EXO Issues

WARNING! IF YOU DON'T LIKE LONG BLOG POSTS, YOU MAY SKIP OVER THIS.

I'm so sorry that I write too much

 

So, It's been a while since I wrote a sincere blog post about my opinions and I think there are a lot of things to talk about now. This post is mainly going to be about EXO. They've been experiencing a lot of issues and they're also getting bashed quite a bit. So, I'm going to go into more detail on MY opinion on the whole situation. You don't have to read the whole thing cause I'm positive that this will be long. Like, reaaallllllyyy long.

Okay! Starting off with the first problem fans and the group have encountered. You probably guessed it. Kris's lawsuit. Yup, it's been a while since the news has been released but it's still constantly bothering me. I honestly wouldn't have thought that an EXO member would actually be leaving the group so soon after debut. The news was so sudden I didn't know if I should believe it or not. My whole family and I and even my friends who hate me rambling on about Kpop were in shock.

I'll be honest, I've been depressed for a while now as so my cousin and yes, even my mother. I'm not Kris biased and neither is my cousin, in fact we used to joke about Kris a lot. My mom IS Kris biased though (hope that's not weird...) and  I don't know, things aren't the same anymore.We're all sad over the fact that he may be leaving the group. It might sound stupid to some to be so attached to a group with people who don't even know you but I assure you, everyone has that kind of attachment to something. Kpop in general and especially EXO has actually made me closer to my family so that's why this is so big. I wasn't a fan before but both my cousins were huge fans. I never understood why they like Kpop so much and what was so good about it. A few years passed and I gave Kpop a try. I now know why they love it. Since I became a fan, my cousins who once never bothered talking to me actually grew closer to me. Our relationship is a lot better now. Same for my mom, she got into it seeing how we were all fans and she ended up liking Kpop too. So you see, Kpop has brought my relationships together and I'm very thankful. EXO plays a big part though because it's the group that we all genuinely love and fangirl about all the time. Kris filing a lawsuit just kinda shattered our expectations for the group and our views too. 

Aside from my life story, I guess you could say that I understand both the fans, haters, and Kris' side. For fans, I know there are a lot of you who are unhappy and I get it, you just want Kris to come back to the group and become ot12 again. Don't get me wrong, I want the best for the group and my feelings can't deny that I want Kris back in the group too. But we also have to think about what Kris wants. If we were loyal fans, we would support him and I do see a lot of fans doing that. I agree, it is SM's fault for not treating their idols properly but we can't always be biased here. It actually is Kris' fault too. He chose to file a lawsuit so he probably wants to terminate his contract with SM and live better or he might have also just wanted to get better treatment and stay with the group but I'm blaming him for being selfish. None of the other members filed a lawsuit, sure they may complain about the company but they didn't do anything like what Kris did. He could have endured everything like s did but no, he didn't and took action by himself. I know he has serious medical problems with his heart though but he could've sincerely asked SM to take care of him and s carefully. 

As for the haters who say that they're glad he's leaving the group, do you really call yourselves fans? To be a fan, you have to be loyal to the group and every member no matter what happens. Yes, it was all sudden and many people are angry but to actually say that you're glad is rude. Don't just blame Kris but the company too. We all have to understand both sides and not be biased. I'm going to end the whole Kris issue here with a good note. I heard that if Kris and SM come to an agreement over a contract, it's still possible for him to be in EXO again. Again, there are many nasty comments I've read on the article but I'm wishing him and the group the best to get it all resolved. EXO isn't one without Kris. O3t11 just doesn't feel right. If Kris really doesn't come back then my only wish for the group is to stop saying "We are one!" cause it pains me everytime knowing that they aren't actually one. 

 

So that was massive and this post is gonna get even bigger! YAAYY! Okay so the next thing I'm going to address is the Baekhyun and Taeyeon dating scandal. I don't really have much to say about them but I have my own opinions on this too. 

First of all, congrats to the couple! I'm pretty happy for them but at the same time I don't know how to feel. Again, many fans are both angry and sad finding out about the couple. I get it, it's normal but we have to learn to accept it. This is why I try not to get to attached to idols even though I probably already am... I'm guilty for being too Tao biased. Fans have to learn that idols have their own lives too and when it comes to who they end up dating, there can only be one person and there's a very slim chance that one of us would actually end up capturing our bias' heart. It may sound harsh but we have to be realistic here. As for fans who are upset over Baekhyun and Taeyeon's instagram posts, I won't go into detail but I do know why they would be angry. Fans think they've been tricked into thinking the couple was talking to them but they were actually communicating through posts. All I have to say is get over it. It's not that big of a deal. People do that all the time when it's really directed to a specific person. I'm not against their posts at all. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the couple. It's easy for me to say that because I'm not Baekhyun or Taeyeon biased but I understand the pain that the stans are experiencing. I won't blame you, you're not overreacting but the feelings will subside. I just hope that fans don't act careless and bash the couple and each individual because you don't approve of them. I'm just going to say congrats to the couple for being official and hope that everything goes well.

 

Ending of this shuper long blog post, I'm just gonna state that I've lost most of my genuine feelings on EXO. I'll probably be talking about other groups more instead of just EXO now. They're still one of my favourite groups but it's just not the same anymore. Everyone just needs a little time to settle down so I'm going to take a little space away for them. TAO'S STILL MINE THOUGH. NO ONE CAN STEAL HIM WHILE I'M TEMPORARILY GONE FROM THE FANDOM. Okay yeah, I'm ending it off here. I won't apologize for the amount of writing cause I did warn you.
