EXO member Xiumin successfully completed his fan meeting "Shuming Navigation Team."

According to INB100 on the 22nd, Xiumin held "2026 XIUMIN BIRTHDAY FANMEETING (2026 Xiumin's birthday fan meeting)" twice at XSCA (Xcala) in Seoul on the 21st and had a meaningful time with fans.

This fan meeting was organized under the concept of "Vessel", and was held in an immersive storytelling format in which Xiumin became a "captain" and fans became "crew" and traveled together. The performance opened a fantastic atmosphere with the stage of "Fireflies."

At the launch ceremony of the Navigation Team, which announced the start of the full-fledged voyage, the team took an oath with fans to further enhance the bond of the site, and at the "Captain's User's Manual" section, Xiumin's daily life and taste were honestly revealed, showing his friendly charm.

Then, in the first Irish "Captain Ability Test," he gave a pleasant laugh by challenging various games such as balance games, RC car missions, and luck tests. In the second Irish 'No. 1 Navigator Contest', he breathed directly with fans through the OX quiz, adding to the fun of the participatory event.

In particular, in the third Irish "Senior Party, Crew's Choice" section, he showed a challenge stage selected through early voting, drawing enthusiastic responses from fans, and in the last Irish "Campfire, Ask Captain," he had a time to answer fans' questions honestly and had a deep communication.

At the end of the performance, a photo time and a celebration event with a birthday cake were held, and Xiumin said, "Thank you so much for your short trip today."

At the fan meeting, Xiumin performed "Make You LaLa," "Dandelion," and "Love is U."

Earlier, video production company 815 VIDEO said in its official position on the 19th, "We performed the production of one main music video and one teaser video at the request of INB100 in August 2025, and the project was completed normally according to the contract signed between the two companies," adding, "The total service fee is 82.46 million won, of which 16.5 million won has been received in advance, but the balance of 65.96 million won has not been paid until now since the completion of the project."

"We have requested balance payments several times since the payment deadline and demanded official confirmation at the company level, but we have not received a clear answer or detailed payment schedule since the resignation of the person in charge," he said. "The music video has already been released on the official channel and is being used for the artist's music activities, and we deeply regret that the fair payment has not been paid for a long time despite faithfully fulfilling all production obligations under the contract."

"We have been in talks for a sufficient period of time for a smooth settlement, and if the outstanding balance is not paid as soon as possible, we will have no choice but to review all necessary measures to protect our rights under the contract," 815 VIDEO added.
