After two years, Korean pop boy band EXO prove they still exist with the launch of their seventh album alongside a music video for their lead single Cream Soda.

Exist is the group’s first record since and the accompanying video features seven members of the boyband, with Kai unable to join due to his military enlistment.

However, he was with them in spirit as the boys made sure to make a nod towards the missing member in the clip, with a placard with his name seen in the video.

Their ninth member Lay was also not featured on Cream Soda nor in Exist as he has largely been on hiatus from the group since 2017. The singer last joined the group in 2021 for Don’t Fight the Feeling.

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment confirmed that all the active members of EXO are working on a new reality show in Korea and that EXO members, Baekhyun, Xiumin and Chen, have resolved their differeces with SM Entertainment over their contracts.
