Excitement Brews as Lay Zhang Sparks Reunion Talks with EXO!

Footage of Lay Zhang, the former member of the iconic K-pop group EXO, has set social media ablaze with speculation about a possible reunion. During a recent broadcast, Lay hinted at discussions among the group, stating, "In September or October, we are seeing if we can get together with the members. I don't know and I'm not sure of anything right now, but we're talking."

This news comes hot on the heels of EXO's leader, Suho, who encouraged fans to anticipate group activities in 2025 at the '9th Asia Artist Awards' held in Bangkok, Thailand. Interestingly, the younger members, Kai and Sehun, are both expected to complete their mandatory military service by then, with Kai set to be discharged on February 10, 2025, followed by Sehun on September 20 of the same year.

Fans did not hold back in their reactions to Lay's comments. Some questioned whether there are still loyal 9-member EXO fans remaining, noting, "It looks like there are actually 9-member EXO fans becoming active again, online and offline." Others reminisced about the nostalgic possibility of seeing a complete line-up, likening it to reunions of first-generation groups that disbanded and later got back together.

Many supporters expressed support for a reunion, with comments such as, "I wouldn't mind seeing all of EXO together again, even if it's just a one-time event." Fans remembered Lay's amicable departure from the group, emphasizing that there were no hard feelings and that he still maintains friendships with the other members.

However, not everyone is fully on board with the idea. Some fans noted the potential mixed feelings among those who have supported the 8-member EXO, illustrating the complexity of their emotions. One fan speculated that Lay's comments might simply indicate plans for a casual meet-up, rather than a full-scale reunion.

As debates among fans simmer, many are curious about how newer EXO fans would react if Lay were to rejoin the group. Despite parting ways with SM Entertainment on April 8, 2022, Lay Zhang remains hopeful about reuniting with his former bandmates, stating his desire to "be together with the members always." Could 2025 really mark the return of EXO as a full unit? Only time will tell, but anticipation is definitely in the air!
