When Baekhyun had visual outburst back in the day it turned out Byuntae was in the picture so I sincerely wish that the reason is bc Suho's getting some 'cause dammmm, that boys really deserve&need relax lol
from taking his shirt off on stage to this glo up, something has happened to cause this. maybe his parents increased his allowance, i know that would help me.
Kai looks so tired and his eyes are so red! Poor kid. Someone save him! And you can see he is tired and is lacking and still he is so good and I can even imagine what he could do if they would take care of him.
it's a shame that their mics/in-ears weren't working because that call me baby remix was amazing and they look really good, i'm glad sm's stylists like them a little better than shinee and red velvet lmao baekhyun and chen's special stage was something else... wow
Why do SM's stylists hate Red Velvet, like...I can't even watch their lives. It's sooo bad. Why are young women being dressed like Pippi Longstocking and it's NOT Halloween or a costume party?!
lmao @ suho in those gifs, the members are like "hyung, the in-ears aren't working" and he's just like "so what do you want me to do?" "so what" "deal with it" LOL
It's also funny how they always report to him their stage "fails" after it happens, like Chen's animate way of describing how his shirt ripped off etc. They make fun of him and drag casually but would be literally lost without the guy, seriously lol
Others complaining while kyungsoo not caring about sbs audio malfunctioning because king kyungsoo can handle it 👑😍😍😍

Him and Kyungsoo look so unbothered while Xiumin and Chanyeol freak out lmao.
chenbaek, but especially baekhyun sounded amazing in their solos!! and they all looked good tonight. i need to go watch the interviews and my bb xiumin be an mc which i missed, but my shit internet barely let me watch the solo videos ugh
shame about the sound system, otherwise their stage would have slayed compeltely :/ it probably was a problem for everyone. i think someone in bap was painfully off-pitch at one point and even shinee sounded bad at times. hopefully next time it eill be better. the collaboration was a flop but at least we got that mama revival
Kyungsoo should always be in turtlenecks, everywhere he goes, for the rest of his life. Suho is about to catch these hands if he gets any more handsome than he already is.
what is the meaning of exo-shinee stage, sbs? baek's solo gave me nostalgic feeling of luhan on exo showtime T.T. that song is absolutely beautiful tho
the sound system was such a mess for everyone. (except for ..i think the stage with solar, ailee, eunji and luna was the best) i liked their styling for this performance but DAMN are they tired. i hope they have a long break after new years or longer if their tour wasn't happening =/
I got angrier the more I watched their performance lmao, it's like everything that could possibly have gone wrong went wrong??
Mics weren't working/turned on, in-ears weren't working, and when they finally did turn on the mics the audio traveled slower so it sounded off-beat lmao. In the beginning I was kinda laughing at this mess but then when you see their desperate attempts at fixing their equipment and motioning to the staff I was like ok no get your shit together sbs. And they looked pissed af up until the end of love me right lmao, it's like they realized oh shit we're supposed to smile!!
Im on mobile but if I wasn't I would have posted the Beyoncé_somebodys_getting_fired.gif

JEE-ZUS THEIR MAKE UP ON THE RED CARPET Who did this to Kysoo's hair? Xiumin's lipgloss is poppin' tho honestly...if i could afford the court case i would fight SME. Anyway the sound was wack but Kai was beautiful so it evens out. I really wish he could rest, poor bb.

Finally! I get why a crazy corporation like SME would let Lay 'seemingly' run around doing whatever he wants. They want money from him. I KNEW there had to be cash involved. I think the tweet is an exaggeration but it makes more sense than SME being too scared to tell Lay no lol.
people give yixing too much credit, kris and luhan are doing better than him because of their sponsors and he is barely promoting exo; he is doing his solo work and mentions them from time to time, that's it.
exo obviously aren't trying to break into their chinese market anymore, sure, they get offers from time to time and that's great, but i doubt they could handle promoting in korea AND china at this point. to think zhang yixing is gonna make them more relevant just because he is filming some things here and there is delusional.
these conspiracy theories need to stop. they are embarrassing for everyone.
Well damn... I don't really know what's happening tbh, I posted that because it was funny and I thought it made some sense in that there must be a financial reason behind why SME is allowing him to be so distant from the group. I just think that any situation where a label like SME looks like they are being generous or supportive or kind is highly suspect that's all. I hope he's Yixing is happy that's all. It's a shame that it's all so messy right now but hopefully the schedules are better organized next year
No, you're right for the most part. SM would only accommodate Yixing this much if it was in their financial interests...as well as serving as a convenient (if too late), "See?! We prioritize our Chinese members!" gesture.
That said, Yixing's solo promotions won't help EXO nearly as much as if Exo-M were still a thing, obviously.
This is what I feel like. I mean it's like if you have a boss that yelled at you every single day for six months then suddenly they were like 'here's your new office, come in when you feel like it, here's a fruit basket, love you!' you'd be suspicious. That's all I'm saying. SME has not proving themselves to be trustworthy or the kind of label that backs down when someone does something that's against their interest. Certainly not to some random idol of theirs. So what's in it for them, that's what I want to know. Idk, I just find it hard to go along with this 'Lay is a traitor, who doesn't care about EXO'. Even if that's true, that just says more about EXO, like why is he avoiding it so much?
it's benefiting lay both parts because they both win money from lay projects while at the same time he is still a member of exo who makes money of their albums and other products. of course, he has to sacrifice schedules because he can't do it all.
he is the one who picks his projects, has control of his activities, and decides what image he want to project. he also has his own team even.
not much can be done when you are working on 2 countries and prioritizing your solo schedules, so.
I get that fans are unhappy with him and the way this has been working out HOWEVER the reason I found that post so interesting is because again, it explains why SME is letting this happen. I know you're saying Lay has his own team etc and this is his choice but SME is not the kind of label that just 'lets' someone fuck up their time and money. They have proven time and time again to have a really horrible, abusive relationship with the Chinese members of EXO and to just be shitty in general. I'm not a Lay stan or whatever it's just very hard for me to believe that SME is powerless here and Lay is calling all the shots. I think it only looks like he's in charge, I don't believe he really is. They are ultimately his main label, they could have stopped him, they could also have made sure his schedules aligned with EXO's if they wanted. So why haven't they? Have you ever known them to play nice? That's what I'm getting at. What are they up to?
that tweet doesn't explains anything. is just an ott speculation of whatever is happening behind the scenes. i can't believe people take those things seriously.
hangeng had an interview a while ago about his situation:
"In his recent interview with Chinese media company Sina, he shared, "I'm proud of terminating my contract with SM Entertainment. After I left, two laws changed regarding foreign members in Korea. [I was able to help] ensure the benefit for the growing number of Chinese in Korea's entertainment industry."
Hangeng was also asked about Luhan, Kris and Tao.
He replied, "I was the first Chinese member to debut in Korea, so I am different from them. Because of me, the number of companies foreigners were able to apply to expanded from 7 agencies to 10 agencies. The contract period shortened from 13 years to 7 years. After I left Korea, Chinese members received this kind of guarantee. The pay increased as well. How can you compare me to them?""
you can look for the statement/announcement of his studio where they both express that lay has full control of his activities in china.
you can speculate all you want but the facts are there. he is still a member of exo and getting payed for that, he is also getting payed for his solo projects. his solo activities aren't a guarantee of exo's advancement in china anymore (members still have a strong fanbase there and get some offers from time to time, is not a big loss considering they have been advancing on the japanese market and had a successful debut there).
Okay I'm not really sure where you're going with this... As I said, I liked that tweet because, I don't understand or buy this version of events where SME is powerless to make Lay be at EXO related stuff. They are not known for behaving with respect or humanity towards EXO members so I wondered what is in it for them that they would allow him to get away with it. Frankly, I think it is delusional to believe that one person has the power to do what he wants with that label just because he has his own money. If that were true then I'm sure that the EXO members that are practically falling down sick on stage these days would ask for time to rest. That's my whole point. Why is Lay given so much freedom? There must be something in it for SME. I'm glad he has control and is able to build a safety net in China I just think it's highly suspect that a label like SME is suddenly the good guys when they behave appallingly towards idols (and this is just from a casual bystander) especially the Chinese ones. Law changes haven't stopped them breaking the law, SME are trash, I love the artists they have on the label but that corporation is foul, I don't trust them. That is why I'm interested in this. It's not about me even saying that I am 100% pro that tweet, I just thought it might explain things. The tweet is actually irrelevant coz what i'm saying now I've said before in older EXO posts this year so that doesn't come from nowhere.
god dammit jongin. why and how is he so beautiful.
except for the clear sound issues they did really well. call me baby remix had me HYPE. they all looked happy (pcy grinning like a qt) and like they were having a good time at least. gayo really needs to get their shit together though with the mics/camera angles. i couldn't see shit for half of the performances when all the camera guys keep doing is unnecessarily zooming out.
