Boy-band EXO became the first group to perform on a dome stage in Korea at Gocheock Sky Dome, Seoul, on Saturday.


EXO, a "double-million seller" group, mesmerized a crowd of more than 22,000 at the "2015 EXO-Love Concert in DOME."

The group began with "Call Me Baby" at 7 p.m., with fans giving a screaming welcome.

Band member Chanyeol then told the crowd, "EXO is giving its first dome concert with 22,000 fans. The concert is for our fans."

Another member, Baekhyun said, "We start our dome concert tour from here, Korea. We are very glad to see all of you here."

They continued with their hits, including "Don't Go," "XOXO," "Thunder," on a large main stage accompanied by LED screens and a moving stage that allowed them to get closer to fans.


EXO members also gave individual performances specially prepared for the concert.

Lay performed his self-composed song "Yixing," Chanyel covered John Legend's "All of Me" on the piano, Suho sang Kim Jo-han's "I Want to Fall in Love," Sehun gave a dance performance, Kai performed "Beautiful goodbye" by G.Soul and D.O covered Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" (accompanied by Chanyeol on guitar). Also, Chen, Xiumin and Baekhyun covered SG Wannabe's "As we live" together.

The concert closed with the group's best hits such as "Growl," "Overdose," and "Love Me Right."

"Because the Gocheok Sky Dome has more seats than the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, which has been a popular concert venue, performing at the Dome will be a dream for many singers," said a spokesman for EXO's agency SM entertainment.


EXO is scheduled to give dome concerts in Tokyo and Osaka in November.
