Moreover, fans are grateful that all the nine members of the South Korean boy group will be performing together on stage at the 2016 Asia Music Festival. SM Entertainment, the boy group's agency, confirmed that the EXO member Kai will be performing with the group after completing his months of rehabilitation due to his recent leg injury.
