EXO and (f)x to debut in Japan this year?

[kinjiki]

Do you think they will smash or should they wait a couple of more years?

I thought F(X) already debuted in Japan last year ....?

The Hallyu trend will be practically dead in "a couple more years" so either debut there now and get it over with... or don't bother at all.

They never ended up releasing anything

I can't keep up. f(x)ans swear up and down that Hot Summer wasn't their debut because they didn't release a physical single (the real reason is that it didn't set the download charts alight so we're rewriting history at this point tbh). Also see SCONES and The Boys US debut argument.

I'm new to them, but I thought Hot Summer was their debut thing in Japan.

They released Hot Summer as a download free single and never promoted it anywhere. I think they performed it once at SMTOWN Tokyo without Sulli but it's not even a performance worth watching tbh...

[DocumentaLy]

No to both.

[kinjiki]

EXO-J..the six best Japanese speakers picked from both EXO-M and EXO-K...do u think this is a good idea...

[Cl0v3rÂ¥Î]

No

It was cancelled. The whole anti-Korean thing in Japan blew up right before f(x) was gonna do their debut showcase so they've postponed that.

It was just a free digital single. Hot Summer, that is.

Their official debut was suppose to be close to the end of 2012, but SM kept pushing the debuting date back (beginning of 2013, then back again to a uncertain date) since the whole Japan anti-Korea protesting thing SM probably didn't want to risk debuting them. Who really knows with SM. 

[MaRy]

nope

[Hanah-]

There's a Japanese version of Hot Summer?

[michigointomypants]

no 

[Chesskid1<3]

does it really matter if they flop in japan, i mean a bunch already have

 

i dont think koreans really care if they do and its not like they'll spend months promoting there, only like maybe  2 weeks

 

might as well try

 

 

 

i think b1a4/boyfriend debut in japan late and they are doing pretty well, no?

LOL

Care to explain how are you supposed to "set the download charts alight" when the single is free ?

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the "The Boys" album up for sale making it a different situation from f(x)'s ?

[Regina]

I don't know about f(x) but I think Exo has a promising future in Japan, all bias aside.

U shouldnt take my posts seriously

[i2NE1]

I think Exo can sell just fine, if they try the japanese market next year I wouldn't be surprised.

[Summer_baby]

I hope EXO doesn't debut there anytime soon tbh. They should just focus on Korea and China for now.

Please continue to show f(x) a lot of love and support oppa ♥

[Kazuma Kiryu]

No please.
