The issues with SM Entertainment and their unenthusiastic management of f(x)

I'm really really mad and seriously want to curse someone right now *cough*

So like, I can't exactly get my head and feelings under control right now so I'm just gonna be listing 'issues'

1. EXO had their first concert. F(x) stopped their promotion after 2-3 weeks. 

 2. Sulli got sick and needed to take a rest. EXO got their fan club name. 

How ironic is this? And adding to the fact that EXO is having a new variety show, or so I heard, I really don't know what to say. 

Now, if I were to comment anywhere about this issues, I bet people (EXO's fans) would be complaining about how their fandom name doesn't make any sense or whatsoever, and I'm like "At least you get to call yourself something" . Plus I heard that fans of official fandoms have benefits like getting concert tickets before they run out, or stuff like that. 

Things I wanted to say to SM Entertainment:

I am very grateful to you for debuting f(x) and let the Kpop world knows that girl groups can be different too. I am glad that you chose the members as they are right now, because I love them to death. But since you took the chance and risk of debuting them, and I quoted 'Just to rival 2NE1', I recommended that you take responsibility and manage f(x) probably. F(x) had gone past that time when everyone were strangers, and they are now a family. They'd overcome many obstacles together and made a name for themselves. They were the first Kpop group at SXSW, opening the path for Kpop artists to come there this year. And although I do admit that your album production are amazing, at least acknowledge the fact that f(x) was ranked on billboard, the only Kpop album to be on there in 2013 with Pink Tape. And since you actually let f(x) have two full albums in a row, I'm suggesting that you at least promote them properly because f(ans) had waited for so long just to see their comeback. We were looking forward to seeing them together as a group again, attending variety shows together, but it seem like you've successfully disappointed us. I'm happy that you considered Sulli's health and let her rest (you should let Krystal rest also since she commented that she got about three hours of sleep per day) but what about the enthusiasm of the other three members? I get that Victoria have a drama schedule sometime in the future, but we don't get to see Luna and Amber as much as we would like. And please, the next time you're letting f(x) have a comeback, make it so that the promotion is long, f(5) get to be together, no other group members are in their performances or album. Even the members had expressed wishes for longer promotions and seem to be really happy when their comeback came. 

I know I don't know f(5) personally, but as a fan, I'm disappointed to see f(x) seeming to be drifting apart. I hope to see them together soon, but then again, with SME, you'll never know.

I agree so much!! I think it's unfair about exo but think of it this way, they have tons and tons of fans, that means more money for sm. More money for exo. They just want money. And for f(x) I seriously have no idea, I want to have an American tour so bad. I really want to see them in concert. Personally, I think sm should promote them more and have more comebacks if they really want to. It's nice to see sm let sulli have a break and stuff but they should have all of f(c) have breaks to go see family and friends. It would be nice to see f(x) happy...

I agree. I was really ing mad at sm! What the hell is this! They really didnt promote fx properly, every year, every comeback there will be problems with fx management. I dnnt like this. Its had been five years now. They didnt get promote properly, short promotion they didnt even get their own variety show aside from when they went to new zealand. They didnt have fandom name yet, exo get their fandom name even they debuted two years and half, red velvet debutd, and fx promotion stop. Geezz
