JUNHEE Releases First Solo Mini Album The First Day & Night

September 12, 2025 (KST) – Artist JUNHEE has officially released his first solo mini album, The First Day & Night, marking an important milestone in his career. The album is now available on all major music platforms and introduces fans to his long-awaited solo identity.

A New Chapter in JUNHEE’s Career

‘The First Day & Night’ marks JUNHEE’s first work as a solo artist. It is a collection of songs he had long hoped to share but had not yet unveiled, now finally introduced under his own name. The album is the culmination of that journey, ready at last to meet listeners. With ‘The First Day & Night,’ JUNHEE is determined to establish a distinct presence and solidify his standing as a solo artist.

Title Track “Umbrella (10:00)”

The lead single, “Umbrella (10:00),” is a mid-tempo pop track that reflects on the pain of waiting for someone who only appears when convenient. Using the imagery of rain, an umbrella, and solitude, JUNHEE captures the tension between longing and self-reflection.

The music video for “Umbrella (10:00)” premiered two hours before the album release, highlighting JUNHEE’s artistic vision and signaling a strong start to his solo career.

A Time-Based Storytelling Concept

The mini album follows a unique structure that mirrors the rhythm of a single day, from sunrise to nightfall. Each track is tied to a specific hour, creating a soundtrack for different moods and moments. The seven songs progress from “Umbrella (10:00)” to “Night (02:00),” closing with the Korean version of the title track.

To emphasize this concept, JUNHEE revealed concept photos for “Umbrella (10:00)” and “Too Bad (15:00)” at exactly 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. KST leading up to release day.

Pre-Release Success with “Supernova (00:00)”

One month before the album, JUNHEE dropped “Supernova (00:00)” as a pre-release track. The single reached No. 1 on iTunes charts in seven countries and gained recognition on global rankings. Watch the video here
