Get to know the various solo albums by EXO’s members

EXO fans chasing extra music after the group’s main catalog have plenty of options in the solo releases from its members. The band has shifted into a six-member active lineup for its 2026 projects, giving those artists room to balance solo work with group promotions. The remaining members completed mandatory service years ago, clearing the way for fresh material and coordinated comebacks. This updated overview lists the current solo output from the active roster and the members who stepped away from group schedules.

Note: Only current and active members appear on this list, reflecting the 2026 six-member configuration.

Group Context and Current Lineup

Six members—Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, Sehun, and Lay—form the active unit handling the January 2026 album Reverxe and related schedules. Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin remain separate from these activities following ongoing contract disputes. The streamlined roster lets the six focus on both group and individual releases without the earlier interruptions from staggered military terms.

D.O. Solo Career

D.O. released the mini album Expectation and has continued to record outside the group. His vocal-focused projects sit alongside his role in the six-member promotions, giving listeners a separate catalog that highlights his ballad style and acting-adjacent releases. He remains fully engaged in the 2026 group calendar.

Suho Solo Career

Suho issued the project Grey Suit and additional solo tracks that showcase his songwriting and stage direction. As leader of the active six, he balances these releases with group coordination and has kept a steady solo presence since his earlier mini albums.

Military Service Completion and Post-Service Activities

Kai finished service in February 2025 and Sehun followed in September 2025, with the rest of the members discharged earlier. The completed timelines allowed the full active lineup to schedule solo EPs, tours, and the 2026 group album without further delays.

Baekhyun

Baekhyun expanded his catalog well beyond the early mini albums. Hello, World arrived as his fourth mini album in September 2024, followed by Essence of Reverie in May 2025. Both projects joined his earlier work as million-sellers, reinforcing his standing among top-selling soloists. His most-streamed tracks still include “Candy,” “UN Village,” and “For You,” while newer singles from the recent minis have climbed the charts in their first weeks.

Chanyeol

Chanyeol moved from soundtrack singles to full solo projects with Black Out in August 2024. Upside Down followed in August 2025, and the Japanese mini album Hibi arrived in October 2025. Each release mixes rap verses with melodic hooks and includes multiple versions for different markets. “Stay With Me” retains strong streaming numbers, yet the newer title tracks now compete for top placement on his artist page.

Kai

Kai built a consistent solo run after his initial features. The self-titled EP KAI appeared in 2020, Peaches followed in 2021, Rover arrived in 2023, and Wait On Me landed in 2025. After his February 2025 discharge he launched supporting tours and live stages for the later releases. Two early tracks still sit on EXO live albums, yet the four dedicated EPs form the core of his independent discography.

Sehun

Sehun’s solo credits remain limited. “We Young,” recorded with Chanyeol, still circulates in Korean, Chinese, and instrumental versions, while “Beat Maker” traces back to an EXO live album. Post-discharge in September 2025 he has not issued major new solo material, though future projects stay under discussion within the group’s schedule.
