D.O. has previewed the release of a new song along with the success of EXO’s encore concert. According to D.O.’s agency on November 9, D.O. will release the new single “Darling” through various music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on the 11th. This digital single is a new song being unveiled about two months after the 4th mini album “DOPAMINE,” which D.O. released on September 8. He is continuing beautifully busy days by previewing even the release of a new song in the middle of the “2026-2027 DOH KYUNG SOO CONCERT TOUR [DAY OFF]” tour. The teaser poster released ahead of the music release was accompanied by the phrase, “Darling I’m dreamin’ ’bout you and your starry eyes.” Many music fans’ expectations are rising for D.O.’s new voice. This year, D.O., in celebration of EXO’s 14th debut anniversary, released the 8th full album “REVERXE” with the members in January. With this album, the group achieved its 8th million-seller in total, and also achieved the feat of winning first place on domestic and overseas album and music charts and completing a grand slam of five crowns on music shows. Following that, EXO launched a world tour of a total of 27 shows in 14 regions around the world, starting with performances held for three days from April 10 to 12 at KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Songpa District, Seoul. The encore performance also ended successfully. D.O. is steadily building his position as a solo artist as well. He recently showed strong performances in the film “Secret: Untold Melody” and the Disney+ original series “The Manipulated City,” solidifying his position as an actor “you can trust to watch.” In the tvN variety program “Where You Plant Beans, Beans Grow; Where You Plant Red Beans, Red Beans Grow,” directed by PD Na Young-seok, he showed cheerful chemistry with actors Kim Woo-bin and Lee Kwang-soo.
