i can agree with that, but the question is whether it matters that ppl favor one subgroup over the other? unless a clear majority favor one, but that doesn't seem to be the case with exo. depending on what fanbase you look at, you'll get different answers and idk how wellknown m is in china but if you were to round up all fans they have, wouldn't it be a rough 50/50? with a lot of ot12 love as well, esp internationally. (tho they should def do more joint performances, not bec i care much for them but bec it's sort of pointless ranting about how they are one etc etc if we never get to see them together :I)

idk if anything is clear. but they should have released a follow-up single already this summer, and for some reason they didn't. and i am so curious as to why. they have long ago drowned in the flood of bap and nu'est comebacks at this rate.

yessss they need to get out there, they need to get on shows or have a show of their own or just be around. even if SM doesn't really care for the korean public anymore, an ot12 show would cater to both dedicated and potential fans, and is easily accessible for us poor international fans. i was expecting a reality show already this summer, seeing how both suju, snsd and shinee got one shortly after debut. (fx is the forevar neglected stepsister :/)

da and just butting in to say f(x) got a (short-lived...) reality show 8 months after debut so it's possible that exo will be having theirs around the same time too (december/january, i guess)

yeah, i've sort of shifted to expecting that instead. but it's still too late. :I

yeah i guess anon above is right, sm probably doesn't care as much for variety show appearances anymore when they have the world stage and shit.

at least they're not saying any bs reasons like yg's :I

but a show would cater to the world stage. shipping k around from one local festival to another does just what for the world stage lol? they already know the internet's the way to go, they showed that with all the youtube teasers. now film and sub a good reality show for the international fans who can't access them any other way

dw anon ia with you but sm doesn't seem to get that u___u

the lack of follow up will forever be odd to me.

i do wonder if they are pitching shows and getting rejected. or they have been getting offers but sme has turned them down? a lot of nugus/rookies have gotten shows, mainly on MTV, so it just strange that exo isn't doing one. interviews and festival performances are great but they aren't going to win over potential fans that way. as someone on the fence about them its easier to just forget them and move on to someone who is providing me with new material either as new songs or shows

yeah i've been wondering that as well - what if they dont get any offers to appear on tv? that must burnnnn SMs ego. at this point it seems like they avoid tv, for some reason. maybe to make them stand out from the other rookies who do multiple singles and shows? but. i really don't think it's gonna work.

i can see the local festivals thing if they're like touring around the country to let ppl meet/see them and get to know them, or something. but i think of that event k did recently. first i see an IV drip in a picture, and next 80-something ladies in hospital gowns, and i was like... wat? is that the audience you're going for?

still i sort of recognize this from the teaser era, where we were just sitting here all "wtf are they doing, this isn't gonna work, wat". so a small part of me thinks that maybe SM has something up their sleeve? bec they're clearly going for unconventional methods with this group
