Is SMTOWN Hinting At New EXO Sub-Unit Through Remix Teaser?

SMTOWN has released a teaser clip for one of the upcoming “Power” remixes from EXO!

On October 19th KST, the official Twitter account for EXO shared a teaser clip for the remix by R3HAB. Although the image looks like a simple gif, you can hear a preview of the upcoming remix when you click the image.

Fans were quick to notice, however, that there may be further meaning behind the teaser, as well as behind the upcoming remixes. In the post shared on Twitter, EXO included two hashtags that stuck out to fans: #Kai and #Teleportation.

It seems strange that on a teaser video for a remix, EXO would specifically mention Kai in the teaser, especially considering that the teaser had nothing to do with him personally. That thought led some to consider the reasoning behind four remixes being released at the same time. Generally, one remix is normal for a song, so why release four? Is there some hint at the future of EXO’s activities through both the remixes and teaser? Some fans think so!

Fans have long been expecting another sub-unit to be formed of four members. In accordance with VCRs that were played at an EXO concert, it seemed obvious that Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin would be forming a sub-unit— a theory that was later proven as fact when EXO-CBX debuted. In the same concert, it also appeared that a sub-unit of Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun, and Lay would also be formed down the road. With Lay in China and unable to participate with EXO at the moment due to China’s restrictions as a result of THAAD, it seems likely that another member would be part of the sub-unit instead if it does in fact come to fruition as well.

Could it be that the four remixes will reveal four members of a new sub-unit? Will the other three teasers expected tomorrow reveal the other three members of the sub-unit? Is it even hinting at a sub-unit at all or is there perhaps a different meaning behind the brief mention of Kai in the tweet?

Only time will tell, but knowing EXO’s love of mysterious hints and hidden meanings, it seems likely that the mention of Kai wasn’t just a coincidence but something with a purpose. However, that purpose won’t become clear until more teasers are released.

What do you think, EXO-L? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!

In the meantime, check out the teaser clip below, and stay tuned for the release of the remixes on October 20th KST.
