Awards Won by EXO

NOTE: I have chosen to arrange the prizes by awards season, because awards shows don’t technically take place in the same year.  So for example, shows like the MNET and Melon Music Awards happen in December, other ones like Gaon Chart and Golden Disc happen a month later in January of the next year, but they’re all awarding the same music.  Notable awards such as a bonsang and a daesang are highlighted in bold.

NOTE: I compiled and double checked my list using this Wikipedia page, which features other awards that EXO has won outside of the major Korean ones and also provides information about everything they were nominated for. But a lot of my original knowledge comes from my own memory (I watched some of these award shows live), as well as Twitter updates and Soompi articles.

The cover image is of EXO at the 2017 MNET Asian Music Awards where they won their 5th Album of the Year award in a row. The image belongs to MNET, but I got it from this Soompi article.
