EXO’s Chen is returning with new music!
On April 26, INB100 released a cinematic MV teaser for Chen’s upcoming digital single ‘Broken Party’. The teaser begins with a butterfly fluttering across a dreamy red backdrop, setting an emotional tone for the song. The video then transitions into scenes of Chen deep in thought at a desk, bathed in warm sunlight, before moving to a more somber moment where he walks through a cold, dimly lit hallway in a classic tuxedo. The teaser concludes with the lyric “Welcome to my broken party,” paired with Chen’s powerful vocal delivery, raising anticipation for the emotional depth of the track.
Previously, on April 24, INB100 revealed a second set of concept photos. These images feature Chen in two contrasting settings: one shows him in a lavish party scene, while another portrays him in an empty, desolate space, visually representing the themes of ‘Broken Party’, such as celebration and loneliness. Furthermore, on April 22, the first set of concept photos was shared, showing Chen in soft, warm lighting, wearing an ivory knit and exuding a peaceful, introspective vibe. In contrast, another image captured him sitting in a messy room with a somber expression, conveying the emotional weight of the song.

Notably, the comeback was first announced on April 21 at 2 PM KST (10:30 AM IST), when INB100 unveiled the first teaser image. In this image, Chen is seen wearing a soft ivory sweater with a black-and-white butterfly resting on his face, creating a tranquil, timeless atmosphere. This visual perfectly sets the tone for the introspective nature of ‘Broken Party’.
‘Broken Party’ is a pop-rock track that explores emotions of loneliness, yearning, and love, offering a deeper look into Chen’s evolving musical style. This marks his first solo release in six months, following ‘Beyond:’ in October 2024.
‘Broken Party’ will be available on all major streaming platforms on April 28 at 6 p.m. KST (2:30 p.m. IST).
