"We are one! Hello, we are EXO!"
A phrase the members have said countless times, but ironically, being "one" as a group has become quite difficult these days…
🛰 Overview
EXO is a legendary 9-member boy group that debuted on April 8, 2012, under SM Entertainment.
With their superpower concept, explosive performances, iconic vocals, and a record-breaking million-seller streak, they took the K-pop world by storm.
EXO debuted with the “alien idol” concept, bringing an out-of-this-world aura to K-pop fans.
However, over time, they’ve experienced more military enlistments and contract disputes than actual supernatural powers. 🫠
