EXO D.O. Returns with Fourth Mini-Album 'DOPAMINE' and Global Tour

EXO member D.O. (Do Kyungsoo) is making a solo comeback with his fourth mini-album 'DOPAMINE' on September 8. This return is drawing significant attention as it marks his first album under a new agency and highlights his reputation as a versatile 'all-rounder' active across music, acting, and entertainment, generating considerable buzz among fans.

The album 'DOPAMINE' is D.O.'s first solo new release in approximately one year since his digital single 'DUMB' last September, and about 1 year and 2 months since his first full album 'BLISS' released in July. The title 'DOPAMINE' suggests a concept of delivering strong enjoyment and stimulation, with teasers featuring sunglasses and ice hinting at a cool, sophisticated atmosphere. His comeback is notably scheduled just one day after SHINee's Minho's new album release on September 7, creating a unique comparison of their distinct musical styles.

Local bloggers express high anticipation for D.O.'s unique vocal color and the concept transformation promised by 'DOPAMINE,' moving beyond his previous warm acoustic style. Fans are also excited about the confirmed global tour following the album's release, which is expected to showcase the album's worldview on an unprecedented scale. Preparations like reconfirming official fan club membership for pre-sales and memorizing new song lyrics are already underway among fans.
