K-Pop King EXO Dominates with Sixth Consecutive Sold-Out Concert

K-Pop king EXO has cemented their success by becoming the artist to hold six consecutive sold-out full concerts with their sixth, 'EXO PLANET #6 - EXhOrizon in BANGKOK,' held on Saturday, 16 May 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, 17 May 2026 at 4:00 p.m. at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani. Over 22,000 attendees participated, with all tickets for both shows—including limited-view seats—selling out rapidly on the first day of booking. This once again proves EXO's status as a globally acclaimed artist with an unwaveringly strong Thai fan base.


This return to the Thailand stage marked EXO's first full concert in 6 years and 8 months, under the title 'EXhOrizon,' a blend of 'EXO' and 'Horizon,' symbolizing the reunion of EXO and their official fans, EXO-L, to open a new chapter together. Every member devoted themselves fully to the performance, prioritizing their fans by delivering their distinctive vocal power, dynamic performances, and spectacular production featuring large LED screens, sliding and see-through screens, a rotating stage with lifts, various LED lifts, lasers, moon and castle set pieces with lighting, mirror balls, kinetic balls, Kabuki drop curtains with projection mapping, as well as pyrotechnics, confetti cannons, fog machines, low smoke effects, bubble machines, and stage props to create an immersive experience throughout the show.


EXO's universe was fully unveiled through key symbols such as a total lunar eclipse, each member's unique powers, and the tree of life, reviving the spirit of EXO PLANET with the powerful beat of 'MAMA,' surrounded by dancers in black cloaks. This transitioned into 'Monster' amid roaring cheers, then intensified with a large moon fusion scene and red beams filling the arena during '늑대와 미녀 (Wolf)' and '중독 (Overdose).'

EXO then raised the show's intensity with mature and sophisticated charm through performances of 'PLAYBOY,' 'Artificial Love,' '전야 (前夜) (The Eve),' and 'Love Shot,' before treating fans to a parade of beloved hits including a medley of title tracks like 'Tempo,' 'Ko Ko Bop,' 'CALL ME BABY,' as well as 'LOVE ME RIGHT' and '으르렁 (Growl),' which fans enthusiastically sang along to, followed by an energetic EDM medley of 'Power,' 'Don’t fight the feeling,' and 'Run.'


Additionally, solo performances highlighted each member's unique charm, enriching the show’s appeal: 'Total Eclipse' showcased SUHO's emotional vocal power; 'Gravity' combined CHANYEOL's intense allure; KAI captivated with fluid dance in '지킬 (Jekyll)'; SEHUN displayed fiery energy in 'Artificial Love'; and 'Baby, Don’t Cry (인어의 눈물)' presented warm chemistry between SUHO and D.O. The concert continued with the touching '기억을 걷는 밤 (Walk On Memories),' featuring projected memories on the Kabuki curtain, and '나비소녀 (Don’t Go)' performed on a rotating stage surrounded by striking butterfly-shaped laser lights.

The concert's grand finale befitting the K-Pop king began with 'EL DORADO,' featuring laser lights unveiling a magnificent golden castle and light swords, followed by a powerful group dance in 'Back It Up.' It continued with 'Forever,' where a crown symbolized “a precious treasure to protect,” then transitioned into the latest title track 'Crown,' reaffirming their return to the throne and perfectly elevating the night to its peak.


A memorable highlight enriching the concert's meaning was the fan projects by Thai EXO-Ls, who expressed their love and anticipation through various initiatives over the two days. These included banners with messages like “This home always welcomes EXO” and “No matter how much time passes, EXO remains the king of Thai EXO-L,” coordinated light box formations, fan light frames shaped like houses and crowns, and vinyl banners reading “YOU ARE OUR PETERPAN, WE ARE YOUR TINKERBELL” and “Though we speak different languages and live apart, meeting EXO is truly a blessing and joy.”

Throughout the 24-song, two-and-a-half-hour performance, EXO not only delivered a grand stage worthy of anticipation but also demonstrated growth from experience, a deep bond with fans, and their distinct worldview. Every element—from vocals, performances, production, lighting, sound, to symbolism—crafted a moment where EXO and EXO-L reunited as one, creating new memories etched gracefully in the history of the K-Pop king's reign.
