With it being about five years since an official comeback with Lay, we cannot help but become emotional. There is nothing else like listening to the songs and hearing all of the members’ voices come together once again.

It amazes me how EXO have individual singing styles but when they sing altogether it still sounds so perfect.
9 voices that brings life to music, thank you Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, Yixing, Jongdae, Suho, Xiumin, Chanyeol, Kai, and Sehun ✨

While Lay has technically made a return to EXO, one of his largest Chinese fanbases Zhang Yixing Bar (also known as XingPark) released a statement, he would be unable to return to Korea for any promotions.
Given the current situation with the pandemic, he will not be able to go to Korea during the comeback period.
