“I’m nervous yet excited about my first solo album. I hope the music makes you happy,” D.O said regarding Empathy.

In a Soompi report, D.O. shared how he prepared for his first solo album. “It feels really new. I used to sing with my members, but I had to sing alone, so there were some difficulties. However, it was nice to have a unique and fun experience,” he said. 

In the eight-track album, D.O. wrote two songs – the title track “Rose,” and “I’m Fine.” “After deciding the theme of the album would be ‘empathy’, one of the things I thought of was love, an emotion that anyone could feel, and I felt that it would be nice if my songs could comfort others,” the 28-year-old singer added.
