EXO Launches Website And Announces Details For Their Upcoming Sub-Unit
After announcing in early October that Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin would be forming EXO’s first sub-unit, EXO has finally revealed the details (after teasing us with a video).
According to their Vyrl post, EXO’s sub-unit will be called EXO-CBX. Their first mini-album is titled “Hey Mama!” and will be released on October 31 at midnight KST.
The website also features the sub-unit’s logo, which incorporates the letters CBX into the classic cube shape of EXO’s official logo.
At the bottom of the website are links to a notice board, a schedule, and a fanboard. The notice board and schedule are empty at the time of writing but the fanboard is already full of encouraging messages from EXO fans looking forward to the new unit.

Date: 2016-10-24 10:13 pm (UTC)I want to ask these questions because I'm more of a casual listener but not hardcore stan and don't really follow their rankings ish really.
1) Realistically, what are TWICE's chances at a triple crown? I know EXO's physical sales are high and Chen-Baek-Xiu are in the top of popular members, plus EXO's digital score is probably the highest out of the boy groups after Big Bang?
2) Will BlackPink not win a single trophy in their comeback? Will YG postpone their comeback? (But then what happens to TWICE vs BlackPink lol)
3) Will EXO be slaying the music shows? I don't think Kyuhyun would be able to beat EXO unless he comes out with a fall ballad song that Korea just loves (because his song last year wasn't as good as At Gwanghwamun) and I don't know what other big groups/singers are coming out (I vaguely known that Hyorin is making a comeback).

Date: 2016-10-25 08:04 am (UTC)i think it's very weibo/china based. idk much about that :/

Date: 2016-10-25 03:40 pm (UTC)People who preorder probably won't even get their albums in the first week bc SM still need to re-produce the album. And also it wouldn't show the real number of yixing's first day/week sale.
As if we need more proof of SM don't give a fuck about yixing
