Get ready for EXO member and solo artist Chen's highly anticipated return! His agency, INB100, recently dropped the first concept images for his upcoming 5th mini-album, 'Arcadia,' stirring up excitement among fans.

The 'ON' version images, released on the 11th and 12th via official social media channels, showcase Chen's photogenic charm in a magazine-like layout. The use of lighting effects and band sessions hints at the depth and diverse genre spectrum Chen plans to explore in this new release, amplifying anticipation.

Further visuals draw inspiration from the album's title, 'Arcadia,' presenting a departure from Chen's usual persona. Soft, diffused lighting creates a dreamy atmosphere, symbolically depicting a journey to an imagined ideal realm.

Set for release on the 29th, 'Arcadia' marks another chapter in Chen's journey as a solo artist, consistently building his unique musical universe. His established antique sensibility and powerful, resonant vocals have earned him a strong international following, making this album a significant point of interest.

Adding to the excitement, Chen will hold his concert, also titled 'Arcadia,' on October 11th and 12th at the Hanjeon Art Center in Seoul. His packed schedule promises a dynamic second half of the year. The mini-album 'Arcadia' will be available on various online music platforms on the 29th at 6 PM.

Chen debuted as a member of the globally popular group EXO in 2012, quickly establishing himself as a powerhouse vocalist. He has since cultivated a distinct solo musical identity through EPs like 'April, and a Flower' and 'Dear my dear.' His versatile vocal talents have also shone through numerous successful OST contributions for dramas.
