Will everyone please stop being so goddamn insensitive?!

I've been reading many posts about EXO's comeback being delayed. Many are annoyed and have expressed a huge disapproval about this, especially international fans. The music video was delayed, promotions were delayed, the release of the album was delayed. Yes, we all know that. But not everyone knows the reason why it's like that.

First of all, to the fans who does not know about the recent tragedy in South Korea that caused the whole country to mourn, was the ferry tragedy. It killed innocent people and more than 200 people are still missing. It's a serious case and everyone in South Korea is in grief. Everyone who's completely aware of the tragedy, especially them, could only pray for the lives lost and the ones who are still missing, in hopes that they all would be found.

It's really offensive and humiliating to see posts on many SNS accounts about the delay of EXO's comeback because of the tragedy. Yes, were all excited for EXO's comeback. We're fans and it's understandable that we all could not wait to see our idols to get back in the game.

But come on!!!

EXO's freaking teaser and facebook page is all filled with complaints and heated debates to why SM is still not releasing the music video for 'Overdose' and starting the boys' promotions.

SM Entertainment and the Korean entertainment industry as a whole has a legitimate reason to why everything is being halted. It's mainly to show respect to the whole nation who is mourning over the tragedy. It's just the right and moral thing to do.

And how could EXO even perform in front of their fans with a huge smile on their face when they clearly know that their fellow countrymen are suffering? It's just unethical, so everyone needs to understand why they've postponed the promotions and the awaited comeback of EXO.

I'm just asking everyone to not be so insensitive about this and understand what kind of situation South Korea is in right now. Yes, some people might not be from South Korea and does not care about the situation, but at least stop being so narrow-minded about the whole thing and at least try to understand everyone's perspective of the tragedy.

I thought SM delayed it because the sasaeng fans leaked the dance practice video. I didn't know about the ship incident...

But somehow, some international fans already watched the real mv but I have no idea where they got those. Were those vid leaked as well??

This needs to be posted on EXO's fan site YouTube page and anywhere else that people read.

Yeah. You're right unnie. If the boys, know that they have that kind of fans, they would be sad. I hate to say this, but alot of people here say that EXO had the worst fans ever, blah blah blah but guess what, it's true. /sigh/ the MV can wait, but the life of those hundreds of people can't be back.. Such an immature people. They just care about themselves.

Sigh..all of these immature people need to calm their down. EXO will have their comeback when the time is right. The mv can wait. Even I..the most impatient person in the world..yes..me..can wait for their mv and comeback at the end of the corner..that corner. Err yeah. Pls just wait patiently. Harping and barking and posting silly comments won't make SM release their mv.

On times like this..we can expect the boys to rest well in their dorm and sipping bubble tea. They need rest..i heard Tao has fever and Lay and Kai injured their waist again. Sigh. Be careful boys..rest rest rest. True fans can wait.

Im from Puerto Rico, and my fellow kpop stans and I have started a chain of prayers towards South Korea. May the families affected gain strength, faith and peace over time.

I know girl! Some people really are, as you say, insensitive. I saw some K-Pop Youtubers addressing this situation to. The first day I have to admit I was like that, because I didn't know about it yet, but after I did know about the incident of course I understood and even praised them for their sensitivity. But when I saw other people, who even knew about the incident, saying those things, I couldn't believe that I live in this kind of world where people put their entertainment over the lives of others...

Sigh. They've got some immature fans. They really don't have min sac they actually have to think about it and quit being some es. Sorry for you such language though. But I really mean it, they should quit it and pray for those who're suffering.

I really agree with you. Immature fans =_=

RiksiRixa #13 Apr 20, 2014 07:06:27

Don't they know that all the music shows and promotions were halted because of what happened? I even saw a comment saying, that if exo was in that ferry that person will kill koreans. And i was like wth? All of South Korea's mourning, then fans would say something as insensitive as that? They're making all exo fans look bad. And it's sad cause not all fans are like them, some fans understand. /sigh/
