[Theqoo] Baekhyun released his first solo album with a different genre from other male solo idols but it receives good reviews

Theqoo: Baekhyun released his first solo album with a different genre from other male solo idols but it receives good reviews

When the majority of male idols release ballads or dance songs for their solos, Baekhyun releases his solo album with all R&B songs. He did well and every single b-side track in his album have good quality.

Title track ‘UN Village’ with strong beat and vocal.
‘Stay Up’ of ChaCha Malone featuring Beenzino, nice to listen at night.
‘Betcha’ with the strongest hiphop R&B feeling by Kenzi.
‘Ice Queen’ with the stability of London Noise R&B Soul.
R&B ballad ‘Diamond’ which his good vocal skills are shown.
‘Psycho’ is made for those love SMP.

All the songs are well-picked and his talents can be shown too. The reviews are also good, especially the most popular one is on IZM where everyone agrees with them.

- The more I listen to his album, the more I like it. I like ‘Diamond’.

- I still enjoy ‘UN Village’ until now. I listen to it while I’m working and I feel like the world inside me being hip-hop.

- His album quality is good.

- I like ‘Stay Up’ the most among his b-side tracks. It’s nice to listen to Baekhyun’s b-side tracks when I go to Han river at night. It sounds better at night than in the daytime.

- Because of ‘Stay Up’ lyrics… I listen to it more at night. I personally like songs like ‘Psycho’ so I’m grateful that he put it in the album as a bonus.

- I listen to it just now and it sounds unique and good.

- I don’t skip any song because every song is good.

- Among korean albums I listened to lately, his has the best quality. It’s been a long time since SM released such a masterpiece that has a high quality.

- This is really really really a masterpiece. I’m ‘Ice Queen’ fan and it gets better and better the more I listen to it. There is really no filter song and I’m also a fan of R&B, so I keep listening to Baekhyun’s album only.

- Baekhyun is really good at every music genre. He suits all R&B, ballad, dance very well. I hope he releases a second album soon.

- ‘Betcha’ is extremely good.

- The songs are good and Baekhyun sings well also.

- Not only IZM, other reviews are all good too.

- Anyway he already sings well, so… I’m curious what he will do for the second album.

[Theqoo] Baekhyun’s solo album ‘City Lights’ on Chinese chart

Theqoo: Baekhyun’s solo album ‘City Lights’ on Chinese chart

Baekhyun’s first solo album ‘City Lights’

Chinese 2019 Digital single + album total sales: #16
* Both domestic and overseas digital single + album total combination chart
- Korean singers: #3, Korean solo singers: #1
- Total sales so far: ¥4234806.00 (around 720 million won)

Chinese 2019 Digital album (Digital) Yearly sales: #8
* Both domestic and overseas digital single + album total combination chart
- Korean singers: #3, Korean solo singers: #1
- Total sales so far: 235,267 digital copies

There is actually neither promotion nor event for the album within China. The fandom just focuses on Korean support. Chinese fans think these records are amazing and surprising in the Chinese entertainment. Chinese fans refrain from buying digital/album in China to focus on Korean support. One copy per fan is the basic, but some individuals buy a hundred copies and those lead to an unexpected sales. Fans argue on Weibo: “I just bought one copy, who couldn’t help but buying more? Don’t we have to focus on Korean (supports)?” That’s why there are lots of fans who just buy one copy and many Chinese public listeners also purchase. That results in high sales.


- Woah I’m happy because he does well there ㅠㅠㅠ I hope he can have schedules in China.

- It’s so touching ㅠㅠㅠ

- Woah they are amazing. I hope there will be a chance for him to meet Chinese Eris soon.

- For Chinese Baekhyun Family, I hope he can hold a Chinese fansign next time.

- True. Our Baekhyun ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ it also makes me touched how he listens to every single fan talking.

- He was born to be idol.

- It’s destiny that he would still be an idol no matter what.

- A warming heart can be also considered as a strength... he is cool.

- He’s really daebak. How can he remember? And he even remember the conversation content... even when he say he cannot remember, no one would say he doesn’t love fans. But it’s amazing how he still recognizes them despite meeting a lot of people every single year.

- Daebak. But I love his voice when he said “6 times” and I keep listening to it.
