SE SO NEON release “New Romantic” today—a radiant, synth-driven track from their upcoming album ‘NOW‘.
SE SO NEON, led by the genre-defying South Korean artist Soyoon Hwang, returns with a shimmering new single titled “New Romantic”, available now on all streaming platforms. The track, rich in ambient textures and tender vocals, previews the group’s upcoming debut album, NOW, slated for release on August 15.
Anchored by Soyoon’s emotive voice and atmospheric production, “New Romantic” effortlessly blends shimmering synths and delicate emotion. It’s a piece that gently captures the idea of love in all its forms, offering a sonic space to reflect, feel, and connect.
In her own words, Soyoon reflects on the song’s heart: 
“I admit that I have a spectrum of quite diverse aspects, but the one that makes me feel awkward and a little embarrassed is when I have tremendous warmth towards others… ‘New Romantic’ is my own romantic way of expressing love to someone. I always hope that my non-superficial way of conveying love will succeed.”
“New Romantic” builds anticipation for NOW, the long-awaited full-length debut from SE SO NEON. Known for weaving together influences from blues, psychedelic rock, new wave, and synth pop, the band has established a globally resonant soundscape rooted in both nostalgia and modernity.
While the lyrics are sung primarily in Korean, the emotional resonance is universal. As Soyoon says,
“People will feel my energy and my soul.”
With NOW arriving in August, fans can also revisit earlier album tracks “Twit Winter” and “Remember!” to explore the evolving sound of SE SO NEON’s compelling musical world.
