'Bambi' is the follow-up Korean album of Baekhyun's successful EP titled 'Delight' that hit music streaming sites and stores last year.
This will be the K-pop idol's fourth solo endeavor after his self-titled Japanese mini-album released in January of this year.
The news of Baekhyun's mini-album follows the singer's teaser for his upcoming duet with fellow SM Entertainment artist Doyoung of NCT.
On March 10, the music video teaser revealed the two crooners' remake of Lee Ji-hoon and Shin Hye-sung's original song “Doll.”
The release is part of Stone Music Entertainment, KT, and Genie Music's “Rewind: Blossom” project, where artists from various entertainment labels will remake songs from the 1990s to the 2000s.
According to reports, a total of eight songs will be released in two sets, one on March 12 and the other on March 26.
Besides Baekhyun and Doyoung, other artists include K-pop group IZ*ONE, Urban Zakapa, B1A4's Sandeul, Davichi's Kang Min-kyung, Ha Sung-woon, Wonstein, Park Moon-chi, and Yoo Seung.
