[MyDaily = Reporter Kim Ha-young] Super Junior member Donghae is showing his musical growth 21 years after his debut.
Donghae will release his first full-length album, ALIVE, at 6 p.m. on the 20th via major online music platforms. He will then begin full-scale promotions.
ALIVE gathers the brightest moments and most sincere feelings from Donghae’s long journey. True to its title, the album weaves vivid, life-affirming songs into a single narrative. Donghae co-wrote and co-composed 11 of the 13 tracks, underscoring his strength as a singer-songwriter.
Notably, the record delivers its message through two title tracks that carry distinct energies. The first, 해 떴네 (Sun’s Up), links the image of a rising sun with the symbolism of Donghae’s name. Built on a powerful Brazilian-funk–style synth bass, it channels relentless energy and confidence.
The other title track, Good Day (Feat. Jay Park, 1iL), is a warm, bright pop song rooted in gospel. Jay Park and 1iL’s distinctive vocals blend with a rich choir to gently convey the hope and positivity Donghae intends to share.
Elsewhere, Tablo appears as a featured artist on Goodbye (Feat. TABLO), deepening the album’s breakup narrative. FLOWER likens gratitude for fans to blooming flowers, and BEAUTIFUL — previewed at a fan concert to enthusiastic response — completes the lineup. Thirteen tracks spanning pop, hip-hop, rock and ballads connect organically to create the immersive feel of a road movie.
ALIVE, Donghae’s first full-length album, is both a gift to long-standing fans and a vivid record of the artist’s present. Fans around the world are watching his next leap as he stakes out a distinctive musical identity.
ALIVE is available to stream from 6 p.m. today (the 20th). Donghae plans an active promotion schedule, including a solo concert tour across seven Asian cities.
