a strong will to willingly accept any pain or trial for the sake of you and myself. Through the story of repeatedly collapsing and rising again to become an existence that does not perish, it symbolically conveys the messages of "beautiful destruction" and "self-transcendence" from 'Dead Alive.'

Sung Han-bin also mentioned feeling growth as he moved from group activities to his solo debut. Sung Han-bin said, "It was the first time I wanted to run away from the recording studio," explaining, "The songs themselves were very high-pitched, and since my vocal tone is a warm, husky boyish voice, I had often sung songs that wrapped around warmly. On the other hand, this new song has an intense feeling that needs to stretch forward, so I experienced positive stress. It became an opportunity for growth in overcoming things I had never tried before."

He continued, "In reality, I re-recorded about four to five times and gradually found my own unique color. I regained confidence and grew by thinking, 'I thought I couldn't do this kind of song,' but then realizing, 'I can do it.'"

Among male solo artists, his role model is NCT's Jaehyun. Sung Han-bin said, "There are many senior artists I have looked up to, but seeing senior NCT's Jaehyun made me want to carry that aura," adding, "I thought that whether on stage or as a solo artist, having that kind of aura would make the public and fans watch more."

Finally, regarding his goals, he smiled and said, "I hope my ZEROBASEONE members, who are like family, will see me and think, 'Our leader is doing this so coolly, so I should become cool too.'"

'Dead Alive' is released at 6 p.m. on the 12th through various online music sites.
