Despite the ongoing rivalry between SM Entertainment and EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin), EXO fans are growing weary as they eagerly anticipate the complete group’s return. The new conflict has raised questions about EXO’s return this year, leaving fans uncertain and frightened.
Initially, fans expressed unwavering support for Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin, wishing them success in their activities outside of the group. However, recent disagreements have begun to destroy followers’ trust in the group. Many have begun to question whether the band genuinely cares about its committed fan base.
Baekhyun Sparks Criticism
On June 17, Baekhyun tried to reach out to fans via Bubble with a sincere letter. He added, “To Eri (fans), who gave me unconditional love in a world without unconditionality, I hope that today is a little better than yesterday. I just miss you a lot.” “I just really miss you.”
However, rather than garnering affection, his statement was met with criticism.
Netizens Respond
Korean netizens and supporters used social media platforms to convey their feelings:
“Why is this so cringe?”
“He’s using fans’ emotions, which I find disgusting.”
“Wow.”
“This is so cringe.”
“…He loves fans but he loves money.”
