EXO’s Xiumin recently celebrated his special day with fans in a truly unforgettable way. On March 21, 2026, the beloved idol hosted his ‘2026 XIUMIN BIRTHDAY FANMEETING [XIUMIN’s Voyage Crew – Join now!]’ at XSCALA in Seoul.
However, the joyous occasion arrives against the backdrop of an ongoing financial controversy involving his entertainment agency, INB100.
Setting Sail with Xiumin
The birthday fan event utilized an incredible immersive maritime storytelling theme. Fans were thrilled to participate in highly interactive segments designed to bring them closer to the star.
These engaging activities included:
- The ‘Captain Ability Test’
- The ‘1st Mate Selection’
- An intimate ‘Campfire’ Q&A session
Throughout the night, Xiumin showcased his remarkable vocal talents with a series of beautiful musical performances. The setlist treated fans to stellar renditions of tracks like ‘Fireflies’, ‘Make You LaLa’, ‘Dandelion’, and ‘Love is U’. It was a spectacular showcase of his enduring charm and immense gratitude toward his supporters.
INB100 Faces Payment Allegations
Despite the overwhelming success of the fan meeting, dark clouds are gathering over Xiumin’s agency. INB100 is currently facing serious public allegations from a video production company known as 815 VIDEO. This dispute centers around delayed and unpaid production fees.
According to 815 VIDEO, INB100 has failed to settle an outstanding balance of 65.96 million KRW. This unpaid sum stems from a larger 82.46 million KRW project that was originally produced in August 2025. With the production company now threatening legal action, the K-pop industry is watching closely to see how the agency responds.

It is always incredible to see artists like Xiumin go above and beyond for their fans with such creative events.
