EXO is officially gearing up for their long-awaited return.
On December 15, SM Entertainment confirmed that the group will release their eighth full-length album, REVERXE, on January 19, 2026 at 6 PM KST. The announcement was shared across EXO’s official platforms and immediately sparked major excitement among fans worldwide.
REVERXE marks EXO’s first studio album in over two and a half years, following the group’s 2023 release EXIST, which achieved million-seller status and reaffirmed EXO’s enduring global popularity. With this upcoming release, the group opens a new chapter in their discography while continuing their legacy as one of K-pop’s most influential acts.
According to SM Entertainment, the album will feature nine tracks, showcasing a refined musical direction that reflects both EXO’s experience and evolution as artists. Anticipation has been steadily building since members first hinted at new music earlier this year.
Adding to the excitement, EXO previously unveiled a live performance of the winter-themed track “I’m Home” during their year-end fan meeting “EXO’verse” at Inspire Arena in Incheon. The performance offered fans an early glimpse into the group’s upcoming musical atmosphere.
Pre-orders for REVERXE officially opened on December 15, with multiple physical versions available through global retailers. Full details regarding album versions and benefits have been released through official distribution channels.
The first teaser content for REVERXE has also been revealed. The official video, released via EXO’s verified YouTube channel, is embedded above, signaling the start of a full-scale comeback rollout that will include additional teasers, concept images, and music video previews in the coming weeks.
With a clearly structured release schedule and strong early engagement, REVERXE is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched K-pop releases of early 2026 — further cementing EXO’s position as a defining force in the global music industry.
