EXO's Suho and Chanyeol made a much-anticipated return on tvN's 'Amazing Saturday' after two and a half years, bringing with them some unexpected revelations.
During the episode aired on the 24th, Suho and Chanyeol appeared in their debut song 'Growl' outfits, expressing their desire to stay true to their roots. Suho shared his mixed emotions about the comeback, saying, "I'm excited and nervous. It's a whirlwind of emotions." Chanyeol added, "Being together brings back old memories, and it's joyful and fulfilling."
Suho revealed changes within the group during the preparation for their comeback. He mentioned, "There were countless conflicts while preparing for this album. The decision-making process has changed; previously, if even one member disagreed, we wouldn't proceed. Now, we go by majority vote."
Girls' Generation's Taeyeon empathized, saying, "There were many opinions. Achieving unanimity would make a comeback impossible." Block B's P.O also understood the challenges, noting, "Enthusiasm can sometimes get ahead of us."
Suho humorously pointed out MC Boom, saying, "There's someone on 'Amazing Saturday' who left me slightly disappointed." He recounted how Boom invited him to his wedding on the show, but when Suho went to collect the invitation, it was no longer available.
Boom explained, "People around me insisted on Suho attending, and I didn't want to pressure him." Suho countered, "Boom personally invited me, but my members questioned why I was invited." Boom humorously responded, "I'll have another wedding and invite only Suho for a reminder ceremony," causing laughter.
Chanyeol shared a nostalgic moment, revealing that he and P.O attended the same acting academy during middle school. P.O reminisced about their time together, saying, "Chanyeol was handsome and got scouted by SM after winning a school uniform contest, while I just went to high school. Seeing his success was fascinating."
Chanyeol recalled, "But P.O debuted first with Block B. When EXO received the rookie award, I saw P.O in the celebrity section, and it was heartwarming."
Meanwhile, Shin Dong-yup was surprised by the mention of a 'Amazing Saturday' group chat, exclaiming, "We have a group chat?" Taeyeon jokingly scolded Kim Dong-hyun for not inviting her, to which he confessed, "I didn't know either," bringing laughter to the set.
