There weren’t just rookie groups in 2025. There were also rookie soloists, like SEUNGHAN. Following his removal from RIIZE, it was announced that SEUNGHAN would make his solo debut as part of a dance crew named XngHan&Xoul, under the new stage name XngHan. His solo debut single, Waste No Time, dropped in July 2025. He is joined by two professional dancers, Kyohong and Yul, who make up the Xoul aspect of the project name (with the possibility of this aspect changing).

Waste No Time falls into the pop-EDM mixed genre, with an upbeat drive that propels the song forward. I really liked the contrast between the light synth work and the heavy bassline. The various flourishes (clangy drums, brass, heavy trap) that pop up throughout the instrumentation keep the song engaging and prevent Waste No Time from becoming overly consistent. That is the risk of such a tight production like in Waste No Time. XngHan himself does a great job vocally and rapping-wise, with his voice gliding over the background. The falsettos lend well to this, and I also enjoyed the overall brightness he brings to Waste No Time. He also helps make the “I don’t wanna waste no time, wanna waste no, I don’t wanna waste no time, no more” hook quite catchy and fun. While the smoothness is an asset, the song lacks some punch. That is the only thing that holds back the song. Otherwise, Waste No Time is a strong solo debut track.

The music video begins with XngHan trying to memorise a choreography in the dance practice room. He is then joined by Xoul, and they get right to business, wasting no more time with practice. This allows them to go out, hang out and go on a road trip together. This complements the lyrics of Waste No Time, which expresses the message of not letting go of the present and moving forward without hesitation. I also enjoyed the bright, vivid colours of the music video, which worked well for the summery period when the song was released.

The trio delivers an awesome performance for this project. Their chemistry really made the choreography cohesive and smooth, while the footwork and sharp arm movements made the routine pop. I hope we get to see more of this XngHan&Xoul lineup together in the future.
