The group EXO (EXO, SM Entertainment) is extending its global success through tours and variety shows even after album activities.
EXO has announced its sixth solo concert tour launching anew after about 6 years and 4 months, "EXO PLANET #6 - EXhOrizon" (EXO Planet #6 - EXhOrizon). With the announcement, overwhelming support poured in and performances in Taipei on May 9-10 have been added. With this, they will visit 14 regions worldwide, including Seoul, Ho Chi Minh, Nagoya, Taipei, Bangkok, Macau, Osaka, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Tokyo, Kaohsiung, and Singapore, to meet local fans.
The Seoul performances that open the tour will be held April 10-12 at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, and with all shows already sold out, the performance on the final day, the 12th, will be streamed live online via Beyond LIVE and Weverse for fans who unfortunately cannot attend in person, which is expected to draw strong interest.
At the same time, EXO's reality variety show "EXO's ladder ride world tour" season 5, which is currently airing, is receiving much love, and every Wednesday at 8 p.m. it is released not only on domestic platforms such as Mnet and Wavve but also on overseas OTT platforms, including KOCOWA+ (Americas, Europe, Oceania), U-NEXT (Japan), friDay Video (Taiwan), and True Visions Now (Thailand), where the members' Jeju Island travel episodes are getting a good response.
The third episode, broadcast on the 18th, opened with EXO's travel second-day episode after spending a cozy night in a "five people in one room," and the members showcased their cooking skills using random ingredients received by climbing a fishnet ladder for breakfast, and together performed missions under the concept of regaining their superpowers within their universe, showing passionate teamwork that drew laughter.
EXO's eighth full-length album, REVERXE, released on Jan. 19, became their eighth million-seller. It also topped iTunes' top albums chart in 48 regions worldwide; ranked No. 1 on the integrated K-pop chart of five music platforms under Tencent Music; received QQ Music's "triple platinum" certification and No. 1 on the digital album chart; was No. 1 on Hanteo Chart's world·album chart weekly; No. 1 on Circle Chart's retail album chart monthly; and achieved a grand slam of five music show wins.
