I'm gonna be completely honest. Some EXO-Ls' ignorance really amazes me.

There's an article that Koreaboo wrote that said how Tao's lyrics in his new song was a message to SM and EXO. There's a part that says "The lost time is a part of an irreversible life. I’m not willing to remember part of that memory.. One love, where are you? I tried to find it, but I couldn’t find it." Honestly, that kind of ticks me off. If he's saying that his time in EXO was a waste of time and he felt no love from the fans, then I don't know what to say without pissing off some people. It was his time in EXO that created his huge crowd of fans. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be known so well by KPOP fans. Kris, Luhan, and him WOULDN'T be getting a salery triple of what they made before. They wouldn't have so many people knowing their names.

Some Tao fans need to stop believing that EXO and SM did nothing but give him . They gave him a name well known in the world of KPOP. They trained him to be the rapper/singer he is now. He wouldn't be this famous if he wasn't in EXO before. Yes, I believe that SM at taking care of their artists, but with their reputation, I feel as though the 3 members who left should have realized this when they auditioned. They've trained with their seniors, and if they didn't expect this, well, it's kind of their fault as well, isn't it? This is the compay of lawsuits, let's be real. It's only been 3 damn years, and they've lost 3 members.

I don't hate Tao. I was a fan of everyone in EXO12. But if his lyrics are really just throwing shade at EXO and SM, then this is just a big disappointment to me as a fan. He literally just used EXO as a stepping stone to his solo career and he's throwing shade at them. I understand that SM is ty, but cant he leave quietly?

Man, this blog post is making me sound like a huge hater and that I think SM is the best company ever, but I'm not and I don't. You can't deny that SM makes people big, but there's a price to everything. The business of the KPOP industry is dirty. Some fans need to stop being ignorant and realize the cold, hard facts that their bias isn't perfect and they need to stop being insolently rude to whoever says anything even remotely negative about them.

I really needed to rant and this is my go to place for kpop rants, so lmao. Sorry.
