K-pop icon EXO members have revealed how they keep their faces unblemished amid grueling schedules.

“The two most important things are soothing and moisturizing,” said Baekhyun at a fan meeting in Seoul on Saturday. “No matter how busy I am, I never miss doing these two things after removing makeup.”

Chanyeol echoed the view and underscored the importance of cleansing.

“The two are important for sure,” said the boy band member. “But the very first thing to do is washing off the makeup. “If you do the three properly, you will be able to keep your face clean and unblemished.”

The fan meeting named “Green Nature 2017 EXO Fan Festival” was held at Hanyang University’s gymnasium in Seoul, which was packed with 6,000 EXO fans, mostly young women.

South Korean cosmetics brand Nature Republic hosted the event, which was streamed live on the company’s Chinese website.

An estimated 120,000 people watched the event on the website, reflecting the band’s popularity in China.

EXO has been the cosmetics brand’s commercial model since 2013.

The two-hour event started with the band’s hit song “Monster.” The band excited the crowd with six songs and synchronized dance moves, as did entertaining events hosted by popular comedian Yang Se-hyung.

“I believe the event helped bolster intimacy with local customers and promote the brand to overseas people interested in K-beauty,” said Seo Jin-kyeong, Nature Republic’s public relations manager.
