EXO, known for hit songs like "Ko Ko Bop" and "Love Shot," debuted in 2012 under K-pop powerhouse SM Entertainment. Originally a 12-piece act, the band has been reduced to nine members following the departure of three Chinese members.

The group's remaining Chinese member, Lay, left SM in April 2022 but said in a handwritten letter that "I will always be the Lay when my members need me."
