EXO Become K-pop Stars In China After Healing From Kris’ Sudden Leave

Boy group EXO has officially broken into the Chinese music industry as one of the top K-pop stars in the industry.

The boys of EXO will be making an appearance on the Chinese network Hunan TV's 2014 Mid-Autumn Festival, which is set to air on September 8 at 9PM local time, according to Allkpop.

The highly anticipated festival is expected to be watched by a large number of fans as the program will be airing on a major holiday in China, according to the Korean publication Osen. EXO have become international superstars since debuting, creating a fan base outside of Korea as well.

"First of all, we'd like to say that we're really honored and we'd like to thank our fans all around the world. Right now, we just want to keep working hard," stated EXO during an interview with Billboard when their single "Growl" went viral.

This is the second time the members of EXO will be performing for their Chinese fans on a major holiday in the country. The idol group also performed at Hunan TV's The Lantern Festival 2014 special in February as well.

EXO will be performing their hit songs "Growl" and "Overdose" at the upcoming event, according to their management agency SM Entertainment.

Before the event, the 11-member K-pop group will continue their tour "EXO from EXOPLANET #1 - The Lost Planet" in Jakarta, Indonesia on September 6.

EXO recently bounced back from a difficult time after their fellow member Kris decided to leave the group followed by a lawsuit against their management agency.

"All of the members are having a difficult time and are hurt by this. It is sad that this happened right before our concert, which we have been dreaming about for a long time," Chen told the Chinese news outlet QQ during the time of the incident.

"It is very bewildering that such a thing has happened. But even during a time like this, our eleven members will unite and put everything into preparing for our concert to keep our promise to our fans. We are one!," Xiumin explained.
