✨ EXO Shines at MMA 2025 - Even With Fewer Members! ✨
On 20th December at the Melon Music Awards 2025, EXO reminded us all why they’re K-pop legends. 🌟 Performing live with five members - Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai and Sehun - they delivered a medley of hits: Love Shot, Obsession and their brand-new track “Back It Up”. 🎶
Even without the full nine-member lineup (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin and Lay weren’t on stage due to contract situatios and scheduling), EXO’s energy, teamwork and flawless synchronization made it feel like the whole group was there. 💪✨ Five members, but energy for ten - EXO really teaches us math isn’t everything 😎💥
