Hyojung, the leader of the popular K-pop group Oh My Girl, is set to release a special winter single, bringing a festive atmosphere to the season. Her new song, "Christmas Night Train" (크리스마스 야간열차), will be unveiled on December 18 at 6 PM through major music streaming platforms.

On December 10, her agency, WM Entertainment, announced the news by revealing the official title poster for the single on its social media accounts. The poster captures a serene image of a sandy beach, with a lone Christmas tree standing in the center. Beside it, a figure dressed in a Santa costume and a small travel suitcase evokes a sense of quiet anticipation.

The solitary figure in the poster, likely representing Hyojung herself, seems to be embarking on a journey. Although the setting is a chilly winter beach, the visuals convey warmth and nostalgia, reflecting the seasonal sentiment of the track. This release marks Hyojung’s first winter-themed solo single, showcasing her growing artistry and versatility as a performer.

Hyojung has been steadily expanding her musical repertoire. In August, she contributed as a lyricist for the track "Love Me Like You Do," featured in Oh My Girl’s 10th mini album. This step highlighted her evolving skills as a songwriter, complementing her established reputation as a vocalist.

The anticipation surrounding "Christmas Night Train" is high, as fans are eager to see how Hyojung’s unique voice and heartfelt delivery will capture the essence of the winter season. Her solo endeavors, including this special release, underline her artistry beyond her group activities.

Oh My Girl, known for their consistent chart-topping hits, has long been celebrated for their ability to connect emotionally with their audience. Hyojung’s solo single adds another layer to their legacy, as it allows fans to see a more personal and introspective side of her as an artist.

As the year comes to a close, "Christmas Night Train" is expected to become a staple on holiday playlists, adding warmth to the festive season. With Hyojung at the helm, the track promises to deliver both comfort and joy to listeners worldwide.
