SM Entertainment issued a statement saying that EXO will be promoting their next album without Lay. According to the agency, Lay is unable to participate in the promotions due to scheduling conflicts. Lay had to withdraw from EXO's last tour EXO'rDIUM this May for the same reasons.
However, Lay is still considered a member of the group and he'll be featured on EXO's upcoming album and their next music video.
