Exo's first studio album XOXO was released in June 2013 and received various awards, including their first Daesang award. In South Korea's music industry, a Daesang award is the "grand prize" of an award ceremony. The album won Album of the Year at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards and Disc Daesang at the 2014 Golden Disc Awards. "Growl", a single on the album, won Song of the Year at the 2013 Melon Music Awards. Exo have continued receiving awards and nominations in the years since, and as of January 2019, they have accumulated 23 Daesang awards from various award shows.

Exo have also won over 100 music program awards, which are awarded on weekly television shows in South Korea and China to the artist with the most popular and best performing song in the country that week. In 2017, Exo received a Prime Minister's Commendation award at the Korean Popular Culture & Arts Awards, which was given in recognition of public service or excellence in their field. With five wins at the time, Exo earned an entry in the 2018 Guinness World Records book for the "Most Daesang ("Grand Prize") awards won at the Mnet Asian Music Awards". Exo were also named by Forbes on their Korea Power Celebrity list as the most powerful celebrities in South Korea for 2015 and 2016, and within the top five for 2014, 2017 and 2018.
