On April 9, 2025, EXO celebrated their 13th anniversary with a live broadcast featuring Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., and Kai. They dropped big news: a fan meeting once Sehun returns from military service. This marks another fan meeting for the group, which previously held one in April 2024.

But the problem? Some EXO-Ls are worried that Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin—known as CBX—will appear. Their ongoing legal conflict with SM Entertainment excluded them from the anniversary broadcast, making fans think they might miss the event. Lay’s absence also stung, reminding everyone how much they crave a full lineup.
This is kinda heartbreaking considering it’s an EXO Anniversary. How I wish this was just an April Fools prank. Why can’t CBX join. Mygod pic.twitter.com/fP64s2b4RR

Suho revealed, “Since we’re back, we need to reunite. We’re planning to hold a fan meeting too. So please look forward to it.” Kai also mentioned, “Now all that’s left is to meet EXO-L. I hope the next 13 years will be a happy time that will make them feel short.” However, this group reunion tastes bittersweet for most fans, since 4 members of their squad might not be part of their rendezvous. The official details of this fan meeting and EXO comeback have not been confirmed, so stay tuned to see how it all unfolds!
