HELLO GLOOM

HELLO GLOOM is the solo identity of Na Ung-jae, a singer-songwriter and producer who used a post-group reset to build one of the sharper dark-pop catalogs in Korea's independent lane. He launched the project in 2022 with the EP Because I Was Young Boy, then kept refining a sound driven by synth tension, shadowy melodies, and emotional control instead of obvious idol theatrics.

That identity clicked harder once he started building under WAY BETTER alongside from20. The company structure gave him more room to shape releases, visuals, merchandise, and touring with a self-directed touch. Singles such as Heaven On Earth, Dancing in the Dark, Eyes On Me, MAMACITA, Somebody, and the 2026 collaboration 119 made the project feel like a real lane, not a side note after group life.

The audience widened through the 2024 Fast On The Highway Europe Tour and the 2026 WAY BETTER World Tour: Global Warming. That stretch proved HELLO GLOOM could travel as a live proposition with its own atmosphere. In the current cycle, the appeal is how cleanly he turns mood, styling, and songwriting into one complete world.
