Since the music video released for their title track “Don’t fight the feeling,” fans have been tweeting their reactions. Once again, causing “Yixing” to trend on Twitter.

With it being about five years since an official comeback with Lay, we cannot help but become emotional. There is nothing else like listening to the songs and hearing all of the members’ voices come together once again.

While Lay has technically made a return to EXO, one of his largest Chinese fanbases Zhang Yixing Bar (also known as XingPark) released a statement, he would be unable to return to Korea for any promotions.

Given the current situation with the pandemic, he will not be able to go to Korea during the comeback period.
