Confirming the news of EXO’s comeback, the group’s agency told Soompi, “EXO’s 7th full-length album will be released on July 10. As they’ve worked hard on the album, the promotions will proceed as planned, and the detailed schedule will be released soon.” EXO’s upcoming album is also expected to feature Kai, who enlisted in the military all of a sudden last month.

Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen’s lawsuit

Besides Kai, members Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen are also going to be a part of the group’s album despite their ongoing issues with SM Entertainment. The three members had opted for termination of their contract with the company. Responding to it, the agency suspected a third party behind their decision. In a statement, they dismissed the claims of members and the basis of their contract termination.

While Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen have taken the legal route against SM, they had previously assured fans that they will be working together and will remain a part of EXO, even if not with SM Entertainment. In their statements, they had said, “We would never betray [the EXO] members and will prioritize EXO in any situation.”
