Yuto Adachi, who was active mainly in South Korea as a member of the global boy group PENTAGON and has now moved his base of activities to Japan, attracting significant attention both domestically and internationally, will release a new song 'Hate to LOVE YOU feat. Aile The Shota' on June 10.

This work features Aile The Shota, a singer/rapper who exudes a unique presence, as a guest artist. Yuto Adachi and Aile The Shota themselves participated in writing the lyrics and composition, creating a song that delicately portrays the precarious romantic feelings of 'wanting to leave but being unable to leave.'

Over a pleasant and sophisticated track, Yuto Adachi's low-toned rap intertwines with Aile The Shota's transparent high-tone voice, resulting in a song that exudes a calm, adult charm. It vividly expresses the real emotions of being drawn to each other while also hurting one another.

'Hate to LOVE YOU,' born from the intersection of Yuto Adachi and Aile The Shota—two individuals living in the same era but walking different paths, each possessing a unique individuality—is sure to color the nights of many listeners this summer.
