EXO’s Baekhyun has had such an amazing run with his fifth mini-album, “Essence of Reverie” worldwide. The idol has offered a fresh sound with such an interesting perspective on Kpop music, which ultimately brought a masterpiece to the audience, and the fans love it.
It was previously announced that “Essence of Reverie” took only three days to surpass the 1 million copies sold in South Korea according to the Hanteo Chart. This amazing achievement was enough for the idol to set the highest first-week sales record for a solo artist in 2025.
The success behind the album is completely attributed to EXO’s Baekhyun’s hard work while he released pre-release tracks, concept photos and videos, and otherworldly performances from the title track, “Elevator.” The idol has even launched various offline events. In Seoul, a concept-themed pop-up store opened at The Hyundai Seoul from May 22 to 28, offering exclusive merchandise and exhibits tied to the album.
