EXID, short for “Exceed In Dreaming,” is a South Korean girl group that captured the hearts of K-pop enthusiasts worldwide since their debut in February 2012. Comprised of five talented members—Solji, Elly, Hani, Hyelin, and Jeonghwa—the group swiftly became a prominent figure in the K-pop scene with their infectious melodies and captivating performances.

Although their debut single “Whoz That Girl” marked their entry into the industry, it was their unexpected breakthrough in 2014 with the viral sensation “Up & Down” that catapulted them to stardom. The single topped the Gaon Singles Chart four months after its release, thanks to a fan-recorded live performance that went viral, showcasing the group’s immense talent and stage presence.

Building on this success, EXID continued to soar with subsequent releases, including their second EP “Ah Yeah” in 2015 and their first studio album “Street” in 2016, both of which garnered commercial acclaim. Despite facing challenges such as member departures and agency changes, EXID remained resilient, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.

In May 2019, EXID announced a hiatus from Korean group activities but continued to engage with their fans through Japanese releases, including studio albums like “Trouble” and “B.L.E.S.S.E.D.” However, their hiatus proved to be temporary, as they made a triumphant return in September 2022 with their independent album “X,” celebrating their remarkable journey in the music industry.

Throughout their career, EXID has amassed an impressive array of accolades, including numerous music program awards and four prestigious trophies, symbolizing their enduring impact and unwavering dedication to their craft. With their unique blend of talent, charisma, and perseverance, EXID continues to inspire fans around the globe, cementing their status as icons of K-pop excellence.
