K-pop boy band EXO will release its eighth full-length album next month, its first group project in about two years, SM Entertainment said Monday.
The nine-track album "REVERXE," set for release on Jan. 19, will feature six members — Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, Sehun and Lay. Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin will not take part due to an ongoing contract dispute with the company.
EXO held a fan meet-and-greet event at Inspire Arena in Incheon, just west of Seoul, over the weekend, where the six members performed hit songs and premiered a new track, "I'm Home" from the upcoming album.
The nine-member group had been on hiatus since members began their military enlistments in 2019. Sehun was the last to complete his service in September.
