After the completion of their Exo’lution tour, they were able to sell 740,000 tickets and perform a total 44 concerts in 12 countries making it their largest tour to date.
EXO is also the first Korean band to ever receive an American Music Award.
They were able to release 21 singles and four studio albums, the fourth of which, titled “The War” became their best-selling album with almost 1.6 million copies sold.
In a press conference held at the Burj Khalifa, EXO said they would like to return to the UAE for a concert soon.
“We want to come back again here to perform our next concert and sing our next song. So, wait for us, okay? Wait for us. We hope to see you again,” Suho, one of the band members, said.
