In a recent livestream titled Using Music to Tell Stories, Lay Zhang—an accomplished solo artist and actor—made a notable guest appearance on Bilibili. During the broadcast, he not only shared insights into his ongoing career but also reflected on his time as a member of the renowned boy group EXO, taking a nostalgic look back at his journey from trainee to idol.
As clips from the livestream circulated on social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), one particular comment caught the attention of EXO’s dedicated fans, known as EXO-Ls/Eris. Lay hinted at a potential gathering with his fellow group members, saying, “In September or October, we’ll see if we can get together with the members.”
When probed by the host for more details, Lay remained cautiously optimistic, stating, “I don’t know, I’m not sure right now, but we are chatting.” This sentiment has sparked excitement and curiosity among fans regarding what this could mean for the future of EXO.

Considering Lay’s hints, it seems likely that a full group reunion for EXO could coincide with Sehun’s return from military service in September. This potential reunion carries significant weight, as it would mark Lay’s official return to the group for the first time in four years. He last participated virtually in the 2021 release of Don’t Fight the Feeling, which was heavily influenced by the pandemic.
Should Lay reunite with EXO, it would also be his first public engagement with the group in eight years, dating back to their concert tour, EXO Planet 3 – The EXO’rdium, in Hong Kong in February 2017. Fans are eagerly anticipating what this reunion could mean for both domestic and international activities for EXO, enhancing their already significant global presence.
With a buzzing fanbase and growing excitement, the anticipation for Lay’s potential comeback with EXO in 2025 underscores the enduring legacy of the group and the deep connection they share with their fans.
