By Cara Emmeline Garcia

The year 2021 is going to be Baekhyun's year as he announces that he will be coming out with his first Japanese album by January!

On Twitter, the EXO member announced that his mini-album will be coming out on January 20, 2021, and that it will feature six new songs, such as “Get You Alone,” “Addicted,” “WHIPPIN,” “Drown,” “Disappeared,” and “Stars.”

According to reports, each song is based on love and will represent the different sides of Baekhyun like never before.

Each song will also have a limited edition album version and comes with certain perks, including photo cards, posters, lyric booklet, and so much more.

While this is the K-pop idol's first solo Japanese venture, EXO had already released Japanese tracks before, including “Electric Kiss” from the 2018 album “Countdown,” which received gold certification for amassing more than 100,000 copies in under 10 days.

Early this year, Baekhyun also released his EP titled “Delight” and its lead single “Candy,” which was nominated as Song of the Year and Best Vocal Performance Solo for this year's Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA).
