A. No. Everything is a prediction/estimate. Please await an official announcement from SM Entertainment.

Q. Is the North America tour confirmed?

A. No. However, given the success of the 2026 Asia tour and the scale of EXO's international fan base, a North American expansion is considered likely.

Q. Is there any information about a European tour?

A. There is no official announcement. However, based on the trend of K-POP's international expansion, there is every reason to believe a tour covering London, Paris, and Berlin is being considered.

Q. Can he balance a solo tour with EXO group activities?

A. Yes, it's possible. Members regularly carry out both individual tours and group activities in parallel, so a similar pattern is expected. However, scheduling will be complex.

A. Please follow these guidelines:

  1. Official channels only: Use Ticketmaster USA / country-specific versions only
