EXO's Baekhyun and Xiumin to roll out their own fan community app as Bubble announces the idol's impending account termination

In June 2023, it was revealed that the members belonging to the famous EXO sub-unit, Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen, have extended their careers through their contracts under INB100. While Baekhyun created the label, he soon housed his fellow members, Chen and Xiumin. To date, these three are the only musicians signed to the label.

Given that this avails more opportunities for K-pop idols to freely explore and choose their paths as individual artists despite their contract with SM Entertainment, fans have largely been celebrating the growth of the three EXO members.

However, Dear U. Bubble, a fan community app created by SM Entertainment for fans to communicate with their artists, announced that Baekhyun and Xiumin's accounts will be terminated as of February 29.

This saddened many fans as they thought that communicating with the two EXO members would be difficult hereafter. However, follow-up news on the same revealed that the two members are reported to launch their own fan community application that allows fans to communicate with them, just like Lysn's Dear U. Bubble. While the exact date of release hasn't been revealed yet, the estimated schedule is around March 2024.

The app will be released through Bubble but it won't be released to Lysn, which is a mobile application created exclusively for SM Entertainment and their artists. While Bubble is quite connected to SM Entertainment, they have also showcased collaborative application creations for other artists outside their core agency such as Starship Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and more.

Therefore, it can be anticipated that Baekhyun and Xiumin will be collaborating with Bubble to release a fan community application that's specifically designed for the two EXO members or the artists belonging to their newly launched label, INB100.
