EXO is a widely successful South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2011. They debuted in 2012 and have been captivating fans ever since.

The group originally consisted of twelve members separated into two sub-groups: EXO-K, which focused on Korean content, and EXO-M, which focused on Mandarin content.

However, after a few years, three members left the group, and EXO has since continued to promote as a nine-member group.

EXO has won numerous awards throughout their career, including Disk Daesangs (the highest honour at South Korean music award shows) and Album of the Year awards.

They are one of the best-selling K-pop artists of all time, having sold over 10 million albums cumulatively.
