On May 7, 2019, EXO's eldest member Xiumin enlisted for his mandatory military service in which he starred in an army musical titled "Return: The Promise of That Day" along with SHINee Onew and Yoon Jisung, which took place from October to December 2019. On Dec. 6, 2020, he was officially discharged.
What Has EXO Xiumin Been Doing Since His Military Discharge?
In a recent interview with E-Daily, the "Blooming Day" singer revealed what he has been doing since he completed his military service and reunited with his fellow EXO members. He shared that he is working hard on self-improvement. "These days, I've been learning new things and trying to enhance my value," he added.
EXO Xiumin continued, "I want to repay my fans, who have always rooted for me, by showing them an improved version of myself."
He then asked fans to look forward to his future activities and listen to "To My One and Only You," which is his first OST since his military discharge. In addition, the male idol has already appeared in a few television shows such as tvN's "Things That Make Me Groove," together with his fellow EXO member Baekhyun, and MBC's "Where is My Home."
What Can EXO Xiumin Say about His "Mr. Queen" OST?
On Jan. 31, tvN's hit drama "Mr. Queen" dropped its seventh OST: Xiumin's new song "To My One and Only You." The sentimental ballad is about a man who has fallen in love with someone - this marks his first release since he accomplished his duties in the military.
When he heard the OST for the first time, EXO Xiumin shared that he expected the song to be something exciting and upbeat. But when he listened to the demo, it turned out to be a ballad, which came out to be a surprise for him. "The song was so good that I gladly decided to take on the challenge [of singing it]. I'm grateful that I was gifted the excellent opportunity to sing for an OST," he continued.
Describing the song, he stated, "I think that it's a song where the lyrics, melody, and the message it wants to convey come together perfectly. I think the charm of 'To My One and Only You' is that it does a great job imparting the words [the narrator] wants to tell someone through the track."
The artist went on to share the time when he was recording "Mr. Queen" OST, "While I was recording the song, I focused on my breathing while singing. Also, since it was for OST, I took note of the vibe and emotions, because I thought the track needed to be in harmony with the story of the drama."
EXO Xiumin concluded, "I hope that this OST will serve as a gift for my fans to celebrate my military discharge."
