That December , Exo released a second EP , '' Miracles in December '' , as a special winter album containing the single of the same name . Prior to the release , the group promoted the album through their first reality show , '' Exo 's Showtime '' , which premiered on November 28 , 2013 on the cable channel MBC Every 1 .
