EXO member and solo artist CHEN has begun the countdown to the release of his new album.
His agency INB100 stated: “On September 9, the release schedule for the teaser content of CHEN’s fifth mini-album “ARCADIA” was published through his official social media channels.”
The revealed image draws attention with its design reminiscent of a diary or journal. The content scheduled for each date is connected by a red thread that leads up to the release day, symbolically representing the long journey toward “ARCADIA”, an ideal.
The schedule also includes a variety of content: concept photos offering a glimpse of the album’s overall mood, an album preview, tracklist, highlight medley, and music video teaser. In addition, special content such as Learn About Arcadia and Find Your Arcadia has been announced, which is expected not only to heighten anticipation for the release but also to give fans a unique experience to enjoy together during the promotion period.
The new album “ARCADIA”, set to be released on September 29, is a mini-album CHEN is presenting after some time away, having steadily expanded his musical spectrum as a solo artist. Since the release of his first solo album in 2019 up to this fifth one, he has put out numerous songs infused with his unique sensibility, earning love from listeners in Korea and abroad.
True to the album’s title, which means “ideal” or “utopia,” this fifth mini-album marks yet another expansion of CHEN’s musical universe, through which he is set to deliver deeper emotions and messages, drawing particular attention.
Meanwhile, CHEN’s fifth mini-album, “ARCADIA”, will be released on September 29 at 6 p.m. (KST) on various online music streaming platforms.
