EXO livestreams without 3 members
EXO took to a livestream Tuesday to celebrate its 13th debut anniversary with fans.
The live chat 'EXO: 13irthday Home Party' lasted for approximately two hours but only featured four of the group's eight members. Sehun said hello to viewers through a speakerphone call but could not join in person, as he is serving his mandatory military duty.
The absence of Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin was not mentioned, however. The three members, now under agency INB100 after leaving SM Entertainment, were not told of the activity, Baekhyun said last week when the event notification was made public.
Suho, D.O., Chanyeol and Kai played games and talked before cutting the cake and wished everyone health and happiness. They are planning to hold a fan meetup when Sehun is discharged in September, leader Suho said before wrapping up the livestream.
