EXO's Chanyeol will make a comeback with an emotional new song. His 2nd mini-album 'Upside Down', released on August 25, includes six songs that incorporate his unique sensibility across various genres such as pop, rock, hip-hop, and R&B, with band sounds as the main focus. In particular, the title track 'Upside Down' is an electronic rock song that combines distorted guitar riffs, classic rock-style drums, and electronic synths, with lyrics that express a heartfelt determination to not give up on oneself even amidst the pain of a world falling apart. This album encompasses various emotions that everyone feels in life, and as the album name 'Upside Down' suggests, it expresses not only bright moments like happiness, love, and friendship but also dark moments like pain, wounds, and emptiness through music, providing listeners with a sense of catharsis. Prior to this, a graphic poster titled 'SAFETY GUIDE' showcasing the album concept was released through EXO's official SNS, raising interest. Starting from the 12th, teaser images of Chanyeol in an 'OFF version', appearing troubled by complex emotions, have been released, attracting attention.
