Mereka diberitahu kalau mereka akan menjadi satu tim yaitu EXO-K (Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai, Sehun), dimana mereka semua bergabung di SM Entertainment sebagai trainee. Chanyeol mengungkapkan “Tentu saja aku bahagia hanya dengan fakta kalau aku akan debut, tetapi aku lebih bahagia lagi ketika aku tahu aku akan satu tim dengan mereka yang selalu dekat denganku” dan “Pertemanan kami dimulai sejak hari-hari kami menjadi trainee, di hari liburpun kami suka pergi keluar bersama-sama”.
‘MAMA’ menghidupkan kembali SMP… “Sudah tidak jaman? Justru sebenarnya menyegarkan”
Kalian terikat dengan nama ‘trainee’ tetapi di situasi ketika kalian tidak tahu siapa yang akan debut terlebih dahulu, atau tanpa mengetahui kami akan mundur sebelumnya, kamu tidak bisa menghindari kompetisi yang ada. Tetapi EXO-K berkata “Bukannya malah bersaing, kami malah menghabiskan banyak waktu bersama dengan teman seumuran kami” dan “Kami juga merasa seperti kami saling dekat dengan satu sama lain. Itu seperti pertemanan dimana kami semua melepaskan stres bersama-sama seperti layaknya keluarga”.
Dengan lirik yang berbau sosial, vokal yang seperti teriakan, suara impresif pada lagu debut EXO-K yang dapat kita dengar adalah khasnya style SMP. Mereka bangga dapat menunjukkan SMP ini setelah waktu yang panjang, tetapi tekananpun juga besar.
Kai berkata “Karena kami datang membawa penampilan khasnya SM, kami sangat bangga” dan “Setelah berada disini cukup lama, kami juga berpikir banyak tentang ‘ayo lakukan yang terbaik’”. Chanyeol menambahkan “Tetapi kami juga tertekan karen senior-senior kami sudah memuka jalur K-POP dan Hallyu wave dengan baik, bagaimana kalau kami jatuh disitu? Makanya kami berlatih keras” dan ”Kalian boleh berpikir kalau SMP sudah tidak jaman lagi tetapi kami justru berpikir kalau itu menyegarkan”.
Ketika mereka ditanya tentang ‘tindakan aneh yang mereka lakukan’… “Kami tertangkap sedang membuat dan memakan Dalgona*”
EXO-K telah debut dengan showcase besar-besaran setelah 100 hari promosi. Setiap minggu mereka muncul di program-program musik dan mereka memiliki lebih banyak jadwal juga tetapi mereka berkata kalau mereka sempat menonton film di waktu senggang. Mereka bilang kalau mereka bersenang-senang menonton Avengers beberapa hari yang lalu dan dengan satu suara mereka menambahkan dengan sungguh-sungguh “Kami pikir kami juga memiliki kekuatan super. Kami hanya tidak tahu saja tentang itu.”
Karena ketika dipanggung mereka harus menyampaikan kesan yang mendalam dan menunjukkan penampilan yang tangguh, sehari sebelum interview ini, ketika mereka diperintah “ayo tersenyum” untuk photoshoot, mereka menjadi agak canggung. Tetapi kalau kalian bertemu mereka di kehidupan nyata, mereka cenderung seperti orang yang suka jail dibanding berkarisma seperti yang ada dipanggung. Mereka berkata “Aku akan berlari lalu kembali” dan pergi ke sungai Han, dengan riang gembira bersepda, dan ketika mereka latihan mereka bermain ‘The roses of Sharon have blossomed’**. Mereka bahkan suatu saat dimarahi karena mereka ketahuan membuat dan memakan Dalgona diam-diam di dorm. Ketika mendengar itu, kami langsung dapat merasakan sebagaimana innocent mereka.
Kai menjelaskan pesona yang dimiliki EXO-K “Ketika kami turun panggung, kepribadian kami sebenarnya tidak setangguh seperti lagunya” dan “Karena perbedaan antara di panggung dan kehidupan sehari-hari kami sangat besar, tidakkah fans justru merasa lebih terpesona lagi?”. EXO-K menambahkan ”Pesona kami adalah menunjukkan sisi innocent kami dibawah penampilan karismatik dan dingin di panngung”.
Hanya dua bulan setelah mereka debut, mereka akan berpartisipasi
di SM Town concert di Amerika Serikat “Tentu saja kami sangat sangat
gembira”
Pada tanggal 20 Mei, EXO-K akan merasakan sesuatu yang baru. Mereka akan berdiri di panggung SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR III di LA di California’s Honda Center di Amerika Serikat. Mereka akan bersama-sama dengan senior mereka seperti DBSK, Super Junior, SNSD, f(x), dll, untuk konser di Amerika Serikat, hanya 50 hari setelah mereka debut.
Chanyeol tidak menyembunyikan kegembiraannya, ia mengatakan “Aku sudah pernah datang ke SM Town concert di Korea sebagai penonton. Aku berpikir ‘Kapan kami dapat berdiri di panggung ini juga suatu saat? Aku harap kami dapat tampil disana’ tetapi sekarang kami berkesempatan untuk itu” dan “Ditambah lagi ini akan diadakan di Amerika Serikat. Itu adalah sebuah kehormatan dan aku sangat sangat excited”.
Kai menambahi, “Akan ada banyak kesempatan untuk tampil di atas panggung kedepannya tetapi kupikir akan sangat baik kalau kami bisa berdiri di panggung, kami berenam untuk suatu musikal dan juga dengan cerita” dan “Juga dengan EXO-M, aku ingin melakukan seperti musikal di panggung, kami berduabelas”.
EXO-K mendeskripsikan diri mereka sebagai ‘Bintang baru dan misterius dari dunia tak dikenal’. Mereka menjelaskan “Berakting, berada di variety show, kami akan menjadi grup yang terus menerus menerima tantangan di berbagai bidang”,”EXO akan menjadi grup yang abadi dan kami akan membuat musik EXO dikenali seluruh dunia”. Image yang sudah mereka tunjukkan sampai sekarang hanyalah permulaan dari apa yang dapat mereka lakukan. Kami sangat menunggu ‘kemampuan yang tidak diketahui’ yang akan EXO-K tunjukkan.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
The members of the rookie group EXO-K have a few common points. First
they all started to dream of becoming singers since elementary school,
secondly they all went through a trainee life until their debut; they
all believed firmly that they could do it.
They were told they were going to be in one team EXO-K (Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai, Sehun), who all joined SM Entertainment as trainees. Chanyeol revealed “I was of course happy just at the fact I was going to debut but I was even happier I’d be in one team with them whom I was always close with”and “Our relationship is the kind that starting from our trainee days, even during our days off we would hang out together”.
‘MAMA’ revives the SMP… “It’s out of season? It’s rather refreshing”
You’re tied with the name ‘trainee’ but in a situation where you don’t know who’ll debut first, or without knowing if you’ll die out beforehand, you can’t avoid the competition. But EXO-K said “Rather than rivals, it was friends around the same age we were spending a lot of time with” and “We also felt like we were all attached to each other. It was a relationship where we were all releasing stress together in a family-like mood”.
With social lyrics, vocals like screams, the imposing sound that EXO-K’s debut song ‘MAMA’ lets us hear is typically the SMP (Reporter’s note-It’s the name of SM Entertainment’s unique Music Performance) style. They’re proud to show this SMP after a long time but the pressure is also big.
Kai said “Because we’re coming out with SM’s trademark performance, we’re really proud” and “After being here for quite a long time, we also think a lot ‘let’s do well’”. Chanyeol added “But we were also pressured because our singer seniors opened the K-POP and Hallyu wave’s path well, what if we fall short on it? So we practiced hard” and “You can think that it’s (the SMP) out of season but we’d rather think it’s refreshing”.

When they were asked about ‘their strongest act of deviance’ … “We got caught making and eating Dalgona”
EXO-K had their debut with a big scale showcase after their 100 days promotion. Every week they appear on music programs and they have a lot more on their schedules too but they said they were watching movies during their free time. They said they had fun watching <Avengers> lately and in one voice, they added seriously “We think we have superpowers too. We just don’t know about it”.
Because on stage they have to leave a deep impression and show a strong performance, that day before the <Oh My Star> interview, when they were told “let’s smile” during the photoshoot, EXO-K were somewhat awkward. But if you meet them in real life, they’re closer to pranksters than to the charismatic image on stage. They say “I’ll run and come back” and go to the Han river, joyfully ride bicycles, and when they’re practicing they play <The roses of Sharon have blossomed> (T/N: It’s the game Grandma’s Footsteps). They were even once scolded because they got caught making and eating Dalgona (T/N: Dalgona is a kind of candy you make with baking powder) secretly at the dorm, when we heard that we could really feel their innocence.
Kai explained EXO-K’s charms “When we come off stage, our real personalities aren’t as strong as the song” and “Because the gap between the stage and our daily lives is big, won’t the fans feel even more of our charms?”. EXO-K added “Our charm is showing our innocent image under our charismatic and cool image on stage”.

Only two months after their debut, they go to the SM Town concert in the US “We’re very very excited of course”
On May 20th, EXO-K are experiencing something new. They will stand on <SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR III in LA>’s stage at California’s Honda Center in the US. They will be with the company’s seniors such as DBSK, Super Junior, SNSD, f(x), etc. for a concert in the US, only 50 days after debuting.
Chanyeol didn’t hide his excitement, he said “I’ve already attended an SM Town concert in Korea as a spectator. I was wondering ‘Will we be able to stand on this stage too someday? I wish we could perform’ but we already get to stand there” and “Moreover it’s in the US. It’s an honor and I’m very very excited”.
Kai added “There will be a lot of opportunities to perform on stage in the future but I think it’d be nice if we could stand on stage, the 6 of us to do a musical with a story too” and “With EXO-M (EXO-K’s brother group, debuted and promoting in China) too, I want to do something like a musical on stage, the 12 of us”.
EXO-K describe themselves as ‘Mysterious and new stars from an unknown world’. They said resolvingly“Acting, variety, we will become a group that challenges constantly various fields”, “EXO will be a group that lasts forever and we will make EXO’s music known to the whole world”. The image they have showed until now is only the very start of what they can do. We’re looking forward to the unknown ‘abilities’ EXO-K will show.
