K-pop Faceoff: EXO vs Infinite

Here it is, the battle you've all been waiting for. SM Entertainment's EXO vs Woolim Entertainment's Infinite are the two biggest boybands out right now who are neck in neck in popularity. Who is the bigger group? Who has the most fans? Who has won more awards? So many questions and yet it will only be answered with your voice. Let's start this faceoff, shall we?

We thought SM's secret weapon was Super Junior all along and just when we thought he had no more amo left, he comes out with EXO and the world implodes. The Korean-Chinese boy band was formed in 2011 and is made up of 12 members who are separated into two subgroups: Exo-K and Exo-M. They debuted in 2012 and since their popularity has exploded into the universe. Here's a factual list of their accomplishments thus far in just two years:

  • EXO-M's "Mama" topped mainland Chinese music charts just one day after its release.
  • EXO-K's "Mama" shot up to the #7 spot on YouTube's Global Chart.
  • Both groups' albums were hugelyl successful and sold over 1.5 million units in total worldwide.
  • They've won every award imaginable on all of Korea's huge music shows and climbed Billboard's Korean K-pop Hot 100 chart.
  • In total, they've received 13 awards from China and South Korea since their debut in 2012!
  • They've been featured in magazines and did a featured spread for Calvin Klein Jeans.
  • They've also found commercial success, including an ad for Samsung Activ PC which EXO-K shot for.

Woolim Entertainment scored huge with their 7-member group, Infinite. Together, they've sold over 160,000 copies of their mini album, "New Challenge" which made them the 4th biggest selling album of the year! They are charismatic, talented, and known for their perfectly synchronized choreography. These guys are huge and though they debuted in 2010, they've made huge strides, especially coming from an agency that isn't one of the "Big 3" in the industry. Here's a factual list of their accomplishments thus far in just three years:

  • They've been the recipients of 2 Disk Bonsang Awards, Hallyu Icon Award, and Best Group Performance at the Golden Disk Awards.
  • They recently won the Best Male Group and Sony MDR World Wide Performer at the MAMA Award.
  • They were the winners of the Group Musician of the Year by Netizens award at the Korean Music Awards in 2012.
  • And the award goes on and on because Infinite is just that awesome!
  • They are currently on their first world tour called, "One Great Step."
