K-pop artist Hyolyn unveiled a brief preview of her new music project “xhyolynx” ― set to be released May 15 ― with the project's first single on her social media, Tuesday.
This project comes a year after her first music project “SET UP TIME,” when she released three songs ― To Do List, DALLY, and See Sea ― last year.
Hyolyn collaborated with Melanie Fontana, who wrote K-pop sensation BTS's song “Boy With Luv,” on the project's first single. The title has not yet been revealed.
The singer became a solo artist after SISTAR, a girl group that debuted in 2010, disbanded in 2017.
She is set to begin her first solo world tour “2019 HYOLYN 1st World Tour [TRUE],” in Berlin, May 29. The tour will run from Europe, the Middle East to Asia, ending with a concert in Tokyo, June 30.
