EXO-CBX — consisting of EXO members Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin — is reuniting for a fan meeting event in Japan for the first time in almost seven years.

The trio’s agency INB100 announced Tuesday that the group would be holding a two-day fan event, “2025 CBX JAPAN FANMEETING ‘GET, SET, GO!'” It also unveiled a poster with the members dressed up in black suits and sunglasses. The fan meeting will be held on Feb. 8 and 9 at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama.

This will be the group’s first fan meeting since it held its first fan meeting, “Summer Vacation with EXO-CBX,” in 2018.

“As this will be their first time meeting with Japanese fans in a while, the members are expected to create special moments not only with various performances and segments but also through closely communicating with fans and creating meaningful moments together,” the agency said in the release.

The group, formed under SM Entertainment as a sub-unit of EXO in 2016, has been focusing on solo acts since leaving the agency in 2023. It filed a complaint against the agency to demand contract termination, which was settled amicably later on.

Chen dropped his fourth solo mini-album, “DOOR,” in May and a digital single, “Beyond,” in October. Following his latest release, he went on an Asia tour, visiting four cities including Taipei and Manila, through November.

Baekhyun recently set his biggest album sales record within the first week of the release with the fourth mini-album, “Hello, World,” selling over 1 million copies three consecutive times.

Xiumin has been starring in music survival shows, presenting as one of the judges in KBS’ “MAKE MATE 1” and TV Chosun’s “Mr. Trot.”

The tickets for the fan event will become available on each artist's fan club platform on 6 p.m. Tuesday.
