About: The team's name, EXO, got its motif from "exoplanet," which means an extraterrestrial planet outside the solar system, and means "new human beings from the unknown world." Originally, it debuted as a 12-member group of six EXO-K members and six EXO-M members, but three Chinese members of EXO-M became the nine-member group after leaving the group. EXO has rarely performed title songs with overlapping musical styles, and is known as a group that always tries new styles and musical transformations on every album it releases to produce successful results. In Japan, both the first single and full-length albums of the foreign group topped the Oricon weekly chart, setting a new record for the first time in a foreign group. It is also one of the most popular groups, with a pop-up store in Osaka following Shibuya in Japan. Also, EXO's performance at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics was well received by various foreign broadcasting stations. As a result, EXO’s document was the only document related to Korea in the English Wikipedia Reading Rank TOP10.
