EXO's D.O. & Baekhyun speak up about fans' behaviour during fansign

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

EXO-Ls were acting in chaos at EXO’s recent fansigning event, refused to make a line and EXO members were trying to get them to calm down, Baekhyun "What is this (behaviour)?". D.O. then noticed someone fell over due to the chaos, and said their safety was important, then told to the fans if they don’t listen (and be peaceful) they’re leaving, the fans didn’t listen, so EXO left (So that the fans could calm down).

This one is pretty loud. Baekhyun starts guiding fans around 2:25 mark and then D.O. holds his little speech, before all of them getting off the stage.

If I find a better article, I'll add it in. They left and then came back after the fans calmed down. There were around 30.000 people at the fansign (5 members were in Busan and 5 members in Seoul).

O H .

they've been tired of their fans for a long time

i know that sm would never do this, but if they really wanted fans to behave they should start straight up leaving when things get out of hand. not just walk out, wait for things to calm down, then come back. if things are so bad that they need to walk out then they should really leave. i bet rowdy fans would start acting better immediately at the next event. plus fans would be more strict of policing other fans if they knew bad behavior would ruin their chances to see them/waste their money.

But that would mean that they don't love their fans, and isn't the whole idol thing about loving your fans unconditionally just like they love you.

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

good.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

going to an exo fan event seems so dangerous. I would never.

[milafanway.livejournal.com]

IKR? My life is precious lol

[milafanway.livejournal.com]

Mate exo........I would be tired of those "fans"

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Good.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

what is the fucking point when even your faves hate you?

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Lmao this truth

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Discipline em!

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

i saw the ohbest one while going through my youtube subscriptions yesterday... the fans probably aren't going to learn from this though sadly

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Baekhyun said they won't be able to hold an outdoor fansign in the future if fans don't get it together. But didn't they have a private fansign in the past but there was still a huge crowd outside hoping to catch a glimpse? I doubt having fansigns in closed venues will make things better if that's the case.

Poor dudes can't catch a break.

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

exo should disband for the sake of their fans

[mya13.livejournal.com]

lmfao tbh

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

what is this about this shitty group that attracts terrible fans?

[uledy.livejournal.com]

i'm sure people have written theses on this, but i just honestly and truly don't get the appeal or how any of this came to be. but i suppose not everything is meant for me to understand...

[treaclyena.livejournal.com]

i think if they're ever sick of being an idol they could all become excellent kindergarten teachers.

[adenar.livejournal.com]

kindergarten would probably feel like a holiday after dealing with exo-l

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

...did anyone else laugh uncontrollably or was it just me?

I wonder how it feels to be verbally spanked and then put in time-out by your oppars~

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

lmao

[cafetin99.livejournal.com]

Lmao, how horrible.

Tbh, if I were in the same place of those fans, waiting to see them and then they just go out and threaten that they will leave (and then leave), I never again would be their fan or buy any shit from them. The behavior of the fans is wrong, very wrong, and it is horrible what they do, and that this is the only way for them to learn (hopefully?), but I do not like DO's nasty and condescending behavior... I understand the reasons why he is like this, and he his rigth, still, I do not like that behavior.

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

I'm curious, and this might sound sarcastic/nasty/whathaveyou (it's not supposed to, I'm genuinely curious), as to what else you would have them do to control their fan behavior? SM clearly isn't going to do anything, and at this point the fans are a danger not only to the group but to themselves as well.

[fifi-moon.livejournal.com]

Exo-L seems to contain the worst elements of all fandoms in one place

[furcalor.livejournal.com]

I have no interest in Exo but I do feel sorry for them having to deal with this shit. They kinda look terrified in those videos.

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

i like celebrities when it comes to tv/music/gossip because entertainment~ but i will never get the appeal of standing outside for hours to see them or paying ridic amounts of money for concerts/merchandise idk might just be me

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

no i'm the same way. like i'd rather just stream it tbh lol

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Pairing this with all the other fan accounts of shit hitting the fan with EXO-L and all the self-harm images I've seen on tumblr/twitter of fans carving the names of members in to their arms, what in the HELL is wrong with their fanbase? Does SM seriously not see how much damage these kids are doing to themselves, each other, and potentially even their idols? What do they think is going to happen if stalker fans get in to where the boys live?

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

SM doesn't care about EXO, lbr. SM only pays enough attention to them to make sure that one of their biggest cashcows and one of the only groups that keeps them in the top 3 agencies doesn't leave them on their ass.

Also, sasaengs have broken into EXO's dorm. EXO was just lucky enough to not be home at the time.

The only thing that makes EXO-L only a little bit better than other fandoms is that they didn't drive a fan to allegedly commit suicide.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

lol, I like exo, but I wouldn't even be mad at them for leaving. That would teach the rowdy "fans".

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

I really love this group but I still get surprised at their immense popularity that it gets so crazy at events such as these. They are marketed so well. SM must be doing something right.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

This week has been mega-embarrassing for EXO-L, I hope someone writes an op-ed about it in korea/china and it slowly gets people to wake up.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

what else happened?

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

Thumbs up, boys. I'm somewhat happy that it was them who addressed the problem and not the staff. That way the fans MAYBE see that hey, your oppa doesn't like you if you don't behave.

Or maybe this is just me being optimistic.

[kneekalies.livejournal.com]

SM needs to shut that shit down, and have them move onto the next schedule, bet you fans would know what standing in line is the next time.
