Korean netizens amazed by EXO's Chinese fans as they take celebrations of the group's anniversary to another level

AKP STAFF

EXO is one of the most popular K-pop groups that has received immense love globally, especially in China. EXO initially started out as an international group and was noted for releasing music in Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese. 

The group debuted with twelve members that were separated into EXO-K and EXO-M, with EXO-M including four Chinese members. Therefore, EXO gained much love and popularity in China. 

Although EXO has not promoted in China since 2014 due to various reasons, such as the Korean culture ban in China, it seems that the core Chinese fans still support the group and celebrate their anniversary.

One Korean netizen shared some of the photos in an online community of the events that Chinese fans have planned for EXO for their anniversary. The netizen shared, "The group maintains a solid core fandom so they are still celebrating EXO's anniversaries."

9th-anniversary celebration - YOUTH&GROWTH concept

The netizen who shared the photos and videos explained, "They even created a teaser for the celebration. I thought it was interesting to see how the celebration scale grows every year." 

Other netizens were also impressed and amazed by the scale on which the fans in China prepared a whole exhibit to celebrate the group's anniversary. Netizens commented, "That looks so fun," "They really know how to enjoy their fandom," "This is so cool," "It looks like a theme park," "I want to be part of that," "Looks so fun, I want to be part of that," "Looks like it would be really fun to be part of all that," "I want to go experience those celebrations," "They might build a building for EXO exhibit at this point," "This is on another level," "Why didn't they invite me? I want to go!" "Starting from the teaser, they're really all out on these celebrations," "I want to go too," "Please invite me," "Thanks for continuing to support EXO," and "Wow, looks amazing."

Because vocally, EXO is all that. + They record good songs. = Solid fanbase because EXO is all that.


And as others hear their recordings, EXO gets new real LISTENING fans, not those fishing for clicks or those trying to get in the in-crowd. And I'm not even an EXO-L; I'm just a fan.

EXO are a huge deal in China despite not promoting, same goes for the ex-members like Huang ZiTao and LuHan who obviously are active in China right now. Congratulations to them on their anniversary!!
