EXO made a comeback with its new album. On July 18, the boy group released its 4th full album "The War", while the album has a total of 9 songs including the title track "Ko Ko Bop". Well, EXO is now creating a sensation in the world of k-pop, proving again that the team is the no.1 k-pop boy group. A remarkable thing is that EXO has already set various records even though it has been just a day since the boy group's new album was released. So, check out what kinds of records EXO set in a single day.
Ranked no.1 on iTunes' album charts in 41 countries
EXO's new album "The War" was ranked no.1 on iTunes' album charts in 41 countries including Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Czech, Poland, Romania, Russia, Australia, Japan, Thailand, India, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Israel and Ukraine. It is new record for a Korean artist, and EXO proved that the team is a k-pop boy group who is loved by people all over the world. No doubt, EXO is the most influential and popular k-pop boy group now.
Ranked no.1 on all the Korean music charts
EXO's title track "Ko Ko Bop" reached the top of a variety of Korean music charts including Melon, Genie, Naver Music, Bugs Music and Soribada, while EXO's album also topped all the Korean album sales charts such as Hanteo, Synnara Records and Hot Tracks.
In addition, unexpected network errors occurred on biggest Korean music sites such as Melon and Synnara Records after EXO's album was released because there were so many fans who visited the sites to listen to the album and buy the album. There's no other k-pop idol group who has such a great influence with k-pop fans.
Received more than 100 million hearts on live broadcast
On July 18, EXO appeared in V-app's live broadcast. You know, you can give hearts to k-pop idols while watching the live broadcast, and EXO received more than 100 million hearts on its live broadcast. EXO is the only k-pop idol group who can receive so many hearts on V-app's live broadcast.
Not only Korean fans but also a lot of foreign fans watched the broadcast to communicate with EXO, and the fact that EXO received lots of hearts means the boy group is that much popular all over the world and fans around the world have been really looking forward to the group's comeback.
New records to be set soon
But that's not all. It is expected that EXO will set other records soon too. First, EXO had 800,000 copies of its album pre-ordered, and it seems certain that EXO will become a "quadruple million seller" soon by selling more than million copies of its fourth full album. You know, EXO has become a "triple million seller" by selling more than million copies of its first, second and third full albums.
Second, it is expected that EXO, who made a very successful comeback will win the grand prize at the end-of-year music awards 5 years in a row. There's no other Korean singer who has achieved such a thing in the k-pop history, and EXO will make new k-pop history if the group win the grand prize at this year's end-of-year music awards.
Third, it is expected that EXO will break its own record by winning more than 32 trophies of k-pop chart shows. In 2015, EXO won a total of 32 trophies, and nobody broke the record yet. Of course, it's never easy to break such a record, but you know, EXO always achieves more than expected.

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...
Q. You release your solo album. What made you decide to debut as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I think all the idol singers dream of it. As a member of group, it is hard to show my own character. But I can show off my identity as a solo singer. I think BEAST is a very attractive team, and I want to prove that the BEAST members are not only competent as a team but also as solo singers. Q. So, is there any difference between your activity as a member of you team and as a solo singer? Hyunseung: We need to achieve a comprise during our group activity. If I speak up, it makes the other members tired. However, I took part in many things about my solo album. I took part in making costumes, choreography, and teaser video. I think it made our company employees tired.(laugh) So I titled the album "My." Q. What is your goal as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I do not enjoy business. And I do not want to show exaggerated performance. I want to carry weight with a lot of people as a...
BTS' Jin was embroiled in controversy because a king size condom was spotted in the idol group's accommodation. On November 12, Jin uploaded a post on the boy group's blog( http://btsblog.ibighit.com/ ), regarding dishes based on squash, broccoli, mushroom, and beef. Jin stated, "I bought broccoli to remove dark circles under my eyes. And I chose squash to reduce swelling, and I also bought mushroom. Beef is too expensive to eat frequently, but my mom said that I should not save money when I eat something. No meal is quite complete without a cheese. So, I bought cheese too." He showed his cooking process with some pictures. However, one of the pictures became problem because a king size condom was spotted in it. About the issue, the boy group's agency stated, "Yes, it is condom. It's a present to the boy group from a foreign fan." Well, condom is something you need in order to practice safe sex, anyway.
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...
In 2015, Lee Seung Gi and Yoona have broken up after dating for a year and 9 months. I think many kpop fans felt sad about it because the two seemed to be a perfect match. Both Lee Seung Gi and Yoona are well known for their good nature and they're alike in personality, while they'd tried hard to protect each other. The official reason for their breakup was their hectic schedules. However, there was another reason why they should break up. As you may know, for Korean men, the military service is mandatory, while Lee Seung Gi also joined the army in February 2016. I've served in the military too and saw so many soldiers who broke up with their girlfriends in the army. From my own personal experience, more than 70% of soldiers break up with their girlfriends after joining the army. As all the Korean young people know about this, some of them part with their girlfriends just before enlistment even though they’re still in love with girlfriends. They think it is a way of...
