Tropes

• Breakup Breakout: After their departure from EXID, Yuji, Haeryung and Dami (Who dropped her stage name for her given name Hyeyeon) formed the group BESTie along with new recruit Dahye.
• Can't Hold Her Liquor: According to the rest of the members, Hani gets drunk very easily.
• Creator Cameo: Of sorts. Shinsadong Tiger has a cameo appearance drinking something next to a toilet in "Boredom Song."
• Dye Hard: Every member has changed their hair color at least once during the group's career.
• Fan Community Nickname: LEGGO
• Hey It's That Song!: A oft-used song for background music in ButBut TV is "Levan Polkka," also known as the song from the "Leekspin" meme.
• Lyrical Dissonance: "Good" from their album Street is an upbeat, funky dance track...about a couple whose relationship is falling apart in spite of attempts to keep it looking good on the surface.
• Meme Acknowledgment: Sometimes the girls will post viral pictures of themselves created by fans to their Instagram accounts.
• Production Posse: One of the CEOs of Wellmade Yedang Entertainment is renowned K-Pop producer Shinsadong Tiger. As a result, EXID members have shown up in other group's songs composed by him. For example, LE lent her rapping talents to T-ara's song "Sugar Free," and Solji contributed some of the vocals to Dal Shabet's song "Big Baby Baby."
• Spell My Name With An S:
  • 혜린 is romanized as either Hyerin or Hyelin. The Korean "ᄅ" character's pronunciation occupies a verbal gray area between the two letters.
  • Jeonghwa can be romanized as Junghwa.
• What Could Have Been:
  • EXID's original lineup

    • Hani was supposed to be in a group under JYP Entertainment with Hyolyn of SISTAR, Song Jieun of Secret and Uji of Bestie/EXID.
