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.

"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...

The location of k-pop idols' dorms Most of k-pop idols live close to their agencies. There are two reasons for it. First, it's important for k-pop idols to live close to their practice rooms because they spend a great deal of time in practicing. Second, from the point of view of k-pop agencies, it's easy for them to manage their idols if idols live close to their agencies. And sometimes, k-pop idols live close to hair shops to handle their time effectively. Here are places where many k-pop idol groups' dorms are located. Gangnam, Cheongdam, nearby Youngdong bridge, nearby Konkuk University, Hapjeong and nearby Hongik University. A notable thing is that most of k-pop agencies don't let their idol groups live close to idol groups of the opposite sex. When do they move? Most of the time, the period of k-pop idols' lease contract is 2 years. So, they usually move out every 2 years. Of course, if they want to move to a very nice house, they should bec...
