EXO

           From Left to Right: Kris, Chan Yeol, Se Hun, D.O., Lay,
          Lu Han, Kai, Su Ho, Chen, Xiu Min, Baek Hyun, and Tao

EXO is a Korean Pop (K-Pop) boy band. In 2012, the group debuted with twelve members (each were given a stage name), four of whom are Chinese while the other eight are Korean. The Chinese members are Wu Yi Fan (Kris), Xi Lu Han (Lu Han), Huang Zi Tao (Tao), and Zhang Yi Xing (Lay). The Korean members are Kim Min Seok (Xiu Min), Kim Jun Myeon (Su Ho), Byun Baek Hyun (BaekHyun), Kim Jong Dae (Chen), Park Chan Yeol (Chan Yeol), Do Kyung Soo(D.O.), Kim Jong In (Kai), and Oh Se Hun (Se Hun). Today, nine members remain with the exception of Kris, Lu Han, and Tao.

The twelve members were split into two sub-groups: EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K would sing in Korean and EXO-M in Mandarin. K included Su Ho, Baek Hyun, Chan Yeol, D.O., Kai, and Se Hun. M's members were Kris, Lu Han, Tao, Lay, Xiu Min, and Chen. The members were asked which group they wanted to belong to. While the Chinese members, Xiu Min, and Chen chose M, the remaining six Korean members chose K.

For some concerts or special appearances, both groups would come together to form the main group. When recording music tracks for an album, each sub-group would make the same song but in their group's language. After Kris left in early 2014, M still sang in Mandarin on new music tracks. After Lu Han left later that year, some K members would perform on the Korean and Mandarin versions of songs. When Tao left the following year, the sub-groups were scrapped and the remaining nine members still record new music but in both Korean and Mandarin.

Some of EXO's songs to have been released on CD include “MAMA”, “Growl”, “Call Me Baby”, and “Monster”, the latest being “Lotto”. The latest song that EXO has come out with that has not been released on CD but is on their YouTube page as a music video is “Dancing King”, a collaboration that features Yoo Jae Suk.

EXO FROM EXO PLANET #1: THE LOSTPLANET and EXO PLANET#2: The EXO'luXion are concerts that have been released on DVD. THE LOST PLANET was released in 2015 and EXO'luXion was released in 2016. The group is currently touring their latest show titled EXO PLANET #3: The EXO'rDIUM.

WFRN's Friend Fest - 2012

This past weekend, WFRN's first Friend Fest took place at Amish Acres in Nappanee, Ind. Artists included Casting Crowns, Mandisa and Sixteen Cities. On Friday around five, I could hear the sound system be tested. From six to midnight was the concert while the one on Saturday went from eleven in the morning to eleven thirty that night. After the final song was performed by Casting Crowns, fireworks were set off to signal the end of Friend Fest.

Though the concert was on Friday and Saturday and I did not go, it turned out well. I know that it turned out well given the fact I live behind Amish Acres. From inside the house, I was able to hear the bands perform and the crowd cheer while feeling the bass. When driving passed the park's playground, you could see that there were a lot of vehicles. As I drove along the south and west sides of Amish Acres before turning around, I could see many more vehicles. There were also vehicles parked across the street on the west side. As I was getting back onto U.S. 6 after having turned around, I saw more vehicles entering Amish Acres.

Here is the full list of those who performed on the Main Stage: Reilly, Hyland, Stellar Kart, Sidewalk Prophets, Sanctus Real, Crowder, Sixteen Cities, Ashes Remain, 7eventh Time Down, Jamie Jamgochian, Chris McClarney, Jeremy Riddle, Jared Anderson, Speaker Clayton King, Jared, Mandisa, Tenth Avenue North and Casting Crowns.

Here is the full list of those who performed on the Coffee House Stage: Marta Koonce, Madisyn, Our Heart Remains, 7eventh Time Down, Sixteen Cities, Tom "The Illusionist" Coverly, Cody Collier, Sing Love Sing, Bethel College Praise Band, Reilly, Southgate Church w/ Vincy, Karyn Williams, Ashes Remain, Moriah Peters and WatersEdge.

The next WFRN Friend Fest will be held once again in Nappanee at Amish Acres on the 21st and 22nd of June, 2013.
