K-pop boy band EXO’s winning streak continues, as it took home another top prize from the Seoul Music Awards held Thursday in Seoul.

The music award honored a slew of K-pop stars who made strong showings last year.

EXO snatched the top honor again with its third EP, “Overdose,” released last May.

“We won the same award last year, and again this year. Thank you very much. We will return your love by holding a new concert and (releasing a new) album,” EXO members said during the acceptance speech.

Chinese member Tao shouted to express his joy.

EXO also grabbed the iQiyi Popularity Award, in recognition of its fame overseas.

The Main Award went to the 12 most celebrated K-pop acts -- VIXX, Girl’s Day, B1A4, AOA, EXO, Apink, BTS, Infinite, SISTAR, BEAST, TaeTiSeo and Super Junior.

Sponsored by Korean news outlet Sports Seoul, the annual Seoul Music Award ceremony has recognized outstanding achievements in the music industry since 1990.
