EXO is a South Korean-Chinese boy band produced by S.M. Entertainment, formed in 2011 in Seoul, South Korea. EXO comprises twelve members separated into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M, performing music in Korean and Mandarin respectively. Their name was taken from exo planet, a term referring to planets outside of the Solar System.
EXO made their official debut on April 08, 2012 with the release of their debut single, "MAMA". EXO-M's version topped mainland Chinese music charts after only one day of release, and EXO-K's "MAMA" music video reached to number seven on YouTube's Global Chart. The group's two albums, the 2012 debut EP Mama and the 2013 comeback studio album XOXO, were major commercial successes, selling over a million units in total worldwide. The lead singles of XOXO, "Wolf" and "Growl", were K-Pop hits, landing first place trophies on music shows from all three of Korea's major free-to-air broadcast stations.
