Exo and Exo-L celebrate the 10th anniversary of the group’s debut.
8th April, 2022 marks the 10-year milestone for the k-pop boy band Exo. The official account of the group shared the congratulatory post for the boys. The group is additionally commending the commemoration with a mood lamp set called “Peter Pan.” No different subtleties have been released about it.
The members, who as always wanted to share their achievements with their fans, began the celebration with a spontaneous Instagram live, where they not only congratulated each other but always the fans for staying with them through the years and for their love and support.
While it could have been an emotional moment for any other group and their fandom, it turned into a usual chaotic one for Exo and Exo-ls. Seeing the non-techno savvy members struggling to join each other’s Instagram live was sure fun to watch of the fans.
The live was full of chaos with Kai teaching his Huyngs how to get used to the technology, Xiumin sharing how it was the very first time in his life he went on Instagram, Junmyeon being the funny one without even trying- playing with Instagram filters ignoring whatever the other two are saying, and Sehun on the sidelines struggling to be a part of their live and eventually ending up going live on his account individually. So the chaos and the struggle or the group and the fandom was real!
The Sextuple Million-seller band, EXO, appeared under SM Entertainment in 2012 with 12 individuals from South Korean and Chinese origin. The group currently remains with 9 individuals with 6 dynamic active individuals (Xiumin, Lay, Suho, D.O., Kai and Sehun) while 3 individuals (Chen, Baekhyun and Chanyeol) are finishing their obligatory military administrations.
Earlier SM Entertainment declared that a fan meet would be coordinated the band, Exo, in order for them to celebrate the 10 years of their debut with their fans a.k.a Exo-Ls (Exo’s being a fan’s name).The event will be held on 9th April, 2022 at 7 pm KST in Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium located in the southern part of Seoul, South Korea.
The meet will be gone to by 5 of the 6 active members, specifically, Suho, Xiumin, Sehun, D.O. and, Kai who will be performing as well as partaking in games and different other exciting exercises throughout the occasion.
While promoting for his newest solo album ‘Grey Suit’, Exo’s Leader, Suho received a heartwarming letter from one of the fans. The letter read, “our youth is called exo. to me, exo is my everything of my 20s. the memories of crying and laughing together for 10 years pass like a flashlight. thank you so much for making good memories for all those times. let’s stay together for the 20th and 30th anniversary”.
The group has been trending on various social media platforms for days now as the fans are gearing up to be a part of the celebration. Hashtags such as #10YearsWithExo #AlwaysAndForeverExo #EXOWeAreOneDecade, trended in many countries as a way of fans showing their support to the group.
While the day marks the 10 years of the group’s debut, it also marks the end of the contract with the company for some members. In a hand-written note, the last Chinese member of the group, Lay a.k.a. Zhang Yixing, announced that he would be parting ways with the company. Zhang Yixing is a successful singer, dancer, producer, actor and the CEO of Chromosome Entertainment.
However, he assured the fans that even if his contract with the company came to an end, he will remain a part of the group forever. Lay wrote, “It’s time to say goodbye as an employee of SM. It’s also my new beginning as a 30-year old. But I will always be the Lay when my members need me. I’m your family member in China, Zhang Yixing. Love you forever, Exo”.
Calling Exo the greatest gift, Lay again proved that Exo is and will always be 9
