H1-KEY conveys comfort with a new song featuring a soft, fluffy emotion.
H1-KEY (Seo-i, Liina, Hwisa, Yel) released all individual concept photos for the new single "The world isn't like a movie" in four installments from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3.
In the released photos, H1-KEY evoked a soft, fluffy mood as they looked out at a window scene where white snow was fluttering. Seo-i conveyed coziness with a pure gaze and a pose of clasping her hands, Liina radiated lovable charm with a fresh updo. Hwisa offered warmth with a wistful gesture and a gentle smile, and Yel gifted viewers with positive energy through a bright expression.
In another cut, H1-KEY's more calm and natural mood induced a healing that melts the cold. H1-KEY captivated global fans not only with individually expressive facial acting but also with dazzling visual chemistry.
The new song "The world isn't like a movie," which H1-KEY presents to mark their 4th debut anniversary, is an R&B dance track that captures the warm atmosphere of winter. They previewed the performance at the New Year's "2026 Countdown Show Light Now (LIGHT NOW)" held on Dec. 31, drawing both praise and lingering feeling from fans.
H1-KEY proved their global influence by consecutively entering the top 10 of lists such as NME's and Billboard's "The 25 best K-pop of 2025" and The Hollywood Reporter's "The 40 best K-pop of 2025" with the title track of their previous mini album 4, "Lovestruck," and the summer song "It was summer." H1-KEY is expected to further solidify their musical standing with their winter song "The world isn't like a movie," returning for another season.
H1-KEY's new song "The world isn't like a movie," which will offer comfort with a warm message, will be released through various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 5th.
