EVAN to Return With First Mini Album 'DEATH OF ME' in September

EVAN is returning with his first mini album, "DEATH OF ME," just over two months after making his solo debut.

Set for release Sept. 7, the album explores the complicated emotions that can pull a person in different directions and the determination to take control and keep moving forward. EVAN once again took part in the overall production process, building on the hands-on approach he introduced with his debut single, "RIDE OR DIE."

Released in June, "Ride or Die" showcased EVAN not only as a vocalist and performer but also as a songwriter and producer. The track topped iTunes charts in nine countries and regions and reached No. 1 on Tencent Music's weekly Korean music chart in China, while its music video also entered the upper ranks of YouTube's global daily trending music video chart.

Ahead of the new album, EVAN is expanding his activities overseas. He is scheduled to appear at the Grammy Museum's "Spotlight" program in Los Angeles on Aug. 14 before performing at KCON LA 2026 two days later. He will also attend award shows in China and Korea later this month.

EVAN will celebrate the release of "DEATH OF ME" with a showcase at Kyung Hee University's Grand Peace Palace in Seoul on Sept. 7.
