EXO's D.O. Reveals Who His New Love Song "Darling" Is For

EXO member and actor Doh Kyung-soo is releasing new music. His digital single "Darling" will arrive at 6 p.m. KST on Nov. 11.

The new track is a ballad about finding happiness simply in the existence of someone you love. It opens with a gentle piano melody, with more instruments joining as the song progresses.

The lyrics describe loving someone as they are without wanting to possess them. They also capture the feeling of thinking about a loved one in everyday moments and patiently waiting for them.

The song also carries a message for Doh's fans. He sings about wanting the people he cares about to receive more love and supporting them quietly from afar.

Ahead of the release, Doh shared two sets of concept photos. The first shows him surrounded by green grass and sunlight. The second includes shots of him lying in bed and looking at a plant inside a glass jar.

He also released a music video teaser. In the clip, Doh looks through photos of plants and notes spread across the floor, examines a small flower and reaches toward the light. The teaser features images of plants and sunlight, along with text that hints at waiting.

The single arrives as Doh continues his concert tour, "2026-2027 DOH KYUNG SOO CONCERT TOUR [DAY OFF]." He has already performed in Seoul and Macao, with upcoming stops in Bangkok, Jakarta, Kaohsiung, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo and Taipei.

"Darling" will be available on major music streaming platforms starting at 6 p.m. KST on Nov. 11.
