About Exo
EXO, debuted by SM Entertainment in 2012, is one of the leading figures in the K-pop industry. Originally launched as a twelve-member group divided into two subgroups, EXO-K (Korean) and EXO-M (Mandarin), to target both Korean and Chinese markets, they later merged into one. Members such as Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun are known for their harmonious vocals and spectacular stage performances. EXO's music encompasses a wide range of genres, with hits like "Growl" and "Call Me Baby" propelling them to stardom. Their influence extends beyond music into fashion, drama, and more, making them a multi-talented powerhouse in the entertainment world.
