Xiumin, a member of EXO and a solo artist, started his 2025 Asia tour successfully with his first solo fan concert, ‘X Times ( )’, held at Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Seoul on March 22. The concert, which had two shows at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., was warmly welcomed by fans.

The concert had a magazine-themed concept, with Xiumin featured in the opening VCR as a main reporter investigating the mystery of “X” for a fictional magazine called X Times. The event aimed to showcase different facets of Xiumin, giving fans a deeper insight into his personality and artistry.

During the concert, Xiumin interacted actively with fans through segments like ‘I am X’, ‘X-FILE Sighting’, and ‘Hot Issue X’, participating in games such as the ‘Mochi Challenge’ and ‘Pineapple Slice Challenge’, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

He performed live all the tracks from his recent second mini-album, ‘Interview X’, including the title track ‘WHEE!’, and also songs from his first mini-album, delivering a 10-song set with passion and style.

A highlight of the concert was when fellow EXO members Baekhyun and Chen surprised Xiumin with a birthday cake during the first show to celebrate his upcoming birthday on March 26 with fans.

After the concert, Xiumin expressed his happiness and shared his hopes of wrapping up the fan concert tour successfully, and even planning to release his third solo album next year and possibly embarking on a full concert thereafter.

Following Seoul, Xiumin will continue his ‘X Times ( )’ Asia Tour with performances in Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Manila, and Taipei, promising polished stages and varied setlists to meet fans.

Additionally, Xiumin is set to star in the upcoming drama ‘Heo’s Diner’, where he will play the lead role of Heo Gyun. The series premieres on March 24, airing every Monday and Tuesday at 5 p.m. KST on Netflix and Wavve.
