My thoughts on EXO

As you all know, I am a big EXO fan. Have been for quite some time and it's always rewarding when they release music.

When I first discovered EXO, I was not sure if I would become their fan but wow... The quality spoke for itself.

Since then I only experienced 2 group comebacks (If I'm not counting DMUMT)... Obsession and DFTF and 10+ (Solo and Sub-unit projects)

For majority of my time as fan... I feel like I haven't seen EXO as a group as much as I'd like to but you know what? even then I am happy that Obsession era and DFTF era were good experiences.

For me, EXO is really the best group out there. Even though I'm mostly focused on their music, I feel like they are good and funny people (although I don't know them, and I can only hope they are good)...

Their songs are like a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly evening... Soothing and also, very much groovy.

I am here for the long run, it seems and they are too...

Since their contract renewal is coming up, I felt compelled to write to about this. I hope they stay together for a long time and make music because KPOP will never EVER have a group like them... Not even close.

I feel like EXO has been held back in so many ways. I try to not think about this stuff but I can't help it. My mind goes in this direction frequently.

Anyway,

About the 2025 OT9 comeback :- I pray to god that time passes by quickly.... I want to experience what a true full group comeback feels like...

Followed by a world tour... I don't need to say much about music because I know they will be coming back with absolute bangers.

Till then,

I will be waiting.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Replace EX'Act with any other album....

Quote from Kireta

It really sucks that a lot of exols now a days never got to experience the days when exo was really active, but the fact that they are still gaining fans just shows that their music is just timeless

I too miss exo and will happily wait for the day they all come back on stage as one.

Yes

Quote from penepol

I really wish I’d been properly around for a full EXO comeback. I just want to -selfishly- experience their full group dynamic live for myself. I was aware of a few tracks I loved back in 2017/ 2018 but I only just started considering doing a deep - dive just before D.O announced he was going into his service.

But, I’m glad always when I see how - In spite of not being at full strength or activity as a group currently, they are continuing to attract new fans.

Me too. Only Kai and Sehun's enlistment is left and after that....the drought will be over.

Quote from Ves

My thoughts? They'll be back! I think they have a rare bond not often seen in KPOP and will want to come back for themselves and the fans, so I'm hopeful.

Thank you, Ves

Have a good day

Quote from MyZen-L

In your opinion, do you think they'll do some comebacks here and there like Super Junior, or actually return to actively(for what it is) promoting as if it is pre-enlistment era?

Bit of both.

Quote from bcx12

They’ve had a special place in my heart always. This also makes me wish in 2017/2018 that I was more invested in kpop and focused because musically it’s one of my favorite eras from them

I hope they will stick together and continue

Quote from FrostyMaple

I never thought I would be so emotionally connected to a group like I am with Exo. To say I love them would be an underestimation

Even though I'm sad that a lot of newer Exols couldn't really appreciate their full group dynamic live, I never felt extremely sad when not every member was present when they came back with Obsession and DFTF, because the members always give their 100% to make sure we get the best experience and quality

Daniel I suddenly got such a good thread idea, thank you for the inspiration

I'm waiting for that thread, Maple...

You better tag me on that
