After more than a decade of dazzling performances with EXO and a string of solo hits under his belt, Baekhyun is finally embarking on his first-ever solo world tour — and it’s one for the books. Titled Reverie, the highly anticipated tour will span multiple continents and includes stops in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, marking a significant milestone in Baekhyun’s solo journey.
Who Is Baekhyun?
Baekhyun is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and actor renowned for his dynamic vocals and charismatic stage presence. He debuted in 2012 as a member of the K-pop group EXO, as well as its sub-units EXO-K and EXO-CBX, and later became the leader of the supergroup SuperM.
Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the EP City Lights, which sold over 550,000 copies, making it the best-selling solo album in South Korea for that year. He continued his success with Delight (2020), which became the first album by a South Korean soloist to surpass one million sales in 19 years, and Bambi (2021), which also achieved million-seller status. His 2024 album Hello, World was the world's best-selling album by a K-pop soloist that year, with 1.4 million units sold.
Throughout his career, Baekhyun has received numerous accolades, including three consecutive Mnet Asian Music Awards for Best Male Artist from 2019 to 2021. He has also been recognized with awards from the Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.
In 2023, Baekhyun established his own label, INB100, seeking greater creative autonomy while continuing group activities with EXO under SM Entertainment. He embarked on his first solo tour, the Lonsdaleite Tour, in 2024, performing across Asia and showcasing his versatility as an artist.
Beyond music, Baekhyun has ventured into acting, notably starring in the historical drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), for which he received the New Star Award at the SBS Drama Awards. He also co-hosted the music program Inkigayo and participated in various variety shows, further demonstrating his multifaceted talent.
A New Era Begins: Baekhyun’s First Solo World Tour
The Reverie tour is more than just another concert series — it’s the beginning of a new chapter for Baekhyun as he reconnects with fans across the globe in an intimate and powerful way. Kicking off this June 2025 in Seoul, the tour will support his forthcoming solo EP titled Essence of Reverie, due for release on 19th June 2025. This marks Baekhyun’s fifth solo project, continuing his successful streak as one of K-pop’s most accomplished male soloists.
From his silky-smooth R&B vocals to his emotive stage presence, Baekhyun has consistently proven that he’s a force to be reckoned with — not just as a member of EXO, but as a standalone artist in his own right. Fans can expect a blend of old favourites like Candy, UN Village, and Bambi, as well as brand-new songs from his upcoming album.
Malaysia Finally Gets Its Wish: KL Concert Confirmed
Malaysian EXO-Ls have waited a long time for this moment. After skipping the country during his previous Asia-focused Lonsdaleite tour, Baekhyun is finally making his way to Kuala Lumpur. The concert is scheduled for:
- Date: 23rd August 2025 (Saturday)
- Venue: Idea Live Arena, 3 Damansara Mall, Petaling Jaya
- Organiser: iMe Malaysia
This marks one of the first large-scale K-pop events to be held at the brand-new Idea Live Arena, which officially opened on 27th April 2025. The state-of-the-art venue can accommodate between 5,000 and 7,000 fans, depending on the configuration. Its modern design and upgraded acoustics make it a fitting location for an artist of Baekhyun’s calibre.
While ticketing information has yet to be announced, organisers have confirmed that more details — including seating maps, pricing tiers, and fan benefits — will be revealed in the coming weeks. For now, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to iMe Malaysia’s official channels for updates.
Singapore Welcomes Baekhyun in November
Southeast Asian fans unable to catch him in KL will have another chance later in the year when Baekhyun takes the stage in Singapore. His Singapore concert is set for:
- Date: 1st November 2025 (Saturday)
- Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium
- Organiser: To Be Announced
The Singapore Indoor Stadium, a familiar venue for many major K-pop acts, has played host to numerous high-profile tours in the past, and it’s expected to be packed with eager fans when Baekhyun finally arrives.
