We Are One EXO #SOUSBIO

EXO 
WE ARE ONE EXO SARANGHAJA

south Korean K-pop boy band EXO perform melodic, dance-oriented pop music influenced by hip-hop and R&B. Formed in 2011 by S.M. Entertainment producer Lee Soo-Man, the band originally consisted of 12 members divided into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M. Although they record the same music, EXO-K focus on playing in South Korea and feature the members Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun. Meanwhile, EXO-M specialize in performing in China for a largely Mandarin-speaking audience and feature Xiumin, Lay, and Chen (with founding members Luhan, Kris, and Tao departing in 2014 and 2015). The group's first official subgroup, EXO-CBX, was formed in 2016 by the trio of Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin. 
   

The ten-piece continued, issuing Exodus in 2015. The award-winning album topped the charts in Korea and the U.S., while also entering the Canadian charts, the first K-pop group to do so. Around this time, Tao became the third member to part with EXO. The group continued its Exodus promotion and released its first Japanese single, a re-recorded version of "Love Me Right" and the Japanese original "Drop That." Before the end of the year, EXO released their fourth EP, Sing for You. They extended album promotion to North America, with a brief tour of the U.S. and Canada in February 2016. EX'ACT, their third full-length, arrived that summer, with their fifth EP, For Life, released in December. The War, EXO's fourth LP, was released in the summer of 2017, topping Korean and U.S. World Albums charts once again.

The group made its Japan debut in early 2018 with Countdown, comprising previously released tracks and new songs like "Electric Kiss." A month later, EXO performed at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang. By year's end, the group scored its first hit on the U.S. charts, as fifth album Don't Mess Up My Tempodebuted just outside the Top 20 on the Billboard 200.
