More on these idols:
On the work front, Xiumin hasn't released a solo album since his debut with "Brand New" in 2022. EXO-CBX, the sub-unit he's part of, had been in talks for a 2024 comeback, but due to a contract dispute with SM Entertainment, there's been no confirmation on a new release. In contrast, Chen dropped his fourth mini-album "Door in May", followed by the "Beyond the Door" fan-con tour.
In October, he released "Beyond". Meanwhile, BamBam completed his first-ever solo world tour, "AREA 52", and then followed it up with his comeback album "BAMESIS", released in August. As for B.I, he has been touring globally with his "HYPE UP" world tour.
