EXO’s Method for Keeping Visuals Fresh Ignites Huge Reaction

EXO is showing no signs of aging 14 years after debut – and fans want to know how they keep their flawless looks.

The group recently held a comeback showcase for their 8th full album REVERXE at Kyung Hee University. Fans and netizens were shocked by how fresh and young EXO looked despite their long career.

A post on an online community went viral, racking up nearly 60,000 views with a revealing reason for EXO’s youthful visuals.

> The reason EXO can maintain their visuals even after 14 years is that each member consistently checks the others’ faces, and if they sense even a slight dip in form, they worry, lose weight, and get back into shape. They are thankful when they succeed in maintaining their visuals. It’s so funny how the whole group is a bunch of visual directors.

엑소 데뷔 14년차에도 얼굴 유지하는 이유가 각자 멤버들 얼굴 꾸준히 확인 하면서 약간 폼 떨어졌다 싶으면 걱정하고 다시 살 빼서 코쪼 성공하면 감사해하면서 단체 얼굴 수준 유지시키기라니 아 웃겨 내 엑소가 단체 코쪼디렉터라니

Kai confirmed their strict self-monitoring in a recent Bubble message, joking about how the members kept each other in check after military service.

> They already take care of themselves well, but they also watch out for each other. When Sehun and Kai came back from the military and bulked up, Chanyeol joked, ‘I don’t think you can do EXO with us? Can you do it?’ but they all came back losing weight.
