OMG, EXO just dropped their 8th full album and literally **ate and left no crumbs** with their title track ‘Crown’! Our kings made a *perfect ‘return of the king’* narrative, securing a mind-blowing 5-win Grand Slam on music shows from Jan 28 to Feb 1, and guess what? They did it all WITHOUT even appearing! Talk about **main character energy**, periodt! 👑
‘Crown’ is an absolute bop, blending Atlanta trap drums, heavy metal guitar, and EDM synths for a hard dance vibe that *breaks all the genre rules*. And the performance? It’s that iconic ‘SMP style’ power, serving **visuals and choreography** that truly embody their lyrics about protecting something precious like a crown.
This comeback, their first in 2.5 years, has been pure fire! Since its Jan 19 release, the album has been **slaying globally**, hitting #1 on iTunes Top Album Charts in 47 regions, dominating China’s Tencent Music K-Pop chart, bagging a ‘Triple Platinum’ on QQ Music (that’s over 3 million yuan, sis!), and topping Hanteo and Circle charts. Our oppas truly are untouchable!
The members totally felt the **’WE ARE ONE’** vibe with EXO-L, saying, ‘We felt EXO and EXO-L became one. We’re happier than ever that the world recognizes our sincerity and your love. EXO exists because of EXO-L. We believe we can do anything together. We’ll always be grateful and repay you with good performances.’ Aww, we stan legends who stan us back! 🥺💖
And get ready, because EXO is serving more! They’re hitting the stage for their sixth solo concert tour, ‘EXO PLANET #6 – EXhOrizon,’ from April 10-12 at KSPO DOME in Seoul. Time to secure those tickets, EXO-L, because it’s gonna be **lit**!
