"EXO should just disband"

"EXO is not even that good"

"EXO is a flop"

I know that lots of people are waiting for EXO to disband and falldown. People said EXO should let other groups shine, they need to stop and just become solo artist, bla bla bla.... And some people even said EXO is losing their popularity.

This blog is a bit long. Because there's lots of things about EXO that people have to know before they start judging EXO.

And because EXO DESERVE BETTER.

Why EXO Is So Precious?

[Things that I wish people know about EXO]

---------------- •◦◈◦• ----------------

1. EXO start from the bottom. They work hard to be where they are now.

Yes, EXO come from a big company. But no, they never had everything easy. It annoys me when people said;

"EXO had everything easy. They come from a big company and they are popular since the start."

Story time.

When EXO debut in 2012, they got lots of hate. EXO got lots of hate since the first day they were introduced to kpop industry. People said that EXO only popular because they come from a big company.

People used to called EXO as "SM's biggest failure" because EXO did not reach that "SM expectation". And people said EXO is a huge mistake.

When EXO debut, people laughed at EXO because of their superpower concept. They make fun of EXO. Can you imagine how hurt EXO must have felt at that time?

I still remember back then when people called EXO nugu. People always be like, "EXO who?" since EXO is not popular at that time.

Because of that, EXO had to join street events in order to gain popularity. Even if they walk casually on the street in Korea, no one knows EXO.

(Except for a few EXO fans at that time)

In case you don't know, during EXO's first fansign in 2012, only 18 people attend their fansign. It's hard for EXO to even get 20 people to come to their fansign at that time.

During debut days, EXO members always fight because of food. Since they don't have much money at that time, they have to save their money. It's hard for them to even buy tasty foods at that time.

EXO used to get paid with bags of rice instead of money. Yes, they worked very hard, but all they got was only bags of rice.

And do you know how long EXO takes to get their first music show win? While other new groups such as BlackPink and Wanna One took less than 10 days to get their first win on music show, EXO took more than 400 days to get their first win.

Is this what you call popular since the start?

EXO starts from the bottom. Just because they come from a big company, doesn't mean they're at the top since the start. They work hard to be where they are now. What they have now, they work hard for it.

And look at them now.... Quadruple million seller, sold out tickets in 0.4 second, has thousands of fans coming to their fansign, win more than 200 awards...

Yes, this is EXO. The group that people called 'flop' and 'biggest failure'. Yes, this is EXO, the group that got millions of hates but still make it to the top.

2. EXO have been through hell lots of time but they never give up.

They have been through hell, like thousands of times but they never give up.

When Growl was a hit in 2013, people said it was only a "one hit wonder". After Growl EXO will continue being nugus (nobody). And during that time, the amount of hate that EXO has received was really inhuman. People said that EXO is popular only because of their looks.

In 2014, Kris suddenly left EXO. Haters keep saying that it will be the end of EXO.

❝ The hardships come earlier than we expected. It was all very confusing and brought us to tears. We were crying, and angry as well. Our heart was really in pain.... But the wound will heal, and we will become stronger. ❞

- EXO -

EXO's members fought a lot at that time because they were too stressed. They were hurt, no only mentally, but physically as well. Kris left only a few days before EXO's concert. They have to rearrange their dances, music and much more. They practice non-stop and didn't get enough sleep.

Before Kris left, he actually ran away from Korea without telling anyone and went to Canada. EXO members and their managers were really worried about Kris. After they ask him to comeback, Kris finally agree and went back to Korea.

A few days after Kris ran away, EXO had a radio interview and this is what Sehun said with teary eyes;

❝ Our members, let's rely on each other, let's not fight and I really hope that we can last together until the end happily. I love you. ❞

- Sehun -

Now back to Kris leaving EXO- The day when Kris left EXO, EXO won an award on music show for Overdose. But guess what happen? Only Suho was on the stage to receive the award.

The rest of EXO members was not ready to face the hates and criticism. They were all still hurt and shocked by the news of Kris leaving EXO. They are not ready to stand on the stage and face the fans.

But our leader, Suho... He sacrificed for the members. He went on the stage. ALONE. He sing Overdose ALONE. He receive the award ALONE. He gave the speech ALONE.

He smiled on the stage, but his eyes were crying. It's true that your eyes can't lie.

Then news about Baekhyun dating with Tayeon spread among the netizens. Baekhyun and Tayeon was attacked by the saesang fans at that time. Baekhyun received lots of hate. People even call him BaekHyum (Hyum-disgusting).

Baekhyun was really stressed and depressed at that time. He even said that he often cry alone. During one of EXO concert, Baekhyun cried on the stage. He thought that everyone hated him. But EXO-L still give him full support. He felt so happy that the fans still believe in him. Baekhyun always thought that he's alone and he always thought that everyone hated him but when he saw the fans giving so much love and support to him, he felt really grateful.

Not so long after that, Luhan left EXO. People start talking about EXO. At that time, people was like,

"What the hell is wrong with EXO? This group has so many problem".

A few fans even left EXO and stan other groups.

In 2014, EXO won a daesang on MAMA. But let me tell you what, it is one of the most emotional moments that EXO and EXO-L will never forget.

EXO never expect that they'll win a daesang because 2014 is a dark year for EXO. They always thought that they have lose their popularity. They thought that all the fans has left them. They thought that everyone hate them. But they're wrong.

❝ People said that 2014 is a black year for EXO. But starting from this moment, on this MAMA stage, that colour will change! ❞

- Lay -

But well, the pain did not end there. Tao left in 2015. He was badly injured at that time, he had no choice but to leave EXO or his injuries will get even worse.

Talking about Tao's injuries, let me remind you about how many times EXO members got injured yah?

Kai got injured the most among the members. Since he is the main dancer, he often dance until late night. Kai is already good enough as a dancer, but he still push himself to become a better dancer until he hurt himself. He often hurt his legs, his back and his waist. At such young age, the doctor said that Kai had to go for operation if his injuries did not get better. Hospitals are like EXO's second home.

Before Tao left EXO, he got injured lots of time. His back, his waist and his legs was injured but he STILL had to perform martial arts on stage. He lied to the fans saying that he's okay but actually he's NOT. There was this time when Tao got injured until he could not even walk, so Kai and Baekhyun help him. And guess what? Kai's leg was also injured at that time but he still help Tao.

When Tao hurted his legs, he had to go out alone and buy the medicine by himself because none of the managers help him. With crutches and injured legs, he walked by himself and no one help him.

Lay got injured lots of time too. He practice until late night and always lacks of sleep. He stays up late every night to write songs. He fainted lots of times, basically dying, but all he said was,

"As long as you make good work, who cares if you fainted?"

While they were stressed and got injured lots of time, the hates from people only make the situation even worse than it already is. EXO can just breath and they'll get thousands of hates.

Antis made up stories about EXO members. These people just want EXO to disband and lose their popularity. They're so mean and heartless, seriously.

People called Suho "The worst leader"

When the 3 members left EXO, some people even blamed Suho. They said Suho is such a bad leader for not being able to keep the members together.

Chanyeol is called "The worst rapper"

This is funny because duhh obviously he ain't a super rapper or what. But really, he's a very good rapper. And he's multi-talented. As much as you hate him, you gotta admit that Chanyeol is one of the most talented idol nowadays.

People bash Kai for stating his opinion. Kai got lots of hate at that time, people called Kai "disrespectful bastard" and "asshole". Some people even reffer EXO as "the shitty group".

Seriously "the shitty group"?

Wowww the amount of ReSpEcT.

Even Sehun who knows nothing got thousand of hates. Xiumin and Kyungsoo got hated as well.

People said Lay is "the next traitor" and he will leave EXO too.

Chen is called as "the ugliest member of EXO"

Is this what EXO deserve? Being called ugly, asshole, shitty....

And do I even need to talk about the saesang fans? EXO almost get kidnapped by the crazy fans, seriously. They could not live in peace because of these crazy saesang fans.

❝ We thought of each other as a family. We've been through lots of difficulties. Sometimes, we just give up and stop talking to each other. However, we picked ourselves back up and the team spirit is well again. ❞

- Suho -

This is why I truly respect them. If I were them, I would just give up, like seriously. But EXO.... They're so strong and determined....

❝ After the concerts end, I'm sometimes in the stage of depression and sadness. That's how I'd feel. But having my teammates and the fans, it really helps. That's why I enjoy this life. ❞

- Suho -

If I could collect EXO's tears everytime they cry, I bet it would be buckets full of tears. They always cry alone....

God, protect these 9 boys and give them the happiness they deserve.... That's all I can say right now.

3. EXO's passion and love for music

Their love for music is something that cannot be described by words. I don't think I have to say much about this. Just look at how hard they work to be where they are now.

They fall sick, sacrifice their youth, live in a life full of stress and depression, yet they still make music to inspire people and to make the fans happy. They fake their smile just to make everyone happy although they're sad.

After everything that happens, EXO could just give up but no, they still work hard. Because of their love in music. EXO said that they want to let the world know their music, and they did it!

❝ EXO is like a tree. With leaves and fruits, it steadily grows bigger. The thing I love the most is the stage. When I stand on the stage, I forget all my troubles and worries. The cheers from fans give me so much energy that words cannot describe. So no matter how hard it is, I never thought I can't do it. ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

❝ If you say that you’re an idol, there are still so many people who hold prejudiced views. It’s the same for fans. There appear to be many people who make the distinction between, ‘are you the fan of an artist or the fan of an idol?’ People who like idols are negatively seen as and called bbasooni [crazy female fan]. Honestly, don’t describe fans that way. For us as EXO, it becomes a question of ‘how will we overcome this wall?' ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

❝ I'm going to give every last bit of my passion for dance to EXO. I want to help in letting the world know the sound of Korea. ❞

- Kai -

------------------

❝ Celebrities are given so much love from fans, so on top of our training on singing and dancing, we also wanted to train ourselves in giving love back. ❞

- Kai -

------------------

❝ Thinking back to the past, there are a lot of success that we have achieved,which somehow seemed like miracles. It was all possible because of you. We are really happy with the fact that 'We Are One'. ❞

- EXO -

------------------

❝ I'd have no regrets dying on the stage. ❞

- Kai -

------------------

❝ One day, we will get old and grow white hairs. We probably can't dance or sing well anymore. EXO won't be popular anymore. But I still want to be an EXO member until the end. ❞

- Kai -

------------------

❝ Let's love each other. Let's become a group that can love all of our fans and the staffs who work hard for us. It means, LET'S LOVE EVERYTHING! ❞

- Chanyeol -

------------------

❝ It is really hard and tiring. But this is what we dreamed of since we were kids, so no matter how hard it is, we won't give up. ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

EXO always thinks that they will be replaced by other groups. They strive to beat themselves, push themselves so hard to the breaking point, but they still said they did nothing.

They always pray before going on the stage and during music awards. Seeing them pray really makes me emotional...

Just by looking at their faces when they won big awards such as daesang, you can tell how happy and proud they are. They work so hard for it...

Remember when EXO cried during their first daesang? They also cried during their first win on music show.

❝ When they announced that EXO win the daesang, my mind went blank. Tears start flooding my eyes. But I didn't let the tears fall, because I'm a man. ❞

- Luhan -

------------------

❝ Today’s award is so meaningful. There are so many people whom we are grateful. Teacher Lee Sooman, SM family, our parents, all the staffs and manager, thank you so much. ❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ There’s a saying in China that is "The Yangtze River’s back waves will push off the waves in front". But I hope EXO can prove this saying to be false and always stays at the top. ❞

- Lay -

4. EXO is one of the most humble, kind and polite group.

One of the thing that I truly love about EXO is their kindness and politeness. They respect their seniors and appreciate others. Money and fame never gets into their head.

❝ You all are very kindhearted. That’s the only word I can think of right now. With your kind of teamwork and mindset, I think it is completely possible. ❞

- JYP's words for EXO -

I think one of the reason why EXO is really successful is because they did good things in the past. Even until now, they still help people in need and always be kind to everyone. They're popular now, but their attitude is still the same.

EXO revealed that in the past, they train themselves to give loves to people. So they decided to help the orphanage at the children's centre.

EXO always involves in charity works and volunteer at children's centre. They often visit the children's centre to help and give love to the children.

EXO volunteered steadily ever since debut to help people in need and now EXO-Ls are following their good actions. 😊

• Suho couldn't involve in a charity project because he was busy, so he gave funds and showed his support although he can't join the project.

• Chen always greet people no matter who it is and give his brightest smile to everyone. He is also very friendly. Chen is called "The Textbook of Kindness".

• Sehun has donated 10 million won and 20,000 briquettes to children's centre and he's been doing this since debut without us knowing.

• Lay gave huge donations to the victims of earthquakes in China but he asked the people (who's in charge of collecting the donation) for not telling anyone that he's the one who gave the donations.

• Chanyeol has an enormous heart for everyone, and cares deeply about their well-being. Even when he was unaware that cameras were filming him, Chanyeol once showed his love and affection towards a stray cat.

They are very humble and down-to-Earth.

____________________________

They are popular, rich and well-known now, but their attitude is still the same. Money and fame never change them.

Whenever they work with people, they never forget to bow and greet everyone. Every time EXO act in dramas and movies, the director always praise EXO's members attitude. EXO never forgets to greet people kindly and politely.

They respect their seniors and appreciate their juniors.

_______________________________

Although EXO is popular now, they still look up to their seniors. They never forget their seniors' helps when they were a new group back then.

❝ Without our seniors, we cannot win and be where we are now. Thank you to our seniors. ❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ When I watched the stage of our senior SECHSKIES, I don’t know why but I teared up. I learned a lot from them today. I have only one thought right now, and that is that I want to stand on stage for the next 10 years, 20 years, until forever together with our EXO-L. ❞

- Suho -

EXO cares a lot about their juniors such as NCT and Red Velvet. They always help their juniors and never forget about them. Maybe that's why NCT said that EXO is the best senior group :) and they appreciate their juniors a lot.

"To be honest, I was deeply impressed by the stages of our juniors such as BTS, TWICE, MAMAMOO, SEVENTEEN and Red Velvet. ❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ We know that there are so many groups now. For us, actually NCT is like our younger brothers whom we love so much. EXO members also watch Wanna One dances a lot, and we can follow along the dance. We get motivated, and make us prepare harder to become a better example. ❞

- Suho -

They're modest and humble.

__________________________

EXO may be popular and rich now, but they still act the same way. Fame and popularity never change them.

-------------

❝ I'm just a normal person, enjoying my life at twenties. I'm not good at anything. ❞

- Kyungsoo -

------------------

❝ If my bows could represent my respect and gratitude, then I hope that you don't think I bow too much. For everything you have done, even a hundred or thousands of bows are not enough ❞

- Lay -

------------------

❝ Every time we received the big awards, I couldn’t be merely happy. Because I thought we didn’t deserve these awards and many thoughts come up to us. ❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ Everyone is the same. We just happen to have a slightly more specialized career, but we’re not any different or more special than other people. I think that we have a job where we receive a lot of love for [what we do], so we need to know how to give love as well. ❞

- Chen -

------------------

❝ There will be times when it becomes tiring, but just bear with it a little, and it will be over. ❞

- Lay -

------------------

❝ No one is perfect. It's all about what your personality and heart is like. You are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you that you aren't. ❞

- Chen -

------------------

❝ You can't be happy every day, but there's always things to be happy about every day. ❞

- Xiumin -

------------------

❝ You are pretty now. But if you don't learn to love yourself, even if you're pretty you're not truly considered as a beauty ❞

- Suho -

EXO never stop doing charities I'm crying they're such angels

5. EXO appreciate EXO-L and always put the fans before them.

EXO always makes their fans feel special. They never forget about their fans. Some people might say,

"EXO doesn't care about their fans like our favourite group does"

Well, obviously you don't know EXO.

▶ EXO prepare their own project for EXO-L. During EXO'rDIUM [dot], EXO went on the stage with 9 play cards written-

"EXO-L, Let's Go Together"

▶ EXO worries about the fans' safety so much that during a fansign, a fan fell because a few fans were pushing her. EXO gets angry and said EXO-L should be careful and not pushing each other.

▶ Lay is always busy but he never forgets to read all his fan letter.

▶ Sehun framed and keeps all the fanarts that EXO-L make for him.

▶ Chen, Lay and Sehun say EXO-L should not spend too much money on buying EXO's album. The fans should use their money on loved ones instead.

▶ EXO always reminds EXO-L to study hard and become smart students.

▶ EXO prepares food for EXO-L to show their loves towards the fans.

EXO prepares food for EXO-L while waiting for the music show to start. The foods prepared by EXO members are free of charge and special for EXO-L.

At the top of a tteokbokki cart prepared by Baekhyun and Sehun, they told fans,

❝ EXO-L, dad is leaving early for work... If you see this, chew slowly and precisely, and fill up your stomachs. See you later! ^^ ❞

For the pasta cart prepared by Chanyeol, he wrote, "Don't starve!!"

While for another drink cart prepared by Baekhyun and Sehun, they wrote,

❝ Eat well. EXO-L is the best. ❞

Another cart full of beverages and churros, prepared by Kyungsoo, he told the fans,"EXO-L, eat well!"

Xiumin and Kai prepare 3 food trucks for EXO-L. Chicken fried rice (two trucks) and drinks (one truck). Chanyeol prepared a waffle truck for EXO-L. 5 different types of waffles and 13 different types of drinks.

EXO never forget us, EXO-L. So we should never forget about them too. Remember our promise?

EXO and EXO-L together forever.

Let's not break that promise and stay together forever, even if one day we all get old and EXO has disband.

EXO 2013 :

❝ EXO-L, we love you. Thank you for your love and support. ❞

EXO 2017 :

❝ EXO-L, we love you soo muchhh. We never forget about you. You won't forget us too right? ❞

------------------

[EXO-L is known as the silver ocean]

❝ We love silver. We cannot see that in other concerts, only when it is us. So no matter where you are, wave it. And we will be able to find you. ❞

- EXO -

------------------

❝ To our EXO-L, even though it looks like we don't know what's going on, we see, we hear, and we know. So we want you to know that. Our fans, we thank you and we love you. ❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ I want to marry the fans. Don't laugh, it's my dream. ❞

- Chanyeol -

------------------

❝ There's a book by Lee Sooman, about EXO. And to write history, you need a pen. EXO-Ls are the pen. ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

❝ To all of you, EXO-Ls.... For the tenths and hundreds times, because of EXO-L, EXO has become stronger although we are not perfect. ❞

------------------

❝ And most importantly to our EXO-L who love us endlessly and always support us, I love you with all my heart and soul. ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

❝ EXO-L, take care of yourself. Because if you hurt, our heart is hurt too. ❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ It feels like you are always waiting for us. As EXO, we're very sorry. We work days and night so you could feel proud of us. You always listens to our music and always supporting us. We're moved and always want to thank you. ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

❝ We couldn't do this alone. Without the fans below the stage, we wouldn't be here. ❞

- Chen -

Thinking about how much EXO loves and appreciate EXO-L makes me emo. It gets me all the time. They always thank us when actually it is us who should be thankful to them T-T

These 9 boys never forget to smile at the fans and greet the fans whenever they have chances. Although they're popular and rich now, they always keep their heads down. So much love for these sweet, caring and loving boys ♡

6. EXO love each other, they are like real brothers.

"EXO's friendship is fake"

"EXO's friendship is just a business"

"EXO bully each other"

EXO's friendship is fake?

Well, here's a few fun facts :

♥ EXO always call and text each other although they're busy.

♡ When EXO members are separated and far away from each other, the members will make video calls if they miss each other.

♥ EXO members will cheer each other up whenever they're sad.

♡ Before going on the stage, EXO will do the group hug and shout "EXO, Let's Love!"

♥ EXO members always encourage each other to work hard so that they all can achieve their dreams together.

♡ When any of the members is sick, the rest of the members will buy medicine and Baekhyun likes to hug the members when their head hurts.

♥ EXO will sit with gaps if any of the members is missing.

♡ EXO is rich now and every member could buy their own house, but they still want to live together at the dorm.

♥ OT12 after Kris, Luhan, Tao left ♥

• In 2015, Kris buys EXO's LMR repackage album (both version)

• After Kris left, Chanyeol put a photo of Kris on his instagram with the caption, "No matter what, all with you ♥" (He later delete the post)

• Chanyeol stopped and stared at Kris' Mr. Six poster. Then he took a picture of Kris in the poster.

• Tao went to Korea to support EXO-CBX

• Q: Yixing recently set up his own studio. Do you have anything to say to him?

LUHAN: I just want to say that he is very lucky. We are walking on different paths but I wish him success and stay healthy.

• LAY: I remember when I was still a trainee back in Korea, Luhan took really good care of me. We're brothers for life.

• BAEKHYUN: Back in the past, when we were 12 members... Ahh- I mean, when all of us used to live together...

XIUMIN: It's okay...

BAEKHYUN: Xiumin hyung would wake up the earliest to wake everyone up.

Whatever happens, no matter how many members left, they will always be brothers for life ♡

❝ EXO members are like the existence of water and oxygen. I don't think I'll be able to live without them. ❞

- Baekhyun -

------------------

❝ Brothers that I must have! ❞

- Sehun -

------------------

❝ Other than my family... They are the most important people to me. ❞

- Luhan -

------------------

❝ I meet the right people in Korea, but at the wrong time. ❞

- Kris -

------------------

❝ The most touching moment is when the members celebrated my birthday… ❞

- Chen -

------------------

❝ The practice room feels so empty. It used to be very noisy when we were practising together.... I miss them a lot.❞

- Suho -

------------------

❝ If one day we couldn't stay together as a team, I hope we are still lifetime buddies. ❞

- Luhan -

━━━━━━•●•━━━━━━

EXO is too precious for words. People may hate them, saying their music is shit, they only popular because of their looks, they are losing their popularity, but whatever happens, I won't leave EXO.

Would you leave EXO?

❝ We become each other's strength during hard times. ❞

- Suho -

Haters are going to bring EXO down all the time. But guess what? EXO-L will protect EXO, always.

Haters, before you judge EXO, try to walk in EXO's shoes. Put your feet in EXO's shoes for once and you will feel how painful it is. Try to feel how many broken glasses in their shoes until they got so much scars from these broken glasses you put in their shoes and their feet was bleeding badly, just like their hearts. They fall lots of time but they stand up every time they fall.

❝ Although there were good thing and bad things happens, I think that it has made us become stronger. Just like the saying "The ground hardens after the heavy rain", we hope to continue becoming the strong EXO. ❞

- Chanyeol -

After reading all this...

Do you still think you shouldn't vote for EXO cause it's not important?

Do you still feel like voting and streaming for EXO is a waste of time?

As an EXO-L, I think I have to remind my family how precious our kings are. Let's give EXO the happiness they deserve. Stream and vote for EXO.

Whenever you feel tired, just remember how EXO spend 90% of their life just to entertain us and to make us happy.

❝ Because of us, there is EXO. Because of EXO-Ls, there is EXO. Because WE ARE ONE, there is EXO. ❞

- Suho -

1 phrase, 3 words.

WE . ARE . ONE .

Hold onto these 3 words and there's nothing we can't do.

Hope, hard work, pray, determination, loyalty, and LOVE.

EXO will always be EXO.

Lots of people are waiting for EXO to falldown.

People said EXO is losing their popularity.

Other fandoms vote us as "The Worst Fandom"

People called EXO "Flop"

Is this what EXO deserves?

If you're angry, use your anger to vote for EXO instead of using it for fanwars.

Let out your power.

I know we can do it.

Let's show them what this "Worst fandom" can do.

I believe in EXO-L.

We Are One, forever 💕

Most of EXO’s story as a kpop artist is them being a phenomenon. They have always been popular, and yet.. it’s not a happy story. Everything good and bad that happened in their career is a cesspool of their sudden success,a demanding work environment, overpassionate fan and antifans, a powerful exploitative company and huge media attention.

EXO had two units when they debuted- EXO M and EXO K. One promoted in China and the other in Korea.

They had a lot of antifans when they debuted, most of them included internet groups in China. Since EXO M was a Korean company managed group and had started to gain traction among young chinese teens, anti groups were formed (many, allegedly, funded by Chinese media companies) that started spreading baseless rumors about certain members. There were several in the fandom, specially Chinese, and they kept targeting each other’s favorite members.

For example: Former members Kris’ and Tao’s solo fans had such intense fanwars that the defamation rumors started hurting their families. I remember, back in 2012, Tao started crying at a show EXO M attended. A group of his fans stood up from the audience, sang a song to him and gave an emotional speech about supporting him against the intense online bullying no matter what.

The members (like all other kpop idols) had to survive pressures related to maintaining appearances. Xiumin, in particular, was constantly fat shamed and he revealed it in later years he was emotionally traumatised, super conscious about his appearance and forced himself to diet back then. ( I am happy he revealed last year he is eating healthier right now.)

I do not know why EXO fans try to deny that they gained a lot of passionate fans shortly after debut, which they did. Obviously they were very highly anticipated since they were a big, awaited project from SM.

But people tend to forget that sudden fame has vicious repurcussions. Not only did EXO attract flak from fans of other SM groups, who felt that EXO was stealing the resources from their favorites, they also had tonnes of who violated their privacy several times. Despite what people perceive of them, most of EXO are very camera shy and introverted, and back in 2012–13 some of them were traumatised to the point they ran away at the sight of cameras.

Back to the beginning again- when EXO debuted with Mama, it wasn’t received well by the Korean public. Debuting in SM means EXO had the SM group stigma, which was particularly strong back in 2011–12. YG entertainment had always been heads to head with SM, and the YG CEO often mediaplayed his groups as being the “artists” who made “real music” on the backbone of his successful acts like Big Bang, as compared to the SM acts that were supposedly “plastic” and “manufactured”. Such a media environment meant that the chances of them gaining a serious audience outside of teenagers were minimal- despite them being backed by the name of a huge music Label.

The interval between ‘MAMA’ and the next comeback ‘Wolf ‘ was a year. Fans were not sure what was happening, There were rumors that Kris tried leaving the group, but came back.

With ‘Wolf’, EXO had some changes in their lineup. Instead of 2 separate groups of 6, they promoted as 12 on all music shows and had their first musicshow win after a year of debut. The song wasn’t well received at all by the general public, but thanks to fan support, they survived flopping completely.

That’s all fair though. If a song isn’t well received then it’s not well received. Anyways, they blew up with Growl, which I personally think was their happiest era before the brewing storm. However, they gained a lot of haters in that era due to their popularity and fanatic stans. They also got stuck with a flower boy image with the public. It took them several years to come out of the shadow of the super success Growl was.

I won’t continue from here. We all know what happened in 2014 and since.

Summary: they weren’t eating rocks since they had a big debut, but it does not mean it was a smooth ride! (Not to forget, pre debut EXO, like other idol rookies, practiced endlessly to get selected to debut, and lived frugal trainee lives). They have worked hard as entertainers all these years. Nobody has the right to say they deserve anything less than they have or that they suffered less than anyone else did.

EXO's Baekhyun goes off on sasaeng fans who were waiting in front of his apartment

EXO’s Baekhyun uploaded a lengthy message via the LYSN app regarding a sasaeng fan incident that happened to him recently.

The artist expressed his anger when he came home to find two sasaeng fans waiting in front of his apartment.

The message states:

“I’m really sorry to have to say this on such a lovely day but I must because it is so painful. I’m worried that a situation might happen where our kind Eri’s will be seen negatively by everyone when they upload on Instagram and Twitter. I don’t want to negatively affect anyone... But I really feel like I have to say this. Two female individuals (sasaengs) were just in front of our house and floor after I finished my schedules and came home. Thankfully I was with my manager. But during that moment I was scared. How did they find out? You can’t even see what floors people are going to from outside our apartments. And we never rode the same elevator together. Did they look through all the mailboxes? Many thoughts cycled through my head that made me feel anxious. Also, you know I remember faces well right? One of the people had a mask on but it was someone I had seen before. They said they wanted to support me but they have two faces. I was really hurt. Those two would probably see this right? I’m begging you. Please protect my privacy. I beg you.”

EXO Baekhyun (S.M. Entertainment) is making a comeback with a new solo album "Delight" today (25th).

Baekhyun's second mini-album "Delight" will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. today, and the music video for the title song "Candy" will also be released simultaneously on YouTube and Naver TV SMTOWN channels.

Even before its release, the new album "Delight" has drawn keen attention, surpassing 730,000 pre-orders, and Baekhyun revealed his new song's story and goals before embarking on full-fledged activities.

Here's how Baekhyun feels about his comeback and answers about his new album.

Q1. It's a solo album released about 10 months after the first mini album. How do you feel about the comeback?

I'm very nervous as I'm making a comeback with a solo album after a long time, but I'm excited and happy to think of the fans who waited for my album.

Q2. Please introduce your second mini-album 'Delight'.

- 'Delight' means 'pleasure' in a dictionary sense, and I wanted to give joy to many people through this album. (laughs) And as I have the supernatural power of "Light" in EXO, I wanted to include "Light" in the album's name, but I chose "Delight" to give the impression that it's connected to my solo debut album "City Lights." Including the title song "Candy," there are 7 songs in various moods, so please listen to it a lot.

Q3. What kind of song is the title track "Candy"? What's your point of appreciation?

- 'Candy' is a trendy R&B song, and the lyrics compare my various charms and looks to various flavors of candy. If you look closely, there are many sensuous and sensual expressions that express the taste of "adult cinnamon, funny mint," so I think this will be the point of appreciation.

Q4. "Candy" is a song that compares Baekhyun's charm to "Sweet." What flavor do you think would suit you best?

- I'll have a sour and sweet strawberry flavor. I personally like strawberries.

Q5. We're going to perform "Candy" together. What kind of dance is it? What did you pay particular attention to?

- I worked with Kasper, a choreographer and an old friend of mine. He used to teach us popular dances. Since Candy is a trendy song, it's a song that fits the style of the song. It's also a hip dance that's gaining popularity globally. It's a song that melts hip movements. Especially, I paid a lot of attention to the choreography of the chorus part.

Q6. How did EXO members react when they heard the title song "Candy?

All the members cheered for us saying that the song was so good. SUHO and CHANYEOL came to the music video set and gave a lot of strength. (laughs)

Q7. From your first solo album to this album, you're showing R&B genre. What genre do you want to try in the future?

- After some time, I'd like to challenge the genre of rock ballads. I've been listening to various genres of music lately, and I personally felt that rock ballads have a great effect on me.

Q8. What's your favorite "Delight" to make Baekhyun happy these days?

Apples! (laughs) These days, I try to eat apples for my first meal every day. I don't think I've been thinking much about my health so far, so I'm living my life to improve my immune system and take care of my health.

Q9. Do you have any goals you want to achieve with your debut album?

- I want to strengthen my position as a solo artist through this album, and I want to impress many people. And as always, I hope you can listen to my voice and feel healing.

[TF Focus] Baekhyun shines and "light"

[The Fact | Reporter Jung Byung-keun] Baekhyun has several positions. Starting with EXO, EXO-CBX and SuperM, and now male solo vocalists with unique positions. Knowing how to shine the team as a member, he makes a very bright and attractive light on his own.

Baekhyun, who started to make his own color with his mini-album "City Lights" in July last year, released his second mini-album "Delight" on the 25th. Keywords that penetrate the two albums are "R&B" and "Light."

Baekhyun imprinted "vocalist Baekhyun" through various variations based on R&B in his two solo albums released in 10 months. He delivered a variety of stories and sensibilities, sometimes dreamy, sometimes sensuous, and sometimes sexy, with a sweet, soft voice.

The title song of this album is Candy. With a futuristic R&B song that has an impressive wave of trendy melodies over addictive synth sounds, Baekhyun's colorful charm is likened to various flavors of candy and the lyrics are witty.

Baekhyun said through his agency, "If you look closely, there are many sensuous and sensual expressions that taste like 'Adult Cinnamon, a little funny mint,' so this will be a point of appreciation," and added, "Performance has melted hip movements that are gaining popularity globally these days."

In addition, Baekhyun captured an urban image in "R U Ridin?" (Ah You Riding?), and in "Bungee," he sang about the process of falling in love with the piano melody and swimming in the sea, and expressed the mournful emotion of losing his loved one in "Underwater."

In addition, "Poppin," which expresses the feelings of happiness that burst out when one feels love with honest lyrics and sophisticated emotions, "Ghost," which expresses the difficulty of parting by comparing the lover who remains like a reflection after leaving to ghosts, and "Love Again," which yearns for love.

The achievement has already surpassed the previous one. The album "Delight" sold 620,000 copies (Hanteo Chart) on the first day of its release alone, easily surpassing 380,000 copies sold at the beginning of its previous album (a week after its release). The new album also topped iTunes' top 68 regional albums charts.

"Delight" has also surpassed 100,000 copies on China's QQ Music's digital album sales chart. The album sales surpassed 2 million yuan in just three hours and 38 minutes after its release, making Baek the first Korean singer to reach 2 million yuan this year.

The title track "Candy" topped music charts of Melon, Genie and Vibe as of 7 a.m. on the 26th, the day after its release. Even at 1 p.m. on the same day, "Candy" is ranked third on Melon and all seven songs in the album are in the 14th place.

Baekhyun won the "Mnet Asian Music Awards" male singer award and the "Golden Disc Awards" album award for his first solo mini-album "City Lights" last year. He successfully performed as SuperM in October and EXO in November, and received a lot of love in January for the OST of the drama "Romantic Doctor Kim Sabu."

And less than a year after the release of his first solo album, he achieved great achievements in music and performance with his second solo album "Delight."

EXO debuted in 2012 with each member's supernatural team concept. Baekhyun is in charge of 'light'. That's why Baekhyun said he really wanted to include "light" in the album's name. Baekhyun is shining as if he is really using his superpowers.

EXO Baekhyun Unveils New Stage Video of 'Candy' + All Kills Global Chart

[OSEN=Reporter Ji Min-kyung] The stage video of "Candy," the title song of EXO Baekhyun (S.M. Entertainment), who made a splendid comeback with his second mini-album "Delight," has been released.

The "BAEKHYUN THE STAGE" video, which was released on YouTube and Naver TV EXO channels at 8 p.m. on the 26th, drew attention as it was the first time to meet Baekhyun's new song "Candy," and attracted attention by showing Baekhyun's rhythmical and sophisticated performance with two concepts: a sweet version with a bright atmosphere and a spicy version with cool and hip charm.

In addition, Baekhyun's candid new album interview video will be released at 8 p.m. today (27th), and various videos such as eye contact cam, one-take version, and making clip will be released sequentially through "BAEKHYUN THE STAGE," which is expected to draw keen attention.

Baekhyun also topped iTunes' top albums chart in 69 regions around the world with Nicaragua added to the music charts, becoming the first Korean singer to be on the "Double Platinum" album this year on China's largest music site QQ Music, as well as topping the QQ Music, Cugou Music, Cougar Music digital album sales charts and music charts in Korea.

Meanwhile, Baekhyun's second mini-album "Delight" includes the title track "Candy?" 'R U Ridin'?", "Bungee", "Underwater," "Popin," "Ghost," and "Love Again".

"Pre-order 730,000 + song-pulling" Baekhyun, a solo artist who is already finished [SS Music]

[Sports Seoul Kim Sun-Ki] “Baekhyun was Baekhyun”

Baekhyun, a member of the group EXO, has solidified his position as a solo artist again with his new album "Delight." Baekhyun released his second mini-album 'Delight' on the 25th. Since then, the title track "Candy" has swept top music charts such as Melon and Genie right after its release, and has been ranked at the top of the charts ever since, giving listeners eardrum healing.

"Candy" is a witty R&B song that compares Baekhyun's charm to various flavors of candy. Combining Baekhyun's soft tone, the addictive song has been completed. Baekhyun's charm has captivated not only Korea but also the world. It topped iTunes' Top Albums chart in 68 regions around the world, including the United States, Japan, France, and Indonesia. In the aftermath of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), no promotion or offline schedule was possible, but her ability as a solo singer was recognized upon release.

Baekhyun has already shown extraordinary potential from his first album. He became a half million seller with more than 500,000 sales of his first solo album "City Lights" released in July. He is also the best solo artist of last year. On top of that, he also broke his own record this time. Baekhyun's new album surpassed 730,000 pre-orders alone, establishing himself as a so-called "recording singer" in the music-based music market.

Earlier, Baekhyun revealed his goal through his agency SM Entertainment, "I want to strengthen my position as a solo artist through this activity," and it seems that he has already achieved his goal with two solo albums. In addition, Baekhyun's "Butterfly and Cat," featuring Bolbbalgan4 songs, is also dominating the music charts for a long time, and his new album also boasts a unique presence, lining up not only the title song but also the songs in the album.

He is also expanding his career as a solo artist by singing the OSTs of SBS' "Hyena" and "Romantic Doctor Kim Sabu 2." In addition, during the military white period that occurred to EXO when Xiumin, D.O., and Suho joined the army, individual activities are considered to be more important, and Baekhyun is actively working as a solo artist and turning on the green light. "Baekhyun's existing fandom is also solid, but it seems to be more and more meaningful in terms of popularity," a K-pop industry source said. As a solo artist, I'm taking an ideal path," he hinted.

WATTPAD

DOINGS OF SASAENG FANS

The Korean music industry is bigger than the Japanese these days. Let's face it, they have more popular idol groups an the bigger fanbase worldwide.

EXO fans are unfortunately labeled as the worst fan base in KPOP industry. Worse than TVXQ's.
That is one serious allegation since if memory served me right, even if they are already JYJ and DBSK, the fans are still reported to be anything but sane. Now blogs are comparing those to EXO's. How and why?

For those who doesn't know the term, Sasaeng fans are basically groups of batshit crazy obsessive Korean fanatics. They are the Korean counterparts of the Japanese Yarakishi. However, where the Japanese idols are heavily gaurded by their agencies, the fans of Korean stars could have a more direct access to their famed idols, stalking and harassing them to no end has became their favorite pastime, hoping for that one fateful day where their lovely Oppas would fall in love with them and shit.
So I find it quite unfair for others to judge the entire fanbase based on them alone.

So what is it that they've truly done against EXO all these years? Let me count the ways. Made the list from various sources, so I am not so sure with the accuracy.

📍 Delayed in the airport on the way to Philippines, EXO saw the number of fans growing around them. Kai was standing near the stairs when a fan grabbed him all of the sudden. He fell and injured his knees and chin. Luhan injured his hand too.

📍 Luhan had similar incident, the fans were groping him all over until Baekhyun helped him up.

📍 A fan bought an identical van as EXO's using it as trap as it waits outside locations where EXO were holding activities. Luhan once mistook it for theirs and almost climbed in if it weren't for his manager.

📍 While in a US hotel, a fan/s had installed a recording device in the bathroom and successfully recorded the sounds of Tao showering and humming a song. Took some photos too.

📍 Lay went back to his waiting room to find all their bags opened and their contents strewn around.

📍 D.O got hurt on his eye because he got hit by a DSLR camera by a sasaeng fan in the airport.

📍 EXO fans were banned from being in SBS 'Inkigayo', where EXO was to have pre-recordings and live shows. This is due to most of the fans have always been deaf to staff instructions like no recording, no taking of pictures, etc.Some Fans were on their knees crawling around outside EXO's dorm so when people asked what they were doing, they said they were trying to find EXO's stray hairs.

📍 When an EXO member use a bathroom, the other members guard the door so the fans won’t take pictures or film the other member doing his business.

📍 A Chinese sasaeng fan sneaked into EXO-M’s waiting room and wrote “Zhang Yixing I love you” on the mirror and put her love letters into Lay’s bag

📍 With the LoL World Championship coming up, many pro gamer’s names started to pop up on search rankings. One name stood out for the EXO fans. So they've have gotten together for a petition to get League of Legends pro gamer “Exo” to change his name.

📍 A passionate fan uploaded a picture on her SNS account. So what's so special with this one? Apparently she willingly carved her love for EXO on her arm.

Considered 'normal' EXO sasaeng fan activities.
1. Renting vans to follow the group's schedule the whole fucking day.
2. Waiting outside dorms and hotels the whole fucking day.
3. Jaywalking during rush hour to follow EXO around the whole fucking day.
4. Booking tickets to the flights. Taking lots of photos of course, these girls just do everything.
5. Obtaining their personal phone numbers and calling them at night.

In an interview with Sports Seoul just last month, EXO shared their feeling towards their sasaeng fans. The members stated together that they were being a huge problem, not only for themselves, but for the innocent people around them as well. They stated that the sasaengs have been harmful to their neighbors and anyone who is in their general vicinity at any moment.

DO's priceless reaction to seeing
sasaeng fans waiting outside
D.O stated,

“Personally, since we have so many sasaeng fans, I’ve started to feel victimized. It’s gotten to the point where my mood becomes negative even towards our normal fans. Even my personality has changed. Even though I used to be shy and cautious around strangers, because of our sasaeng fans, I have become even more so.”

EXO-K’s leader Suho tried to stay polite when discussing sasaeng fans. He said,

“We hope you will support us at official events and concerts, and we thank you for your passion and your support, but we also have our own private lives. If you love us, please refrain from being sasaeng fans.”

But hey on the lighter note, compared to other KPop stars, EXO is still "safe" by the current standards. There's still no bloody letters that were actually sent, no anti-fans threatening them, no pictures of them sleeping in their rooms...YET. I don't think any Korean sasaengs would read this post of mine, but I sure hope that these species would be eradicated by means of personal conversion back to sanity and reality.

Anyway, last month, EXO sasaeng fans crashed Baekhyun’s brother’s wedding, another layer of cement to seal their reputation. This is just amazing.

"The wedding was quiet before the EXO members appeared," the person posted. "When three of them stood up to sing the congratulatory song, they rushed forward and stood on chairs to film videos. During the cake cutting, they ignored the couple since the idols were at the back, they tried to get autographs and pictures."

"They didn't listen when the members told them to stop and they'll do it later," the poster continued. "During the family photo, all of them mobbed together and took the picture. Thought it was a press event. Everyone else was getting angry and the couples' faces were getting darker."

Anon commented about the newest update on the EXO sasaeng and I just cannot let this pass by:

So a published post from Kakaostory app became viral this week. In it, the so called fan claimed she broke into EXO-K’s dormitory and stole one of D.O’s boxer briefs! How the fuck did she managed to do it? Well, the she is obviously proud since she went on bragging and even contemplating another trip to her oppa's dorm.

"I am selling the underwear of Do Kyung Soo (D.O). I personally got it from their dorm. It was extremely hard for me to obtain. I am thinking it's worth 10,000 won (~ $10 USD). You don't believe me? There were a couple of hair strands on the underwear that you could test for DNA. I also have socks. Do not argue or tackle one another. I'm going to go next week to get Sehun's underwear if you want to reserve it. I could not get through EXO-M's thorough security. This item was something I was able to barely obtain. I'm selling hair strands, too."

Recently here are two more sasaeng events but I'll just add them next week.

After gatecrashing Baekhyun's bro's wedding (mentioned earlier), it was noticeable how EXO was embarrassed by their fans' behaviour and everyone was sorry that it had disturbed the reception big time. It turns out it wasnt the end of it. Last September, a sasaeng fan posted a disturbing message from her Daum account.

“Baekhyun-ah, I told you

Stop messing around, or we really don’t know what we’ll do next
Why do you think we went all the way there and caused a fuss?
Our puppy is so cute when he’s mad
But it’s time to tone down that personality isn’t it? You’re a public figure hehe
Try treating us like we’re insects one more time, we really don’t what we’ll do next time
And send your brother our congratulations on his wedding~”

Oh lol that was creepy, and speaking of creepy:

Last 2012, a Chinese fan snuck into EXO's waiting room last year, wrote on the mirror "I love you Zhang Yixing (Lay)" and then put her love letters INTO Lay's bag.

For the 7th episode of EXO’s Showtime, the members of the boy group went to Namsam Tower and wrote their wishes on their personal padlocks. For some background, Namsam Tower is known for the tradition of couples leaving padlocks on the security railings as a declaration of their eternal love.
Unsurprisingly, the sasaeng fans have to satisfy their need to break and steal EXO’s padlocks.

A known EXO fan called Kim Yeoshin was amazingly infamous due to her sasaeng activities:

📍 Remember the B.A.P stage during the Warrior era, Himchan was sweating like crazy? Kim Yeoshin put diarrhea medicine, oil & benzene in a coffee & gave it to Himchan before the stage.

📍 Kim Yeoshin added glue in coffee & gave it to DBSK's Yunho (U-Know). After that, he had to go to the ER because he had a seizure.

📍 She tried giving hydrochloric acid to B1A4's Baro but failed. *Hydrochloric acid can melt the organs in a body if they drink it wrong. (Benzene is a chemical that could cause leukemia and cancer on other blood cells.)

📍 She tried giving benzene to INFINITE's L but failed.

📍 She tried giving Dongwoo from INFINITE something weird to eat but failed.

📍 She was a sasaeng fan of INFINITE & bothered Dongwoo A LOT when she tried figured out his phone number.

Recently, she made a prediction that a popular idol will die this year. Apparently her new target is EXO's Sehun. A lot of Korean fans are aware of this development already and keep a close eye on poor Sehun, ready to scream murder if any fan tries giving him food. Some are saying that it may not be Sehun, but from the past actions of "Idol Killer Kim Yeoshin", noone is really safe eh?

Next! Remember that girl who claimed having Do's underwear? It turns out she posted another picture but this time, a screencap of an alleged concersation between EXO’s Tao and f(x)’s Luna. Apart from that she had also uploaded a capture of which she claims to be the contact list of Baekhyun’s mobile phone.

Last February 3, EXO's pop-up shop closed down. It's been open longer than anyone expected anyway. However the sasaengs believed they have to fight one last battle up to the final seconds. Naturally there was a commotion and when the chaos finally stopped, it was discovered that a signed, framed photo of EXO's Xiumin disappeared. It wasnt even put up for sale but someone obviously thought it means it's also ok to take it for free.

On July 22, 2014, EXO′s Se Hun surprised the netizens when he posted a warning message to ‘sasaeng’ fans on his personal Instagram account:

“This is the first and last time I will say this. Why is it that I receive so many text messages every single day when I haven’t done anything? Messages saying authorization number..password change..logged in with a different ip [address]..If you continue this ridiculous behavior, I will not stay put.”

Welp, I have no idea how hacking a member's online account would benefit a fan, but well, whatever rocks their boat. Also, earlier this month, a 21-year-old sasaeng fan called "Nam" was arrested for fraud. Apparently she rented an expensive camera equipment and sold them online without actually sending the product. She earned just about $4,600 USD.
Her reason of becoming a bogus seller?
She needed funds to continue stalking her favourite group EXO. It seems she's been kicked out of her parent's house, been jobless since high school graduation and prefers hanging around the cafe near EXO's dormitory instead looking for a goddamn job.
