EXO’s Suho turns on the charm with music video and second solo mini-album for ‘Grey Suit’

Suho’s second mini-album is a collection of stories he’s been “wanting to tell for two years.”

EXO’s Suho has made a soul-stirring return with his second mini-album Grey Suit—a collection of songs that offer a peek into his personal thoughts. The sentimental music video and album were released on Monday, April 4. 

With you, the whole world is aglow / I pray, you’re light / Suddenly, the frozen minutes melt like a miracle / The moment I encounter you, it turns into colors / Together again no more / I crave your color that I love,” Suho sang in the song’s chorus. 

Suho revealed in an online press conference that Grey Suit is an ode to time, a word he became “obsessed” with during his military enlistment. The EXO member served in the military from May 2020 to February 2022

“[Grey Suit] is an album that contains a lot of my color and stories I’ve been wanting to tell for two years. While feeling the importance of time, I contemplated and thought a lot about how to mesh everything better and to make many people empathize,” Suho said, as per a translation by allkpop

Suho participated in the planning, songwriting, and production of the album. “I've put the thoughts I want to say in this album participating in the production from the planning stage. I’m so proud of myself.”

The EXO member hopes fans would feel his “sincerity” and remember the significance of time in his second mini-album.

“I was thinking about how to make an album while waiting for the date to be discharged from the military, and I thought that I would be able to deliver my sincerity if I set the theme of time and tell the story I want to tell,” Suho added.

Suho’s second mini-album is composed of six songs including Morning Star, Grey Suit, Hurdle, Decanting, Bear Hug, and Moment

Suho debuted as the leader and lead vocalist of South Korean-Chinese boy group EXO in 2012. He made his solo debut with the EP Self Portrait in March 2020.
