We are deeply grateful to EXO-L for believing and waiting for us.” They added, “We will continue to visit you with even more impressive performances. We will strive to fill the year 2026 with EXO.”

Meanwhile, Lay shared that he had to miss activities due to an urgent commitment in China. Writing on Weibo, he said, “I urgently returned to Beijing to attend an important event at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts,” and added, “I sincerely apologize to everyone who experienced inconvenience due to my absence.”
