From Collaborations to OST, EXO Members’ Unbeatable Competition
Members of idol group EXO are currently competing through their various solo activities, ranging from acting, unit, participating in OST and numerous collaboration projects.
EXO Baek Hyun is now called ‘The God of Collaboration’ due to his two successful collab singles. Last year, Baekhyun and Suzy were successful with their duet single ‘Dream’; this year, Baekhyun partnered with So You in ‘Rain’. The song also scored all-kill in various music charts right after it was released. Baek Hyun’s melodious voice is said to be able to harmonize well with any female singers, so his collaboration could always create magnificent singles.
EXO’s other main vocal, Chen, also had a bunch of solo activities. Different from Baekhyun who focuses on collabs, Chen’s solo activity is participating in various drama OST, starting from SBS ‘It’s Okay It’s Love’ (titled ‘Best Luck’), KBS ‘Descendants of the Sun’ (titled ‘Everytime’), and SBS ‘Moon Lovers’ (titled ‘For You’).
Meanwhile, EXO Chanyeol also had collaborations with international group Far East Movement. He also proved his ability as a solo singer through his duet track with Punch in ‘Goblin’ OST.
EXO’s third album, which was released last year, scored biggest sale with more than 1 million copies sold. Added with the special album, unit album (EXO-CBX), and solo (Lay), their sales are up to 2 million copies, making them the only group with such fantastic achievement.
EXO’s strength does not only appear when they’re doing activities as a team. When doing solo activities, each member can also maximize their potentials. Last year, EXO released their first unit, EXO-CBX, and in this first quarter of the year, almost all members of EXO are already busy with their acting and solo activities.
