Monday, May 22, 2023

EXO-SC, comprising of Sehun and Chanyeol from EXO, popped by Singapore for their second stop as part of their “BACK TO BACK FANCON TOUR”! The boy group duo gave EXO-Ls a mid-week treat at The Star Theatre on 17 May 2023 with an array of games and performances.

Much to lucky fans and even media outlets’ delight, a press conference was held prior to the fancon. During a question where Sehun’s role in the drama “All That We Loved” was brought up, Chanyeol and Sehun exchanged a banter:

Host: “You donated a kidney to your friend in the drama! What would be the most generous thing you’d do for a friend?”

Sehun: “I’d do the same!”

Chanyeol: “Will you donate to me too?”

Sehun: “No…”

Chanyeol: “I don’t need it!”

The host also dropped a little snippet about how chill both members were during the soundcheck!

Much to EXO-L’s anticipation, the show finally started at 8pm, where fans filled the venue with the theme colour pink. Fan chants went loud and strong for EXO-SC’s first stage “What a life”, also from their first mini album!

SeChan then greeted fans with their first ment:

“You guys can understand us even without translation! Did you guys study Korean? Ah I know… it must be because of us,” Sehun teased.

The topic of food is not to be missed when in any new country – following up to the earlier press conference, Chanyeol once again spoke about his love for chilli crab:

“The moment we arrived in Singapore, we ordered chilli crab. When we reached our hotel, we ordered again.”

“He’s weird, he was really focused on the crab…” Sehun revealed.

“I can’t see anything else,” Chanyeol admitted to only having eyes for his favourite Singaporean dish.

The duo was also tested on their chemistry by having to choose the same answer throughout a series of questions. Unfortunately, they lost by getting three out of five questions wrong!

An example was them having to choose between having 5% battery on their phones but being able to use mobile data, or 100% battery but not able to use mobile data. Sehun chose the former, where witty Chanyeol then rebutted by saying he can only use his phone for a maximum of ten minutes. Hearing his groupmate’s answer, Sehun was at a loss for words and hilariously ended up apologizing.

They had to profess their love to each other as a forfeit, leading to an avalanche of laughter from the audience!

Unfortunately (or not 😉), the duo lost the game with 3 wrong - 2 correct and had to do a forfeit!

EXO-SC further entertained fans by doing various types of fanservice:

1. 1. Heart trio set

2. 2. EXO Rabbit – wearing bunny ears

3. 3. Chanyeol playing a guitar for fans having their birthdays

4. 4. Sehun’s solo dance medley of EXO songs

Much to everyone’s envy, two very lucky fans were picked through a lucky draw to win personalized tumblrs designed by none other than Chanyeol and Sehun themselves! Nonetheless, EXO-Ls’ hearts were filled to the brim with even more memories of their idols, whom they missed dearly over the years.

Throughout the fancon, EXO-SC also delighted fans with tracks such as “Borderline”, “1 Billion Views”, “Rodeo Station” and not forgetting the unit’s personal favourite “Fly Away”.
