Super Junior (SUPER JUNIOR) member Donghae (DONGHAE) is showcasing his musical prowess for the first time in 21 years since his debut.

Donghae will release his first full-length album, 'ALIVE', at 6 p.m. on the 20th via various online music platforms, launching into full-scale promotional activities.

The album 'ALIVE' is the result of capturing the most dazzling moments and sincere emotions from Donghae's long journey. Like the album title suggests, it weaves together vibrant music that evokes a sense of 'being alive' into a single narrative. Donghae participated in writing lyrics and composing 11 out of the 13th tracks, consolidating his solid capabilities as a singer-songwriter.

In particular, this new album conveys the album's message clearly through double title tracks that embody different resolutions. First, the title track "Haetdne" connects the image of the rising Taeyang with the symbolism of the name "Donghae," powerfully expressing energy and confidence that moves forward without stopping over a Brazilian funk-style synth bass.

The other title track, 'Good Day (Feat. Jay Park, 1iL)', is a warm and bright pop track based on gospel. The distinctive vocals of Jay Park and 1iL (ONE I EL), combined with rich choir sounds, gently unfold the hope and positivity Donghae aims to convey through this album.

In addition, the album features 13 tracks that organically blend pop, hip-hop, rock, and ballads, offering listeners an immersive experience akin to a road movie. These include 'Goodbye (Feat. TABLO)', where Tablo contributes as a featured artist to deeply complete the narrative of a breakup; 'FLOWER', which metaphorically expresses gratitude to fans through flowers; and 'BEAUTIFUL', which was pre-released at fan concerts and received widespread love.

The first full-length album 'ALIVE' is a gift for fans who have stood by him for a long time and a record of the most beautiful and vivid 'now' of artist Donghae. With his unique musical identity, all eyes are turning to his new leap forward.

Meanwhile, Donghae's first full-length album 'ALIVE' will be available for listening starting at 6 p.m. on the 20th. Along with the album release, Donghae plans to carry out active activities, including a solo concert tour across seven cities in Asia.
