Filled to the brim with sentimental lines that narrate that uphill path that he and the members of EXO have forged since the beginning of their musical career as a band, his latest release ‘酒 (JIU)’ kicks off with heartwarming voice recordings of the singer-songwriter conversing with his fellow members.
