Who’s ready for an EXO comeback?
What a way to launch our new website – with an EXO comeback!
It’s been more than a year since the release of their fourth album ‘The War‘ and the repackaged version ‘The War: The Power of Music’. It’s also been almost a year since the release of ‘Universe‘ the December Christmas release.
Needless to say we are more than ready for a new album!
EXO‘s fifth full album ‘Don’t Mess Up My Tempo‘ is scheduled for release on November 2. The album will feature a total of 11 songs as well as a Chinese version of the title track ‘Tempo‘.
Let’s catch-up on all the teasers that have been released so far – as expected, they are plentiful and visually A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
The group has adopted a charismatic and endorphin-fuelled concept for this comeback. The imagery is seemingly at odds with itself, with the members on motorbikes looking like street-racers and then adopting a more sedate and fashionable concept featuring intense gazes and reflective moody vibes.
The concept short film that was released gives us a good look at the street-racer concept with the members riding motorbikes and gazing intently into the camera. Then the highlight of the teaser – a very short (much too short in our opinion) snippet of Chen‘s vocal.

Now, let’s get down to the business of checking out the individual member teasers. There is a series of images of each member being released along with a short teaser clip of each member.
Chanyeol‘s teasers are the latest to be released, and we are just a little bit speechless.
The combination of tough guy and suave gentleman works well for him. Do we even need to comment on the blue contact lenses?

Xiumin‘s images is as always strong and fierce but oozing with charisma.
Whether he’s dressed for the street-racer concept, or the more suave and fashionable concept, they both work amazingly well for Xiumin.

Baekhyun‘s teasers sent social media into meltdown when they were released this week.
He looks mesmerising in his images which again mix the two concepts of tough guy motorbike rider with suave and moody Baekhyun.
