Changmin Breaks a 4-Year Solo Silence With New Album and RESONANCE Tour

TVXQ's Changmin is coming back solo, and the wait has been long enough that the announcement itself landed as an event. SM Entertainment confirmed on the 14th that Changmin will release a new solo album in mid-October, his first since the mini-album Devil dropped in January 2022, a gap of almost four years and nine months.

The comeback doesn't stop at music. Changmin will kick off a live tour with three Seoul dates at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu: November 6, 7, and 8. The run is titled Changmin Live Session: RESONANCE, and it marks the first time he has ever headlined a standalone solo concert in South Korea. The staging is built around a live band sound, which should suit the kind of controlled, textured performances Changmin has consistently delivered in his solo discography.

How to get tickets

Ticketing for the Seoul dates opens in stages through YES24 Ticket. Domestic fan club members get early access on the 18th, followed by a global fan club presale on the 21st, with general ticketing opening on the 22nd. Details on international tour stops and dates will be announced separately.

For fans of TVXQ, a group that has maintained one of the most loyal followings in Korean pop across two decades, Changmin's return to solo mode is a moment worth circling. His solo work has tended toward polished mid-tempo material with room to show off what that voice can do in an intimate setting, RESONANCE as a tour title suggests he's leaning into exactly that.
