EXO group members are all Top Models and Fashion Icons, and have modelled for some of the top designers in the world and been endorsed by many top global brands!
EXO has quietly built a strong legacy of charity, with SM Entertainment donating over 1.2 billion won through the Smile for U program with UNICEF to bring music education to underprivileged children in Vietnam and the Philippines. The group donated all profits from their 2017 collab “Dancing King” (32 million won) to the Beautiful Foundation to support youth leaving orphanages, while individual members have given tens of millions each year to children’s hospitals, scholarships, hearing-impaired kids, wildfire relief and in 2025 they donated HK$500,000 via the Korean Red Cross to support relief and reconstruction efforts for victims of the major tower fire in Hong Kong.
They excel in consistent, low-key giving that matches their powerhouse image!
From a 12-member rookie group debuting in 2012 with the modest mini-album 'Mama', EXO has come incredibly far, shattering All Time records, becoming the first 21st-century Asian act to hit 10 million cumulative sales. Through lineup changes, military service, and shifting trends, they’ve delivered consistent dominance, scoring multiple Daesangs, sold-out world tours, and a powerful 2026 comeback with “Crown” sweeping music show grand slams, proving their legacy only grows stronger after 14 years.
