EXO member Lay was in an accident on the set for Chinese web drama “Old Nine Gates,” where he sustained a back injury on 30th January. Although the injury was deemed noncritical, Lay has been taking time off to improve his health condition following doctor’s order.
The situation has led to speculations from Malaysian fans on whether he will be absent from the upcoming concert which set to take place on 12th March in Malaysia.
Today, concert organiser Star Planet issued a press statement to clarify that they have not received any notification about Lay’s absence from the upcoming event, which confirmed that EXO will arrive in Kuala Lumpur as planned, with all 9 members.
The stage setup kick-started last night with large containers flown in from abroad. As described by the organiser, production is “epic”, with elements such as gigantic high-definition screens, state-of-the-art audio and visual, pyro, hydraulic lifts, mini water pools, and stage extended well into the audience.
The total production moved on more than 30 trucks with about 300 crew.
EXO debuted in 2012 and rose to fame with the release of their million seller regular album XOXO (2013). Ever since their debut, numerous hits were produced such as “Wolf”, “Growl”, “Overdose”, and “Call Me Baby”. Furthermore, EXO is setting new records in worldwide scale, receiving large number of awards in Korea and China, nominated as Top 1 in K-Pop by American Billboard in 2013, biggest influence in Korea by Forbes Korea Power Celebrity in 2014 and so on.
