In an interview with Yonhap News, EXO’s leader Suho revealed what the group’s reactions were upon hearing news of members leaving.

With the departure of Kris and Luhan, as well as the uncertainty surrounding Tao’s status as an EXO member, the group is currently promoting with only 9 members. To this, Suho revealed, “We thought of each other as family, so members were shocked and had a difficult time. At times, we just gave up and stopped talking to each other.”

Suho continued, “However, we picked ourselves back up and the team spirit is well again. We feel united so everything feels fun.”

Meanwhile, Tao has revealed to have set up his own personal studio for solo activities in China.
