K-pop boy group EXO’s ex-members Luhan and Kris will appear in a Chinese television program for the Lunar New Year, according to CCTV on Thursday.

The predominant state television broadcaster in China made public an updated list of artists who will appear in their feature program called “Chinese New Year’s Gala.” The new list includes Kris and Luhan.

Kris and Luhan individually fell out with EXO as each of them filed a complaint against the label SM Entertainment for allegedly discriminating non-Korean members.

Following their fallout, there were rumors that SM attempted to deter the two ex-members from appearing on any stage or TV show.

Kris and Luhan are maintaining their career as pop celebrities in China, while the upcoming New Year’s Gala will be the first time they appear together in the same show since they left EXO.

“Chinese New Year’s Gala” is the most watched show in China during the Lunar New Year holiday, recording over 700 million viewers on the average. This year’s Lunar New Year falls on Feb. 19.
