For many who have been fans of K-Pop for a while, the name DEAN sparks many emotions.
DEAN is a talented solo musician whose recent activities have left fans in a state of confusion. After releasing several hit songs, the artist seemingly disappeared, not resurfacing for around five years.
Aside from features, his latest single, “DIE 4 YOU,” was released in December 2023 after his comeback was announced.
Recently, DEAN surprised many with the announcement of his appearance on BIBI‘s upcoming release “Burn It” as a featured artist.
Now, it seems the artist has not only announced plans for another release, but shared new music!
On November 9-10, HYPEFEST 2024 HONG KONG took place and featured a variety of artists in its lineup, including DEAN.
The artist performed tracks from throughout his career, including “21,” and “Howlin’ 404.”
