Shin Seunghoon, member of boy group NOIR, made his official solo debut as XXIN with the release of his first digital single “Don’t Touch Me” on November 9th at 12 p.m. KST!
The rapper and vocalist himself wrote, composed, arranged and mixed the track. He has been showcasing his production skills since their group’s debut by taking part in writing and composing nearly every song from NOIR’s catalog.
