Can you think of any group that can beat EXO in terms of visuals? In a Korean forum, netizens reminisced the legendary "face cards" of the sub-unit, EXO-K.
An OP took to Instiz to appreciate the iconic sub-unit of all time, EXO-K!
Comprised of Suho, D.O. Baekyun, Chanyeol, Kai, and Sehun, the team was first introduced in 2012 as a sub-unit of EXO intended to promote their Korean releases in South Korea.
However, after the Chinese members Kris, Luhan, and Tao left the main group in 2014, it also led to the virtual disbandment of EXO-M, its Chinese counterpart; thus, EXO-K began promoting as just EXO, along with Xiumin, Chen, and Lay.
But even after more than a decade, the unit stills lives rent-free in K-pop fans' heart and mind. They recently recalled the time the sextet actually wrecked the internet with the release of their concept photos.
At the time, high-resolution cameras weren't a thing yet; however, the high-quality visuals of the members made up for it.
Looking at their respective appearances, they exuded different charms and facial features yet when gathered together, their visual harmony was just so impressive!
Each had his unique aura, and stood out in their own ways - but they didn't overpower one another.
Seeing the post, netizens collectively agreed. Amid reminiscing, they left rave reviews about the beloved EXO unit.
- "What a G.O.A.T. Our school flipped over because of EXO then, seriously..."
- "They're just truly a legend."
- "No, because I often think about their faces and skills, they have superpowers, too."
- "A lot of people from the broadcasting station said that they are really handsome."
- "They are a blessing."
- "Seriously, how can there be a group like this since the beginning of their debut... so crazy."
- "I would believe it if you'd say the photos are from now. Kai looks the same as it was then."
- "Seriously, there is a reason why schools were flipped over."
- "Even though they are just going to debut, they already look so good."
Some also wrote that the group would even be more iconic if they added Xiumin, who also had top-notch handsomeness! To this day, his face remains divine as if he didn't age twelve years later!
Meanwhile, EXO who celebrated their 12th anniversary in April is currently in a hiatus. However, the members are doing their solo activities while representing the group.
EXO Suho, Chanyeol, D.O. Lay are focused on their solo careers. Both Suho and D.O. released their new albums in May.
Lay has embarked on his new "Grandline" world tour. His next stop would be in Seoul this June.
Chanyeol, on the other hand, is slated to release his solo debut album this year.
EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) started anew under IN100, while Kai and Sehun are currently serving in the military.
