EXO, currently a nine-member group, last released new music as a unit in 2023 with "Cream Soda". Since then, members have focused on solo projects and concerts, including performances in Manila during 2024 and 2025, which allowed them to maintain close connections with their global fanbase.

The news of a possible full-group comeback is particularly significant for EXO-Ls, as the group has often promoted with fewer members in recent years due to individual schedules and mandatory military service. 

Known for chart-topping hits such as "Growl", "Monster", and "Love Shot", EXO have consistently delivered powerful performances and concepts that defined the K-pop scene throughout the 2010s.
