Jilbabers Nhan Brutalzt: Alasan EXO dijuluki “The Scary Rookie”

Today there’s no one who didn’t know EXO, I mean EXO, the boys who came from EXO Planet. When I’m talkin’ bout EXO. That means I’m talking about the twelve extremely-good looking boy with extra ordinary performances (aiiishh I know that’s lil bit exaggeration). But, semua pasti setuju kalau boyband asuhan SM Entertainment yang popularitasnya tengah meroket ini, lagi digandrungi remaja di berbagai belahan bumi. Oke, siapa yang gak tahu sama, Xiumin, Luhan, Kris, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O, Tao, Kai and Sehun? Familiar? Gak tau sama sekali?? Ckckck… feel sorry about you

Bagi yang tahu, pasti one of them adalah bias kalian atau bisa jadi semuanya adalah bias kalian, karena it feels so hard to make one choice diantara pria-pria dashing itu.

Rookie sendiri artinya pendatang baru, secara, EXO baru resmi debut pada 8 April 2012 yang lalu, yaaa udah sekitar setahun lebih lah pasca debut mereka, tapi coba lihat perhargaan dan prestasi yang sudah mereka capai sampai saat ini, udah bejibun!

here they are the reason why EXO were the scary rookie among the others…

Gak banyak boyband baru yang bisa mendulang prestasi sebanyak itu di awal kemunculan mereka, bahkan penghargaan EXO sampai overseas lho, Itu baru pasca debut mereka dengan beberapa hit single seperti, What Is Love, History and Mama. Setelah penantian panjang, mereka akhirnya comeback di awal Juni 2013 dengan merilis The 1^st Album XOXO (Kiss&Hug) dan Repackagednya di awal Agustus. Dan album ini pun meledak di pasaran hingga mencapai lebih dari 740.000 copy dan merupakan yang pertama dalam sejarah artis Kpop semenjak tahun 2001. Hit single mereka “Wolf” berhasil menyabet Triple Win, dengan memenangkan posisi pertama di tiga acara musik dari tiga stasiun siaran utama yang berbeda dalam seminggu yakni di MBC ‘Music Core’, KBS ‘Music Bank’, dan SBS ‘Inkigayo’. Kemudian disusul dengan hit anyar andalan mereka “Growl” yang menyapu bersih peringkat pertama berturut-turut di MBC ‘Music Core’ dan KBS ‘Music Bank’, belum lagi mereka juga memenangkan Triple Crown di SBS ‘Inkigayo’ dan Mnet ‘M Countdown’. Inilah buah atas kerja keras mereka selama ini dalam memberikan penampilkan yang terbaik.

Gak berhenti di situ saja, kesuksesan The 1^st Album XOXO (Kiss&Hug)+Repackaged telah menghantarkan EXO ke ajang penghargaan internasional bergengsi lainnya, seperti:

Yang paling bikin amaze adalah EXO bisa masuk nominasi ajang MTV EMA 2013! Padahal mereka baru satu tahun debut, dan berhasil memenangkan kategori Best Korean Act, kemudian menanjak naik masuk nominasi Worldwide Act, dan gak main-main, EXO bersaing dengan Justin Bieber, One Direction yang notabene juga punya fandom terbesar yang tidak perlu diragukan lagi jumlahnya. Belum lagi EXO ditunjuk untuk mewakili KPop dan Korea dalam event '2013 KAZAN Summer Universiade' yang diselenggarakan di Rusia. Ini menunjukkan bahwa Exo mulai menarik perhatian dunia, bukan hanya di kawasan Asia saja, tapi mulai merambah ke benua Eropa dan Amerika juga sekitarnya.

Alright, itu aja dulu yang dibahas, Part selanjutya coming soon...^^
