K-pop band EXO delights #ClosingCeremony fans while dressed in Colonel Sanders replica outfits #Olympics_EXO

Earlier today at the Closing Ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, the hashtag #Olympics_EXO promoting the K-pop boy-band group named EXO went completely bonkers as fans watched their performance:
