In an astonishing display of fan support, EXO's highly anticipated seventh studio album, "Exist," has surpassed all expectations by selling over 1.6 million units in pre-orders alone, setting a new record for the globally renowned band. Released on Monday, "Exist" marks their first full-group effort in over two years since their special album, "Don't Fight The Feeling," and their previous LP, "Obsession," released in November 2019.
Despite the excitement surrounding the release, EXO's promotional activities will be tinged with a hint of sadness as member Kai will be absent due to his unexpected military summons two months ago. However, the remaining seven members are set to engage with their dedicated fanbase through a livestream event scheduled 90 minutes prior to the album's official release.
"Exist" comprises a total of nine tracks, two of which were released in advance as teasers for the full album. The songs, titled "Let Me In" and "Hear Me Out," dropped on June 12 and 30, respectively, garnering immense popularity. Both tracks reached the top positions on the iTunes top songs chart, with "Let Me In" claiming the throne in 33 regions and "Hear Me Out" triumphing in 37.
The overwhelming success of "Exist" further solidifies EXO's position as one of the most influential K-pop groups on the international music scene. Fans around the world have eagerly awaited the album's release, showing unwavering support for the band even in the face of Kai's temporary absence. With their trademark blend of talent, charisma, and addictive melodies, EXO continues to captivate audiences and redefine the boundaries of K-pop.
As the band's latest masterpiece dominates the charts and captivates hearts, fans eagerly anticipate EXO's future endeavors, eagerly awaiting the moment when all members will reunite once again to deliver unforgettable performances.
