EXO is gearing up to strike straight at the hearts of "Pink Blood" fans with a bold return in signature SMP style.

EXO will release their eighth full-length album "REVERXE" on January 19. The comeback comes approximately two years and six months after their seventh studio album "EXIST," released in 2023.

The group is set to showcase SM Entertainment's hallmark sound and performance identity through SMP (SM Music Performance). In particular, the title track "Crown" highlights distinctive SMP elements in its choreography.

The performance visually expands EXO's universe, translating its symbolic motifs into dynamic movement. One standout point move features the members appearing to claim individual crowns before placing them on their heads, reinforcing the group's overarching narrative.

The choreography was co-created by renowned choreographers Jayrick and Bada Lee, centering on powerful group formations. The routine emphasizes both EXO's unity as a full team and the members' individual presence.

EXO previously hinted at this direction during a fan meeting last year, teasing that the title track would follow an SMP style. At the MMA 2025, they further fueled anticipation with a high-impact performance of "Back It Up."

The agency commented, "EXO received strong reactions after previewing their SMP direction and performing a b-side stage. Please look forward to the performance of 'Crown' as well."

EXO officially makes their comeback on January 19, with pre-orders for "REVERXE" currently underway.
