It is now confirmed that EXO Lay will be joining the group for their much-awaited comeback, "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING"!
EXO Drops New Teaser Photos for "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING"
EXO-Ls and Xingmis (EXO and Lay's fandom, respectively) can now freely rejoice as Lay is confirmed to be taking part in EXO's upcoming special album, "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING"!
On May 26 at 8:00 pm KST, EXO dropped new individual teaser photos on their official social media accounts.
In each of the photos, the members pose in an all-black ensemble against an all-white background, while a streak of shadow looms over their faces, creating a mysterious yet chic photo that highlights each of the members' visuals and charms.
With the release of the teaser photos and confirmation of Lay taking part in the special album, the Mando-pop star started trending on multiple social media platforms, such as "LAY IS BACK," "OMG LAY," "YIXING, " and "#LAY_OnRadar"; while "DONT_FIGHT_THE_FEELING" and "#EXOSideOfTheMoon" are also trending worldwide, with fans showing how happy they are with Lay's participation.
Previously, it was reported by a reputable Chinese fansite of Lay that the Chinese singer will be joining EXO once again for the comeback to commemorate the group's ninth anniversary since their debut.
However, neither SM Entertainment nor Lay's label, Zhang Yixing Studio, commented on the report or announced his participation in the special album, leaving it as a speculation.
This will be the first time in a while that Lay will be promoting with EXO after "Don't Mess Up My Tempo." The Chinese-born singer has been on an extended hiatus from the group since 2016 in order to focus on his booming solo career and schedules in his homeland.
In addition, the political conflict between the two countries - China and South Korea - has severely limited his promotions in the latter country.

Due to this, there has been an ongoing speculation among EXO and Lay fans that the singer would be departing or has already departed from the group after not seeing him in numerous promotions of EXO.
However, the announcement by his Chinese fansite and the release of the teaser photos has removed all speculation.
Meanwhile, EXO is gearing up to celebrate their ninth anniversary with EXO-Ls with their special album, "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING," which is scheduled to be released on June 7 at 6:00 p.m. KST.
According to the schedule leading up to the album release, EXO will be dropping the "Episode 2" teasers from May 27 to 30.
On May 31 and June 1, a prologue and screening will be released, respectively, followed by another set of teasers from May 31 to June 3.
Starting June 4 to 7, teasers for the music video will be released.
