IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ EXO-LS, whether you are one of the OH members I quoted or a guest:
After the recent frustrations EXO-L have had with SM, EXO members mentioning that their comeback was postponed and that they want to promote but "can't do everything they want," them constantly giving examples of "many fansigns" or "lots of promotions" only for us to have non existent promotions from SM -- which clearly shows that SM is outright denying them the interactions and promos they WANT--, Marz's mentions abt EXO's incompetent A R team, and the recent news that after dropping an album, an MV and NO promotion, SM will simply skip to a repackage and wash their hands clean of any responsibility.....it has become apparent that something is not right. Huge accounts such as EXO_Lab have also stated that they are trying to think of a way to contact SM, but many exo-ls feel like we should all collectively try to make our voice heard to SM.
The users I have quoted have expressed disappointment towards SM so I hope you will read this earnestly. Just because it is the "SM Strategy" to put their older groups on the backburner does not mean that EXO-Ls have to take this treatment lying down. This goes BEYOND "senior group" treatment, this is objectively and from a business point of view straight out sabotage.
If any of you are at ALL interested, have any ideas, are active on twitter, or up to contributing by even just commenting or retweeting, or know any EXO-Ls who would be up for doing something etc, some EXO-Ls have gotten together and are planning an event where we will trend hashtags directed at SM, attempt to contact k-EXO-Ls who have more influence over pann and naver (and will thus be more effective in boycotting merch or reaching kmedia) as well as buying Merch, and reach kmedia so that SM will be forced to respond and treat EXO in the way that they deserve.
We have already made a PM group with some of the users on the main exo thread, and the intial steps are underway, but there are a lot more EXO-Ls we need here who can help and since the PM group can only hold 15 members we made a discord you can access to see what we've planned so far and offer your own thoughts. This is NOT an obligation, it does not require a lot of effort or commitment, and is only a temporary place to gather and so the main thread will not be clogged up, you are free to enter and leave as you please or say nothing at all, but the more people involved, the higher chance we EXO-Ls have a chance to make our voices heard. I, for one, am tired of complaining only for no solution to present itself year after year. This might be our last chance to confront SM abt this before enlistment and if we can get SM to listen before the repackage, it could change so much.
The discord link is below, doesn't matter if you're a user or a guest, if you are an EXO-L and willing to help please do so. The cord will be active only until we contact SM, no tea, no drama. Just effort. And hopefully EXO-Ls getting some shit done. We CAN do this and S(hitty) M(anagement) better watch the fuck out because when EXO-Ls get pissed we go all the way:
