EXO's Baekhyun Unveils Dual Concepts for Upcoming Mini Album 'Essence of Reverie'

EXO member and solo artist Baekhyun has revealed both concepts for his upcoming mini album.

On November 7, Baekhyun's agency, INB100, released the 'Reverie' version concept film for his fifth mini album, 'Essence of Reverie,' via their official social media channels.

The video begins with a scene from the previously released 'Essence' version, where two Baekhyuns face each other. It transitions into a colorful display reminiscent of retro games, accompanied by a fitting melody. The rapid scene changes, along with dreamlike props such as clouds and balloons, enhance the ethereal atmosphere, perfectly capturing the 'Reverie' theme.

'Essence of Reverie' explores the boundary between reality and ideals through its dual concepts. It symbolically represents Baekhyun's desire to redefine his musical identity, grounded in his essence as an artist.

Following the release of his fourth mini album, 'Hello, World,' last year, Baekhyun has continued to engage in various activities, greeting the world anew. This next chapter delves into themes of essence and ideals. With his first solo world tour set to kick off in June, marking 13 years since his debut, fans eagerly anticipate Baekhyun's musical journey.

Baekhyun's fifth mini album, 'Essence of Reverie,' will be available on various online music platforms on November 19 at 6 PM.
