Just days after completing his mandatory military service, HANGYEOM—a member of the K-pop group OMEGA X—has dropped his very first solo single album, titled 0,1. The release, announced from New York, NY, on November 10, 2026, marks a swift and emotional return to music for the artist, who spent his time away from fans reflecting on their bond.
The album contains two tracks: “MIS2 U” and “Thinking of You (Narration. MISEO).” Both songs were written by HANGYEOM himself, and he also contributed to the composition. According to the artist, the project is meant to channel the excitement he feels about reuniting with his supporters after such a long separation, as well as his deep gratitude for their patience.
“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,” HANGYEOM said in a statement. “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, 0,1, is symbolic. It represents the precious time he has shared with his fans and a promise to stay together forever. “I wanted to express my gratitude through music to the fans who have waited for me for so long,” he added. “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. I hope to thank everyone who has waited for me by continuing to share amazing music. Love you, FOR X!”
The lead track, “MIS2 U,” is a rock-infused number that functions as a heartfelt greeting of reunion and an unchanging promise to those who have stood by him over the years. The second song, “Thinking of You (Narration. MISEO),” takes a softer turn into indie pop territory. It reflects on bittersweet memories and lingering emotions after a breakup, mirroring how HANGYEOM felt during his time apart from his fans. Through this track, he explores the difficulty of moving on from past memories and the conflicting desire to remain in someone’s heart even after a separation.
Alongside the album release, HANGYEOM has adopted a new performance alias: WAVVY (웨이비). The name, he explained, is about riding the waves that come his way and finding his own path through them. To celebrate the solo debut, he also organized a special busking event titled HANGYEOM’s MIS2 U : [0,1] Invitation, scheduled to take place in Seoul on November 15th. Fans can follow HANGYEOM and OMEGA X on social media for updates on future activities.
HANGYEOM originally debuted as a member of the K-pop group Seven O’Clock and later gained attention by ranking sixth on the survival show MIXNINE. He formally joined OMEGA X when the group debuted in 2021. In addition to his skills in rapping, dancing, songwriting, and composing, he made his acting debut in the BL drama Jazz for Two in 2024. After completing his military service in early November 2026, he immediately released his solo single and returned to group activities with OMEGA X.
OMEGA X is currently a 10-member group under IPQ, consisting of Jaehan, Hwichan, Sebin, Hangyeom, Taedong, Xen, Jehyun, Kevin, Hyuk, and Yechan. The group’s name blends Omega (Ω)—the last letter of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing an end—with X, representing the unknown and infinite possibilities. Together, the name reflects their ambition to become the last boss of K-pop through constant change and growth. All members previously appeared on reality TV audition programs or debuted with other K-pop acts, making OMEGA X a second chance in the industry. Through their individual stories, the group hopes fans can relate and resonate with each member’s personality and music.
Why it matters: HANGYEOM’s solo debut so soon after military service underscores how K-pop artists increasingly use personal projects to maintain deep connections with fans during enforced hiatuses. With self-written tracks and a new artistic alias, this release signals a deliberate shift toward greater creative independence within a group framework.
