SM Entertainment continued to hint at EXO‘s possible comeback with a new mysterious teaser video, but this time around, the video featured EXO-M’s youngest member, Tao.
The 10-member idol boy group is expected to make a triumphant return to the Korean music scene on 30th March. SM Entertainment featured Tao in the 2nd teaser video, which is a follow-up to the 1st teaser video that featured Kai. The teaser videos helped build anticipation for their comeback as it featured the members’ fictional superpowers concept, which was last seen in the music video for “MAMA“.
Titled “Pathcode #Tao”, the video showed Tao enjoying a cup of coffee in a coffee shop before being interrupted by an unseen force. Tao then grew suspicious of his surroundings and stopped the time by using his time control power (which is fictional, of course). The time then worked normally again after he left the coffee shop in a hurry.
A new hint was then posted on a new Twitter account, which was specially created for their promotional website:
I believe you have figured out the hint. The next hint will be sent at 05:12 PM of a certain city.

Fans with access to the website will be able to check out Tao’s comeback concept photos, which can be seen below:
Back in 2014, EXO was rumoured to make a comeback on 25th Oct, but the plan eventually fell apart due to Luhan‘s lawsuit against the company. Korean media outlet Sports Donga then exclusively reported that they are set to make a comeback in January 2015. Before speculations ran wild, EXO officially announced their comeback through their performance at 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). At that time, no details regarding the comeback were announced.
During an interview with CCTV‘s Spring Festival in 2015, Lay of EXO-M confirmed that they will be making their comeback in March. It would mark EXO’s first comeback in 10 months after the release of their 2nd mini album “Overdose”. It is also EXO’s first comeback without the 2 of its original members so fans are curious to find out what they have prepared.

UPDATE (20th March, 8:25AM):
Yet another teaser video has been released!
SM Entertainment surprised its fans by releasing a new teaser video featuring EXO-K’s Chanyeol.
The company elevated fans’ excitement by giving them the next hint that only includes the word “Vereisung”:
Hint: Vereisung

The word “Vereisung” is the passcode of the promotional website. A quick Google search of the word “Vereisung” showed that it is a German word. When it’s translated into English, it means “freezing”. While it’s not verified, fans are suspecting that the next member to be featured in the teaser video is Xiumin due to his freezing ability.
