The news already sparked fury after netizens saw the similarities in the name “REVERXE” to the name of Baekhyun‘s 2026 tour called REVERIE.


If that wasn’t enough to spark fury, the six members posted a photo wearing “Wolf 88” shirts, similar to the ones they’ve worn in the past. It also had the caption “WE ARE ONE EXO.”

It sparked major fury from fans who thought it was “insensitive” and even dubbed them “manipulative” for trying to use nostalgia as a way of seemingly erasing Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin.
Imagine losing half of the members because you couldn’t manage them RIGHT . https://t.co/CMolwAMXhH

Remove that “we are one” for love’s sake. It’s so hypocritical, corny, hollow, and completely meaningless now.
We’re not the 10-13 y.olds we were back in 2014. You can’t drag that shit out again and expect us to faint from happiness. https://t.co/c7ac0768fo— Rymy |FreePalestine🇩🇿🇵🇸 (@ry3my) December 8, 2025
With every post they make, I feel even more insulted because they really thought we’d be stupid enough to be blinded by nostalgia and so easily manipulated?
Wear the Wolf t-shirts all you want, we can count, and we haven’t forgotten that three members are unfairly absent. https://t.co/YDIX1GN5El

Isn’t that a bit too much now?
We’re no longer talking about a new album or a comeback… we’re trying to rewrite history… we’re trying to ELIMINATE three people!
They want to act like THEY NEVER EXISTED!!!
It’s not just moving on, it’s throwing away the memories we spent… https://t.co/9iVQMlpUlJ— ✵ KyoongNini ✵ (@_Kyoongnini_) December 8, 2025
