EXO is officially gearing up for a comeback! In the early hours of September 8, the group teased their return via social media, coinciding with the global sighting of the Blood Moon. Their post featured just “December, 2025,” sparking excitement among fans worldwide.
The announcement included a mystical first-look image with the caption, “When we become true one, a new world awakens,” accompanied by a signature EXO-style planetary collision. A lyric from their MAMA release, “The day the Red Force is purified and legends reunite into one perfect root, a new world shall open up,” hinted at the continuation of the team’s long-running “Tree of Life” storyline. While it’s unclear whether the comeback will involve an album, a single, or a full world tour, fans are eagerly anticipating the return.
EXO’s leader, Suho, reinforced the excitement by sharing the same announcement on Instagram with the caption, “WE ARE ONE,” reaffirming the group’s unity despite lineup uncertainties. He was recently seen supporting Chinese member Lay Zhang at a concert, highlighting the group’s ongoing camaraderie. The comeback is expected to coincide with youngest member Sehun completing his military service, allowing the team to fully reunite for EXO-L.
Questions remain about whether Chen, Xiumin, and Baekhyun of EXO-CBX will participate, given their solo activities under different labels. While all three have expressed interest in continuing group activities, fans will have to wait to see the final lineup for this highly anticipated return.
