SM Entertainment recently announced the 'EXO: 13IRTHDAY HOME PARTY' through EXO's official channel. According to the announcement, EXO members Suho, Chanyeol, Kai, and D.O. will host a live broadcast on November 8 at 8 PM to commemorate their 13th anniversary.
The exclusion of Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin, collectively known as CBX, from the event has raised eyebrows. Despite CBX's current activities under their own label, INB100, fans argue that all members should participate in such a significant milestone for the group.
Interestingly, D.O., who has also left SM Entertainment to establish his own label, Sooso Company, will be attending the event. Sehun, who is currently serving in the military, will not be present.
Following the announcement, Baekhyun expressed his disappointment on the fan communication platform Bubble, stating, "I could do the challenge well too. I want to do a live broadcast. It would have been nice to know in advance. It's a shame." This has led some fans to speculate that SM did not inform CBX about the anniversary event, sparking debates online.
