Lay will be absent from his group EXO's fan meeting on the very day of the event.

On December 14 KST, EXO's agency SM Entertainment announced, "We would like to inform EXO-L (official fandom) who have been waiting for the EXO fan meeting. Due to unavoidable circumstances, member Lay is unable to attend the fan meeting."


The agency added, "We ask for your understanding regarding the sudden announcement of changes to the lineup to the fans who have waited and supported us for a long time." They confirmed that members Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun will participate as scheduled.

SM Entertainment plans to provide full refunds without cancellation fees for those who wish to cancel their tickets due to the change in the participating members.

Lay, who has been focusing on local activities in China, was scheduled to resume EXO group activities after a long hiatus through this fan meeting, drawing high expectations from fans. Since he had fully participated in recent rehearsals, fans are expressing shock at the sudden absence notice delivered on the very day of the event.

Meanwhile, EXO's exclusive fan meeting 'EXO'verse' will be held twice on December 14 at 2 PM and 7 PM at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. As Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun reunite with fans through a standalone performance for the first time in about 1 year and 8 months, all tickets for both shows were sold out during the fan club pre-sale.
