EXO

I've got to seriously stop thinking that the new group SM Ent's going to debut, that was said to have two divided groups, is going to replace Super Junior and SHINee.

Super Junior and SHINee

 

I have no problems with TVXQ at all since they are basically living legends and Cassies do keep the faith. TVXQ wouldn't just be forgotten because of all the marks that they've put on the kpop history, trust me. I believe they're quite loyal and they won't leave the fandom just like that. 

Super Junior has a really really really really big fanbase, and I do doubt people will forget them. The odds are at least 1 of them is going to keep on loving these boys until the end. They've been really active as a group, marking Super Junior's name at least somewhere in the kpop history, and as individuals. Members going in dramas, Siwon being the first male korean idol to ever reach a million followers on twitter, creating sub-units, having a lot of variety idols etc.

HOWEVER.

Super Junior's going to the military soon and it breaks my heart to see that there are some people out there that's falling out of love for the fandom mainly because of this reason. And what happens when a new group comes out? And SM even says that their latest album will be their last album for now. And I hope they mean for now becasue I'm anticipating futher works from Super Junior! What if SM's focusing more into giving EXO the full attention they need becasue they're rookies and would have less priorities towards those who are on hiatus? I don't know. 

  

Especially SHINee. They've only been in the entertainment industry for 3 short years and even though you're not  Shawol, no one can deny that when they debuted, all hell broke loose. They won every single (if not, most) New Comer awards in 2008 and they've already sang OSTs in dramas less than a year after they debuted, they already recieved 1st place on a comeback 5 or months after they debuted, they have a steady fanbase, and they have already marked their name in the kpop history, etc. 

But I don't think they have a loyal enough fandom that would stand by our 5 shining boys until the end. I have seen a lot of Shawols leave the fandom becasue they found a new one. I'm not going to name any groups but my friends who used to be Shawols, aren't anymore because of thatt specific group that caught their eyes. It's high chance that the same thing will happen when this new group debuts. I'm in serious denial rn, but I do think they won't be forgotten nonetheless. 

  

And you know Lee Soo Man, If he find out that EXO's doing better than any of his previous bands, knowing SME, he would probably prioritise that one band more than the other. And that specific other is going to be forgotten. But there's also a part of me that says 'No they're not going to get replaced. No No No.' 

Super Junior didn't replace TVXQ. SHINee didn't replace Super Junior and TVXQ. and I'm sure or at least hoping that EXO doesn't replace SHINee and Super Junior.

i really really hope so

Anticipating their debut though! They will be part of the SM Family after all (:

i'm still really worried though

aww soo true. and there are some rumors that SHINee is the next TVXQ. is that true? its really bothering me because no one can replace TVXQ. and SM can just make their own name for SHINee. -_-
