Looking Back At The Line Distributions For All 9 Tracks On EXO’s “Obsession” Album

With just six of the members contributing, were their lines more even on this album?

EXO‘s most recent album, Obsession, came out on November 27, 2019. With Xiumin and D.O. doing their military service at the time and Lay busy with his own schedule, there were just six members of the group that participated in the album.
