EXO D.O.’s True Feelings On Comeback Missing CBX Sparks Heated Reactions
Recently, EXO has resumed group activities, albeit with only six members instead of nine.
This is due to the ongoing legal issues between CBX and SM Entertainment, which have resulted in the exclusion of the three idols from the group’s fan meeting and upcoming album. As the problems persist, attention has shifted from SM Entertainment’s response to the idols themselves, as fans hope to get their thoughts.
EXO Members Blasted For Recent Insensitive Post Amid CBX Lawsuit
Recently, EXO D.O.’s comments on the situation have sparked debate amongst fans.
D.O. recently appeared in the K-Drama series The Manipulated and was interviewed by the media on topics related to the show. The topic of his activities as an idol and as an actor came up, with him answering questions about EXO’s comeback, including its “incomplete” nature.
We’re preparing very diligently. First of all, I’m sorry that this isn’t a full-group comeback. We all feel the same way. Of course, everyone thinks of EXO as complete only when all the members are together, so I believe the timing just didn’t work out this time. We’re doing this album as it is now, but if possible, I think we’ll be able to show you a full-group comeback with the next album.
— D.O. via SportsQ
These comments were reposted on X, where fans had strong feelings about the content. Many fans were relieved that D.O. did not shy away from talking about the members and encouraged hopes of a future OT9 reunion.

Others were angered that D.O. was asked a question about the ongoing issues, with some even claiming that the article was “faked.”
That is a fake article girl wake up! Exo have only 6 members, you better accept it and move on already, are you all gonna cry everyday? Don't get your hopes up if you don't wanna be disappointed again because ot9 will not gonna happen, sm is done with them https://t.co/75wYuC0cIc

Ugh, I’m so sick of this… Is it really that hard to just leave our kid alone?

Kyungsoo is nobody’s spokes person. Whoever wants those 3 stooges can go ask them or SM. I do not want Kyungsoo’s name in their deranged poisonous fans mouth. https://t.co/eYYP7IfOWt
