EXO is gearing up for a highly anticipated comeback this December.

Teaser with Lunar Imagery

In the early hours of September 8, SM Entertainment surprised fans by posting an image on its official social media. The teaser captured the moment of a lunar eclipse with the phrase, "The day we truly become one, a new world will open," along with "DECEMBER 2025."

Group Plans After Sehun's Return

SM explained, "EXO will actively resume group activities as soon as Sehun completes his alternative service. The group is planning to reconnect with fans through various projects."

Questions About Full-Group Promotions

Whether EXO will return in full remains uncertain. This is due to the ongoing legal dispute between SM Entertainment and EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin). SM previously filed a lawsuit for contract enforcement, while EXO-CBX countered with a claim for financial settlement.

The upcoming comeback marks a symbolic new chapter for EXO, coinciding with Sehun's return and fans' long-awaited anticipation for group activities.
