On the 15th, through EXO's official SNS, a preview image of the 2nd mini-album 'Upside Down' ON version was additionally released. Chanyeol's 2nd mini-album 'Upside Down', set to be released on the 25th, incorporates various emotions felt in life, allowing listeners to experience both the bright and dark moments of life through music, which is expected to resonate with them. The track 'High & Dry' included in this album is a slow-tempo pop number influenced by country and pop rock, creating a warm yet lonely mood with a combination of acoustic guitar and pedal steel guitar, depicting a modern person's self-portrait wishing to regain their true self amidst feelings of emptiness and lethargy. Additionally, '123 Dance' is a hip-hop genre song characterized by a vintage and rough texture created by old-school drums and vibrant synth bass, with lyrics about maintaining a positive attitude and doing one's best at every moment while thinking of those who support them, harmonizing with his dynamic flow rap. Chanyeol's solo debut 1st anniversary concert 'CHANYEOL [Upside Down: Sound Stage]' to be held on August 31 at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul, recorded a complete sell-out immediately after ticket reservations began, proving the intense interest in him.
