During the broadcast, Xiumin will not only talk to the fans but will also play a few mini-games. The male artist will also perform his solo track "You," which was released back on May 9, 2019, just two days after his military enlistment, and as his gift to EXO-Ls. "You" also serves as his debut solo single and is also part of SM Station.
Xiumin is the oldest member in EXO and now the first member to carry out his military duty. D.O. enlisted last July 2019 and will be the next one to be discharged in January next year. Suho then enlisted in May of this year, while Chen was in October.

Prior to his military enlistment, Xiumin, along with his fellow EXO members Baekhyun and Chen, held the final leg of MAGICAL CIRCUS - 2019 Special Edition Tour, which is their very first tour as EXO's first sub-unit called EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin). The concert was conducted in April 2019 in Japan. But before the special edition concerts, the sub-unit held "Magical Circus" in May and June, having eight shows in four cities in Japan, namely Osaka, Fukuoka, Yokohama, and Nagoya.
Apart from that, EXO's Xiumin also had his solo fan-meeting concert called "Xiuweet Time" at Jamsil Arena last May 4, 2019.
Meanwhile, his last release with his fellow EXO members before starting his military duties is the album "Love Shot," which is the repackaged edition of the group's fifth studio album "Don't Mess Up My Tempo" that was launched on Dec. 13, 2018. It features the lead single that shares the same name with the album.
