Fans went wild when EXO members appeared onstage on, singing “Love Me Right,” in a concert relayed on V app. The stage was decorated with beautiful blue lights and Christmassy decors, creating a warm, cozy winter mood.

“It’s like a dream to hold a showcase here,” said Suho, adding he always dreamed of making a proposal at a theme park.

Baekhyun agreed, saying he wanted to get a day pass and take rides with his fans.

“I have a fear of heights, so I’ll just take photos of you on the rides,” he added.

When Oh Jung-yeon, who hosted the event, asked EXO about the recent concert in Tokyo Dome, Chen said it was first time for him to see such a big crowd, saying he was really excited. Nicknamed the “Big Egg,” Tokyo Dome is the world’s largest roofed baseball stadium with 55,000 seats in total. Having concerts at the venue reflects the artists’ popularity. It was unprecedented for an overseas act to have a concert at the stadium just 3 years since its debut.

When asked about how they felt about the year, the members talked about what 2015 meant to them.

“We had our second concert in Korea and were the first artist to perform at Korea’s first roofed baseball stadium,” said Suho, adding, “We also got honorable awards recently.”

“I’m turning 23 next year, but I want to get older,” said Sehun, the group’s youngest member. Then there was a big “no” from the crowd. Chanyeol, in response, made jokes about Sehun getting “less cute” as he gets older.

They also unveiled double title tracks from their new album, singing “Sing for You” and “Unfair” at the showcase. Chen introduced the two songs, saying they “contrasted” somewhat.

“Sing for You” is a lyrical ballad tune with sweet acoustic guitar accompaniment, whereas “Unfair” is a pop tune with a trendy, rhythmic melody.

“I always wanted to sing a ballad with the members,” said Baekyun, adding he was surprised at their talent.

The members also had a fun quiz event where they had to answer questions related to each member.

The singers extended their gratitude to their fans. Ray even shed tears as well. The singers raked in 56 million hearts and 1.2 million fans joined in to watch their performance.

2PM member Taecyeon also had a surprise live broadcast early in the morning.

“Recently, I went to Bolivia to shoot KBS documentary ‘Road of Hope,’” said Taecyeon, adding he had also been playing golf lately. “I now have blisters on my hand.” He then interacted with fans, reading their comments and answering their questions.
