EXO continues to generate significant buzz in Korea through both individual member activities and the enduring loyalty of its fanbase, over a decade after their debut. Recent events include member Baekhyun's upcoming 2026 Seoul concert and leader Suho's candid reflections on the group's history. The group's long-standing influence is also highlighted by a national athlete's recent achievement.
Baekhyun, who debuted with EXO on April 8, 2012, is preparing for his "EXO Planet 6" Seoul tour in November 2026, following the release of EXO's 8th full album "REVERXE" in January 2026. Meanwhile, national athlete Park Nayeon, a 13-year EXO fan, recently secured a gold medal at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, fulfilling a promise she made to member Kai. Leader Suho recently shared his candid feelings on a YouTube channel, expressing regret over the group's past member changes, noting EXO debuted with 12 members in 2012 but saw Kris, Luhan, and Tao depart in 2014-2015, leading to a 9-member structure.
Local bloggers underscore the deep connection between EXO and their dedicated fanbase, as exemplified by Park Nayeon's heartfelt achievement. They also recognize the members' individual career paths, such as Baekhyun's diverse activities and upcoming concerts, while acknowledging the emotional weight carried by leader Suho in navigating the group's long history. These narratives collectively reflect EXO's enduring legacy and the personal journeys of its members and supporters.
