HYNN's New Winter Ballad '영하' Receives Warm Reception

Singer HYNN (박혜원) has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally with her new winter ballad. On January 15, HYNN released her fifth mini-album titled '영하', reaffirming her status as a leading ballad artist. The album is filled with her unique emotional depth and captures the essence of winter, drawing in many listeners.

The title track '영하' evokes winter feelings right from its name and made an impressive debut at 29th place on Melon's 'Hot 100' chart shortly after its release. By the morning of January 16, the song maintained a strong position in the charts, signaling its growing popularity.

'영하' is a ballad that beautifully encapsulates warm memories of lost love and the cold longing that accompanies it, featuring lyrical expressions of complex yet delicate emotions. The music video, set against a vast snowy landscape, enhances the song's emotional impact with its stunning winter visuals, reminiscent of the cinematic quality found in the film 'Love Letter'. This artistic presentation has left a lasting impression on many viewers.

Fans have responded enthusiastically to HYNN's new release, sharing comments such as, "Winter is cold, but HYNN's emotions are warm," and "Listening to this has been a struggle since '그대 없이 그대와' (Without You, With You)." Others expressed sentiments like, "My heart's temperature is '영하' right now," and "This ballad album is truly precious."

The mini-album features a total of seven tracks, including the title song and HYNN's self-composed piece '배웅' (Farewell), along with previously loved songs. Additionally, Japanese and Chinese versions of her popular track '오늘 노을이 예뻐서' (Today, the Sunset is Beautiful), released last October, are included, promising a special treat for her global fans.

International fans have also shown their excitement, expressing their love in various languages. Comments like, "I've been watching on YouTube for years; I never thought I'd hear her sing in Japanese," and "I'm studying in Japan, and I'm so happy to hear this song in Japanese," reflect the widespread appreciation for her work.

To celebrate the release of '영하', HYNN will launch a limited edition KiT album and hold a fan signing event. Pre-orders for the limited edition KiT album will be available until midnight on January 23, with details for the fan signing event available on the KiT album store website.
