SEOUL, June 12 (Yonhap) – K-pop boy group EXO will release its seventh full-length album "EXIST" on July 10, its agency SM Entertainment said on Monday.

 

This album is the first time in about two years and a month since the special album "DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING" released in 2021, and about three years and eight months after the sixth full-length album "OBSESSION"

 

Prior to the album's release, the music and music video of the pre-released song "Let Me In" will be released on various music platforms and YouTube at 6 p.m. on Monday.

 

The new song "Let Me In" is a ballad song that combines dreamlike sound and vocal that expresses restrained emotions. It has been unveiled for the first time on the stage of EXO's 11th anniversary fan meeting in April this year, drawing attention.

 

EXO, who debuted in 2012, is a group that has become very popular in Korea, China, and Japan with hit songs such as "Growl" and "Overdose."

 

Expectations have been high this year, signaling a comeback as a whole group with its seventh full-length album after a long time, but it suffered ups and downs due to member Kai's sudden enlistment last month and some members filing antitrust complaint against the agency.

 

However, EXO is known to have prepared for the comeback as scheduled, including Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen, who are recently in dispute over exclusive contracts, filming new music videos and recording reality programs in Korea.
