EXO-K successfully concludes ‘MAMA’ debut by surpassing 100,000 units in sales


SM Entertainment‘s rookie group EXO-K has wrapped up their Korean ‘MAMA‘ promotions to outstanding achievements on the charts.

Since its release on April 9th, their debut mini-album ‘MAMA’ has sold a total of 100,612, a significant number considering that they’re a rookie group that has managed to cross the 100,000 mark in just two months.

This number added with EXO-M‘s ‘MAMA’, which amounts to a total of 51,643 units, brings the grand total to 152,255 units, making them the biggest selling rookie group of 2012 so far.

Their success should come to no surprise since they had 100 days of online promotions before their debut, along with CF deals for brands like ‘Calvin Klein‘ and ‘Ivy Club‘ shortly after their debut.

The members expressed, “Our debut promotion was a precious time where we were able to learn and feel many things. Thank you to all of our fans for their support. We will use this experience as a stepping stone to improving ourselves in the future. We ask for your continuing interest and support.”

Having concluded their promotions last week, EXO-K will be focusing on their international activities and productions for their next album.

SM & TS Entertainment’s marketing tactics help new boy groups gain foothold


2012 will usher in an influx of boy groups, and many are looking forward to seeing which ones will come out on top. To stand out from the crowd, a strong marketing plan is crucial for success.  SM Entertainment and TS Entertainment seem to be well aware of this fact, as they’ve already implemented methods to promote their newly-formed boy groups.

SM Entertainment recently kicked off promotions for their new boy group, EXO-K and EXO-M, with a slick and sexy teaser of member Kai. In his intro clip, 17-year-old Kai (who has a height of 182 cm) showcased a variety of dance skills such as jazz, pop-n-lock, and hip hop. The video garnered over 800,000 views on YouTube, and was even listed under the ‘Most Viewed’ category on the 1st page.

This strong reaction (and subsequent level of anticipation) can be attributed to two marketing ploys: release a visually-appealing video with an exhibition of skills to draw interest, but keep biographical information to a minimum, so that the idol (and group) gains more attention through mystery.


TS Entertainment has also implemented a unique marketing method to spread awareness of their upcoming boy group, B.A.P.  Instead of releasing teasers one by one, the label has been promoting the group through individual member activities. For example, Bang Yong Guk was featured in Song Ji Eun‘s ‘Going Crazy‘ and drew much attention for his impressive rap skills. He’s also been guesting on MBC‘s ‘LalaLulu‘, to gain more TV air time.

TS Entertainment also formed a sub-unit group with Bang Yong Guk and Zelo, another member of B.A.P. They are currently promoting ‘Never Give Up‘ and are steadily gaining a large fanbase.

In addition, B.A.P plans to debut through a large-scale performance in a gymnasium that can hold up to 3,000 seats.

A representative of TS Entertainment revealed, “Although they are a rookie group, if we spread their awareness before the debut, it will help their promotion activities greatly.  Bang Yong Guk has already generated over 10,000 followers on Twitter and is becoming quite popular.  As the anticipation continues to build, a large-scale promotion is being put to use.”

SM introduces new boy group member, Kai


Yesterday, we reported that SM Entertainment set up a countdown timer for their new idol group.

On December 23rd, SM introduced Kai, the first member of EXO. Judging from the teaser clip, he’s quite the fluid dancer, and is sure to capture many fangirls’ hearts with his mysterious charisma.

SM had explained that they were going debut a Korean-Chinese boy group who would come out with the same song on the same day. It seems that the Korean group will be called EXO-K, while the Chinese group will be called EXO-M (much like how ‘M’ stood for ‘Mandarin’ in Super Junior-M).
