Chen is probably the quietest of them all in 2020 especially after his marriage in January and the born of his first daughter in April 2020. He probably has been enjoying his new role as a happily married man and happy father.
Due to that, Chen was somehow disappearing from the public, only appeared once in a while when he congratulated BoA for her 20th Debut Anniversary and his short video was enough to make him as the trending topic in twitter with hastag #Jongdae. That was a solid proof how fans have been missing him all this time.
One more good news came from Chen, he is also being participating in singing OST from the newest and one of the most highly anticipated SBS’s drama Do You Like Brahms?. Our King of OST is just coming back.
Lay

Lay may have been focusing on his solo activities such as music and acting as well as his US debut in 2018. Nevertheless, he is still part of EXO, though it’s been years he has not been participating in any EXO project.
