EXO-M's popularity in China

SM Entertainment’s new boy group EXO-M, who debuted with Korean counterpart EXO-K, showed just how fairly popular they are  in China yesterday. The boys participated in the recording of variety show Happy Camp in Changsha, attracting a huge group of fans in the actual shooting site. 

Lay, who happened to be from ChangSha, was particularly happy that he's returning home. “I am always homesick, thus felt much honored that I can film a program back home. I have already called my family, but I do not have time to return home.”

EXO-M officially announced their debut on April 1 in BeiJing. Although they have only debuted for less than a month, they already made quite a name for themselves. They attracted a lot of fans who welcomed them at the airport when they arrived from Korea. A large amount of fans gathered outside the building of Hunan Broadcasting Station even before 3PM. Some fans also claim that “Numerous fans from Russia, Malaysia and Taiwan actually rushed here.” Their popularity can also be seen from the prices of the tickets. When some reporters went forward to ask, one of the scalpers was exceptionally excited and shared,“Because of EXO and Show Luo, tickets sold today was the most expensive ever since the program started. Korean artists are pretty good (when it comes to selling tickets), it was pretty hot for HanGeng and Lee Minho last year. However, EXO is even better.”

When asked about their future advancements in China, they expressed that they are still planning for their long term, future advancements' path. Even though the competition between boy groups are tough, they shared that they'd still work hard and that they would always keep in mind the advices they always get from their seniors. "At the moment, the most important is to let more Chinese-pop fans know us and listen to our music."

Meanwhile, it also appeared that their hard work and dedication was much appreciated by one of Happy Camp's PDs.

The PD wrote on hiw Wiebo, “Finished satisfactorily! Finally can enjoy a bowl of noodles after the recording and the wrap-up meeting! ~@EXO-M’s today’s performance was very good.
