It seems they are still close.
ESO‘S Position he has not promoted with the group since 2017, but has remained part of the team. Even if he’s gone SM Funhe remains close to the members, even sending them to serve in the military.
In an extremely rare public moment, Dry and Lay interacted during a live stream. Suho hosted a stream when Lay tuned in. Suho then saw Lay enter and greeted him, doing EXO’s signature greeting.

Although Lay has stopped promoting as part of the group, he still manages to remain close to the members. He also occasionally appears via videos or calls at fanmeetings and the like. It seems like EXO’s bond is still strong even in 2024!
