h is the debut extended play of Lee Haeri, one half of South Korean duo Davichi. It was released on April 19, 2017.

The album consisted of "Pattern" and "Hate That I Miss You", both serves as the album's title track.

"Pattern" is a groovy medium-tempo track that expertly combines charismatic bass and Lee Hae-ri's chic voice, a collaborative effort of singer-songwriter Sunwoo Jung-A and producer realmeee, resulting in quite a different sound and style from Davichi.

"Hate That I Miss You" is a traditional ballad track, which delivers deep and heart-breaking emotions.
