EXO’s Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin announce a Japan fan meeting

EXO’s Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin (also known as EXO CBX)—just dropped massive news: they’re hosting a live fan meet in Japan this year! The event, titled “GET, SET, GO!,” hits Yokohama’s Pia Arena MM on February 8 and 9, 2025. It’s been a hot minute (six years, to be exact) since they last landed in Japan to meet fans, so the buzz is real.

For the uninitiated, EXO-CBX is EXO’s first official sub-unit, formed after the trio teamed up for the 2016 OST “For You.” Then, they dropped their EP “Hey Mama!,” serving retro pop, dance grooves, and a sprinkle of R&B. Ever since, Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin have worked with the whole EXO squad for albums like “Don’t Mess Up My Tempo,” and “Obsession,” and most recently, “Exist.” They also pursued their own solo ventures in the last couple of years, going their sweet way.

In 2023, the trio grabbed headlines for contract disputes with their company, SM Entertainment, but by mid-year, the drama had cooled. Fast-forward to January 2024, and EXO-CBX officially parted ways with SM, shifting operations under INB100. Now they’re gearing up for this 2025 fan meet, ready to create fresh memories with their loyal fans.
