EXO-CBX
High-gloss dance-pop fueled by retro funk and soaring three-part harmonies. It is the sound of a neon-lit weekend where the hooks never stop and the energy never dips.

EXO-CBX (comprising Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin) represents the first official sub-unit of the global K-pop phenomenon EXO. Formed by SM Entertainment in 2016, the unit was designed to explore a more lighthearted, funk-oriented sound compared to the main group's often darker or more experimental output.
Their discography is characterized by a high degree of musicality, frequently employing live-sounding instrumentation like funky electric guitars and brass sections, which distinguishes them from the more electronic-heavy trends of their debut era. Critically, they are lauded for their vocal cohesion; the trio is widely considered one of the strongest vocal units in idol music history. Their career arc saw significant success in both Korea and Japan, with albums like 'Hey Mama!' and 'Blooming Days' topping charts. In 2023, the group became a focal point of industry discussion regarding artist rights after a high-profile legal dispute with SM Entertainment over contract transparency, eventually leading to a new independent phase of their careers while maintaining their identity as a unit.
