EXO has a bigger net worth than BTS because they have been famous for a long time. EXO has a solid fan base ever since 2013 up to now. BTS picked up fame late compared to EXO and only started getting famous late even though they debuted 2013.
The group consists of nine members which were actually formed with 12 members. According to SCMP, EXO is the richest K-Pop group as of 2022. With EXO's total net worth ranking up to 1 billion USD, BTS stood No. 2 on the list with a net worth of 12-150 million USD.
It's sure surprising to contemplate that Exo could be worth as much as six times more than BTS – and as much as even the biggest Western celebs like Kim K and Jay-Z.
Exo is prominent in the music industry. Bts is inferior to Exo. Exo has more votes in better songs, vocalist, and in awards. In all, Exo is better than Bts.
Surpassing BTS and BLACKPINK, EXO is the richest Kpop group as of 2022? Nicknamed the “Nation's Pick”, EXO once ruled over Kpop with their excellent vocals, impressive choreography, and gorgeous visuals.
Suho. EXO leader Suho stands atop the net worth ranking, being the richest member with more than USD 18 million net worth in 2022, as per K-pop Starz. Suho started his solo music stint in 2020 with the release of his first EP Self-Portrait.
Exo have been described as "the biggest boy band in the world".
On August 22, BTS' V gained 9.24 million followers on Spotify, surpassing EXO, who currently have 9.23 million followers. V is also the only K-Pop artist to reach the top 10 most-followed on Spotify without a solo album or mixtape yet. In other news, 'Singularity' has surpassed 230 million streams on Spotify.
Besides being the music chartbusters, in the year 2018, EXO reserved a place on Guinness World Records for winning the “Most Daesang” making them the undisputable "Kings of K-pop". They also performed at the closing ceremony, representing K-pop, of Winter Olympics that year alongside soloist CL.
Whereas BTS took a little longer to work their way to the top. Not to mention that EXO debuted slightly earlier, in a time when different concepts were preferred, as compared to BTS following the popular trends and making their own. So the slight waning of EXO's popularity has clashed with BTS' gradual rise.
EXO is very famous in most of the Asian countries - mostly Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, seeing how concert tickets sell out within minutes in these countries. EXO dominates Asia.
Exo is a year older than BTS. But as people think exo did debut with a lot of fanfare, but after their debut they were considered “sm's worst mistake" and their fansign barely had enough people.
Blackpink, a female Korean band formed by YG Entertainment, is the highest-charting act on the K-pop charts. It is no secret that the Blackpink singer has a stunning voice and has performed at several prestigious events over the years.
Why is it that even though EXO has been losing their popularity since 2016, it still somehow managed to gather enough people to garner 9.3 Million votes to snag yet another SMA, becoming the first artist to win an award in 2022?
Always respecting and congratulating each other
No matter what year, music show, or award ceremony, EXO and BTS have shown nothing but respect for each other. They always take time for greetings and congratulations, and we wish to see many sweet moments between the two groups in the future, too!
But exo still topping brand reputation in groups and winning awards even without a comeback tells us that their fanbase in korea is huge. But the groups can only be compared if they had a comeback at the same time.
EXO debuted in 2012 under SM Entertainment with twelve members, Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O. Kai, Sehun, Xiumin, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Luhan, and Tao. Members Kris, Luhan, and Tao departed the group individually amid legal battles with SM Entertainment in 2014 and 2015.
1. BTS. BTS is undoubtedly the most popular K-Pop group in the world and also the best-selling artist in South Korean history. The group was formed in 2010 and debuted in 2013 under the record label Big Hit Entertainment.
SEVENTEEN. The second place was taken by SEVENTEEN. This K-POP band consists of members S. Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino.
Backstreet Boys and NSYNC became the two biggest boy bands in the late 1990s until the early 2000s, and Backstreet Boys went on to become the best-selling boy band in history with over 100 million records sold.
While both bands are successful internationally, it is evident to say that BTS is richer than BLACKPINK. Several reasons that are fueling this difference are the fact that the boy group consists of 7 members whereas the girl group only has 4. BTS is also present in the industry for a longer time than BLACKPINK.
