"Hello, to our EXO-Ls, This is Suho. I'm writing this message as I have something to say to everyone. I'll be serving my mandatory military service that will begin on the 14^th of May. During that time, I know that I'll really miss our EXO-Ls. I pray that EXO-Ls, who think and love me everyday, will always be healthy. Thank you and I love you with all my heart.
