With the record-high number of views, EXO has also become SM Entertainment‘s first boy band to reach the count.

“Monster” is one of two lead tracks from EXO’s album titled “EX’ACT,” which sold over a million copies and earned the group several first prizes at year-end shows.

Including “Monster,” which passed the 100 million bar in February last year, EXO has several other songs that have secured more than 100 million views. They include “Overdose,” ”Growl,” ”Call Me Baby,” “Wolf” and “Ko Ko Bop.”

Other K-pop musicians, who have previously surpassed 200 million views include PSY, BTS, Big Bang, Twice, Black Pink, Girls’ Generation, 2NE1, and GOT7.

Meanwhile, EXO is to hold concerts between July 13-15 at Gocheok Sky Dome.
