1) KRIS LEAVING

So Kris decided one day a long time ago that he had had enough of SM and wanted to leave, found a company in China to help him out secretly and successfully applied to nullify his contract with SM in the middle of Overdose promotions, which perhaps is unfortunate because perhaps he originally wanted to leave after Overdose promotions but then the Sewol incident occured (RIP to all that have passed away), pushing Overdose forward. I guess that was perhaps an unintentional clash, but a clash either way.

Okay, so my own personal initial reaction was to be completely upset. Kris was my bias and I loved him and "stan"'d him the most, collecting stupid amount of images. I literally was at breaking point and got into a mini depressive state, wondering what went wrong. But then I saw Tao's post, Chanyeol's post, Sehun's post, Suho's words- it seemed not one of them had any idea Kris wanted to leave. It was then I was a little more suspicious about the whole ordeal- why, when, who- what went wrong, everything. It was then that I decided perhaps Kris was in the wrong. Most fans first complained a long time ago that SM treated EXO like Gods and all other SM artists like . The same people are saying SM treated EXO like . So for Kris to want to leave, let's think of reasons.

1) He's treated like .

2) He has little opportunities

3) Not happy (etc etc etc)

Even if he wasn't happy, or whatever, it still doesn't really add up. Luhan had a chance to act eventually- like all other groups in SM, each member would have grown in their own ways other than in EXO. Each EXO member's priority at the moment is to ensure their group stays afloat and doesn't sink down to the ground. Growl was a break through, Overdose was/is essential to prove EXO are still awesome and weren't a one-hit wonder. So for Kris to leave, it's going to sent a bit of water into the metaphorical EXO ship and give it a great load of uncertainty. Tensions between the members clearly grew- Lay walked alone, Tao cried, Suho looked like he was at breaking point- yet regardless of all this happening, EXO got their together and did their concerts with success.

So, EXO worked harder. What about the fans? There was a clear rip between the two kinds- the Kris stans/SM haters and the EXO-stans/SM lovers. It's caused fans to leave and hate EXO and SM, adding more water to the boat, water EXO cannot push out because each fan has their own mind.

Now, I know it seems SM is a terrible, nasty company who have made terrible mistakes in the past, but is no one here compassionate? No way are all of you guys angry people who think people never learn and change. SM is not one person. SM is a lot of people- it's literally a huge family under the spotlight, heavily criticised by millions, rumours spreading like hayfire about them, causing them all to speak out only to be taunted at, accused of being fake and untrue. If SM release statements, everyone shuns it anyway because lots of younger people are still too immature in thinking SM is simply evil.

Younger people, how do businesses work? Instead of explaining it, simply look at this. Just by scrolling down, you'll see all the crazy amount of things that need to be done for a small talent agency.

Now think of SM with artists, managers, choreographers, make-up artists, hair stylists, wardrobe stylists, stage-making, lighting people, vocal trainers, musical director, MV director, video recorders, editors, finance managers, executive producers, receptionists, first aid managers, dorm assistants, cleaners, dancers, trainees, teachers, translators, business men, CEO, assistant managers, equipment managers, running studios- microphones, speakers, floor/mirror maintanence, distributors, advertisers, schedulers, accountants, bodyguards, drivers, caters, heating and electricity costs... the list goes on man. The artists are one small part of SM. The people in the background who have made SM what it is today perhaps and arguably work so much harder and you younger people hate them and disregard them, thinking of SM as one person.

Kris left. Thinking logically, there are perhaps thousands of people employed by SM and Kris is one person. I feel sorry for his personal manager, financer, stylist etc. If SM were such an evil place, no one would dare to stay there. Kris made his own decision for himself, not for you guys, the fans, but solely for himself. EXO and everyone in SM works to please you, the fans, because without you, SM and EXO would be NOTHING. Think about it next time before you judge SM completely. SM is not one person.

2) Korea(SM) vs China

We all know it. China isn't particularily fond of SM, or Korea for that matter. Fair enough they like the artists, but when the subject of SM is brought up, artists are asked how they endured the terrible hardships of SM and living in Korea. Yes it is a valid point, but then again the people who left China and stayed in Korea, in SM, chose to. They could have left like countless SM trainees have- biggest example? G-Dragon. But they did not, they endured, they waited, not knowing when they were going to debut, but those who have are pleasantly successful.

What's my point? After Kris left, SM's reputation has again gone down in China. This means it may be hard for EXO M to comeback in China successfully next time. This means EXO M's state is vulnerable, leaving fans worried about what on Earth will happen to them, and other groups like SJM. SJM survived, but many people still doubt EXO M. Personally, I think they should be fine.

I've forgot what I was going to say, so I'll move on...

3) EXO THE PUPPETS

My God. This subject leaves me pulling out my hair in frustration so I'll try and keep cool and neutral.

Firstly, I'd like to begin to say SM artists are not puppets. They are not toys. They are humans with human feelings, like saddness, anger, happiness, fear, confusion, shock- yes, EXO can show emotion. Shall I give an example? The pre-recording of Happy Camp- EXO cried. Oh ho ho. A fan heard Tao crying. Noooo, they have feelings!? I would have never guessed. It's not Vampire Diaries where SM can force EXO to suppress their emotions.

My point is: Yes, SM advise them on how to act, but humans are humans. When you're surrounded by people you absolutely trust, you can convey your true emotions. EXO, SuJu, TVXQ, SNSD, F(X), SHINee... They've all probably shed tears, made jokes towards their seniors and everything.

When Tao made his post, when Chanyeol made his post, etc, I'd like to point out:

It's a complete breach of privacy (and therefore is against the law) for SM people to go into Tao's account and write posts. Who would've done it? The random masked ninjas!? (They don't exist.) The managers who are literally a part of EXO (without them, EXO would not be the same)? The choreographers who probably have better things to do? The officials who probably have lots of other to do than write a message on a social networking site for teenage fans? Who would've had time to write a post like that? A heart-broken Tao? Apparently not!

Chanyeol wrote in Chinese- hence SM did it? Nope. He has three Chinese members around him. Chanyeol also knows EXO have a lot of Chinese fans. Chanyeol also knows Kris is Chinese and that Kris leaving would hurt Chinese fans more. Hence, logically, I wonder if he asked Tao/Luhan/Lay/used a translator tool to post the Chinese message. It's not hard. Plus, for SM to write a Chinese message for Chanyeol makes no sense. If fans are still paramount that SM people wrote the Chinese message and easily found this conclusion, do they think SM are that stupid? Nope.

Puppets? No. Humans who have bosses in a company? Yep.

4) TERRIBLE RUMOURS

The rumours are despicable and completely disappointed me. There isn't much I can say.

Luhan getting slapped.

What the actual was this rumour...? It's just moronic. Firstly- who would be brave enough to hit a cute baby face- a baby face with muscles? A baby face with a bit of a temper (a y one)(as seen when he reacts to saesaengs). Secondly Luhan would not stand for that . He knows he has a lot of fans behind him. He knows Kris has filed a lawsuit. What would stop him? Not much. He would be easily accepted in China- he's the most popular. Any company would be lucky to have Luhan (or any of the EXO members for that matter).

I can't remember anymore. I've literally emptied the majority from my mind because they're so ridiculous. Some of these people need to stop reading fanfictions and action dramas. Kris has left, but EXO have remained for their fans.

OH! I suddenly remembered. The 200000 fans left the fandom? Nope. Apparently it was an old fanclub for some other group, and EXO fans used it however it remained inactive since 2013. This is what I have read here  and ummm... here. I personally doubt hardcore EXOtics would have left EXO because of Baek.

This leads me to part 5.

5) ANTI-FANS!

I'd like to point out to everyone that anti-fans are leading the vile rumours, are fuelling the hatred and are practically bored but easily influence easily manipulated people. I'll give a quick guide on how NOT to be manipulated when you see rumours.

1)  Read the rumour and analyse it- good/bad/whatever.

2)  See if there are any biases or circumstantial issues (the source of information, clarity of pictures, one-sided opinions)

3)  Consider the rumour to be false- what seems to support this view?

4)  Consider the rumour to be true- what seems to support this view?

5)  Make up your own mind in a non-biased way to get a logical view of a rumour.

Exhibit A: Lay punched Luhan in the face on accident when he was drunk - a fan saw it! Rumours are circulating!

Using rule 2, "a fan saw it". A fan is circulating it. Now, would a fan make their Oppas look bad? No! A fan would keep it to themselves! There is also no picturial evidence. Antifan seems to be most likely.

Using rule 3, you already know there is no picture evidence. There are no official words about it. The EXO members haven't said anything about it.

Rule 4- well, why would a fan lie?

Rule 5- probably false. A fan could lie because they want attention/they're an anti-fan/fanatical maniac/generally bored. Luhan and Lay probably don't have time to get that drunk, either.

Okay?

i will finish this segment later.
