EXO, 12 years since its debut,
proved its enduring popularity with their regular track “Let Me In”.
EXO’s “Let Me In” topped the list of ‘Top 50 K-pop Tracks of 2023’ selected by the renowned British magazine, DAZED.
DAZED announced the ‘Top 50 K-pop Tracks of 2023’ list through their official website on December 15th.
The list includes EXO’s “Let Me In”, which took the first place, as well as Key’s “Killer”, Taemin’s “Guilty”, Kai’s “Rover”, Red Velvet’s “Chill Kill”, proving SM Entertainment’s power in 2023.
Moreover, tracks from various SM artists, including NCT DREAM’s “Broken Melodies”, NCT’s Do Jae-jung’s “Perfume”, and aespa’s “Welcome To MY World (Feat. nævis)”, also made it to the list.
In particular, about EXO’s “Let Me In”, DAZED evaluated, “There are hardly any people who can express natural beauty while singing a song about a protagonist who is so deeply in love and longs for and waits for the touch of its lover while being isolated at the bottom of the sea.”
They also praised EXO’s skills, saying, “The challenge that ‘Let Me In’ presents is just a stepping stone for EXO to fully take off.”
They continued, “EXO completely immerses the listeners in their music flowing with intense longing, starting with wrapping the listeners in a dreamy way through their vocals.”
Meanwhile, “Let Me In”, which was unexpectedly pre-released in July ahead of EXO’s 7th regular album release, topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 37 regions worldwide, boasting global popularity.
In addition, they proved their power by topping the digital album sales chart and music video chart in both global and Korean categories on China’s QQ Music and Kugou Music.
