EXO's Commemorative Medals Sold Out Making 1.6 Billion Won

 

 

 

The world wide super star kpop band EXO was honored with Commemorative medals by the Korean government on April 18, 2018, in recognition to their contribution to the global spread of Hallyu wave.

 

Following that, KOMSCO announced the medals for sale in limited quantities in two versions - the special version and the regular version.

 

The special version is limited. A round silver medal, weighs - 31.1 grams, diameter - 40 mm, purity - 99.9%. The regular version is also a round silver medal weighs - 15.55 grams, diameter -28 mm, purity - 99.9%.

 

There were only 5,000 medals and 100 sets available for sale. The cost is 165,000 won (i.e $154) per member medal. For all 9 members the cost is 1,485,000 won (i.e $1385). Even though the cost is pretty high, EXOLs did not hesitated to show their purchasing power.

 

The total sales is 1.6 Billion Won.

 

Within an hour after announcing for sale, KOMSCO announced that the medals are sold out, which is a bit of surprise.. well not really.. This is EXO and EXOL we are talking about - The world leading Kpop band and the most powerful fandom. 6 years since debut and EXO still remains at the top of the game. Even after facing so many hurdles and hardships, the fandom has never let EXO down.

 

Of course EXO is the Nation's pick, and EXOLs pick as well.

that's why i didn't think it was cool that they laughed at their own medals until they almost cried

there was nothing funny about it

i knew people would want those medals

[Yeriana Grande]

And they were fucking expensive, EXO-Ls really will buy anything of EXO

The medals used pictures and styling from XOXO era, that's why they laughed. Of course people would want them, fans expressed it before we even saw them

i knew why they laughed, i just thought it was very wrong and inappropriate

 

but then again exo's sense of humor is exactly why i unstanned them for a week

during that week they did the "laugh at my own medals" thing and i was about to be so embarrassed but then i stopped myself and thought "no no, you unstanned them. so this time you don't have to feel embarrassed"

 

however, yesterday i took them back (just not jongdae) so i hope in future they won't do something like that again because then i technically will have to be embarrassed

Lmao, why are you taking this so seriously? They can't laugh at their own styling from years ago? Even fans thought it was funny, I'm not sure why you find this so offensive but okay I guess, since you don't stan them or didn't stan them in that moment or whatever is the case lol

i didn't choose to take it seriously i just thought it was bad form

i woke up i opened the news, i saw it and i was like 

and i thought it was ugly

i thought it was embarrassing behavior

i thought that if i had made those medals i would take every single one of them right back LOL

it wasn't like i decided 'ooh let me take this seriously'

that's just how i felt

honestly if we weren't already on the outs we could have been on the outs just for that one medal thing

 

i don't know why it set me off, it just did

BUT i do have to say that most of the time Exo navigates situations with class and makes me feel proud of them

They thought the styling was funny...not shitting on the maker of the medals, you're making it into more than it really is but okay, I suppose, if you wish, you are free to feel that way about it

like i said, i get WHY they laughed but that didn't make it ok. they thought a great honor was "funny" i cant approve it

if i was their manager i would have called them up and had a chat after that

But they didn't think "a great honor" was funny, it was the XOXO era pictures being used as the base. Do you think they would have laughed if they chose something more recent and neutral styled? I doubt it. If you think it was inappropriate then I can't convince you otherwise, but they didn't laugh at "a great honor", I don't think it's right to say that, it was clear it was because of their pictures.

i don't think the two can be separated

they are the same thing

they laughed at their own medals

who DOES that?

oh wait, i know, suho and baekhyun

 

baekhyun will laugh at anything, so what can i say, but suho should really set a better example as leader

 

i mean what photo did he expect? What recent photo did he really want? they have to use something simple and iconic that reads at a small size. they cant exactly use his KoKobop armpit photo LOL

But they are different...if they laugh at an outfit, are they laughing at the stylist? The one who designed it, sewed it together? The styling is old and amusing and they laughed at themselves.Who knows, maybe SM requested the photos as far as we know, that means they can’t find it amusing?

yeah. if they laugh at an outfit they are also laughing at the stylist who picked it and all the people who made it. yeah. i think that's valid. that's the way i see it.

 

well maybe it was a media thing. like maybe they did it to try to make the event seem more fun etc or maybe the fact that they laughed at it made exol's want it even more. i don't know.

 

i just know that whenever i make something and present it to the world 'violent laughter' is probably about the LAST reaction i want to get

 

but hey i can make that kokobop armpit coin suho really wanted. lol he thought he would show up on his coin looking luscious and mucha-inspired. i get it. i can make one for him lol i'm pretty handy with photoshop

 

wait nevermind he'd just laugh at it lol remind me to never hand make kim junmyeon ANYTHING lol

We are at the point that I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not so, I’ll just say, if you thought it was out of place to laugh then, you are free to, but making it as if they are disrespectful to the creators is too much, it was not about the medal,it was the photos they chose to reference

EXO-L POWER

The only person who is being embarrassing is you . It's their medals to laugh at . And as someone already said they laughed at the styling not the huge honour they received. Sorry Exo aren't robots unlike popular belief.

well i should probably inform you of something.....i don't get embarrassed. other people are frequently trying to tell me everything i do is "so embarrassing to them" my advice to them is simple: if i am embarrassing you, look away. looook awayyyyy lol

 

but back to suho. i just wonder what kind of medal he DID want. i mean obviously i was joking about the kokobop armpit medal. i just wish i could ask him what WAS his expectation? i'm dying to know
