CHEN OF EXO FINDS SOLACE SAFE SPACE IN SONGWRITING

Through his solo fan concert dubbed "Beyond the DOOR," the South Korean singer-songwriter gave fans a glimpse of how songwriting matters to him just as much as performing on stage.

"I see it as a kind of confession, a way of honestly conveying the thoughts and emotions that I wanted to express to someone," he said in a pre-recorded video shown before thousands of Filipino EXO-Ls on Nov. 23 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City, the last stop of his Asia tour presented by Wilbros Live.

His fourth mini-album DOOR, released last May 28, was another proof of his passion for transforming his words into melodic hits.

Of the six songs in the extended play (EP), Chen co-wrote five: Dandelion, Remember, Playlist, Fall In Love Again and its title track, Empty.
