EXO DON’T FIGHT THE FEELING – Is Lay Zhang A Part Of The New EXO Comeback?
Last year, our world was hit by a global pandemic. China was one of the worst affected countries. As borders closed down, people went back home to their families to spend their quarantine with their loved ones. We know that EXO is a Chinese-South Korean band. Only one of the Chinese members of the group – Lay Zhang is still a part of EXO. When lockdowns were announced across the world for an indefinite period of time, Lay Zhang went back to China to be with his family, leaving a big portion of his career back in South Korea. Two members of EXO – Chen, and Suho also joined the military last year to complete their mandatory services. Xiumin and D.O. returned to their careers earlier this year, while Chanyeol and Baekhyun just started their services last month and this month respectively.
