Q/ Anonymous : What made the exo members become singers ???

Answer : - (i can find exo-k only) :'(

"Ever since primary school, I watched the DBSK seniors’ ‘Hug’ and admired how handsome they were. I’ve liked music ever since I was young so I learned how to play instruments. I joined a band during middle school and when I was in my first year of high school, I entered SM Entertainment and trained for four years." (Chanyeol)

"I started learning jazz dance in 2nd grade. However in 6th grade, I decided to become a singer and went through auditions to enter SM. Since I was too young, I was told to come back one year later if my dream still didn’t change. That time, since I did ballet, it was hard to be picked right away. It’s thanks to the Shinhwa seniors I got interested in dance and I recently managed to meet and even shake hands with them. I was really happy." (Kai)

"My dream ever since primary school was also to become a singer. Just like this, I joined SM during middle school after being cast. At that time, I also worked hard at school. I was always ranked in the 5 best students but since I had to train to become a singer, it was really hard." (Suho)

"Seeing Rain senior made me want to become a singer. I went through a lot of auditions during middle school but the results were not good. During high school, I joined a band and as I planned to study Music in college, I got cast by SM on my way to take the exam. It’s still amazing to me when I think of it." (Baekhyun)

"I’ve also started singing in elementary school. In my second year of high schol, I participated to a youth song festival and won. This is how I got to enter SM" (D.O)

The youngest member, Sehun, is an exception. He was walking down the streets and eating ddukbokki like he often does and got “street cast".

"At that time, I didn’t really care about singers. Hereafter, after going through SM four times in 2 years, I managed to get into SM. As I was going through my training, my interest [in being a singer] grew and I am really working hard right now." (Sehun)
