EXO Wraps Three-Day Seoul Encore with 33,000 Fans as 'EXhOrizon [dot]' Closes at KSPO Dome cover

EXO brought their sixth concert tour to a close on Sunday, wrapping three sold-out nights at Seoul’s KSPO Dome that drew about 33,000 fans and proving, as Sports Donga put it in its on-site report, that the group remains the “K-pop King.” The encore run, “EXO PLANET #6 - EXhOrizon [dot],” ran from November 6 to 8 at the Olympic Park venue, with every seat filled across all three nights, including restricted-view seats.

The finale reached far beyond the dome. Sunday’s show was screened live in 757 cinemas across 23 regions worldwide, letting fans who could not get tickets watch the closing night from their local theatres. Chanyeol also alluded to an unusual incident during the previous night’s performance, calling it “an enormous incident” and “something very unusual” that shocked even the group, and urged the final-night crowd to enjoy the show safely.

The show opened with “Crown,” the title track of EXO’s eighth album, staged beneath a 23-metre ring LED combined with truss lighting to form a giant crown above the stage. The setlist moved through “Monster” and four songs unveiled for the first time on this tour - “Suffocate,” “Sweet Lies,” “24/7” and “Crazy.” The highlight was a medley section: a run of hit title tracks, an EDM medley and a winter-song medley, with fans on their feet waving light sticks and singing along. Super Junior’s Kyuhyun was spotted in the audience.

Chanyeol said the members had planned the new “Suffocate” stage for the encore run from the start, and recalled struggling with the scorpion dance move in “24/7” until Sehun taught him in a single lesson. Sehun then demonstrated the move live on stage, prompting each member to try it in turn. D.O. thanked fans for spending a precious Sunday at the show and said the group would pour everything they had gathered into the finale after closing out their Asia tour in Seoul.

In closing remarks, Suho thanked fans for filling the seats and said that while preparing “EXhOrizon” and a new album had not been easy, the members had trusted each other through it, adding that EXO would return as soon as possible with new music and new performances. Sehun split the credit for the show three ways - 30 percent to the staff, 30 percent to EXO and 40 percent to the fans - and promised the group would meet fans again.
