EXO Celebrating 10th Anniversary
The SM Entertainment group recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary since its debut. Only five members were able to come together to celebrate it since other members are still in the military. DO, Kai, Sehun, Suho, and Xiumin were all present in their latest variety show "EXO's Ladder".
They also celebrated their debut anniversary with fans with a concert at the Jamsil Arena on April 9. After some days, another member got discharged from the military. Further, news about Lay's departure from SM Entertainment was released during that time.
Meanwhile, Baekhyun and Chanyeol are still in the military so it is unlikely that a complete comeback with the whole group will happen anytime soon. Their youngest members, Kai and Sehun, will also enter the military soon.
Let us just wait for more information about them. In the meantime, stay tuned for more news about Xiumin solo activities!
