According to media outlet reports on March 13 KST, EXO member and solo artist Xiumin may not be appearing on any of the three major broadcasting station music programs for his solo comeback.

Industry insiders noted on this day that Xiumin's label ONE HUNDRED has not received a response from KBS2's 'Music Bank' on whether Xiumin would be included in this week's lineup. Typically, the latest that agencies can negotiate music program appearance schedules is 2~3 days before the scheduled filming. Therefore, Xiumin will likely not appear on this week's 'Music Bank', scheduled to air on March 14. 

Additionally, sources say that Xiumin's side has requested a pre-recording time slot for MBC's 'Show! Music Core' on the morning of Saturday, March 15 KST. 'Show! Music Core' will not air this weekend due to a baseball match, so if Xiumin is allotted a pre-recording slot, he would appear on next week's episode. However, it is speculated that all pre-recording slots for Saturday morning are filled, making it difficult for 'Music Core' to make adjustments for Xiumin. The idol cannot schedule his pre-recording for any later either due to a comeback fan meeting scheduled later that afternoon at 3:30 PM KST at Yonsei University's Centennial Hall.

As for SBS, ONE HUNDRED and affiliated Big Planet Made artists have not appeared on 'Inkigayo' since November of last year. According to fans, ONE HUNDRED began "boycotting" the SBS music program after the show did not include a teaser for Baekhyun's comeback in September. 

Currently, Xiumin is not listed as a performing artist for this week's 'M! Countdown' airing on March 13 either. It is unclear if he plans to secure an appearance slot on the Mnet program next week. 

Meanwhile, Xiumin released his 2nd solo mini album 'Interview X' on March 10 KST, along with his title track "WHEE!".
