The eleven-member boy group, under the biggest talent outfit in Korea SM Entertainment, kicked off with the China edition of their 'EXO: The Lost Planet' world tour last June 14 of this year in Wuhan. The Changsha concert was the seventh show of the China leg which included Chongqing, Hong Kong, Chengdu and several other cities.
Fans in Changsha have been keeping a close watch on the group since their arrival at the airport to the end of the concert, showing their support for their favorite band.
Prior to the concert, long lines of fans who came to see the concert could be seen outside the venue, waiting for the organizers to allow their entrance into the sports center.
The event was quite special for the group since they held the concert in Changsha which happens to be the hometown of one of the Chinese members Zhang Yi Xing, otherwise known as Lay.
EXO opened their concert at 8:00 pm China Standard Time, performing a tribal version of their 2012 debut song 'Mama', followed by special performances from each of the members.
The group had been suffering some major and minor set-backs since May when their twelfth member, another Chinese national, Wu 'Kris' Yi Fan left the group without prior notice.
Furthermore, reliable sources said Chinese members Huang Zi Tao and Lu Han were ill during the concert with the latter suffering from an injury he sustained from filming a Korean variety show he made a guest appearance on recently.
These incidents forced them to change the choreography for the night's show, but despite everything, tickets flew off the counters like hot pancakes and they've managed to fill the venue with their audience.
EXO debuted in April 2012 and is divided into two subgroups EXO-K and EXO-M, catering to the Korean and Chinese music market respectively.
The members are currently engaged in solo activities with EXO-K scheduled to fly back to Seoul while members of EXO-M are headed to Beijing for the Meilishuo fan signing event.
