SM's newest rookie group EXO-K is walking on the pathway which has already been cleared by their seniors with heavy footsteps. And they are aiming high, an expectation which is not made from other senior artists before.
SM has also made a new record. Debuting a group in China and Korea at the same time. A rookie group coming out in 4 years and an online promotion worth 100 days before debut which caught the attention of many K-POP fans. EXO-K had their official debut on the 8th of April with their title song 'MAMA'.
They had been raising the anticipation and have been victorious with the feedback. 'MAMA' is a production of SMP (SM Music Performance) with majestic orchestra sounds. This sound creates a difference within the music being created these days. We can feel that their performances on stage are a level higher than the seniors and could be called 'another legend'.
The members couldn't hold in their expressions when the reporter complimented them 'Your looks look better from close', they seem to have a lot to tell about their 1 month since debut on earth.
"Before our debut, we have a 100 day promotion. It wasn't such a short time but us rookies have been waiting for those 100 days and have thought that the anticipation from the fans and viewers would increase. So we practiced event harder" (Chanyeol)
The word that brings them a bigger discussion is 'practice'. And the thing that has supported most of their life before being 20 was practicing. "We had an average of 3~4 years of training. I had a trainee period of 7 years. I started since year 11 (3rd year of High School). After school ended, I would go practice dancing, singing, Chinese, a second language from 5PM and return home late at night". (Suho).
We has been running for one dream for 7 years of becoming a singer. After school, he's practice singing and dancing, it has been 7 years since he'd been taking in the cold air every night whilst heading back home. His friends have also debuted too.
"There were a few things I was envious of when I was young. But each person has a time in life, and it was preparing to come, so I had to be ready. I was practicing for music that I likes do I was able to do it efficiently" (Suho)
As soon as they received the spotlight after the long trainee years, they do feel different but only speak of how much pity they have. "We weren't able to fully digest how to find the right cameras in the first broadcast. I was shaking a lot and nervous, it was a pity because I thought that we didn't show much of our skills. So we have to do our absolute best next time." (Chanyeol)

D.O was very nervous for the debut stage had made an accident by saying 'Superior Orchestra' instead of 'Majestic Orchestra' expressed his sadness to the accident "I thought I was doing well during the rehearsals. But after standing on stage during the live broadcast, I couldn't remember at all. Ah what a pity." (D.O)
It's only been 1 month into their debut, and they have become celebrities from trainees. Baekhyun started by saying "We have become more careful with our actions since many people watch the television these days after our debut. It's great to hear the fans cheer from close." then D.O continued "The fact that we get to stand on a stage that we wanted to is great."
EXO is derived from EXO PLANET which is located in outer space and has the meaning 'New stars from the unknown world'. They each have characteristics for holding powers such as water, fire and teleport. Unique and even more unique.
"I believed that I had powers ever since. I was confident enough to blend in well with the concept. (laughs)" (Kai). "I felt the same when we got our song 'MAMA. It was fresh and different." (D.O)
We followed up the conversation with a talk about their concept, the members were very excited talking about the different events that have happened during the music video filming of the six members with powers. "We had a few CG effects in our music video, and I acted out a scene where there was fire coming out of my hand. As I was thinking that I had powers, the acting came out very naturally."
Chanyeol had his eyes wide open whilst saying "I was very surprised when I watched the music video. It came out really cool. I got goosebumps watching Kai doing teleportation.", the other members said a few words as well. "True", "I was also fascinated".
The members started to smile when we asked them about EXO-M that is promoting in China. "I was trying to learn some Chinese as I was conversing with the members, but the members of M are very good in Korean. they'd respond in Korean if we asked a question in Chinese. (laughs)" (Chanyeol) "I think we'll be able to have a performance together in concerts, ceremonies or big performances." (Suho)
The end of year awards is a big event for the rookies. The members have put their words together and made their goal, which was winning the rookie award. "If we work hard and do our best to show good music and performances to the people, I think we'll be able to win the award." (Suho)
The six boys have said aloud "We will work hard" together.
Part 2 will be up shortly~
