EXO's Chen Hesitated To Add The Song "Traveler" To His Latest Album For This One Reason

On CHEN FM, EXO listened to Chen‘s latest mini album, Last Scene, and while all the songs were full of charm, there was one song Chen had initially been hesitant about.

The third song Chen played was “Traveler,” one of his B-side tracks, and the music had the members grooving along right from the beginning.

The members quickly praised Chen, with Chanyeol even requesting to “steal” the song from Chen.

Chen was thankful for the positive response and revealed that he was initially unsure whether “Traveler” should be included in Last Scene.

I debated a lot about this. The title song had already been decided. In terms of the mood, I though it was too cheerful. I thought it sounded too cute, so I debated for a bit.

Still, he pushed through with the song because he thought he could present a different side of himself and convey the message that people have a different sense of cuteness after turning 30.

Xiumin couldn’t relate to Chen’s hesitance about the cuteness of the song. After all, known as EXO’s fairy, Xiumin might be the oldest, but he’s in charge of EXO’s cuteness, and he loves it.

Chanyeol gave some final words of praise. For him, his favorite songs by Chen are the brighter ones, and the rest of the members followed up with their own compliments, claiming that Chen was so talented he could ace any genre or song.
