EXO has raised the curtain on their sixth solo concert tour. From April 10 to 12, 'EXO PLANET #6 - EXhOrizon in SEOUL' was held at the KSPO DOME in Songpa District, Seoul. All seats, including restricted view seats, sold out over the three days, attracting more than 32,000 spectators. Additionally, the final day's performance was live-streamed online through Beyond LIVE and Weverse, allowing fans worldwide to enjoy it together. This performance was particularly significant as it was the first in 6 years and 4 months, and the concert name 'EXhOrizon', combining 'EXO' and 'Horizon', symbolizes the beginning of a new world when EXO and EXO-L (EXO's fans) unite. The members prioritized their fans and poured their hearts into the preparation. In addition to EXO's signature powerful vocals and performances, the show featured conceptual productions based on a unique worldview, including 'Tree of Life', a total eclipse, a red aura, and member-specific superpowers, enhancing the overall quality. EXO made a grand opening with 'MAMA' alongside a group draped in capes and performed hit songs like 'Monster', 'Overdose', 'Growl', and 'Love Shot', as well as an EDM medley including 'Power', 'Don't fight the feeling', and 'Run', and a title song medley with 'Tempo', 'Ko Ko Bop', and 'CALL ME BABY', eliciting continuous cheers. The stage also showcased grand performances like 'EL DORADO' against a golden temple backdrop, 'Don't Go' with flower-shaped lifts and laser-mapped butterflies, 'Forever' creating an immersive narrative with a crown as an object, 'Crown' with a heavy ending while climbing aerial stairs, 'Back It Up' featuring 20 dancers in explosive choreography, and 'Crazy' displaying restrained sexy beauty, all signaling the 'return of the king'. Furthermore, special stages highlighted individual member charms, such as 'Total Eclipse' completed by Suho's passionate vocals, 'Gravity' with Chanyeol's intense rap and dance break, Kai's 'Jekyll' featuring eye-catching choreography with fabric dolls, Sehun's standout performance in 'Artificial Love', and the chemistry between Suho and D.O. in 'Baby, Don't Cry'. Towards the end of the performance, the members, with tears in their eyes, expressed, 'We were worried about this long-awaited performance, but seeing your smiles gave us strength. EXO-L is like the four seasons to us. We are grateful for your unwavering love for 14 years.' They added, 'If there is an eternity, it would be our story, and it was possible thanks to everyone who has kept that place until now. We want to walk on stage with you for a lifetime.' EXO is set to embark on a concert tour covering 14 regions worldwide, including Seoul. In April, they will visit Ho Chi Minh City, followed by Nagoya, Taipei, Bangkok, and Macau in May, Osaka, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur in June, and Manila, Tokyo, Kaohsiung, and Singapore in July to meet fans globally.
