K-pop titan EXO has rocked some 6,000 international fans during its fan festival hosted by cosmetic brand Nature Republic.

The band kicked off the "Green Nature 2019 EXO Fan Festival" with the songs "Tempo" and "24/7" on Saturday at Hwajung Gymnasium at Korea University, Seoul.

The eight members ― Suho, Xiumin, D.O., Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Sehun, Chen and Kai ― also sang a birthday song for the brand to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

"I hope Nature Republic would flourish 100 years from now with EXO," member Sehun said.

They also played several games with their fans, known as EXO-Ls, and presented the brand's goods to fans during the "slingshot event."

The highlight came by the end of the party. The brand held an award ceremony to appreciate the stars who have been the faces of the brand for six years. The fans were thanked too, and were given a "Thank-you Award." The special EXO face packs were their rewards.

"Thank you, EXO-L, and let's stay together for a long time," band leader Suho said. "You all are grand prize awardees for us."

The band rounded off the event with its song "Love Shot."

The festival was broadcasted live on Instagram and Weibo, a Chinese social media. Approximately 200,000 people in total watched the live, according to Nature Republic, Sunday.
