What 처하자 means

“OOO 처하자” is a meme meaning “let's all get into this together.” The original, EXO fans' 위아원 처하자, means “let's be together” (TenAsia).

Origin

EXO's official slogan 위아원 (WE ARE ONE) plus the awkward-sounding 처하자. One account traces it to a fan's AI-written fanfic and a concert review, but the original post is unconfirmed.

Spread

It showed up in subtitles on EXO's official video after the December 2025 MMA stage (OSEN), and Kai addressed it on the YouTube show 집대성 in January 2026 (MHN, TenAsia).

Usage

Non-fans use it too, with hobbies and obsessions: “다꾸 처하자” (let's do journal decorating), “두쫀쿠 오픈런 처하자” (let's line up for the cookies) (OpenAds).
