Boy band Golden Child’s Hong Joo-chan will drop a new solo digital single titled “Still thinking about you,” his agency, Woollim Entertainment, said Friday.

The new digital single is a remake of singer Lee Jung-bong’s 1996 song, which was already once remade by Park Hwayobi in 2002. Both songs garnered major popularity when they were released.

“Still thinking about you” will be the singer’s first solo music in five years since his last track, a remake of The Classic's 1994 track “A Song For Me,” was released in 2019.

Further details about the new digital single, including its release date, will be announced in the coming days.

Hong Joo-chan debuted as a member of boy band Golden Child in August 2017 under Woollim Entertainment. The band has 10 members: Lee Jang-jun, Tag, Bae Seung-min, Bong Jae-hyun, Kim Ji-beom, Kim Dong-hyun, Hong Joo-chan, Choi Bo-min, Lee Dae-yeol and Y.

The band has released songs such as “It’s U” (2018), “Wannabe” (2019), “Pump It Up” (2020), “Breathe” (2021) and “Replay” (2022). The band’s latest third single “Feel me” was released on Nov. 2 last year.

Hong is currently active in the theater scene as well, appearing in musicals such as “Altar Boyz” (2021), “Equal” (2022) and ‘Harlan County” (2023).
