At the showcase, EXO performed their title track "Crown" for the first time. The song showcased their highly anticipated powerful performance in their signature SM Performance style. They also performed "I'm Home," an emotional winter song that has garnered widespread love.
In addition to the musical performances, the members shared behind-the-scenes stories of the album's creation process and engaged in a casual and entertaining chat session about the 'body swap' concept in keeping with their album's theme.

This achievement was further bolstered by its number-one position on various daily charts in Japan and South Korea, such as RecoChoku and Hanteo Chart. Following the success of the showcase, EXO will begin their promotional activities on various television music programs starting this week.
