SM Entertainment’s XngHan&Xoul Unveils “Glow” EP: A Five-Track Journey of EDM, House & Afrobeats, Featuring Title Track “Glow”
K-pop artist XngHan&Xoul, the dynamic brand led by singer XngHan under prominent label SM Entertainment, made a highly anticipated return on Monday with his debut EP, “Glow.” This five-track release marks XngHan’s first new music in nine months, following his successful debut single “Waste No Time.”
The “Glow” EP is a vibrant project that masterfully blends house, disco, and Afrobeats influences, offering fans a deeper insight into the former Riize member’s evolving musical identity within the K-pop scene. The highly-anticipated EP includes the captivating title track “Glow,” alongside engaging B-sides such as “Dancing Anyway,” “Light The Fire,” “Wishlist,” and “Lovin’ On Me.”
“I’m truly thrilled to share such a diverse range of music under the XngHan&Xoul brand,” expressed XngHan. “This album beautifully encapsulates the sounds I personally love — it features upbeat tracks perfect for dancing, but also offers a calmer, more serene musical experience.”
The title track, “Glow,” is an infectious, upbeat house-pop anthem driven by synth-rich melodies and a powerful bassline. Lyrically, the song explores profound themes of rediscovery and human connection, centering on the inspiring idea of finding renewed purpose and inner light through shared experiences with others.
XngHan passionately shared, “‘Glow’ is a song I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone striving to shine, and to all those who continue to illuminate their own path in life.”
For this significant “Glow” EP release, XngHan expanded the collaborative performance format of XngHan&Xoul by introducing two new dancers. The mesmerizing choreography for “Glow” is intricately built around the motif of light, incorporating fluid movements that cleverly mimic switching on or holding light. Key highlights include a standout post-chorus move and a powerful dance break performed dynamically under cascading water, all designed to amplify the performance’s visual impact and appeal.
Leading up to the EP’s official release, XngHan hosted his inaugural fan meeting, aptly titled “Let’s Glow,” in Seoul on Sunday. During this special event, he thrilled fans by introducing the new songs and delivering captivating live performances of both “Glow” and “Wishlist.”
Adding to his impressive track record, XngHan’s debut single, “Waste No Time,” originally released in June 2025, achieved significant global success, topping the iTunes Top Songs charts in 12 regions worldwide, including major markets like Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia.
