D.O., an EXO member who also works as a solo singer and actor, continues his energetic activities even after the tour ended. Through his official channel, D.O. released the music video for his new single “Darling” at 6 p.m. on the 11th. This digital single is a new song released about two months after his 4th mini album “DOPAMINE,” which was released in September. D.O. delighted fans by previewing the release of the new song during the “2026-2027 DOH KYUNG SOO CONCERT TOUR [DAY OFF].” Having successfully finished performances in Seoul and Macau, he is scheduled to tour Bangkok, Jakarta, Kaohsiung, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo, and Taipei in the future. According to his agency, the new song “Darling” is a ballad number that sings about the feeling of being happy just by seeing the person you love. The lyrics contain a pure feeling that there is no greed or impatience to make the loved one one’s own, and that they are lovable just by existing. The agency explained, “’Darling’ also contains the feelings D.O. wants to convey to his fans. It warmly depicts a love that watches over and supports, hoping that the loved one can receive more love.” In the released video, D.O. showed himself organizing cassette tapes in a room and spending calm time sewing. In another scene, he is shown singing while illuminated by light on a bed. In scenes surrounded by nature, there are scenes of him putting fluff into a bottle and singing while looking at it, and at the end, he is depicted walking toward a starry sky, making it an emotional music video. D.O. released his 8th full album “REVERXE” in January 2026, when EXO marked its 14th debut anniversary. The album recorded the group’s 8th million-seller, and also took first place on album and music streaming charts in Korea and overseas. Furthermore, it achieved five wins on music programs, posting strong results. EXO also successfully completed its world tour. The members, including D.O., began with a performance held for three days from April 10 to 12 at KSPO DOME (Gymnastics Arena) in Olympic Park, Songpa District, Seoul, and held a total of 27 performances in 14 regions around the world.
