What fans can expect from Baekhyun’s return, his new agency INB100, and the buzz in the K-pop world.
It’s finally happening—Baekhyun is making a solo comeback in May 2025! For real this time. The news was confirmed by his agency INB100, and fans have been counting down the days since his military discharge.
This is Baekhyun’s first official solo release since his last EP “Bambi” in 2021, which topped iTunes charts in over 60 countries. Now that he’s back, expectations are sky-high. Whether you’ve been a stan since “Candy” or just recently fell into the EXO rabbit hole, this is your sign to get excited.
Let’s talk business—literally. After parting ways with SM Entertainment, Baekhyun founded INB100, an independent label that also houses fellow EXO members Chen and Xiumin. Yup, he’s not just an idol now—he’s a CEO-idol hybrid, and we love to see it.
The new label has been building momentum quietly but steadily. This upcoming album will be the first major solo release under INB100, so fans are watching closely to see how Baekhyun’s creative freedom translates into his music.
And if you’re wondering: yes, INB100 still works together with SM for EXO group activities, so don’t worry—we’re not saying goodbye to OT9 feels just yet.
While there’s no official album title yet, Baekhyun’s past solo discography gives us some clues. From the smooth R&B vibes of “UN Village” to the soulful storytelling in “Love Again”, he’s always delivered vocals, vibes, and visuals.
Fans are expecting a more mature and self-produced sound this time, especially since he’s now calling more shots. Some speculate we might get a full-length album instead of just a mini, but that’s still under wraps.
Let’s be real—Baekhyun is not just another idol. He’s one of the most successful K-pop soloists, with every solo release going platinum in Korea and dominating global charts. His voice? Iconic. His stage presence? Unmatched.
This comeback isn’t just a return—it’s a statement. It’s about reclaiming his space in the industry, showing what a K-pop artist can do with both talent and autonomy. For international fans watching the shifts in Korea’s entertainment world, Baekhyun’s move could even signal a broader trend toward artist-led labels.
If you’ve been sleeping on Baekhyun, wake up babe, he’s back and better than ever. This 2025 comeback is not just about new music—it’s about evolution, ownership, and breaking molds in K-pop. Whether you’re Team EXO or just love watching legends do their thing, keep your eyes on this one.
And hey, once the teasers drop, you know I’ll be back with outfit breakdowns, music analysis, and maybe a little fangirl screaming. Until then—stream “UN Village” and prepare your heart. ❤️
