D.O (Doh Kyung Soo) just wrapped up EXO's EXhOrizon concert tour with his final stage on Sunday (November 8, 2026). Now he's ready to return to focusing on his solo career, marked by a new single set for release on Wednesday (November 11, 2026).
As reported by the Korea JoongAng Daily on Monday (November 9, 2026), Doh Kyung Soo will release a single titled "Darling." A romantic song ready to warm you up as the winter approaches.
"This song is about warmth and nostalgia through the depiction of memories from someone's diary," said Blitzway Entertainment management in an official statement. The single "Darling" was released approximately two months after Doh Kyung Soo's latest EP, "DOPAMINE."
The album's lead single, "Guitarist," topped South Korea's domestic chart, Melon Top 100. Today, Guitarist remains on the chart, at #99. This track is the follow-up to Doh Kyung Soo's "Popcorn," which was a slow-burn entry on the chart in the first quarter of 2026.
The song Guitarist is a collaboration between the EXO member and lyricists PENOMECO and DAMIAN; as well as composers NATHAN, Daily, HAJU, and Likey. This track showcases Doh Kyung Soo's excellent vocals across a wide range.
The track opens with a chorus, accompanied by band music, complete with several hooks, and runs for 2 minutes and 43 seconds. The album "DOPAMINE" represents DO's ambition to showcase more upbeat and energetic songs.
The album is dominated by exciting, non-ballad songs. Songs from this album, possibly including Darling, will be the main attraction of the Asia DAY OFF tour which will be held in Jakarta for two days on November 21-22, 2026 at Istora Senayan.
