EXO Returns With Reality Variety Show ‘Travel the World on EXO’s Ladder 5,’ Premiering in March

EXO is set to make its return to reality variety television this March with the fifth season of its long-running series ‘Travel the World on EXO’s Ladder.’ Season 5 will premiere on March 4 at 8 p.m. KST, bringing fans a new travel adventure led by members Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun.

A New Journey Set in Jeju Island

The upcoming season follows the five members as they travel across Jeju Island, one of Korea’s most iconic destinations. As with previous seasons, the trip begins with EXO’s signature team chant, “We Are One,” before the members face the unpredictable ladder game that determines their itinerary.

Producers teased that the rules of the ladder have become even stricter this season, catching the members off guard at times. Despite moments of confusion, the cast is expected to rely on their sharpened variety instincts to overcome missions and unexpected challenges, delivering both humor and chemistry throughout the journey.

A Proven Reality Series Loved by Fans

‘Travel the World on EXO’s Ladder’ first premiered in 2018 and has since become one of EXO’s most beloved reality formats. The show’s defining concept centers on a ladder game that randomly decides travel routes, activities, and missions, creating spontaneous situations that highlight the members’ personalities.

Over the years, the series has taken EXO to various locations, including Japan, Kaohsiung and Kenting in Taiwan, Namhae, and the coastal cities of Geoje and Tongyeong. Each season has offered a mix of scenic travel, unscripted challenges, and candid interactions that fans have come to associate with the group’s off-stage charm.

EXO’s Ongoing Group Activities

Season 5 arrives at a time when EXO continues to balance group activities with individual schedules. The return of the reality series has been met with anticipation, particularly as it showcases a lineup that reflects the group’s current chapter while maintaining the familiar dynamics longtime fans enjoy.

Looking Ahead to the Stage

In addition to the variety show, EXO is preparing to reconnect with fans in person. The group will hold its sixth solo concert tour, ‘EXO PLANET #6 EXO’RIZE,’ from April 10 to 12 at the KSPO DOME in Seoul’s Olympic Park.
