EXO’s Chen Shares Hopeful Message To Fans Amid Legal Battle
The ‘Everytime’ singer took to Bubble and interacted with fans. He reassured them that he’s doing well, both physically and mentally. The K-pop idol asked to stay positive and healthy and encouraged everyone to enjoy the rest of October with a smile. His words brought comfort to many fans who were worried about the group’s situation.
The dispute between Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin, and SM Entertainment has gained immense attention. According to reports, investigations by the Culture Ministry and Fair Trade office found no evidence of SM Entertainment breaking rules or not treating the idols well. Therefore, the court is in favour of the agency and the three members have lost all the cases.
On the other hand, SM Entertainment shared exciting news for fans of the K-pop group EXO aka EXO-L’s. Their eighth album is reportedly going to be released in 2026. Alongside the album, a fan meeting called ‘EXO’Verse’ is scheduled for December 13 and 14, 2025. For this special event, only six members will be present.
As of now, some fans are excited for the group’s comeback, whereas others are hoping for a complete reunion featuring all nine members. Only time will tell!
