2024 lineup

Zaobao reports that despite how fans were excited at the news of the reunion of the members of ‘Energy’ which included Toro and Milk, they were surprised that Xiao Gang was left out of the 2024 comeback lineup.

Reason for leaving Xiao Gang out

According to the same Zaobao report, Xiao Gang was left out of the 2024 comeback lineup because Toro himself decided it would be more appropriate to have a comeback with the original five members of 'Energy'.

Comeback album

Regardless, the reunion of the five members of 'Energy' is greatly welcomed in the C-pop world. Vogue reported that the band had released a new song titled 'Breaking Up Reunite' in January, which is a rather apt title for the band's first reunion in over 15 years.
