EXO has successfully finished its third world tour. From May 27-28, the boy group held "EXO PLANET #3 - The EXO＇rDIUM [dot] -" at the main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil. Actually, the fact that EXO held its concert at the Olympic Stadium means a lot.
Top class k-pop idol groups usually hold their concerts at the Gymnastics Stadium in Olympic Park because it is considered as the biggest indoor concert hall in Korea. The Gymnastics Stadium can accommodate 10,000 to 15,000 audiences. But, the main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil is bigger than that. it can accommodate 35,000 audiences, while legendary domestic and foreign musicians such as Cho Yong Pil, Lee Seung Hwan, Lee Seung Chul, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Elton John and Paul McCartney held their concerts there. Among k-pop idol groups, H.O.T and god, icons of the era performed at the main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil.
So, by holding its concert at the main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil, EXO proved that the group is the icon of the era who can rank with legendary musicians I mentioned above.
EXO's concert was great. EXO performed a total of 31 songs including its hits such as "Growl", "Overdose", "Love Me Right", "Monster" and "Call me baby". Even though they performed for about 3 hours, their performance was energetic, powerful and passionate to the end. Especially, Kai electrified his fans by taking off his shirt and showing off his perfect abs. :)
And EXO gave hints about its upcoming new album too. Check out what Baekhyun talked about their comeback.
We're ready to make a comeback in this summer. You say "Deo Weo(더워, it's hot in Korean)" in summer, right? Yeah, "The War". It's the hint. I'm sorry that we have wrap up our third world tour, but you will be able to see our great stuff soon again. I'm sure you'll be surprised because we'll show a different side of ourselves. You know, we've been active as a innocent and passionate idols for 5 years, but we'll transform into warriors who have strong power of combination.
Before holding the concert, the EXO members held a press conference. Check out what they talked about their world tour too.

I’m sure you’re very curious about k-pop trainee’s daily schedule. Well, it differs from case to case, but let me explain about the general case. If you become a k-pop trainee, you should follow the daily schedule below. 8 a.m. : School attendance As most of k-pop trainees are students, they should go to school in the morning. They try not to skip breakfast if possible because it’s important for them to manage their health. At their school, they take classes just like the other ordinary students, but they usually listen to music during break time to make preparations for their weekly test. They sometimes write song lyrics, while there are also some passionate trainees who practice singing and dancing at their school. 5 p.m. : Go to practicing room After school is over, trainees go to their practicing rooms. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after the
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j
Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it’s difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there’s a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are. Flesh-Colored Microphone You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's
In 2014, EXO's Chinese member Kris filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment, insisting that his exclusive contract with the agency should be nullified. And he finally left the agency, while another Chinese EXO member Luhan also filed a lawsuit against SM in the year. And in 2015, Tao decided to leave the agency too. After filing lawsuits, they said “SM didn't respect us at all. SM has treated us like subjects of control and determined our schedules unilaterally. And we had economic difficulties despite much work.” Well, I think many of k-pop fans may consider unfair contract between SM and the Chinese members as the main reason why the idol singers filed lawsuits. You know, it was not the first time that SM’s idol singer filed a lawsuit against the agency. The former TVXQ members Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong had been in a legal battle with SM for about 3 years, while Hangeng of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SM, insisting that his contract wit
Have you watched “We Got Married”? As you know, the program is about male and female stars who entered their imaginary married life. Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about “We Got Married.” Is WGM Scripted? Before filming the program, the production crew delivers scripts to the cast. However, the scripts of “We Got Married” are totally different from those of dramas or movies. The scripts of “We Got Married” do not have any detailed words. They just include general explanation of situation. For example, “It’s the day you move into your new apartment,” “It’s the day you introduce your wife to your friends,” etc. On the basis of the scripts, the cast prepares for clothes, accessories and more. And during filming the program, the production crew occasionally intervenes in the couple’s dating because the young cast who is unused to a real variety show such as SHINee's Taemin and APink's Naeun needs
