EXO's popularity in China is indisputable, and they proved it again.

WEIBO, China's biggest social platform with 573 million monthly active users, released the most popular overseas male act list every month. From January to August, all EXO members entered the top 10. 

Also, Lee Jung Suk, G-Dragon, Kim Soo Hyun, and Hwang Chi Yeol are the other artists who entered the top 10.

On the other side, the most popular overseas female act lists were released. As IU kept her 1st spot on the list for six months, all the BLACKPINK members, following IU, were able to make it to the list as well.

In September, WEIBO announced that 'the popularity list' wouldn't be released anymore. Thus, those monthly lists until July 2021 are the final lists.
