Before I go on talking about EXO and Kris, I would like to share some of my thoughts about groups separating or leaving in SM. Through this post, I hope all EXO fans and fans alike will support EXO and us fans to be stronger and support both EXO and Kris.

When I got home last night, I stumbled upon the most shocking breaking news ever. Kris leaving EXO and terminating his contract with SM. This isn't the first thing that has happened with SM. It happened with TVXQ first, with JaeJoong, Junsu and Yoochun sueing the company. Being a fan of TVXQ since their debut, it was hard for me to accept the fact that they were no longer together as five, that I would never see them live as 5, hear their godly harmonise voices for the japanese songs and most of all, I won't be able to see them interact together. When that happened, I didn't go to school for a month. The shock was so strong I couldn't believe or come to accept it. But as time went by I came to accept the fact that JYJ would never come back to SM and TVXQ will never be the same anymore. But that didn't stop me from loving them. What hurted me the most was that fans who were saying "I'm a Jaejoong fan so I'll support JYJ." and vice-versa. As a true TVXQ fan, I didn't choose who to support. As a true TVXQ fan, I continued to support both TVXQ and JYJ. I continued to believe that one day that they'll come back as five but I know that will never happen, which is why I will always Keep The Faith. Even until now, I still juggle between JYJ and TVXQ and there are times I look back at their old variety shows and things now, I realised who different it was and how empty it felt with the other three or two members. TVXQ is never TVXQ if they are not five. Every now and then, I dream that they suddenly come back as five, but I know that dream will never happen so I will keep dreaming. I love both of them and support them. I will always be a Cassie that love and support TVXQ and JYJ.

Super Junior, they were the next group that I fell in love with. They first started with 12 members, then Kyuhyun was added into the group and that's when they started winning more awards. I love Super Junior and I know that most fans believe that Super Junior should be always 13, but for me, I love both Henry and Zhoumi when they were added to SJ-M. I didn't like the fact that ELF didn't like Henry or Zhoumi. I never cared about groups adding new members in. I mean, if they were added into the group, they must be talented. I totally fell in love with Henry because of his talents with his violin and everything about him. I had lots of fun being an ELF, but that shattered when Hankyung/Hangeng filed a lawsuit against SM and left. I was hurt, shock and to be honest, I thought back to TVXQ. I thought "What if Super Junior were to be like TVXQ again?" "Why is it always SM?" I had many thoughts. I was really sad because Hankyung was my #1 favourite member in SJ. Then Kibum left to pursue acting. I still miss both of them and believe, like Leeteuk said before he entered the military; that one day, they will one the stage with 13 members. And I too, believe that one day will come. As an ELF, who had gone through what I experienced with TVXQ, I believed that I can move on, be stronger, support both SJ and the two members that left, and honestly I did. I moved on, still believing that one day, SJ will perform on the stage with Hankyung and Kibum. Even at a recent fansign event with Kibum, he said he would love/like/want to go back to SJ and he misses them too. Hankyung even said in an interview that the best moment that he enjoyed was the time he was in Korea.

Now, as for EXO and Kris. It was really shocking, really. They were doing so well, winning so many trophies for Growl and even had a comeback with Overdose and then the rumours of him leaving were really true. First TVXQ, then Super Junior and now EXO. I couldn't believe it at first but when I kept going through articles I couldn't really believe SM anymore. Why can't SM treat their artist with more care. They are HUMANS, they aren't machines! Confiscating their phones, that I understand, but ing using their phones to post things that aren't posted by themselves is going WAY TO BLOODY FAR! But as fans, we have to understand that being an idol isn't really good, especially with busy schedules, lack of sleep etc. There are fans out there who are butthurt about Suho's statement about Kris's departure but please think, I'm sure Suho doesn't want to say those words. The CEO is the one behind it, making him say it. Yunho had to say it too when JYJ filed the lawsuit. So EXO fans, please don't blame any members, I'm sure they are even more hurt due to Kris's sudden departure. They are the ones who being affected more. I know it will be hard to see the members sad face, fake smiles, pretending to be happy when Kris is no longer there with them in the dorms, on the stage, in the vans or no longer with them (hanging out). Most SM fans should know that SM doesn't really treat their artist well. So as EXO fans, please, I beg you to please to blame no members, love them, support them, believe them, support Kris's decision and move on to become stronger.

I'm saying this because if I got through to TVXQ separating, even though it was really hard to accept at first and with Super Junior two members leaving which was also hard to accept. I think I'll be able to come to accept the fact that Kris left EXO but I am sure that EXO will always be one. TVXQ will always be as five members for and the same for Super Junior.

I believe EXO fans (including me) will become more stronger, accept the fact that Kris left and continue supporting the both of them. Be strong EXO fans and I hope both you and EXO will be able to overcome this but never forget Kris in your heart <3 Remember, WE ARE ONE and NO ONE can ever REPLACE KRIS.
