On September 20th, 2025, EXO’s youngest member Sehun officially wrapped up his military service! After enlisting in December 2023 as a social service worker, he has now completed his duties and marked the end of EXO’s long military enlistment era. With Sehun’s discharge, all members of the group are now back in civilian life, potentially ready to focus on new music and performances.
The EXO member announced his return by posting an Instagram story with his dog Vivi and a photo from what appears to be the inside of a recording studio. With this, fans quickly thought about the possibilities for new music in the works. But this isn’t the only surprise! To celebrate, EXO scheduled a special livestream for September 21st at 8:00 p.m. Korean time, where Sehun joined Kai Chanyeol, and Suho to connect with fans.
The timing of Sehun’s comeback aligns perfectly with EXO’s plans for a return. The group has teased a December 2025 comeback, even dropping a cryptic post that referenced their debut era with the line “When we become true one, a new world awakens” from MAMA. The discharge of Sehun is hinting at the reunion of EXO and is setting the stage for their next musical chapter. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open for a new era, EXO-L!
