“We are one! Hello, we are EXO!,” the members shouted out the group’s official chant as they entered the room. The nine-member group was short one -- bandmate Lay was not able to join in the concert due to a scheduling conflict.
“We never imagined that we would perform in such a big concert venue like this. We’d like to thank EXO-L (EXO’s official global fan club name),” Xiumin said.
EXO also revealed its plan for the next album’s release with confidence.
“The title for the upcoming album has been set already. We are looking forward to releasing the album in the summer,” said Suho.
“What do you say often when you feel very hot in the summer? That’s all we can say for now,” another member said, offering a clue to the concept of the new album’s title track.

The idol group showed off its famous energetic yet restrained dance moves along with powerful singing.
There were tender moments too, as when EXO captivated the concertgoers with mellow voices and tranquil guitar playing during an acoustic medley session.

Fireworks and lightings rose high up in the sky numerous times, even higher than the dome to reach the highlight of the event.
After EXO called it a day with “Lucky” and “Run,” the crowd called the group back with a sorrowful sing-along time.
