EXO's Lay will not participate in the fan meeting. Today (14th), the agency SM Entertainment announced, 'To the fans who have been waiting for EXO's fan meeting, we would like to inform you that due to unavoidable circumstances, unfortunately, member Lay will be absent from the fan meeting.' They continued, 'We apologize for the sudden change in participating members and ask for your understanding, as we have informed the fans who have waited and supported us for a long time.' They added, 'Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun will participate as scheduled.' As a result, if fans wish to cancel their ticket reservations, they will be fully refunded without any fees. Lay, who has been focusing on local activities in China, was expected to participate in EXO's group activities for the first time in a while at this fan meeting, which had raised fans' expectations. Fans expressed confusion upon receiving the sudden notice of his absence on the day of the performance, especially since he had participated normally in the rehearsal for the recently held fan meeting. EXO's fan meeting 'EXO'verse' will be held today at 2 PM and 7 PM at Incheon Inspire Arena, attracting attention as it is their first performance in about 1 year and 8 months.
