EXO’s EXo’verse Fan Meeting Sells Out Despite Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin Dispute

The influence of EXO continues to thrive in the K-pop scene. As of October 31, fans of the renowned boy band have successfully snatched up all tickets for their much-anticipated fan meeting, set for December. This event marks a significant moment, as six members of EXO will be reuniting with their loyal fanbase, also known as EXO-Ls, for promotional activities at the year’s end.

Despite the prior exclusion of members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin from promotional announcements, the excitement surrounding EXO’verse, scheduled for December 14, 2025, has led to a complete sell-out. The meetings will take place at 2 PM and 7 PM, showcasing the enduring popularity of the group.

Pre-Sale Success

The fan club pre-sale for EXO’verse kicked off on October 30, and it quickly sold out. The event, to be held at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, was confirmed sold out by SM Entertainment on October 31. The previous fan meeting, ONE, took place in April 2024, and this event represents a resounding return for the beloved group.

Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin’s Ongoing Dispute

While excitement builds, tensions remain regarding the involvement of EXO-CBX members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin. Their new agency, INB100, states it has cleared their schedules for December, hoping to facilitate their participation in upcoming promotions. However, SM Entertainment alleges that the trio has broken trust, citing issues like unpaid dues.

Fans are worried that despite their desire to participate, the ongoing disagreements may hinder the trio’s involvement in EXO’s future album, set for early 2026. The situation presents a mix of hope and uncertainty for both the artists and their dedicated fans.
