5. Hwang Min Hyun's digital single 'OUR'

Hwang Min Hyun also releases a digital single, 'OUR', at 6 p.m. today. It has three songs: the title track 'OUR', 'Know You Better' and 'Hotline'. The title track is a mid-tempo pop song about a bond and feelings that don't change over time. The arrangement is kept simple and built around guitar and pluck sounds. A pluck is a short synth sound that cuts off quickly, like a string flicked with a fingertip. The title track's music video comes out at the same time.
