On May 4, 2019, EXO‘s Xiumin held his first solo fan meet prior to his military enlistment. During the fan meet, he had mentioned how he wished his other EXO members were there to celebrate with him.

Baekhyun and Yixing’s video message for Minseokㅠㅠ
BH: Minseok is my hyung, but 60% of the time he feels like my dongsaeng. He likes cute and small things.
YX: To me, Xiumin is a good hyung. He organizes everything that I can’t. He’s very very detailed.pic.twitter.com/vewp1cVfmm— 연수 (@byunificial) May 4, 2019

After the call, the members each said a word to Xiumin, wishing him good luck now that he’s enlisting to the military and showering him with words love and admiration.
Suho: Minseok (t/n: Xiumin’s real name), I was watching you backstage and I loved seeing how happy you were performing. You’re such a good friend off-stage but a beautiful performer on-stage. We won’t be able to see you for a long time, I hope you can return safely and not get hurt.
Baekhyun: I hope you can return healthy. I love you.
Firstly… Since we were trainees up to now, I always admired you. I’m supposed to make you cry but I think I’m the one who’s gonna cry.
-Kai
Sehun: Same with the other members, we have talked about this before. Above all, I think not getting hurt is what is important. When you return, I hope you can show a cool image for our EXO-Ls.
D.O: Give Minseok-hyung lots of love!
Omg i'm crying 😭😭 #EXO #XiuweetTime #XIUMIN #Minseok please don't go pic.twitter.com/I30GM8Frjt

A few days ago, I had soju with Minseok and told him I love him. We talked a lot, and you worked very hard to prepare for today. Honestly, I’m not worried at all. I know that you’ll do well and return safely.
Xiumin ended his fansign with the boys of EXO, telling everyone how much he loved them and promising to return healthily.
We are One, EXO! We love you!
