No lie I want shoes with the toe thingies

Shawn Mendes | Los Angeles, CA (February 27, 2025)

this is why eggso never made it in the west learn how to take criticism and move on..no victim card victim card victim card. Jeez this was like a decade ago and people still say this. If they would of learned to make a simple casual track people could actually listen tp it. Nobody other tham kpop fans wanna listen to rock opera on top of rnb. They've been doing the same thing for 12 plus years. They have too many members who do the exact same thing cause s.m wanted looks over talent its the truth. They dropped 30 plus other boys for ones who had better looks its the truth. Exo used to be called boys heaven. They wanted more fangirls so they looked for more manhwa type looking boys. They went from focusing on talent to hyperfocusing on skinship and shipping cause mama floppes bad. They spent over 3 million dollars on the exo debut and they did not make back returns. They remade exo several times before they were successful. They didnt make exo for the east or the west. They went to los angeles a year into their debut. They went to russia and london within months of debuting. They organized a u.s concert 3 years into their career. It just didnt do well.

The guy above analyzed th objectively and was giving off advice their management refused to take.

Exo was meant for the east...thats a joke and a lie. I'm only saying this cause loes nauseate me. This is old but people still repeat this stuff. You wanna know the truth exos manager tried to get them attention from hollywood celebs and went in comment sections asking them to react to exo. They did promote exo and also tried to get them a grammy nom only they didnt realize you have to at least be involved in making your own music to get a grammy nom the reality is s.m is not good at their jobs. S.m got tons of western producers for exo. They just had way too many members and it was creatively suffucating that is why kris luhan and tao left. They all said so. They had no room to be a person with all those damn people onstage. They still have too many members but its too late now. They just have to deal with it.

Imagine being so ignorant you don’t even realize you’re ignorant. 

He makes a video saying EXO aren’t popular or have the same success as BTS in the west because their vocals cater to the “east” more, huh.

So having powerhouse vocals aren’t a western thing? TBH EXO’s music is pop and R&B and the style they do is as west sounding as it gets, also he said EXO should change if they want to get into the west, like sis you telling me EXO needs to stop what makes them unique to appeal to a culture that isn’t theirs for popularity, okay makes no sense but he counties to make it a point to say BTS changed to adapt to the west and their vocals have more feeling then EXO’s…..like WHAT? 

He claims to be a vocal coach but speaks subjectively instead objectively and he pandars, and as soon as he got called on his shit he wants to play victim. All be it some fans can do the most, but he really thinks he’s innocent here, and it’s pathetic, and he keeps posting bullshit, like SIS STOP. 

1.) Exo has some of the best vocals and has one of the most diverse discographies out there. They have the ability to adapt to any genre and sound and still make it EXO, and not to pander to the woahs of the west

2.) SM nore EXO have ever wanted to venture in the west, SM had made it clear that is not their prerogative. EXO made for captivating the EAST. West was never the plan.

3.) How dare you a vocal coach tell a vocalist to stop what they’ve learned and to adapt for clout.

I could go on and on, but I rather other add their opinion on the matter cause I missed something. Dude is a pandering, victim card whole ass mess. Makes me sick. 

PS: he makes vs videos all the time and doesn’t expect someone to clapback. 

13/14/15 year olds debuting in kpop IS a problem and i wish kpop stans would stop pretending it’s not thank u

what taemints think kai does everytime taemin breaths

and one more thing

just to be clear I couldn't care less about what exo's gonna do without jongin. They better work it out. That boy has been their workhorse for years and instead of appreciation they threw him under the bus consistently for cheap laughs. Better get some background dancers or something. This aint one direction and vocals aren't the draw in of the group its performance. The fact that they had one member carry a group for that long while the others were allowed to chill doesnt even make sense. Whatever happens to the group in the next two years isn't on kai he pulled his weight with this group ten times over.

is he racist? No not in the traditional sense but he has had an idealized fetish for black aesthetic culture since a young age. But other peoples perception of what he does should not concern you. If people from black society interpret what he did as racist that is their right. Its a complex topic to be handled with care not a sassy response of oh sm made him do it. I will not just accept that foolish behavior. Let his behavior be interpreted by whoever is interpreting it. The tacky lawyer defense just makes black people feel more offended and angry. I just wish everyone would allow people to have their own opinion about art without getting over emotional. Especially if no one is being direspectful. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. Telling others to just leave and shut up is not a mature response.

and san and kai are friends now...like genuine friends ahhh like journaling is everything I remember years ago when I just got back into kpop and I found out about san everyone was hating on him cause they said he was copying kai but he's like so sweet and him and kai have soo much in common and they look alike and I was like aww they'd love each other and now they real deal friends

like matrix?
