Fans shut down Exo website

Exo

Exo’s official website was offline yesterday due to excessive traffic because the boy group was recruiting members for its fan club.

The band’s agency, SM Entertainment, started recruiting at noon yesterday for the global club Exo-L - a shortened version of “Exo-Love.”

Fans from across the world tried to access the website in order to file their application but were soon unable to access the site.

To make it easier for fans to find information about the group, the agency is operating a mobile application and will also provide a mobile membership card with an individual barcode for members to take part in group chats or access the group’s official schedule.

Exo is currently traveling around Asia for its first solo concert tour, “Exo From Exoplanet #1 - The Lost Planet.”
