EXO Comeback Poll: Fans Split on Full Group Return

The excitement surrounding EXO’s next comeback remains high — but fans are divided on what it will look like. In a recent Kpopmap poll, global fans were asked: “When EXO makes their comeback, do you think it will be as a full group?”

The results show 45% of respondents believe all members will be there, while 55% think some won’t participate.

The split reflects the realities of EXO’s current situation. Many members are pursuing solo careers while balancing group activities. Notably, BaekHyun, Chen, and XiuMin — collectively called CBX — operate under INB100, a company founded by BaekHyun, while the other members remain with SM Entertainment.

Legal challenges have also made a full-group return more complicated.

Despite the setbacks — from military service to individual schedules and agency conflicts — EXO-Ls remain hopeful. Their optimism is fueled in part by messages from the members themselves, who continue to reassure fans that a reunion is a priority.

Meanwhile, EXO’s members have stayed active with a variety of solo projects, including new music releases, concerts, drama appearances, and variety show engagements. These individual efforts keep EXO in the spotlight while fans eagerly anticipate a full-group comeback.

Whether the next comeback features all nine members or only part of the group, one thing is clear: EXO-Ls’ dedication and excitement remain unwavering, underscoring the strong bond between the group and its global fanbase.
