Elsewhere, EXO are working on a new reality show, SM Entertainment confirmed this week.
In a statement to South Korean news outlet Newsen on Thursday (June 8), the label revealed that that all active members of EXO are set to film a brand-new reality show together in Korea.
On the same day, seven members of EXO – namely Xiumin, Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O. and Sehun – were spotted together at Gimpo Airport by Dispatch. The missing members are Kai, who is currently serving his mandatory military service, and Lay, who has largely been on hiatus since 2017.
The news comes just a week after EXO members Baekhyun, Xiumin and Chen notified SM Entertainment that they would be terminating their contracts with the K-pop agency, though the three EXO members later said in a separate statement that they intend to continue being members of the group.
On June 1, the trio’s legal representative Lee Jae-hak said in a statement that the K-pop idols would be ending their contracts with SM Entertainment due to “mistreatment and unfair contract terms”.
