[NEWS] EXO-K "We will not catch the celebrity disease and maintain our beginnings"!


The rookie group EXO who said that they will target Korean and China at the same time have gotten their dream and stood up in the music industry. EXO consists of 12 members and are divided in groups of 6 of which EXO-K will promote in Korea and EXO-M will promote in China. A lot of attention has been gone to them till now for their new strategy.

SM Entertainment has released EXO two years after their debut for f(x) and have been gaining a lot of attention. EXO has gotten their motive from being 'EXO PLANET' from outer space and it means that they will be new stars to the world. It also means that you cannot find the charms that the members have got from space. The members include the leader Suho (21), Baekhyun (20), Chanyeol (20), D.O (19), Kai (18) and Sehun (18), they feel a big responsibility for holding the name EXO-K.

Suho started off the interview by saying "EXO is derived from EXO PLANET and I think it's the name that suits us the most. We want to let the world know who we are" and laughed by saying "It's been 3 weeks since we came on earth but I think we got used to the area quickly" The fact that the six boys are slowly taking over outer space.

After finishing their 100 days worth of promotions via teaser videos, they has opened their debut showcase on the 31st of March. The fans had cheered on after seeing the ones in the teaser videos on stage. The members' reactions weren't that different to the fans and they still remember how touched they were back then.

Kai remembered how he falt at that time "5 seconds before the stage, I felt that my heart was exploding. I was nervous but I felt ecstatic after hearing the fans shouts. It was an indescribable feeling." Then he continued by saying "As I started the dance with the music, I thought "Ah this is why I am a singer. I wouldn't regret it if I died on stage".

D.O expressed himself as well "It's been 3 weeks into our promotions. There are no difficulties so far. I am so happy to be on stage. Since it was an event that I have dreamt of, it is very exciting" and "I think I'd show the powers of superman on stage". The members found it hard to express themselves other than "Jjang! Daebak! It's the end", so they use language of their age to express themselves easier.


EXO-K has gotten a lot of attention before their debut. They always had the tag 'SM Trainees'. 

Chanyeol expressed his true feelings "The title 'SM Trainees' is quite burdensome. The seniors did so well that it's pressurizing to follow them up from behind.".

But Suho added on "We tried our best to perfection everything because of the anticipation. We have confidence and we will embrace ourselves with a different type of music alongside the other idols. We will try our best for people to notice us by saying 'Ah this is EXO-K's music'".

EXO-K also revealed that they want to take a step further within the music industry as idols. They want to stand as EXO-K who receives spotlight from the netizens and will not be overrun by others on stage. But that splendor has not died. They are still keeping the human sides within themselves.

Suho sent out a few words "We want to become a group that shares the love to others rather than receiving it. We weren't able to do community service yet after having our debut, but we are willing to do so. We will try to work on smaller things first"

EXO-K has been helping out in local senior homes and schools for the deaf people by since their trainee period. They had been cleaning, learning sign language for the children. EXO-K is remembered a well manners and caring people to the elderly and children rather than an idol group. They are EXO-K on stage but off stage, they are normal young men who enjoy their daily lives.

They have once again remembered that they wil not forget the amount of love they are receiving. They also said that they will not lose track of the process they are going through in order to reach higher. They promised "We will not get caught by the celebrity disease and we will maintain our spots. We will become a group that will continue to reach forwards rather than thinking it's the end".
