EXO's Sehun Completes Military Service, Group Prepares for December Comeback

EXO's youngest member, Sehun, has completed his mandatory military service, marking the end of the group's extensive military hiatus. His return has generated significant excitement among fans, especially with strong indications pointing towards a full group comeback for EXO in December 2025. The anticipation is palpable as fans look forward to seeing the complete lineup perform together again after over six years.

Sehun, who served as a social service worker from December 2023, was discharged on September 20, 2025. Shortly after his return, in October 2025, he shared his first official post-discharge photos on his social media, surprising fans who rarely see his personal updates. These black and white images highlighted his distinct features, including his white skin, dark eyebrows, and intense gaze, reminding many of his debut visuals. Additionally, EXO's official SNS released a mysterious teaser on September 8, 2025, featuring the phrase "When we become truly one, a new world awakens" and "DECEMBER 2025," strongly hinting at a December comeback. The teaser's imagery and message align with the group's 'Tree of Life' storyline, further solidified by leader Suho's "WE ARE ONE" post.

Local bloggers and fans have expressed immense joy and anticipation for Sehun's return and EXO's potential comeback. Reactions to Sehun's post-discharge appearance were overwhelmingly positive, with fans commenting on his enduring good looks and humorously noting his selfies, while expressing excitement for his future activities. Bloggers noted that Sehun appeared healthy and slightly fuller-faced when he attended actor Lee Bum-kyu's wedding in November 2024. The upcoming fan meeting on December 14, 2025, and the release of the 8th album teaser 'EXOVERSE' further fuel fan expectations for a vibrant new chapter for EXO as a complete group.
