We prove exact controllability in the energy space of semilinear wave equations with $L_2$-Neumann boundary controls. The present proof integrates a double compactness/uniqueness PDE-based argument in establishing the uniform continuous observability inequality of the linearized, dual, uncontrolled problem with the abstract operator-theoretic approach proposed in [11], [21]. The latter approach analyzes suitable families of collectively compact operators [1] and ultimately culminates with the application of a global inversion theorem (homeomorphism) [4], [17] to the original controlled semilinear problem.
