Background and release
Exo-K and Exo-M's third EP was intended to be released on 21 April 2014, but its release was postponed due to the Sewol Ferry Disaster on 16 April. Its music videos were released on 6 May 2014 on YouTube, then followed by its album on 7 May 2014.[1] It reached 660,000+ preorders before its release, making it the most pre-ordered mini-album in history.[2]
On 15 May 2014, Exo-M's leader Kris filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate his contract citing his neglected health and the company's violation of human rights.[3]
The Korean edition also peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's World Albums Chart, and No. 129 on the "Billboard 200", making Exo the highest charting Korean male group act on the Billboard 200 at the time.[4][5]
