Baekhyun also achieved 1 billion streams on Spotify and 2 billion streams on MelOn, which prove he is a "One-Top Soloist" and "Genius Idol" indeed!

Some also utilized the multifaceted singer's new successes as a clapback to those who doubted his solo power after his exit from SM Entertainment. As it turned out, Baekhyun alone can bring out impactful results!

On September 6, Baekhyun finally released his much-anticipated 4th mini-album "Hello, World" with the title song "Pineapple Slice" official music video in tow.
The album contains 6 tracks: the aforementioned lead track, alongside the b-sides "Good Morning," "Rendez-vouz," "Cold Heart," "Woo," and "Truth Be Told."
"Hello, World" is Baekhyun's first release as a solo artist since establishing his own label INB100, which he founded alongside his co-EXO members Xiumin and Chen after leaving SM Entertainment in 2023.
