EVAN Debut Single “RIDE OR DIE” Sets Two-Track Solo Launch

EVAN’s debut digital single “RIDE OR DIE” is scheduled for release on June 22, 2026, at 6 p.m. KST on online music platforms, according to BELIFT LAB’s official Weverse notice. The release is identified as EVAN’s first digital single and is built around a two-track format, with EVAN credited in the announcement as participating across the production process, including lyrics, composition and recording production. ¹

The debut single rollout has centered on the title track “Ride or Die,” the second track “Overflow,” and official teaser activity released before the scheduled launch. The Korea Times reported that EVAN shared snippets of the debut solo single on official social channels ahead of the June 22 release, and said BELIFT LAB credited him with writing, composing and producing both tracks. ²

EVAN Debut Single Details

“RIDE OR DIE” is presented as a concise digital single rather than a longer EP or album. The official notice confirms two tracks, while media coverage identifies the tracklist as “Ride or Die” and “Overflow.” ^{1 2}

The title track has been described by The Korea Times as alternative rock with pop-rock and hyperpop elements. OSEN, in a report published through Korea Daily, similarly described the song as a pop-rock and hyperpop-influenced alternative rock track and said EVAN took a leading role in writing and composing it. ^{2 3}

The production notes are a central part of the debut announcement. BELIFT LAB’s Weverse notice states that EVAN participated in lyrics, composition and recording production for the single, while The Korea Times report gives the more specific account that he wrote, composed and produced both songs. ^{1 2}

Because the available source material states the scheduled release time but does not separately confirm post-release availability, the supported wording is that “RIDE OR DIE” was scheduled for June 22, 2026, at 6 p.m. KST. The same timing also appears in The Chosun Daily’s English-language report, which said the single and full music video were scheduled for June 22 at 6 p.m. ⁴

Teaser Rollout Previewed the Title Track

The music-video teaser for “Ride or Die” was released on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel on June 20, 2026. OSEN’s report through Korea Daily said the teaser showed a car connected to past memories and EVAN performing in the rain, placing the solo-debut visuals around a memory-linked motif and rain-set performance. ³

The Chosun Daily also reported that the teaser previewed EVAN’s solo-debut performance with rain-set choreography and a car motif tied to memory. Its report identified “Ride or Die” as an alternative rock track based on pop rock with hyperpop elements, aligning with the genre description reported elsewhere during the rollout. ⁴

The official HYBE LABELS teaser page is tied to EVAN’s first digital single “RIDE OR DIE” and includes BELIFT LAB rights information. The page also lists production credits including executive producer Kim Taeho and director Park Dongjin, making it part of the official media rollout for the debut single. ⁵

The teaser coverage gave the title track more detailed visual context than the release notice itself. Available reports describe the clip in terms of performance, rain choreography and the recurring car image, but the source material does not provide a full plot summary for the music video beyond those previewed elements. ^{3 4}

Fan Event and Release Context

EVAN’s Weverse community also announced a hashtag event connected to “RIDE OR DIE.” The event ran from June 17 to June 21, 2026, and asked fans to post congratulatory messages and a cheering hashtag using the required tag “#RideorDie_with_EVAN.” ⁶

The listed prizes for the Weverse event were a music-show photocard set and an autographed Polaroid. Because the event period ended on June 21, the available information places it before the scheduled June 22 release time, as part of the pre-release promotional activity around the digital single. ⁶

EVAN RIDE OR DIE therefore enters the release calendar as a source-confirmed debut digital single with two tracks, official production participation by EVAN, and a teaser campaign led through HYBE LABELS and Weverse. Based on the provided announcements and reports, the key confirmed facts are the scheduled June 22, 2026, 6 p.m. KST release time, the two-song tracklist, and the alternative rock direction of the title track.
