Netizens Left Gobsmacked By EXO Member Filling Up A Stadium For A Solo Concert
An EXO member is going viral across Korean communities for his unbelievable selling power.
Recently, a post on Instiz went viral, pointing out that EXO member Lay had recently sold out a 90,000-capacity stadium for his solo concert.
The concert in question took place on October 7, 2025, on his birthday, at the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the “Bird’s Nest.” The estimated capacity of the venue is 80,000-90,000, and Lay was able to sell it out completely, all on his own.

The Instiz post, citing this amazing feat, stated, “I understand why SM wanted Zhang Yixing (Lay) to reunite with EXO.” As comments poured in under the post, netizens agreed with the OP (original poster), expressing admiration for Lay’s sustaining star power.
- “If even 10,000 people from there came to Korea, they could easily fill Gocheok Sky Dome or Jamsil Stadium. Zhang Yixing is the Taylor Swift of China.”
- “Wow, I’m a fan of another group, but I didn’t realize he was that popular.”
- “I recently found out that Lay Zhang is the 3rd highest-selling artist in China. The 1st and 2nd places were Jay Chou and someone else, a famous person.”
- “And if EXO wants to resume activities in China, it’s said that connections are important there, so this would be a win-win situation in that regard as well.”
- “I heard it was around 160,000 or 180,000 in two days, which is incredible.”
