SM Entertainment’s newest addition to the K-Pop scene, EXO–K, has reported record sales for a rookie group. SM Entertainment reported that the group’s first mini-album “MAMA” sold over 100,000 copies within two months of its release.

EXO-K has reportedly sold 100,612 copies of their album since its release. This number does not include the sales of EXO-M’s Mandarin version of "MAMA." Sales of the Mandarin version total 51,643 copies. Representatives from SM Entertainment stated that the combined total of 155,255 albums sold makes EXO one of the highest selling rookie groups!

Since their debut, the members have been tapped to model from companies such as Calvin Klein Jeans and Ivy Club. With their record number of album sales and their over 30,000,000 unique video views, EXO has definitely made a successful debut.

Digitally tho:/

I like them as a group enough, mainly Suho, Lay and Kris but I didn't really like the mini, except for Angel.

Good for them! With the connection to SM there're both positives and negatives, but I sincerely hope that they are another great success and become great ambassadors for the genre.

echoing what was said above: you're not.

I like the boys as people, (Kris, Tao, Suho, and essentially the rest of M too) but I can't get into their music.

I'm hoping to like their next go though (Hey it took f(x) 2.5 years and 4 promotion songs to come out with another I like, so I never give up on the chance)

I'm not into them either. The only reason I see them is cuz of tumblr and that DJ Got us Falling in Love with TTS.

cuties <3

do you know of any shows or vids of which i can get to know more about exo?

EXO M's had a lot of interviews and a variety show appearance. EXO K's only had radio interviews.

http://www.youtube.com/user/boonyi91 has subbed most (if not all) EXO interviews/TV/radio appearances to date. It's easy to catch up 'cause it's not a lot. And prepare to cringe at EXO M's awakwardness in their first few interviews.

I highly recommend you watch these:

Thank a lot for the channel, will definitely look at it once I have the time. I like Luhan from Exo-M and baekhyun and changyeol and kai from Exo-K (i hope I spelled the names right) which is why i also love your icon <3

Also, thanks for the recommended vids, will check them out later today ^.^

dw OP, there's tons and tons of people who don't like them/aren't into them. I'm not one of them though, but the number is fairly large.

anyways, good for them! They're not doing well digitally, but who honestly expected an SM boy group to do well digitally, lol. They worked hard for this, they deserve it.

and I swear there was a 100,000k sales post about this already, haha.

Heck, EXO is the only group throughly liked by me and my friend with polar opposite tastes (admittedly, I'm more for K and she's more for M). But then again, I'm an SM druggie so I was bound to fall for their charms (=Chanyeol) one day.

Yay K! It would be great if M can achieve something similar, if not, Tao will cry.

I really liked their mini album. EXO is the only SM group that I actually care about funny enough. I mean I listen to songs from the other SM idols and watch some of the shows they are featured on, but I'm not into the rest of the groups in same way I am with EXO.

Late to the party but this, I dislike Sm a lot and usually don't go for C-pop but I am loving Exo-M atm. Chen is amazing.

Different strokes, it's fine if they're not your cup of tea. I love their mini (plus my KrisYeol photocards) being very fun to listen to.

I think it's like tumblr fans annoy most casual fans but there's always a silver lining, they are #2 on top tags on the site so that's pretty amazing!

I really want to get into them music-wise. I really like them as people and I've watched most of their interviews and stuff so I'm capable of being a fan but I don't have high hopes in their music. It's the same with all SM artists, tbh - each group doesn't truly have their own style imo, it always sounds so manufactured and ott. The only SM songs I've really liked were DBSK before they split.

lol at the title. we're only half-way through the year, so a lot can still happen. although 100k of albums sold is quite an achievement.

I think I'm the only person here who's not into them[EXO]

lots of people in omona like them. but there are also lot of people here who are indifferent to them or don't like them at all. but their fans in omona (like me) are very vocal about their support for them.

Just here to side-eye this article. I like EXO and all, but it's barely halfway through 2012. This article is just puffed up fluff.

i'm not into exo either. i'm not a hater, i just don't see what's so impressive about them. idk if it has to do with them or if i'm just getting tired of the kpop forumula in general. oh wow, a group of 5-6 conventionally attractive young men who are mostly indistinguishable to one other who sing and dance in synch. i watched a live perf of "mama" and i wasn't into the song at all. it seemed to over the top and trying too hard to be "epic" instead of just letting the song speak for itself.
