[@chicalopa]

Agreee

[@bubblegum1743]

reason

[@jukpop]

Chisaki G. why not? With regular and repackage albums, we can hit 2M easily. Maybe it’ll be not 5M but if we based on a long period, sales for the album can increase. Also, I think that MOTS:P receives a lot of recognition especially by U.S. people, it means that 2019 is the first year where sales for a BTS album increase like an album by an American artist would have sold - even if the first steps started with the LY saga -. So why wouldn't this proof be possible for EXO? Maybe their new opus will sell very well, in any case be sure that we will certainly reach the 2M sales. And above all, learn to love artists as they are, without necessarily basing yourself on the current popularity and sales of a group. EXO clearly has nothing more to prove, and knows how to stay on a consistency of popularity that is not discernible in everyone. Long live multi-fandom, peace, and love.

[@bubblegum1743]

@@jukpop EXO songs is whack for real(for me) can't even find the meaning of the song and their genre is just stick on what they're usually doing right now. they can't even explore other genres like what BTS does BTS can explore punk rock, soft rock, alternative, ballad, pop, hip hop theme with difficult dance choreography this is the only reason I see why they're so popular now and they're uprising they're so unique boy band thats why they stand out. this is my opinion as ONCE.

[@jukpop]

Mark daniel So I'm sorry about the term, but your ears are blocked and your eyes closed. EXO is THE band known in k-pop for the best musical versatility, just a little interest in the content of the albums is enough. Now I'm not saying that BTS doesn't have this versatility, on the contrary, they're even very good and I'm always excited when I hear the news of a new album. But in terms of musicality, even if BTS have concise and well done albums, I think that EXO, from a musical point of view, will have an exceptional musical rendering - that BTS is seriously starting to own -. I speak as a person who listens to k-pop - and as musicians - since 2010: I have seen EXO, BTS or TWICE born, and with almost 10 years of listening I don't think I'm wrong in analyzing the versatility and potential of an artist. Others who listen long before us may or may not tell you the same thing, depending on the point of view.

The fact that EXO being on top for 5 years in a row, first kpop group to sell over 1 million albums in 12 years, from 1 million, to 2 million to 3 million, to 4 million, to 5 million from from 2013 to 2018, even though they were in hiatus a year after their debut for being called the biggest failure of SM, but looking at EXO being so successful, reaching the peak, make me think that "they made it" they're now one of the biggest group in the world. And Since their debut in 2012, the group has sold 23.8 million downloads as of December 2017, and more than 11.9 million physical albums as of August 2019, in South Korea. And then Baekhyun and others telling us to stop buying their album now because they already sold 10 million, and he said that's enough for them, makes me even so proud. They have been always the "group of wisdom" for me, for saying words of wisdom, of truth and strength to us. That makes me more in love with them. And I'm willing to wait until they will be together again in one stage. As for now our boys is already and are going to serve the military. ❤️

EXO is a legendary hero whom is loved by people. A strong and courageous fighter. BTS admires and looks up to him. Also acts like a mentor to BTS. Twice is a friend of BTS. She is young, quite a strong and talented fighter but she has a long way to go to improve her fighting technique and has a lot of things to learn from other people. People ship them with BTS. SNSD is an another legendary fighter. She proves people that women can be great fighters as men. She is Twice's senpai and Twice admires her. A good mentor and onee san to Twice and her kouhais. Red Velvet, best friend of Twice. She is quite umm...unusual. A little naive, having strange fashion taste. The type of girl who does what she likes and doesn't care about what people think of her. People are genuinely worry about her. However, she is a also strong, smart and intelligent fighter. Never underestimate this girl. People in fandom ship her with Twice because she has many questionable moments with Twice in the anime. Twicevelvet stans constantly having fanwars with BangTwice stans. BTS, a young boy who is constantly bullied by his peers for being weak physically and emotionally. Everyone underestimate him, including himself. Until one day, he met EXO, EXO says some encouraging words to him, he got inspired by EXO. At first, he is weak but he is surrounded by friends who support him, slowly he becomes the strongest. Sounds like Boku no Hero Academia, lol

So you see eventhough they went no. 2 they are steady strong and stayed relevant with very minimal promotion. Also, while they were No. 1 for a couple of years, their lead is so far. Some people may think that EXO is already in their twilight but hey they are already legends. They already proved their worth and competing is already out of their league.
