Hwang Minhyun is officially back with new music. PLEDIS Entertainment announced on February 11 that the former NU'EST member would release his new song "Truth" at 6 p.m. KST the same day.

The release marks Hwang Minhyun's first new music since completing his mandatory military service, making it a significant moment for fans who have been waiting for his return to the music scene.

Hwang Minhyun debuted as a member of NU'EST in 2012 and gained additional recognition through his participation in the survival show "Produce 101 Season 2," where he finished ninth and joined the project group Wanna One. After Wanna One disbanded, he returned to NU'EST and continued activities until the group went on hiatus.

As a solo artist, Hwang Minhyun has previously released music including his 2019 single "Universe (Let Me Love U)" and has also pursued acting, appearing in dramas like "Live On" and "Alchemy of Souls."

The sudden announcement of "Truth" suggests this might be a special gift for fans rather than part of a larger promotional campaign, though no details about the song's concept or whether it signals the start of more solo activities have been revealed.

For fans of NU'EST and Wanna One, this release represents a welcome return of one of the industry's well-regarded vocalists. Hwang Minhyun's clear vocals and emotional delivery have consistently earned praise throughout his career.

The timing of the release, announced just hours before it dropped, follows recent trends of surprise releases in K-pop, creating immediate excitement among fans who may not have expected new music so soon after his military discharge.

"Truth" is now available on major streaming platforms.
