I'm an exo L for 5 years until now. We eggs are really lazy when it comes to streaming and voting (i guess?) But we make sure every MV will pass 100m and that's enough for us, we're not like other fandoms whose only basing their idols talent by views. We are not like that. Hundred million is enough. Because we don't actually base our idols 'exo' by views. We don't care about the fame. Exo receives awards. They can stand on being legendary nn their own unique way even without a global promotions, from west etc. They can won awards or be nominated on award shows without having a comeback. They are setting records not only as a group but as a solo artist too. Baekhyun, D.o, Kai, Suho, Sehun, chanyeol, and lay in china. For me they are still kpop's power house, without exo kpop is boring. Maybe they are not as famous as they were before... but you can't change the fact that this boygroup still have a big impact even from the beginning of their career until now. (Sorry for my bad english)

[@kimberly3497]

Jojo Belbran wait I thought they did comeback every year I didn’t know when they hiatus can you tell me

[@morangoatomic997]

Kimberly Nicole - They take huge hiatus period to comeback, first time it happened was during their rookies years, like they debuted in 8th April of 2012, but their first comeback was in June of 2013, 14 months after their debut. It’s not common to happen in rookies groups, usually rookies groups do two or three comebacks in a year. EXO had another long hiatus later in their career, 16 months. In general EXO had three over-than-year-hiatus in their career. And when they do comeback, it’s for only one or two weeks of promotions in music shows, they barely go to radio interviews, variety shows, or any kind of promotions. They just make long tours, they tour for months non stop.

[@fm4770]

Angel_firelight Sy first there was the concept itself. A korean-chinese group that will promote in two countries regularly ? For them it was gonna flop. And also people had this misconception that a group that is heavily hyped and teased would surely flop. When they debuted, MAMA had mixed reactions w/ the superpower concept and when Wolf came out it also got mixed reviews because it wasn’t a public-friendly type of song but still won on music shows

[@kikaydoll92]

Angel_firelight Sy A lot of people also grew to dislike them because of their debut teasers. Some fans of other SM artists didn’t like how SM was literally splurging on their debut and there were people who just simply became impatient with their debut. I still remember me and other fellow EXO stans at that time laughing at the impatient people because we all knew they were gonna come back to stanning at one point.

It's been five years since I got into EXO. I love them so much and I disagree with the idea that they are losing popularity (I mean Obession sold 800k albums with only 6 members!!!! and if they had a repackaged album, they would have become another million-seller easily). I think they just hit a plateau, that's all. Buttttt tbh( and let's not kid ourselves), their golden years were in 2013-2016 when they were basically untouchable in basically everything. But all good things eventually come to an end( though not yet for EXO). It's a cycle that always happens and it will eventually happen to every famous group rn. EXO can't be #1 forever, unfortunately :((((( . However, I will say that they have already established themselves as LEGENDS and artists of the kpop community. The members themselves have also said they have won enough awards and daesangs( though they still deserve our insurmountable support). They have pretty much won every award and soooo many wins. They have already branched out in their solo careers in which they are doing amazing!!! The members are also going to the military already. Stanning them has been one of the best decisions I have ever made and their journey together has been amazing. So when the day comes, I wish all of them the best and I will always be an EXO-L💕 and I hope every EXO-L who reads them continues to love them as well :)))

Did they completely ignoring EXO? HUUHU

[@Narutogal7]

Good video, but I feel like there are some points you missed. - EXO wasn't struggling, but Growl is when the group really shot up there with it being their first legitimate hit song in Korea. Mama and Wolf had really mixed reactions. - Also, I think you should have mentioned THAAD as it is the reason Koreans no longer promote in China so EXO's concept doesn't really work anymore. Also, it is why Lay hasn't promoted with the group since 2016. All the comebacks since Kokobop have been without him. - EXO could have had more potential, but SM initially focused on only Korea and China. This definitely fell through with China limiting Korean content. And other than a few concerts, SM never promoted them in the west.

[@libby910]

what is THAAD? sorry if that's a dumb question, I haven't listened to exo much since 2015 but I'm back

[@freepress3631]

Yes THAAD is a big factor in Kpop groups promoting in china ,specially EXO who focuses in China-Korea market

[@Pitapat819]

Libby hi, THAAD is a missile detection system that used heat patterns i think. So like what you see in those movies when a missile is coming to an area this will detect and stop it by uhm i’m not sure what haha. But yeah. It is a US supported project on Korean soil. China is putting pressure on Korea to disassemble it stating that it could be used to breach China’s national security because of its proximity. I don’t know how much basis China has about thinking that though. But the issue has affected EXO a lot. For example Sehun actually has like 2 movies filmed as China-Kora projects and none of them have seen the light of day. And then there’s Lay too that we all know about huhu

[@sujufan70]

And the fact that yixing is a embassador in China and it's like a representative in there just like exo in Korea and that's why he can't promoted (there's always people putting like "what about Jackson and the other Chinese members on other groups like nct or seventeen" and I'm like there are not political representatives of their countrys tho so is different yixing can't just disrespect his government like that)

[@jcoxo]

@@libby910 THAAD means Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. S.Korea allowed America to build a THAAD missile terminal on their territory. And China hated this and banned everything that had anything to do with Korea in their country. And this affected EXO the most. Other Chinese idols who debut in Korea weren't much recognized in China, so that was no problem. But Lay is Hunan communist youth league ambassador in China. The Chinese want Lay to support and be loyal to China. So he can't promote in Korea together with EXO.

They still went through a rough patch during debut. Just because the debuted from sm and started as not rlly from rock bottom it doesn’t mean they have less struggles. Sm doesn’t treat members right, little promotion. Stop saying "they are successful just because they are from sm", it's like questioning their abilities which is so rude and bitchy.

They were an existing group that was getting attention for their already existing song. SuperM was a group that was made to target the western audience, but Jopping didn't do it to the capacity Exo's other songs did. SuperM did well, but probably not as well as SM wanted them to do.

Actually EXO is even more popular than before lmao they keep getting more and more fans and keep breaking the records they set out already. Which is crazy af because other groups tend to not be popular but then get popular af quick and then they peak lmao but exo is rising still

[@fakesmilesandlaughs5118]

dave. It’s because exo ages like fine wine. They keep improving and improving and the members, Oof.

I’ll never forget studying in Korea the summer Growl came out and blew up. EXO are absolute legends and one of my favorite groups of all time.

[@midnightfairycase2145]

I wasn't studying Korea, but it was during the period where was increasingly becoming more interested in Kpop. Growl took the the industry by storm, it was like the birth of new legends. Crazy how some Kpop fans only credit them for starting the 3rd generation. They set a standard and model for boybands to follow tbh.

EXO got the biggest anti fan club over all kpop idols they got to face hate the most even before debut and the fact they're still going so strong makes me proud of them. They came so far and I'll always be with them.

[@miguelgonzales5686]

Their anti's a whole fanbase who wants to erase EXO's own records because that's the validation they need LOL

[@cookiekyung4635]

Thats the price of attention. You get love and you get hate. Its the most popular groups that get hate clubs as well. And I will never understand those losers. 😧

[@OhGG]

They have a lot of antis, but what about SNSD?

[@nikkiferretti]

Everybody got antis, but for EXO it's some next level shit. Idk if it's true but I've heard that's why SM doesn't let them go on variety shows or do interviews very often now- because people twist what they say/mistranslate on purpose, etc.

[@bangtansonyeondanchick5096]

[@shuangshuangguo]

Exo is the 3rd generation king(my opinion) for me, and they r still strong after 7 years, break record of themselves everytime they come back, and even the subunit and solo albums have very good sales, i don't care they r not no.1 anymore, they r still doing great for themselves, all the members are multitalented and develop very well in different fields too, like acting, doing musical performances, modeling, etc. Cause they r that multitalented. I'll be exo-l for a long time.

[@reen0025]

shuang guo glad you excluded second generation 😄

[@MICHELLE-sp7cq]

EXO may not be #1 anymore but just the fact that they’ve been in the kpop industry for seven years and is still one of the most popular groups shows the long way EXO has gone and how successful they are. Saying they are not one of the most successful groups makes you look stupid. But anyways, this was a great video to make, thanks:)

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Michelle 400000 who can be number 1 forever? There will be a day that BTS will lose popularity one day just like any group. Fame, fortune and popularity only last for a period of time. I think the most important thing is can they still be successful as solo artists if they choose to stay in the circle? Or can they still lead a successful life if they leave the entertainment industry? Time will tell all....
