Artist Haena returns with her new digital single “Time, Minute, Second,” featuring an AI-generated animated music video slated for release on December 6 at noon across major online music platforms, according to Sports Kyunghyang.
AI Animation Transforms Haena in “Time, Minute, Second”
The upcoming single centers on the desperate sentiment of clock hands that run at different speeds but ultimately cross paths. To bring this theme to life, an AI-utilized animated music video was produced that highlights Haena’s kitschy sensibility. In the teaser video, the animated version of Haena boards a speeding subway while numerous clocks and photographs appear as symbolic objects hinting at a spacetime-transcending plot. The teaser concludes with the character reaching out to touch hands with someone, heightening anticipation for the full release.
Concept Photos Reveal Dual Aesthetics
Leading up to the release, Haena rolled out three concept photos and video teasers across social media and YouTube channels between November 29 and December 2. The initial rollout featured two contrasting visual styles. The first concept photo placed the singer in a school look and casual attire against a quiet neighborhood backdrop to showcase a bright energy. The second concept photo shifted toward a chic expression and hip visuals for a contrasting mood, followed by an illustration version that unveiled her animated counterpart holding a guitar.
Vocal Power and Musical Background
Audio teasers accompanying the visual rollout previewed Haena’s powerful vocals through the chorus lyrics: “Slow you are hour. Fast I am minute-second hand like I’ll reach you. Every hour to meet you.” Haena originally debuted in 2024 as part of the girl band Angel Noise, where she built a following for her strong vocals and distinct tone before launching her solo career in June with the single “Pick the Wrong Answer Only.”
Release Details and Future Timeline
The new single arrives four months after her previous release, marking an incremental step in her growth as a solo artist. Fans can stream “Time, Minute, Second” and watch the accompanying music video when it drops on December 6 at noon.
