The artist is ready to dominate not just South Korea and Asia but also take over the West. As K-pop becomes more popular with each passing day, he is also taking the opportunity to make a name for himself worldwide.

On August 13, 2024, EXO’s Baekhyun announced that he would be officially releasing his upcoming solo album on the U.S. Official Artist store. Titled Hello, World, the mini-album will be his fourth solo release and will drop on September 6, 2024. The U.S. exclusive versions of the album are available for pre-order and purchase on the official BAEKHYUN STORE site. The store has added a fun game for the fans with an adorable surprise at the end.

The release of his U.S. exclusive album marks Baekhyun's debut in the American music scene. As a solo artist, Baekhyun is now connecting with U.S. fans and engaging with his global audience like never before.
