'2025 Melon Music Awards' EXO DIO flawlessly delivered EXO's hit songs live.
On the 20th at Gocheok Sky Dome, the '2025 Melon Music Awards' (wavve, Melon) ceremony was held. That day EXO returned to MMA after eight years, drawing much attention, and with the release of their eighth album there was also anticipation about a new song announcement.
EXO DIO was reported to have chosen EXO's schedule when it conflicted with close friend Kim Woo-bin's wedding. However, DIO, who participated in the MMA red carpet held around 5 p.m., immediately headed to Kim Woo-bin and Shin Mina's wedding venue. Although it was in the same Seoul, it was a distance that could take about two hours round trip, and DIO's refusal to forget either loyalty or friendship drew admiration.
Also, DIO returned to EXO's stage in about three and a half hours. EXO performed many of their hit songs such as Wolf and Beauty, Love Shot, Growl, and The Eve, delivering all the songs live and having a dance break time. Even with the brutal schedule of the red carpet, attending the wedding, and returning to the stage, DIO perfectly handled his deep, rich tone along with breathy dancing.
