EXO breaks new records yet again as it releases its 2nd Christmas mini album "Sing for You." The group had a recent showcase on Naver's V app on December 10 where it peaked at 1.38 million viewers and 74 million hearts by the end of the show.
The global popular group presented their improved vocal skills including Sehun whom the members fondly looked at like proud fathers the moment he started singing. They performed some of the songs in the said album such as the title track "Sing for You," the double of the title track "Unfair," and "On the Snow."
The members also played a quiz into which lead vocal Kyungsoo lost and had to go with Suho, the winner, to ride a Viking in Lotte World where the showcase with the lucky fans took place.
There was also a portion in which the members had to have an honest talk with the fans. The youngest Sehun then playfully whined that those spacesuits in the music video were not part of special effects as he had to wear them during the shoot saying, "I was sweating a lot for those two hours while I was on the wires."
Chinese member Lay used the portion as an opportunity to express his regret for not being there all the time due to his solo promotions in China and his love for his fellow members. "I want to tell the members that I love them, and that I'm sorry," he choked and had to turn around to not let the audience see his tears.
The Korean fans seem to sympathize with Lay as they expressed, "It must be hard for Lay. He's working so hard for both EXO and his Chinese promos. I want to tell him to find strength," and "It must be hard being the only Chinese member but I'm grateful that he's sticking it through."
Meanwhile the album touched the roofs of digital charts as soon as it was released on the night of December 10th. The title tracks "Sing for You" and "Unfair" ranked high on the charts and both the Korean and Chinese versions of the title track even placed first and second on China's "Baidu King" chart.
Lastly, it was announced that part of the proceeds of EXO's Christmas mini album "Sing for You" and TaeTiSeo's "Dear Santa" will be gifted to UNICEF's campaign from SM Entertainment.
