Is EXID making a comeback? Photos of members together in the studio have fans hopeful

Fans joke how EXID's upcoming comeback will be a shock to trolls who said the girl group had disbanded years ago

K-pop girl groups from the second generation have been on a slow fade these last few years, with the once-popular stars gradually receding from fame one hiatus at a time. However, 2022 seems to be the year of the girl groups as one after the other, many second-gen girl groups have announced their comebacks or reunited with their former members, much to the delight of their fans. Over the last year, groups like T-ara, Kara, and Girls' Generation have all announced their comeback albums.

Meanwhile, members of Sistar and 2NE1 shocked fans by reuniting on Instagram - or for performances - over the last few months. Now, another second-gen girl group, EXID, is making the news with a wholesome member reunion. This has fans of the girl group excited as they manifest a new comeback from the group. On August 1, EXID members, namely Solji, LE, Hani, Hyerin, and Jeonghwa reunited for the first time in a while as Hani (aka Ahn Hee-yeon) took to Instagram to share the news with fans.
