In January 2011, producer
Lee Soo-man of S.M. Entertainment announced his plans to debut a new boy band
in March or April 2011. Temporarily named M1, the group appeared to have consisted
of only seven members when a photo of them in a dance studio was leaked online.
In May 2011, Lee spoke about the group in a Hallyu business seminar held in
Stanford University. In the presentation, he explained his strategy of
separating the group into two subgroups, M1 and M2, and have them promote the
same music in South Korea and China, performing the songs in both Korean and
Mandarin. Lee planned to launch the group in May 2011, but their debut was
delayed and news concerning the group did not surface until October 2011, when
Lee briefly discussed about the group's concept plans again in an interview
with The Chosun Ilbo.
In December 2011, the group
finalized their name to Exo, with the names Exo-K for the South Korean subgroup
and Exo-M for the Chinese subgroup. The twelve members were introduced
individually through 23 different trailers released from December 2011 to
February 2012. Kai, Lu Han, Tao, and Chen were the first four members
introduced, and they debuted their first televised performance at SBS's annual
Gayo Daejun event on December 29, 2011.
