Among the fandoms who celebrated following this news were EXO-Ls, supporters of EXO, who have been waiting for the group's comeback for about 2 years since they dropped their last release, "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING" in June 2021. At the time, they weren't able to make a release with the complete group due to members' military enlistment.
Delighting EXO-Ls and BBH-Ls, Baekhyun will end his military service in February, giving the members opportunity to have a full OT8 /OT9 (with Lay) before maknae-line Kai and Sehun are called for military enlistment.
Based on the news, SuperM, where Baekhyun and Kai belong, will make a comeback first before EXO after SHINee Taemin gets discharged in April.
EXO's return is then hinted to be after spring, speculated to be particularly in June.

Leader Suho Confirms EXO Comeback 2023
While SM Entertainment is yet to make an announcement about EXO's return to the music scene this year, Suho, the team's leader, was the first one to declare the comeback notice, raising expectations from the whole K-pop industry.
With Baekhyun, currently serving the military, is set to be discharged on February 5. This means he can potentially join EXO's first release since their special album, "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING" in 2021, as full group.
EXO, considered a representative group of the third generation, is already receiving an enthusiastic response after amassing huge fanbases both at home and abroad by their numerous hit songs "Growl," "Overdose," "Call Me Baby," "Love Shot," "Monster," "Kokobop," and more.
Attention is focused on how their return will change the K-pop scene once again, as they not only swept various award awards and won Daesangs for four consecutive years, but also had a huge influence around the world, including their entry into Tokyo Dome in Japan, a considered "holy land" venue that only top artists can step on.
