EXO have made their long-awaited comeback after a year and a half with “Don’t Fight the Feeling” on Jun. 7th. The mini-album, which is being marketed as a special release, is EXO’s newest content since their studio album “Obsession” in 2019. It also marks the first comeback for members Xiumin, Lay, and D.O since “Don’t Mess Up My Tempo” in 2018, and the final release from members ChanYeol and BaekHyun before they enlisted for mandatory military service in May 2021. SuHo and Chen were not able to participate in this promotion as they are currently serving in the military.
