Ahead of EXO's fan meet, the members had a meeting where they hinted at the things that EXO-Ls should anticipate. Fans especially showed excitement after Chanyeol suggested the group to do THIS!
On March 26, EXO posted a new video, titled, "'2024 EXO FAN MEETING: ONE' KICK-OFF MEETING," on their official YouTube channel.
In this video, the EXO members gathered at the SM Entertainment headquarters to plan ahead of their 12th debut anniversary fan meeting on April 14.
Chanyeol Ignites Song Recos From EXO's Discography After Making THIS Suggestion
Upon the meeting, Baekhyun immediately shared his opinion, suggesting placing LED screens closer to EXO-Ls, for a better view. The director then gave a "go" signal, considering if the venue would have a 360-degree stage.
Just then, Chanyeol also expressed his idea regarding their setlist, saying:
"Of course, it would be great to perform really popular songs, but I personally wanna do songs that haven't been performed."
He continued:
"Since we had the last fan meeting after a long time, we did songs that were performed a lot. Last year's fan meeting mainly featured the title tracks, so it would be nice to mix the other good tracks from the album. How about focusing on the other tracks for this fan meeting?"
Baekhyun immediately agreed:
"Let's mix it up, we gotta mix them. Fans are coming to reminisce. I think the nostalgia is what made 'First Snow' top the charts. It would be great to curate the setlist with songs that hold nostalgic memories and say EXO chose them."
Chen also gave his input.
"What about this? The intention itself is to fulfill the needs of EXO-L. I think it would be nice for us to provide the list of songs and have a vote among them."
Just then, the members themselves mentioned some songs that they wanted to show to Eris (fandom), including b-sidetracks from their seventh studio album, "EXIST," and tracks from their previous albums.
Following the meeting's snippet, EXO-Ls were quick to rejoice on the X platform, expressing their delight that Chanyeol suggested them members perform their other tracks.
- "EXO B-sides finally getting the spotlight that they deserve!"
- "Chanyeol is the only one who knows what the fans want so well."
- "Yeah, that's what I've been saying."
- "Chanyeol, the voice of international EXO-Ls!"
As a result, song recommendations erupted among the fandom, with Eris mentioning tracks from EXO's discography that are yet to be performed by the group in an official setting.
Many fans mentioned the songs "Runaway," "Obsession," "They Never Know," "Fall," and more.
How about you? Which EXO song that the group has never performed live before would you like them to perform live?
