On the 20th, the '2025 Melon Music Awards' was held at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. On this day, EXO took the stage as a complete group with Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun for the first time in six years. EXO received enthusiastic responses from fans by performing a medley of hit songs starting with the intro of "Wolf and Beauty," followed by "Monster," "The Eve," and "Love Shot." Notably, EXO's appearance at the MMA was their first in eight years, raising great expectations for their full-group activities.

D.O. (real name Do Kyung-soo) attended the Melon Music Awards red carpet and then made a surprise appearance at the wedding of his close friends Kim Woo-bin and Shin Min-a. Before attending the wedding, Do Kyung-soo expressed regret over not being able to sing a congratulatory song, stating, "EXO comes first." However, he arrived at the Shilla Hotel at 6:15 PM, attended the wedding for about 15 minutes, and then returned to the Melon Music Awards.

Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin are a long-lasting celebrity couple who have been publicly dating for 10 years. Many famous figures, including BTS's V, producer Na Young-seok, director Choi Dong-hoon, and writer Kim Eun-sook, attended the wedding. Before their marriage, the couple donated a total of 300 million KRW to various organizations such as the Hallim Cancer Foundation, Asan Medical Center, and Good Friends. Shin Min-a has contributed 4 billion KRW over the past 15 years, and Kim Woo-bin has donated 1.1 billion KRW, making significant social contributions.

Do Kyung-soo, who attended the wedding, returned to the event after briefly greeting Kim Woo-bin to honor their friendship. EXO's performance that day deeply moved fans, and during the "Growl" stage, the fans' cheering filled the Gocheok Dome.

The '2025 Melon Music Awards' featured various artists including G-Dragon, Jay Park, 10CM, Zico, WOODS, Jennie, aespa, and IVE. EXO premiered the stage for "Back It Up," a track from their upcoming 8th studio album set to be released next year, gathering fans' anticipation.

Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin met during a commercial shoot in 2014 and developed a romantic relationship, publicly dating since 2015. Even after Kim Woo-bin was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, Shin Min-a stayed by his side, strengthening their bond. The two appeared together in the 2022 tvN drama "Our Blues" and showcased their affection through public dates.

This wedding and the Melon Music Awards became major topics in the entertainment industry, attracting attention from fans and the public. Do Kyung-soo's attendance at the wedding and EXO's performance became memorable moments for many.
