Exo Quiz – Superpowers, Growl and K-Pop Records

EXO debuted under SM Entertainment in 2012 as two subunits, EXO-K, singing in Korean, and EXO-M, singing in Mandarin. Their concept gave each member a fictional superpower from an imagined world, such as Kai's teleportation and Chanyeol's fire.

Growl, from 2013, became famous for its one-take music video, and the album XOXO sold over a million copies, a rare milestone in K-pop at the time. Their fans are called EXO-L.
