In 2016, the group set a record when they sold over 2.13 million albums overall. Earlier this year, EXO gained the title of “quadruple million seller” in just 24 days after “The War” was released on July 19.

Meanwhile, EXO will be releasing their annual winter special album on December 21, and will also be continuing their fourth concert tour “EXO PLANET #4 – The EℓyXiOn” with concerts in Fukuoka on December 22-24.
