EXO-K’s Impact During Debut Continues to Impress K-Netizens: ‘Our School Was Shaken by Their Visuals’

Is there any group that you believe could surpass EXO in terms of visuals? On a Korean forum, netizens fondly recalled the iconic “face cards”of EXO-K, a sub-unit of the group.

An OP visited Instiz to express their admiration for the legendary sub-unit of all time, EXO-K!

Formed by Suho, D.O., Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Kai, and Sehun, the group was initially unveiled in 2012 as a sub-group of EXO with the purpose of promoting their Korean releases within South Korea.

Despite the departure of the Chinese members Kris, Luhan, and Tao from the main group in 2014, EXO-M, its Chinese counterpart, also faced a virtual disbandment. As a result, EXO-K continued promoting as the sole EXO group, consisting of Xiumin, Chen, and Lay.

Despite the passing of more than ten years, the unit continues to hold a special place in the hearts and minds of K-pop fans as they reminisce about the time the sextet caused a frenzy on the internet with the release of their concept photos.

Despite the lack of high-resolution cameras at the time, the members’ high-quality visuals compensated for it.

Despite their contrasting appearances and unique facial features, when gathered together, their visual harmony was truly impressive.

Despite each person having their own distinct aura and standing out in their own ways, they did not overshadow one another.

After reading the post, netizens unanimously reached a consensus. As they shared nostalgic memories, they also left glowing feedback for the beloved EXO unit.

• “What a G.O.A.T. Our school flipped over because of EXO then, seriously…”
• “They’re just truly a legend.”
• “No, because I often think about their faces and skills, they have superpowers, too.”
• “A lot of people from the broadcasting station said that they are really handsome.”
• “They are a blessing.”
• “Seriously, how can there be a group like this since the beginning of their debut… so crazy.”
• “I would believe it if you’d say the photos are from now. Kai looks the same as it was then.”
• “Seriously, there is a reason why schools were flipped over.”
• “Even though they are just going to debut, they already look so good.”

Some even suggested that adding Xiumin to the group would elevate their iconic status, as he was also known for his exceptional handsomeness. Even twelve years later, his face still maintains its divine appearance.

Despite celebrating their 12th anniversary in April, EXO is currently on a hiatus. Nevertheless, each member is actively pursuing solo activities while still representing the group as a whole.

EXO members Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., and Lay are currently pursuing their solo careers. In May, both Suho and D.O. released their highly anticipated solo albums.

Lay’s “Grandline”world tour has commenced and his upcoming destination will be Seoul in June.

In contrast, Chanyeol is expected to unveil his solo debut album this year.

EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) reemerged with IN100, while Kai and Sehun are currently fulfilling their military duties.
