After a successful run of their hit song “Growl,” EXO will wrap up promotions for the song this week.

The song hit the top of the music charts and won the coveted triple crown on both “Inkigayo” and “M!Countdown.” The song also won first place on “Music Core” and “Music Bank.” Now the group will perform the song for the last time on those shows.

A representative of SM Entertainment said, “We have special shows lined up in our schedule so you will continue to see EXO’s faces. We have not set a date for an official comeback yet.”

SISTAR Is Up Against The Boy Bands At MTV EMAs

They’re not exactly “new” singers…

On November 11, the MTV EMAs will take place in Amsterdam, and there will be a five Korean groups competing for the title of Korea’s Best New SingerSISTAR is the only girl group to be in the running, and is pitted up against EXO, B.A.P, Boyfriend, and U-KISS. It appears that MTV hasn’t really taken into account the “new” part of this category, and instead is just focusing on international popularity, given the fact that U-KISS has been around since 2008 while the other groups range anywhere from that time until last year.

It’s a bit unfortunate that no rookie groups are being put into the spotlight at the EMAs this year, but it’s great that they opened up a category just for Korean music, considering that it’s a European award show! If you want to vote, head over to the EMAs official website. But, there’s a catch! To vote for any of the Korean groups, you must be logged in on the Korean website for the EMAs.
