SAEDNEWS: Sehun of EXO has officially completed his military service, marking the end of EXO’s “military enlistment era” as the group prepares for a full comeback later this year.
On September 20, 2025, EXO’s Sehun was officially discharged from military service, bringing an end to the group’s years-long “military enlistment era.” Sehun had enlisted in December 2023 as a social service worker. His return marks a pivotal moment for fans who have awaited the group’s full comeback.
To celebrate the occasion, Sehun shared an update on his Instagram story, featuring a cute photo of his dog Vivi and an image from inside a recording studio — hinting that the K-pop star may already be working on new music.
EXO is currently planning a group comeback in December 2025, reuniting Suho, Chanyeol, Kai, Sehun, and the rest of the members. To mark Sehun’s return, the group will host a special livestream on September 21 at 8 PM KST, where fans can reconnect with Suho, Chanyeol, Kai, and Sehun.
The military hiatus has been a challenging period for the group and fans alike, but now all members are free to focus entirely on music, promotions, and reconnecting with their global fanbase.
EXO’s enlistment era began years ago as members gradually fulfilled mandatory military service. With Sehun’s discharge, the full lineup is now back together — a moment fans have been eagerly anticipating. Social media is buzzing with excitement as supporters share messages of love, excitement, and anticipation for the group’s upcoming releases.
Sehun’s studio photos, alongside his reunion with fellow EXO members during the livestream, underscore that the group is ready to make a strong return to the stage and charts.
