It seems that the much awaited EXO and Yoo Jae Suk collaboration is cancelled as it has been a week since EXO released its album and no news about the joint performance of the top Korean celebrities.
Apparently, the collaboration may not happen anytime soon. There is a conflict on the celebrities' schedules as both are busy. Idols are busiest during their promotions because of packed schedule with music shows, CFs, and other performances.
Meanwhile, Nation's MC Yoo Jae Suk is hosting five shows, including Infinite Challenge, Running Man, Happy Together, Same Bed, Different Dreams, and Two Yoo Project Sugar Man. Thus, it is hard to find time together just in time for EXO's comeback.
However, in a press conference for EXO's newest album EX'ACT, EXO revealed that the collaboration is still on. According to EXO member Baekhyun, "We're currently planning the collaboration. We have a song ready. We want to do a performance with a song that's new and different from our songs. The song is really good. It's better than our song. I wanted to ask if we could use it as our title track instead."
He added, "Yoo Jae Suk sunbaenim is very busy so we're just preparing among ourselves right now. We're just having fun preparing it together."
Yoo Jae Suk was nominated by fellow Kwang Hee in February to perform with South Korea's top male group, EXO.
