EXO became the first Korean artist to sell over 1 million albums after 12 years.

Until today, December 27, S.M Entertainment announced that more than 1 million copies of EXO’s first complete album ‘XOXO (Kiss&Hug) were sold out. Accordingly, the first complete album sold 471,570 copies (released on June 03) and its repackage album sold 536,007 copies (released on August 05), spreading the "EXO syndrome" in music industry in 2013.

It is the important milestone for EXO because they are the 1st artist who sold over 1 million albums since the last record of Kim Gun Mo and G.O.D in 2001.

Currently, EXO is not only getting attention in Korea, but also from overseas, especially the biggest music markets like the United States, Japan, China. This record could be a positive alarm that EXO will grow as the biggest Asian star.

Meanwhile, EXO will attend three music awards held by KBS, SBS and MBC at the end of the year and close up the work in 2013
