Since 2014, EXO has exclusively performed as one group, while continuing to release and perform music in multiple languages. Previously, the band debuted with twelve members separated into two sub-groups: EXO-K (Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun) and EXO-M (Xiumin, Lay, Chen, and former members Kris, Luhan, and Tao). EXO-K and EXO-M performed music in Korean and Mandarin, respectively, until the release of their third EP (Extended Play) ''Overdose'' in 2014. After the departures of Kris, Luhan, and Tao amid legal battles in 2014 and 2015, the band continued with the remaining nine members. Since 2016, Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin have also released music and performed as a sub-unit named EXO-CBX, and members Sehun and Chanyeol have promoted as a sub-unit named EXO-SC since 2019. All of EXO's members also maintain solo careers in fields including music, film, and television.
