EXO’s Chen Drops Stunning Concept Photos for Digital Single “Broken Party”
EXO’s Chen reveals concept photos for his upcoming digital single “Broken Party,” set for release on April 29, 2025. The new track promises emotional depth and healing.
EXO’s Chen is officially making waves once again as he prepares to drop a new digital single titled “Broken Party.” The announcement, which delighted EXO-Ls across the globe, came with the reveal of stunning concept photos that give fans a glimpse of what to expect from this emotionally charged release.
The singer’s agency, INB100, confirmed earlier this week that Chen will release “Broken Party” on April 28, 2025, marking his return to the music scene following his previous solo projects. This highly anticipated digital single aims to showcase Chen’s vocal depth and his ability to deliver powerful emotions through music.
On April 21, Chen took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the first set of teaser photos. The concept images highlight a somber yet captivating atmosphere, portraying Chen standing alone in a dimly lit space, surrounded by soft shadows and melancholic hues. His expressions reflect vulnerability and introspection—hinting that “Broken Party” will be a heartfelt ballad that resonates with those experiencing loss or emotional struggle.
Fans quickly took to social media to express excitement and admiration for the concept’s aesthetics, praising Chen for his ability to embody the emotional essence of the track even through visuals alone. “These concept photos are breathtaking. Chen never fails to capture emotions in such a raw way,” wrote one fan on X.
According to INB100’s statement, “Broken Party” is a song that explores themes of loneliness, emotional fragmentation, and healing. It seeks to comfort listeners who are navigating difficult times, reaffirming Chen’s reputation as one of K-pop’s most soulful vocalists. The agency also emphasized that the track will showcase a slightly different musical direction for Chen—while maintaining the sentimental quality fans have come to love.
Chen, known for his powerful voice and deeply emotional ballads, has had a successful solo career alongside his activities with EXO. Previous solo releases such as “Beautiful Goodbye” and “Shall We? ” were widely praised for their lyrical depth and musical maturity. With “Broken Party,” the EXO member is expected to once again deliver a piece that touches hearts and offers comfort through music.
In addition to the concept photos, fans can look forward to more teaser content in the days leading up to the release. INB100 has promised a series of promotional materials, including a music video teaser and behind-the-scenes clips, to further build anticipation.
As the countdown to April 28 continues, EXO-Ls around the world are already preparing to stream and support the new single. Chen’s return to the solo spotlight is not just a musical release—it’s a reminder of his enduring impact and artistry in the K-pop world.
