D.O. to Release New Digital Single 'Darling' on Nov. 11

Singer and actor D.O. is back with new music about two months after his last release. He will release his new digital single, "Darling," on Nov. 11 at 6 p.m. KST through major online music services.

"Darling" is his first new song since his fourth mini album, "DOPAMINE," came out in September. The news comes while D.O. is still on his global concert tour, which made the announcement a welcome surprise for fans.

D.O. shared the release news at midnight KST on Nov. 9, posting an announcement poster for "Darling" on his official social media channels. At 12:30 a.m. KST, he followed up with a concept teaser image.

The poster has a vintage look. A photo of a dandelion and a fabric label sit on faded paper. It also carries the English line "Darling I'm dreamin' 'bout you and your starry eyes," along with the singer's name and the release date, written as "26.11.11."

The teaser image is laid out like an old photo album left open. Pictures of grass, plants in small glass jars and other small objects sit next to handwritten notes, giving it a warm, soft mood. The notes hint at deep feelings

or someone, leaving fans curious about the story the new song will tell.

"DOPAMINE" showed a wider musical range from the singer. The album hit No. 1 on iTunes album charts in six countries, including Japan, and reached No. 2 on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart.

D.O. is currently meeting fans around the world on "2026-2027 DOH KYUNG SOO CONCERT TOUR [DAY OFF]." After wrapping shows in Seoul and Macao, he will take the tour to Bangkok, Jakarta, Kaohsiung, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo and Taipei.

His last album marked a change in his sound. Now, with "Darling" arriving between tour stops, fans are waiting to see what kind of mood he brings next.
