EXO DEBUT PHOTOS OFFLINE

Back when there was no clear end in sight, EXO’s ‘100 days of teasers’ had many new fans wondering whether the group would ever debut or whether SM was just fuckin’ with us all and there were actually no plans to debut EXO at all – that it was all some big elaborate April Fools prank (a possibility that became more likely as April 1st drew closer).

So to mark the occasion let’s take a look at the group’s past concepts and some of the fan theories/debates they inspired, as well as look at popular theories relating to EXO’s current comeback.Īh, the teaser era, that glorious “When the hell are they gonna debut?”/ “Oh, god not anther Kai teaser!” era that only fans who’ve been around since day one can truly appreciate, or rage about as the case may be. It’s the pre-debut/MAMA era all over again with the return of the boys’ super powers and subtle nods to the group’s previous concepts with the #pathcodeEXO twitter feed and little Easter Eggs hidden throughout the ‘EXODUS’ teasers themselves. With their EXOPLANET #2 : The EXO’luXion concerts out of the way and the fandom pumped for a new album, EXO has been dropping teasers like it’s Christmas and the fandom’s detectives have been working overtime solving #PATHCODES and developing theories about when and which members teasers will drop. It’s a fanfic writer’s wet dream and it’s only getting better. Sure EXO aren’t the only group to have concepts for their comebacks and they aren’t the only group to have a group concept/backstory (remember B.A.P’s alien concept when they debuted), but they are the only group that has built their concepts into this enormous group ‘superconcept/mythos/universe’ that is constantly referenced in damn near everything they do.įrom power rings during ‘ MAMA’ to Luhan’s power tattoo in the ‘ Wolf’ drama MV to references in variety appearances to the #PATHCODE teasers and clues, references to the EXO ‘mythos’ are everywhere. These guys don’t just have MV ‘concepts’ they have their own group ‘mythos’, which started before the group had even debuted with the reoccurring symbolism in their teasers to the infamous narration at the beginning of the ‘ MAMA’ music video and continues to grow with each comeback. It was then deigned that the twelve forces could only return if they brought with them a concept of proportions so epic that only all of their previous concepts combined could match its epicness and the fandom rejoiced.Īnd that concept was the EXODUS comeback.ĮXO, arguably one of the most concept heavy groups in all of Kpop. Once again the twelve forces returned, but striped of their powers and with a concept that did little to inspire new stories and the fandom was unimpressed.

Writers from other fandoms flocked to AFF, Dreamweaver, Livejournal and Ao3 to write about the twelve forces and many feels were had. Hence, the twelve forces obliged, returning as wolves and inspiring countless fanfic writers to begin writing a/b/o and wolfau stories like no fandom had done ever before. Though its mythology proved at times convoluted and long winded, taking up the first minute and a half of the “MAMA” MV, the fans ate it up and demanded more. This is the second biggest debut this 2021, following NCT Dream's 'Hot Sauce' which sold 1,027,000 units in the week ending on May 29.When the skies and the grounds were one, the legends, with their twelve forces, debuted with a concept of epic proportions, the likes of which had not been seen in Kpop. participated in EXO's recent comeback with the release of their special album, entitled 'Don't Fight the Feeling.'
