Exo are back: K-pop boy band release ‘Don’t Fight The Feeling’ album as Lay, D.O. and Xiumin return
- Exo’s album went on sale on Monday despite band members Suho and Chen being absent as they fulfil their mandatory military service in South Korea
- Lay last appeared on the band’s 2018 album ‘Don’t Mess Up My Tempo’ and has since spent the coronavirus pandemic in China
Exo are back, with something old and something new on their latest album, “Don’t Fight the Feeling”. Out on Monday, the mini-album, or EP, dubbed a “special album”, is fronted by a funky ’90s-feeling dance single, also called Don’t Fight the Feeling.
In it, the popular K-pop group reflect on the emotions of moving forward in the face of change and choices, motivating listeners to move forward with them.
The music video for the song also arrived yesterday, revisiting some elements previously featured in the band’s ongoing sci-fi plotline that rears its head often throughout their music and related content.
The album is “special” for several reasons, most notably because it deviates from Exo’s other releases in that not all of the band’s nine members are featured.
