Despite nearly half of its full lineup currently absent, the presence of K-pop boy band EXO, a third-generation K-pop stalwart, still resonates loud and deep, as remaining members pursue solo and subunit projects during the group's hiatus due to the military duty requirements of its members.

Currently three members – Suho, Xiumin and D.O. – of the highly popular nine-piece act are serving out their two-year military duties. Chinese member Lay has also been absent from the group's latest activities and promotions, focusing on his solo career in China and the United States.
