Exo Next Door ( Korean: 우리 옆집에 엑소가 산다; RR: Uri yeopjibe eksoga sanda; lit. "Exo Lives Next Door to My House") is a 2015 South Korean web series starring Moon Ga-young and members of the K-pop boy band Exo (with the latter playing fictionalized versions of themselves). [1] [2] It aired on Naver TV Cast from April 9 to May 28, 2015, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 22:00 for 16 episodes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
Exo Next Door became one of the most popular web series in Korea with 50 million views; this led to CJ E&M re-editing it into a film version, which was then sold to overseas buyers at the 68th Cannes Film Market. [7]
Ji Yeon-hee ( Moon Ga-young) is an extremely shy, introverted 23-year-old woman with zero dating experience and a tendency to blush when talking to someone she likes. One day, four young men move into the house right next door to Yeon-hee's home, and to her surprise, they turn out to be Chanyeol ( Park Chanyeol), D.O. ( Doh Kyung-soo), Baekhyun ( Byun Baekhyun) and Sehun ( Oh Sehun) from her favorite boy band Exo, who are looking to lie low for a while. They hire her to clean their house part-time during the winter vacation and that's when Yeon-hee found out that Chanyeol was her long lost childhood friend and crush "Chan" and that he is the grandson of the house owner. As the story goes on, Yeon-hee soon becomes involved in a love triangle with Chanyeol and D.O. [8]
