EXO's Suho has admitted that he is worried about how the public will welcome his group's upcoming album during a broadcast on V Live+ on Monday, June 6.
"I'm always afraid everytime we make a comeback," he said. "I know there are fans who believe in us and patiently wait for us, but as singers and performers, we feel like we should show something new and different."
Since it has been nearly a year since the group released a full-length album, Suho hinted that fans can expect more extreme concepts and two title tracks for their comeback album.
He expressed worry saying "if it's too different, then people might criticize us and say, 'This isn't EXO's style.' On the other hand, if we keep on releasing only similar [music], then people might think we're just doing the same thing over and over again."
Meanwhile, the group will stage an event to promote the upcoming album on Wednesday, June 8. EXO's third full-length album entitled EX'ACT is set to make its debut on Thursday (June 9) at 12 a.m. KST.
EXO is one of the most popular groups in Asia. Last month, Suho's die-hard fans in the Philippines marked the singer's 26th birthday on May 22 by running an ad on SM Mall of Asia's Globalmaze, the huge globe billboard at the mall's rotunda.
The ad was funded by Suho's PH-based fan groups Myeon and Only PH. The celebration was a first in the Philippines for an EXO member and a second for a K-pop artist, according to the Manila Bulletin.
