As professional editors at Hello Korea, we’re tracking every beat of this exciting development, and from the looks of it, his second mini-album, aptly titled ‘BIG IMPACT,’ promises exactly what it says on the tin.
The announcement came straight from his agency, POGO Entertainment, which dropped the official scheduler for ‘BIG IMPACT’ via their social media channels on January 8th at 5 PM KST. This meticulously planned rollout is designed to build maximum anticipation, offering fans a series of tantalizing teasers leading up to the grand release.

This comeback marks a significant return for Choi Suho, following his successful debut mini-album, ‘ONE,’ released last April. With ‘ONE,’ he showcased a diverse musical range, from the passionate sounds and energetic vocals of his title track ‘Go to the End’ to the sweet fan song ‘Us Together,’ proving his versatile musical prowess and setting a high bar for his subsequent releases.
Interestingly, Choi Suho gave his dedicated fanbase, Subangsa, an exclusive first look at the ‘BIG IMPACT’ jacket image during his inaugural solo fan meeting, ‘Suhohakgaeron,’ held in Seoul last month. His heartfelt declaration, “I wanted to show Subangsa first,” ignited an explosive response, further solidifying the strong bond he shares with his fans.
Having deepened his musicality through various impactful activities last year, including his appearances on MBC’s ‘King of Active Singers 2’ and the subsequent ‘King of Active Singers 2 National Tour Concert,’ as well as the release of his first mini-album ‘ONE,’ expectations are incredibly high for the fresh and unique appeal that ‘BIG IMPACT’ is set to unleash.
The wait is almost over! Choi Suho’s second mini-album, ‘BIG IMPACT,’ is officially slated for release on January 23rd at 6 PM KST, available across all major online music platforms.
As K-culture continues its global takeover, artists like Choi Suho are masterfully blending traditional genres with contemporary flair, creating an urban soundscape that resonates beyond borders. We are particularly keen to see how ‘BIG IMPACT’ will further solidify K-Trot’s stylish evolution in the mainstream music scene.
