Top Tier 3rd Gen Boy Group Allegedly Spotted With “Former” Members
EXO has once again gone viral after fans believe the members had recently dined together, despite recent tensions. Online posts are going viral claiming that D.O., Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Chen were seen eating together at a restaurant in Seoul. The sighting has especially caught attention as Baekhyun and Chen are often viewed by some fans as having “left” the group amid the ongoing conflict between EXO-CBX and SM Entertainment.

According to one fan account, the encounter wasn’t direct, but came from the restaurant owner. They had gone to a restaurant and the boss had told them of the matter.

“Seeing all these posts that are taking things out of context and fans arguing with each other makes me feel helpless. They actually keep in touch with each other! In January, I went to a restaurant in Seoul. The boss knew we were EXO-Ls and used a translation app to tell us four members already made a reservation for the following month. My friend went to the same restaurant in February and confirmed they went.
Perhaps everything will get better after the legal process ends. No matter how many members there are, we shouldn’t be doubting their relationship.
The members were D.O., Baekhyun, Channel, and Chen. I hope this made some fans feel better~ Everyone needs to be happy while stanning idols.”
The story didn’t end there. Another fan, who visited the same restaurant in February, claimed to have received confirmation that the members actually showed up.

“It was the 92-line. I’m the friend who went in February. The boss was really friendly. He was afraid we wouldn’t understand what he was saying so he typed a long message using gpt to translate for me and my friend. He confirmed the four of them went.”
While the sighting remains unverified, the story has struck an emotional chord with fans, especially amid ongoing legal disputes. Many are now holding onto the possibility that, regardless of contracts or conflicts, the members’ bond remains unchanged.
