10	Legend dictates that twelve young men with supernatural powers hailing from another planet called the "Exoplanet" were nurturing the tree of life. However, an eye of red force created evil, so the twelve divided the tree into half and hide each side, overturning time and creating two suns that look alike into two worlds that seem alike...
11
12	Or at least, that's the concept formed for the band.
13
14	'''EXO''' (Korean: 엑소) is a [[KoreanPopMusic South Korean]]-Chinese {{boy band}} who debuted under Creator/SMEntertainment on April 8, 2012, after [[ProlongedPrologue 23 teasers]]. They are split into two sub-units, '''EXO-M''' and '''EXO-K''', who promote in China and South Korea, respectively.
15
16	The group originally debuted with 8 Korean members and 4 Chinese members. Former member Kris filed a lawsuit to terminate his contract in early 2014. There was debate about the group disbanding for a while, but members have reassured their fans that they will continue on. Also, as of October 10, 2014, Lu Han has decided to terminate his contract with SM Entertainment as well. There were rumors as far back as September 2014 which said that Lu Han would be leaving due to his health and because SM would make him work despite his health, so as sad as fans were that he decided to leave EXO they were not surprised. Member Tao went on hiatus from group activities beginning April 2015, and officially departed from the group in August.
17
18	After the departure of 3 Chinese members, EXO-K and EXO-M began promoting as a single group EXO. However, due to political reasons, EXO currently promotes as 8 members, while Lay does solo activities in China. Despite this, Lay participated in the group's fifth studio album ''Don't Mess Up My Tempo'' released in 2018. On May 7, 2019, eldest member Xiumin enlisted for mandatory military service, and member D.O. has voluntarily applied for early military enlistment in July of the same year, leaving ''Don't Mess Up My Tempo'' as the last album with the participation of 9 members and ''Love Shot'' as the last album with the participation of all 8 Korean members.
19
20	The group's two albums, the 2012 debut EP ''MAMA'' and the 2013 comeback studio album ''XOXO'', were major commercial successes, selling over 1.5 million units in total worldwide. All versions of ''XOXO'' collectively sold over one million copies, making EXO the first South Korean artists to reach that milestone in 12 years. The group was also named the Best Korean/Japanese Act at the MTV EMA Awards. Their following releases continued their trend of having strong sales, with each comeback being impressive on its own, either in terms of pre-orders, sales numbers or charting position. The Korean version of their third EP ''Overdose'' had over 660,000 pre-orders, making it the most pre-ordered Korean EP in history. It also peaked at number two on ''Billboard''[='=]s World Albums Chart, and at number 129 on the ''Billboard'' 200, making EXO the highest-ever charting male Korean group at that time. ''Overdose'' became the best-selling release of 2014 in South Korea, and was the first EP to top the yearly charts and win the Album of the Year Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards.
21
22	In 2015, the group released a special single titled ''Lightsaber'' to promote the film ''[[Film/TheForceAwakens Star Wars: The Force Awakens]]'' ahead of its release in South Korea, as part of a collaboration between SM Entertainment and [[Creator/{{Disney}} Walt Disney]]. Domestic pre-orders for third studio album ''Ex'Act'' exceeded 660,000 copies and broke the record for the highest first-week sales of a Korean album, previously set by the band's own fourth EP ''Sing For You''.
23
24	On November 4, 2015, EXO released their Japanese debut single ''Love Me Right ~romantic universe~''. On the day of its release, the album sold 147,000 copies and reached the top of the Oricon chart, becoming the all-time best-selling debut single in Japan by a Korean artist. On January 31, 2018, the group released its first Japanese studio album ''Countdown'', which debuted at number one on the weekly Oricon chart, selling approximately 89,000 copies. This achievement made Exo the first non-Japanese band whose debut single and debut studio album both reached number one on the weekly Oricon chart, and ten days after its release, it was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
25
26	On October 31, 2016, a sub-unit of the group debuted under the name '''[[Music/{{EXOCBX}} EXO-CBX]]''' (Korean: 엑소-첸백시; ''EXO Chen-Baek-Xi''), CBX standing for Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin, the members composing it. Their debut EP ''Hey Mama!'' topped the Billboard World Albums chart and South Korean's Gaon album chart. On July 22, 2019, a new sub-unit '''[[Music/{{EXOSC}} EXO-SC]]''' (Korean: 세훈&찬열, ''EXO Sehun & Chanyeol'') consisting of members [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Chanyeol and Sehun]] debuted with the EP ''What a life'', in which the mentioned members participated in the writing of music and lyrics.
27
28	In 2016, main dancer '''Music/{{Lay}}''' debuted as a solo singer with the Chinese mini album ''Lose Control''. The mini album stayed as number one on Billboard's China V Chart for six weeks in a row, broke the record in South Korea for the most sales by a solo artist, peaking at #1 on the Gaon Album Chart and number four on Billboard's US World Albums chart. In 2019, main vocalist '''Music/{{Chen}}''''s first Korean solo album ''April, and a Flower'' debuted at No. 3 Billboard's World Albums, making him the highest-charting solo K-pop act since November 2018 and the first solo star to chart this high in 2019. Main vocalist '''Music/{{Baekhyun}}''' had his solo debut in July 2019 with the mini album ''City Lights'', making him the 5th solo artist to sell over 100,000 album copies in the past decade and breaking previous records set by EXO (placing number 1 on [=iTunes=] in 63 countries) and fellow member Lay (highest first day sales by a solo artist). In March 2020, leader '''Music/{{Suho}}''''s debut mini album ''Self-Portrait'' topped [=iTunes=] album charts in 50 countries, notably getting 1st place in Japan, a feat which EXO as a whole has yet to achieve.
29
30	On April 8, 2022, Lay left S.M. Entertainment after completing his 10-year contract with the agency, though he is still a member of EXO.
31
32	On June 1, 2023, Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate their contracts due to the lack of transparency of their finances and contract disputes. On January 8, 2024, Baekhyun formed his agency called INB100 which would handle the solo activities of his, Chen, and Xiumin. They're still members of Exo.
33
34	On October 18, 2023, Kyungsoo departed from S.M. Entertainment to form a new agency which he founded with his former manager that would handle his solo activities. Just like Lay, he's still a part of Exo.

277	'''NOTE''': Per Administrivia/RealLifeTroping policy, this folder should only contain tropes as it relates to the group's overall concept and the lore associated with it. Information regarding the actual real life members' lives, their personalities, etc. ''outside'' of that concept violates the Real Life Troping policy and is '''not allowed'''.

In short, if it's not related to their fictionalized personas, it should not be added.
278	----
279	* AnimalMotif: They all have an official one confirmed in Exordium dot.
280	** Xiumin is a cat.
281	** Suho is a rabbit.
282	** Lay is a sheep. He even released a BoastfulRap declaring himself as ''the'' sheep. His original motif in MAMA MV is an unicorn. In "Go Fighting!" he is also referred to as a little fox. With the release of his song "Honey", he is now associated with a bee.
283	** Baekhyun is a flying squirrel. He is often compared with a puppy (particularly a Corgi) by fans due to his looks and hyperactive personality.
284	** Chen is a dinosaur. Some fans compared him to a cat.
285	** Chanyeol is a white tiger. Like Baekhyun, he is also compared to a puppy by fans. His original motif in MAMA is a phoenix.
286	** D.O. is a penguin.
287	** Kai is a bear.
288	** Sehun is a wolf. Some compared him to a baby bird or chick.
289	** Lu Han is compared to a deer. Bonus points because his name means "deer of the dawn" in Chinese. He refers to himself as the deer in his solo work.
290	** Kris's motif in MAMA is a dragon.
291	** Tao is often compared to a panda because of his [[CreepyShadowedUnderEyes eyes]], and he calls himself "Kung Fu Panda".
292	* ArcNumber: There's 88 for WOLF.
293	* BoyBand: One of the most popular examples in KoreanPopMusic.
294	* {{Catchphrase}}:
295	** "We are one" and "사랑하자" (meaning "let's love").
296	** Suho usually ends events with "지금까지 엑소 였습니다" ("Up until now, this has been EXO!").
297	** Lay's personal motto and catchphrase is "努力努力再努力" [[{{Determinator}} ("Work hard, work hard, and work harder")]]. This is included in his solo song ''SHEEP'''s lyrics and is his display name on Weibo.
298	** Lay also has a specific way of saying ''aiyowei'' (a Chinese expression for shock or surprise).
299	** Lay also has his golden advice for the trainees in "Idol Producer": ''BALANCE''.
300	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience:
301	** [=EXO=]'s official color is silver, or as some called, cosmic latte.
302	** Purple for Lay as a soloist.
303	** In [=CBX=] promotions, Baekhyun is blue, Chen is green, and Xiumin is red.
304	** ''Power'' assigns everyone colors based on their individual superpower - Xiumin is cyan, Suho is blue, Baekhyun is white, Chen is yellow, Chanyeol is red, D.O. is purple, Kai is black and Sehun is green.
305	* DifferentlyPoweredIndividual: The concept behind their ''MAMA'' promotions was that each member had a specific super power. They are still portrayed as superhumans in later promotions, but only rarely. The concept was then revived in the ''Pathcode'' trailers, with ''Call Me Baby'', ''Ko Ko Bop'', ''Power'', and ''Obsession'' showcasing the superpower concept again. While their powers are given a nod in music videos such as ''Lucky One'' or ''Kokobop'', ''Power'' takes the concept and runs with it, showing the members receiving their respective powers except for Baekhyun, who has never lost it in the MV. From oldest to youngest, their powers are:
306	** AnIcePerson: Xiumin
307	** MindOverMatter / {{Telepathy}}: Lu Han
308	** {{Flight}}: Kris
309	** MakingASplash: Suho
310	** HealingHands: Lay
311	** LightEmUp: Baekhyun
312	** ShockAndAwe: Chen

320	** Though initially thought that they were evil versions of EXO and were [[EvilDoppelganger separate beings]], with them participating in battles against each other in the ''Obsession'' music video, EXO describes them as the [[JekyllAndHyde evil inside them]] and make comments such as "I'm going to turn into X-EXO".

322	* {{Flanderization}}: Their fans are experts at this in their fanfiction.
323	** Xiumin was stereotyped as a {{big eater}} until he lost an [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BLHv9g9CUAALve5.jpg alarming amount of weight]]. Nowadays, it's no longer acceptable.
324	** Luhan is often feminized, much to his dismay.

337	* KaleidoscopeHair: During the ''Wolf'' promotions, especially, everyone's hairs were switching between all kinds of colours.
338	* MrFanservice: Kai, and also Lay and Baekhyun to an extent. ''Very'' much so and acknowledged InUniverse, as they are often put in the center for group shots, have some of the longest amounts of full face shots in music videos, and in the case of Kai, has been dressed in some of the more revealing pieces of clothing like the infamous bare chested red suit in "Love Shot" and cropped tops in "Tempo" and "Obsession".
339	* OddNameOut:
340	** Xiumin points out that compared to the members, his stage name is the longest in Korean (with three syllables; though Kris is written with three as well, it's easier to pronounce than Xiumin).
341	** On the other hand, Chen is the only one to have his stage name in one Korean/Chinese syllable.

405	* LimitedWardrobe: X-EXO's [[https://biaswrecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/df0db6700c566db8df016aed484918e9.jpg other]] [[https://scontent-lhr3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/e35/73497433_188420785671217_2163180413513531538_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-lhr3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=101&oh=b947fd6ae1a8049fbe4b94668e05b7ef&oe=5E67C414 outfits]] are just [[PaletteSwap palette swaps]] of their [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKWFnyUUcAAZBDV.jpg main outfits]].

409	* LyricalDissonance: Happens extremely frequently, but is most obvious in ''The Eve'' from their album ''The War''. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0l2x_9FpBQ English demo]] is overtly sexual, but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZt1Nt2vWXM final Korean version]] is about wanting to work out a troubled relationship. Then there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ycw7p9-bE choreography]]...
410	* LyricsVideoMismatch: ''MAMA'''s lyrics are pretty symbolic, about people losing contacts and love with each other, while the MV is mostly about the group showcasing their elemental powers.

417	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s4hb9_xA2U Kris and Xiumin]] in the Chinese version.
418	* MoneyToBurn: Quite funny that [[SecretlyWealthy Suho]] is the one burning a pile of money in their ''Lotto'' music video.
419	* NonuniformUniform: Their ''Growl'' era costumes are basically personalised school uniforms, from sleeveless jackets, neckties/no neckties and inside shirts.

421	%%* PepTalkSong
422	%%** ''History''.
423	%%** Also ''Two Moons''.
424	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: ''Wolf'' is all about being a werewolf in love with a beautiful girl. In the Drama version of the music videos for both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KutN84H-bg4 Wolf and Growl]], we can see that being a werewolf in EXO entails having an exotic white hair colour, a cool tattoo on your arm, glowing red eyes at certain times, and no transformation (although the usual werewolf aspects of super-strength are still there).
425	* PlayingWithSyringes: The nurses in ''Lucky One'' injected mysterious black substance in their [=IVs=].
426	* {{Pixellation}}: Done a few times in their ''Monster'' music video for aesthetic effects.
427	* ProductPlacement: Samsung Level headset in ''Call Me Baby'', Samsung phones and headsets in Pathcode teasers. Maybe because they have a tie-in with Samsung.
428	%%* ProlongedPrologue: After 23 teasers...
429	* SequelSong: ''My Turn to Cry'' is the prince version of ''Baby Don't Cry''.
430	* {{Shirtless Scene}}: The ''Let Out the Beast'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MGHTTPiC4k VCR]] in The Lost Planet concert.

433	** ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' in ''Love Me Right''. Analysis is [[http://onehallyu.com/topic/180078-exo-love-me-right-mv-alice-in-wonderland/ here]].
434	** There's also a [[http://i2.wp.com/seoulbeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/20150603_seoulbeats_exo_love_me_right_2.png Murakami reference]] in the same MV. [[spoiler: It's the quote on the wall reading "that's what this storm's all about."]]
435	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukAvTZbnN94 Lightsaber]], considering the Star Wars tie-in, doesn't have a lot of shout outs. Started from Darth Vader breathing in the song, lightsabers in Baekhyun's, Kai's and Sehun's hands , 'Jedi Only', 'May the Force', 'Security Notice: Concealed Sabers are Prohibited in This Facility' signs in the MV
436	* SigilSpam: A lot of their MAMA era costumes incorporate their logo somewhere. Logos also appeared on kites and caravan in What is Love MV.

443	* SWATTeam: SWAT-like team appeared in ''Monster'', upped up with their ''Lotto'' where the SWAT-like team have uniform with SWAT written on their backs.
444	%%* TitleTrack: ''MAMA''.
445	* TotalEclipseOfThePlot: In ''What is Love''. Also appeared in Pathcode teasers and later again in Total Eclipse teaser. A big theme of the group.
446	* TranslatedCoverVersion:
447	** For singles and mini albums, EXO-K and EXO-M sing in Korean and Mandarin, respectively.
448	** The first four albums have two versions: Korean and Mandarin. Due to Lay's absence leaving EXO-M with two active members, the fifth album and repackage only have the title tracks ''Tempo'' and ''Love Shot'' in Mandarin (with Lay only participating in ''Tempo''). After Xiumin enlisted, leaving Chen as the only active EXO-M member, the sixth album only contains the title track ''Obsession'' in Chinese, with the vocals of the six promoting EXO members.

479	* MissingEpisode: A lot of members' parts are cut due to editing restrictions, such as the drivers' license team or the rap line practice.
480	** Chanyeol and Kai were edited from the the HauntedHouse episode, and people assumed it was because they [[SirSwearsalot swore a lot]]. In a different broadcast 7 years later, Chanyeol explains it was because they [[NoSenseOfDirection took the wrong path]] through the haunted house, going into random places like in between the wooden boards, and bumped into the staff who were getting ready.
481	* NewYearsResolution: In episode 8, the members go out to do things that will help them achieve their goals in 2014. Over dinner, the members discuss goals they have for the new year of 2014.

482	%%* OneSidedArmWrestling: Xiumin vs. everyone in episode 4.

The first season's promotional material includes Lay in the lineup, however, he was removed in the second season onwards.
501
502	The first season follows Xiumin's daily life, including his housewarming party and trips with friends, filmed before his enlistment in the Korean military. Besides the EXO members, his non-celebrity friends are featured in the show.
503
504	Xiumin passes the baton to the next member, who he chose because said member appeared at the [=Heart4U=] filming afterparty. The second season is Chen's [[TravelogueShow national busking tour]] before the release of his second mini album ''Dear my dear''. Many Korean singers are featured as his guests as he travels to Busan, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Seoul.
505
506	For ''some reason'', Chen doesn't pass the baton to the next member, and Suho introduces himself as the third member to participate in the series. The season shows Suho's preparations for his first solo album ''Self-Portrait'' and moments spent with the other members (and their manager), also before his mandatory enlistment.
507
508	Chanyeol is the fourth member to participate in the series. The season focuses on his summer camping trip where he would enjoy getting in touch with nature.

517	* CampingEpisode: Suho goes camping with Chanyeol and Sehun in the third season.
518	* FancyCamping: The aforementioned CampingEpisode isn't going outside to form a bonfire and sleep in tents: it's to play games and sleep in small air-conditioned and furnished huts/houses. They originally planned for a bonfire, but it rained so they weren't able to do it.
519	* FortuneTeller: Xiumin visits one with his friends, and he asks about things in their life such as their health, careers, and about love. Xiumin then takes the opportunity to test his compatibility and relationship with leader Suho.

521	** There's also "I can do it. You can do it. We can do it."

523	* [[UsefulNotes/KoreanHonorifics Korean Honorifics]]: Fans ask Xiumin to test on the lie detector whether he wants Suho to call him ''hyung'' or not.
524	--> '''Xiumin''': Do I want Suho to treat me like an older brother? No, we're friends. We're friends. ''My friend, my leader.'' I would never lie about that. ''(lie detector goes off)'' I think this is broken...
