EXO Kai draws attention by mentioning the number of members directly on broadcast.

Kai revealed the current number of EXO members on SBS's 'Anyway, But Really' (hereinafter 'Ageunjin') aired on the 27th. The scene in which the current number of members was officially mentioned became a hot topic in online communities after the broadcast.

Lee Sang-min mentioned EXO's world tour, saying, "Kai, aren't you holding a concert starting in April? We'll go as guests."

Kai refused to have the 'Ageunjin' members participate as guests, saying, "The venue is a secret. I think the concert will be canceled."

Tak Jae-hoon and Lee Sang-min strongly appealed, saying, "Let's owe you one," and "Just close your eyes for a moment," but Kai made them laugh by saying, "I'll just say one thing. I'm also about to enter contract renewal season," and "I might not be Kai anymore, but 'Keoi.'"

In response, Tak Jae-hoon asked, "How many EXO members are there besides you? Isn't it enough to just persuade the members?" and Kai drew attention by accurately revealing the number of members, saying, "There are 5 now."

Netizens reacted with comments such as "EXO's official statement is out," "They said there are 6 members, so 6 must be right," and "This is refreshing."

EXO debuted as a 12-member group on April 12, 2012 and received much love, but the number of members changed as several members left over time.

Meanwhile, EXO held the concert 'EXO PLANET #6 - EXO-RIZE IN SEOUL' at KSPO Dome (formerly the Gymnastics Arena) in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul from the 10th to the 12th. The three-day concert recorded sold-out seats for all shows, including restricted-view seats, drawing more than 32,000 audience members.

EXO is set to embark on a concert tour across 14 regions around the world, including Seoul, and meet global fans.
