Top Tier 3rd Gen Boy Group Allegedly Spotted With Former Members

EXO sparks buzz after reports of members dining together amid ongoing tensions.

The controversy began when fans shared posts claiming that D.O., Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Chen were spotted eating together at a Seoul restaurant. This sighting grabbed attention because Baekhyun and Chen are often seen by some fans as having “left” the group amid the conflict between EXO-CBX and SM Entertainment.

Fans quickly reacted to the news, especially since the encounter wasn’t witnessed firsthand but came from the restaurant owner, who reportedly confirmed the gathering.

“Seeing all these posts that are taking things out of context and fans arguing with each other makes me feel helpless. They actually keep in touch with each other! In January, I went to a restaurant in Seoul. The boss knew we were EXO-Ls and used a translation app to tell us four members already made a reservation for the following month. My friend went to the same restaurant in February and confirmed they went.
Perhaps everything will get better after the legal process ends. No matter how many members there are, we shouldn’t be doubting their relationship.
The members were D.O., Baekhyun, Channel, and Chen. I hope this made some fans feel better~ Everyone needs to be happy while stanning idols.”

The story didn’t end there. Another fan who visited the same restaurant in February also claimed to have received confirmation from the owner that the members showed up.

“It was the 92-line. I’m the friend who went in February. The boss was really friendly. He was afraid we wouldn’t understand what he was saying so he typed a long message using gpt to translate for me and my friend. He confirmed the four of them went.”

As the situation unfolded, fans are holding onto hope that despite legal disputes and contract issues, the bond between EXO members remains intact. While the sighting remains unverified, it has struck an emotional chord with the fandom amid ongoing conflicts.
