EXO PROFILE
Setelah banyak ngepost tentang EXO
sebelumnya, akhirnya saya bisa ngepost tentang profil-profil member EXO.
EXO terdiri dari 12 member, kemudian mereka di bagi dua untuk
menggebrak 2 pasar berbeda yaitu EXO-K untuk Korea Selatan dan EXO-M
untuk Cina. EXO selalu menganggap mereka 1 walaupun mereka harus di bagi
menjadi dua, sesuai dengan intro mereka : We Are One!!! Hallo Everyone!!! We Are EXO!!!
Dari 12 member ini, 4 di antaranya
merupakan Chinese yang dimasukkan ke dalam EXO-M. Untuk si sulung ada di
EXO-M yaitu Xiu Min (1990) dan si maknae ada di EXO-K yaitu Se Hun
(1994). Berikut Profile EXO:

hatiku yang merawat dan menyayangi member lain. Sebagai pemimpin yang
melindungi para member, namaku menjadi Suho (artinya pelindung

PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDIT!!!
ALL ABOUT EXO
Notes:
akhirnya aku paham kenapa SM begitu
memperhatikan EXO, hingga mempromosikan EXO besar-besaran sebelum debut.
Dan jawabannya adalah EXO telah mempunyai fanbase kuat bahkan sebelum
mereka debut, dan juga kita bisa mengenal para membernya sebelum debut,
tentu hal ini memudahkan kita sebagai penonton. Saat debut pun status
mereka memang rookie, tapi berkat banyaknya fans mereka di setarakan
sama seperti kelompok idol yang sudah debut. Sama seperti mengenal Super
Junior dulu, aku pun mendapat kesusahan mengenali, lebih tepatnya
tertukar, tapi berkat adanya teaser film mereka, aku bisa menghafal
mereka dengan cepat.
Aku lebih suka jika mereka dikenal
sebagai EXO, tapi karena mereka terbagi dua jadinya para fans pasti
membandingkan antara EXO-K dan EXO-M, baik dari vokal, dance ataupun
popularitas. Beruntungnya bagi EXO-K, karena video-video performance
mereka sudah banyak di upload ke situs youtube sehingga mau tidak mau
fans dari luar Korea lebih mengenal EXO-K. Untuk kegiatan EXO-M, mereka
lebih banyak menghabiskan masa promo dari satu talkshow ke talkshow yang
lainnya, mereka sering muncul di variety show juga, jadi kelebihan dari
EXO-M adalah cara bicara mereka sudah tertata duluan karena seringnya
di wawancara.
Karena EXO bernaung di bawah agensi besar
yang artis-artisnya menuai kesuksesan jadi member EXO seperti memikul
beban berat, mereka membawa image “harus sukses” karena mereka adalah si
bungsu di SM, mau tidak mau mereka harus sukses atau bahkan lebih dari
senior-senior mereka. Harapan EXO adalah bahwa mereka ingin meraih
penghargaan Best Rookie.
Untuk siapa member favorit (bias), aku
menyukai semuanya bahkan aku masih bingung jika disuruh memilih, tapi
kalo dipaksa memilih yaa aku punya 2 member favorit, dan mereka
sama-sama leader. Yupp aku suka leader EXO-K, yaitu Su Ho dan juga
leader EXO-M yaitu Kris. Aku menyukai 2 orang ini setelah melihat video
showcase mereka, kalo kalian sudah nonton pasti kalian akan tau kenapa
aku bisa menyukai 2 leader ini. Hehehehe 
Untuk mengenal lebih jauh tentang EXO, terutama EXO-K baca artikel dari Koreanindo ini yang menceritakan tentang sekilas kehidupan pribadi EXO dan masa debut serta tujuan masa depan grup EXO.
