Beautiful, partners in war. I hope I get it as my card but what are the chances hnn

 

 

 

 

It's really sad how the most "royal" E X O ship is hated like crazy by its own fandom even tho it's clear as day that CB are close and at least have a beautiful friendship and don't give a fuck; but I guess ugly shippers are definitely the main reason for the hate, those shippers who hate on every interaction of Baekhyun and Chanyeol with other members/idols (especially when it's another popular ship), who reach too much in their analyses, who spam their IGs and MVs with "CHANBAEK IS REAL" and sexual stuff; who are just annoying and really delusional and rude and aggressive asf. I think back in the day those shippers were everywhere (since SM was pushing and they did obvious fanservice), as a result the mindset of hating on them kinda stuck with the fandom (I mean many still think CB aren't even close, only fanservice etc., they are all stuck in the 2013 narrative smh), that's why a big percentage of the fandom hates CB and tries to discredit everything just because, especially the new fans who are discovering the ships now think hating on CB and liking the "new trendy and underrated ships" is superior and edgy and special.

 

Ofc some of them just don't like the ship in general and some are hating bc they ship them with someone else but I think the majority is still stuck in the past and hate without a real reason and just bc everyone is doing it, it's like an unspoken rule that CB should be hated and all the other Chanyeol and Baekhyun ships are 1000000000000 times better and not as overrated as CB.

 

Don't be upset about this, in the end CB will continue being close and not giving a fuck (aka birthday posts, mutual hobbies, secret vacations, 2 hours rides, talking about each other nonstop etc.), CB will continue being paired up for the upcoming repack, everybody who hates will continue to miss out on a beautiful relationship that is goals. So don't be upset, rather pity the antis who are triggered by a mere comeback teaser, CB shippers aren't the ones making the pic about shipping, antis are the ones who make it about shipping bc all CB shippers do is hyping their faves just like anybody else, I haven't seen CB shippers go around screaming "CB ARE PAIRED UP FOR THE REPACK, CB ARE FUCKING CONFIRMED".

 

 

 

funny thing is they're are more quick to react than the shippers, lol and now most of them are doing threads as to why chanbaek shippers are ugly, all because of a paired doublecard. imagine being that pressed. not healthy. i hope sm continues to pair chanbaek up because this have been happening since lucky one, the vcrs, and now this. they're all pathetic.

THIS TEA! It's super sad actually. There are ships I dislike who have had their moments of being delulu but unless they are gross about their shipping I don't entertain it. The fandom doesn't have to be geared toward my interests for me to like it.

 

I don't know if anyone here is active on tumblr but I know when the Chris Lee "Baek has Chanyeol hehe" came out, a lot of the antis showed them selves either using Chris Lee to hate chanbaek or chanbaek to hate Chris Lee. You don't have to like everything you see but when you have a superiority complex because you 'go against the grain' shows an insecurity (in my opinion). ESPECIALLY if they are okay with shipping the members with themselves--which is not going against the grain and being 'cool' but I guess kpop is JUST queerbait and all of its problems stems from slash shippers. Like, the extra shippers do cause a lot of problems and they need to stop, but the other part of the fandom should take responsibility for their actions too. 

 

You don't see me attacking people for reading self-inserts (that are typically guy / girl) because it's not just a fantasy / fiction / forcing my perspective and desire onto them / pushing a sexuality onto them that they didn't confirm for themselves (If an idol came out and people started shipping and reading rated fics of them BECAUSE of that fact that would actually be super gross and actual fetishization but whatever I suppose) / liking the idea of you dating your bias is toxic because when they date you won't be able to handle it or whatever they say to us.

 

I would look extremely stupid as a cb shipper and when things like yesterday and "Baek has Chanyeol hehe [to being gym partners] happen, they look so so sad.

 

 

 

SM paired them up for the teasers again. I wonder if this means we might get more moments like in Lucky One in future MVs as the lore unfolds

A few pictures of them at Music Bank in Jakarta! Unfortunately, it looks like Chanyeol has injured himself   I hope that even though it's repackage time, he will get some rest and can at least recover from this before it gets worse.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cr: thelittle_cb @ Twitter
Apparently the translation says Baekhyun was helping Chanyeol (with his back/waist problems). 
 

I don't speak Thai, but got the translation from these tweets:

Also, just when I thought I wouldn't see them on Tourgram anymore, they made a small appearance 
 



& My opinion on the last few posts:

I don't have much to add to what you all have already said 'cause I wholeheartedly agree. I feel like a part of the fandom is still stuck in 2012/2013 when Chanbaek shippers were insanely extreme and SM fed us fanservice all the time. Obviously there are still extreme shippers nowadays, who do or say things they shouldn't, but these people also exist in other shipping fandoms. It's ridiculous to excuse them for their behavior while CB shippers get shit on for every little thing they say. I haven't seen Chanbaek shippers taking their teaser to the next level (like antis are claiming) or posting hurtful/agressive comments towards either Chanyeol of Baekhyun. It's only a teaser, it's SM's choice, just like how it will the company's choice if Chanbaek will play a role together in the MV/lore. Attacking the people in the ship because you don't like their fandom or prefer a different couple is immature and a bad excuse.

my only question is, how can you stan chanyeol and not like baekhyun and vice versa. they come as a pack, and is inseparable. Althought, they're not clingy on stage, their tourgram together just proves just how much chanyeol cares alot to baekhyun, and how much baekhyun trust him even if he knows pcy an idiot sometimes. And based on tourgram, i can tell baekhyun already knows they will lost, like it happened between them alot of times but he's just letting chanyeol lead the way anyway. The trust he's putting to chanyeol is so beautiful, and i am grateful as a pcy stan because he has someone like baekhyun who trust him and make him laugh even if as a friend, or as a lover... that... is something some stans failed to see.

I am not one of those people but based on what I have read on Twitter so far, I think that many of them dislike ChanBaek because fans of the ship seem to favour Baekhyun and only see Chanyeol as his shadow in their eyes. I must say that there are double standards sometimes and Chanyeol is easily accused whenever it seems like something happened between them or when he interacts with other people while the reactions are totally different when it's Baekhyun who interacts with others. "They come as a pack" - I think that is exactly what they dislike, the fact that some fans cannot seem to acknowledge them (especially Chanyeol) as individuals with their own lives and always have to relate their actions to each other and ending up reaching while doing so sometimes. To put it in a nutshell, they don't believe that people genuinely like Chanyeol but that they pair him with Baekhyun because it is "convenient" and because it fulfills their yaoi fantasies - that is not my personal opinion, only speculation. Furthermore, as it was pointed out before, I believe that many of those "haters" are stuck in 2012/2013 where the dynamics of ChanBaek's relationship were mostly perceived as "tsundere Baekhyun and Chanyeol who is trying to get his attention" It seems like some people have never moved on from that phase because, as we all know, their relationship has changed a lot over the years. I think Baekhyun has always liked Chanyeol (in whatever way) but nowadays, he is way more open when it comes to showing it. He is always full of praises for Chanyeol and openly stated that he trusts & relies on him, that he is proud of him etc. Either these things are being blatantly ignored or they go unnoticed as people love to focus on single incidents when it comes to determining what kind of relationship two people have. There are problematic ChanBaek shippers, not denying it. However, to generalize people like that and to ignore how Baekhyun obviously cares for Chanyeol - I think it's not fair. Shippers of other ships can be problematic as well btw but it goes unnoticed. For instance, I had to see Baekhyun being portrayed as EXO's man wh*re and pervert after "Knowing Brothers" was aired. Call me petty but I personally found it very offensive. What I am trying to say is that problematic people are everywhere. It is just that it is easier to generalize when they are in a large fandom/shipdom than when they are part of a rather small one.

 

 

@christallodineve: I am very excited for "Sweet Lies"! :D From the way the song was described as being rnb'ish, I feel like I am going to love it! Therefore, I'd love to analyse it when it comes out !

Chanyeol is sticking close to S*hun at the airport today, so unfortunately I have no CB airport pics to share at the moment!

i can hear their laughs by just looking at these pictures. the fanaccount about chanyeol drawing a heart on his shirt and baekhyun smearing his hand on shirts makes me    i cant wait for someone to upload the whole dvd and see those unseen chanbaek moments in fiji, (is it fiji or fuji  )  

 

that tweet about baekhyun smiling at the chanbaek bandana, idk if i am just being delusional but he seems so responsive when he saw stans with cb supports like that, because i remember during exordium in manila, i saw this one fan who said that she raised her lightstick with chanbaek tag on it and she received a smile (she's even shocked to received that kind of reaction) from baekhyun. i think that's cute, but i didnt think so much about it but then it happened again with that chanbaek bandana and the feels

I've been lurking here for sometime and never said anything, but some stuff that I've read here made me want to say this...

 

 

I don't really like how some of you guys are making it seem like Baekhyun is so dependent on Chanyeol. Just like some user said above, we shouldn't see them as a "pack" because they have their own lives, but it seems like to some of you this only applies to Chanyeol?? Because I read many comments here implying that Baekhyun only goes out if it's with Chanyeol, only relies on him and even can't function without him like it's something normal... Seriously? Some of you may see this as something cute, but a relationship like this wouldn't even be healthy? We don't even know what kind of relationship they actually have to assume something like this (as in being just friends or something more).

 

Okay, Baek said he doesn't go out very often and prefers to stay home playing games, but he is a very sociable person so I'm pretty sure he has his own social life. We can't just make assumptions based only on what we hear/read on videos, interviews, fanaccounts, etc. I don't know, Baekhyun is my bias and those comments kinda made me upset, because it gave me the impression that you think Baek's life revolves around Chanyeol, while Chanyeol has his own independent life that doesn't involve only Baek. Sorry for this rant, maybe I'm exaggerating and reading too much into things, but I just had to let this out.

I agree, people always make it seem like baekhyun relies solely on chanyeol because that is very unhealthy and something that shouldn't be romanticized. However, I think what we were getting with "they are package deal" is you can't like baekhyun without liking chanyeol and vice versa because they are usually together and whatnot. When I got into EXO I biased chanyeol solely. Through chanyeol I discovered baekhyun and ultimately the chanbaek ship. I feel a lot of other people can relate this too. 

 

We could have included how baekhyun is typically seen as chanyeol's cum slut and dehumanized but when it comes to chanyeol and how he's characterized (horribly) people usually don't talk about it.  Like, people acknowledge that baekhyun is always stripped into this dependent baby who can't breathe without chanyeol but no one ever references how chanyeol is seen as baekhyun's errand boy and play toy either (not to mention how people apply hyper-masculine ideals onto him). I don't mean to offend but I don't think that is what we were trying to portray (that these gross expectations of baekhyun aren't true while chanyeol is the only victim of dehumanization when it comes to shipping. Additionally, pointing out the flaws when it comes to how chanyeol is seen in the fandom doesn't negate how baekhyun seen in the fandom). If you want to check it out, we had a disccussion about how the fandom sees / jumping the gun that leads to these gross expectations here and continues to the next few pages I believe.

 

If I forgot over looked anything, can you clear it up for me! I appreciate you coming to the thread and expressing your feelings on what we are doing wrong / being problematic about. I feel the thread should be an open space for people not only to discuss their feelings but if something is amiss, others can point out what is wrong so we can learn and grow as a whole!

Hi, thank you for your answer! About the whole "package deal" I actually agree that you can't like one without liking another. I also wasn't disregarding how Chanyeol is wrongly characterized within the fandom (sorry if it seemed that way) and I understand that there are unreal expectations from both of them. I just decided to point his out because while someone here said that they have their own individual lives, from what I've been seeing in this thread specifically (I wasn't talking about the fandom in general), this contradicted what some users were saying about Baek. You guys here have really nice discussions and rational analysis that I enjoy reading, so it bugged me when some people here described Baekhyun as someone who only relies on Chanyeol and can't function without him, and treated this as something normal.

 

But thank you for clearing this up, and yeah, it's great that we can express our feelings and have sensible discussions here, that's why I felt like I could open up and talk about this!

about my posts, which i mentioned about coming out as a pack, just like what user CookieCudler said is what i mean. There are stans who thinks they arent close, even thinks that they hate each other, which is ridiculous because obviously, they care alot about each. that's why its really confuses me alot as to why other stans can like the other, but hate the other. its really confusing, tbh.

 

And i told about baekhyun trusting chanyeol, its again for solostan, becausevi kinda ranted about it here. And its okay ranting, we should open up and share what we feel here, right? im sorry if my post came out like that :D

 

[baekkiehyun]

I'm on mobile, so it's hard for me to respond to individual posts but I just want to say that it can be frustrating seeing some shippers talk about Baekhyun and Chanyeol as if they are co-dependent and/or subservient to one or the other. I think it happens from both sides of the fence in different ways. However, I think most people on this thread respect both men as individuals and have nothing but love and admiration for them as Chanyeol, Baekhyun and then the ship itself. Sure, there are times when a joke may be misconstrued or we reach a little bit but that's the nature of stanning I think.

 

Like others have said, I also think there's a current trend for hating CB as a ship, because of misconceptions about their relationship and also shippers themselves. There are of course shippers who take it too far, but I honestly believe that overall the people here and those I tend to follow on Twitter are very respectful of the boys. They love them dearly and have seen how amazing this relationship has become over the years and wouldn't do anything to hurt them. It's a shame that antis are stuck in 2012/2013 because there's so much more to this ship than that.

Has anyone read the Sweet Lies lyrics? What are your thoughts on it? I think something is going on with CB:'( or maybe I'm just reaching here since it's 5am and I haven't sleep yet. Please excuse my English.

[lemonemelon]

Has anyone read the Sweet Lies lyrics? What are your thoughts on it? I think something is going on with CB:'( or maybe I'm just reaching here since it's 5am and I haven't sleep yet. Please excuse my English.

Personally, I haven't read the English translation of the song. However, the song to me sounds so sexy I imagine CB listening to it while having their sweet time. lol, sorry. And to be very honest and I am sorry if I sound too harsh, maybe you just overthink it.

 

Not to be a shipper pooper (?), but as much as I enjoy reading every Chanyeol's writing analysis in here from you guys (Seriously, you guys are amazing. My favorites are Freal Luv and Heaven), I don't really like it when we always generalizing that every song he wrote is about his relationship with B. I mean, we should try to look from his perspective and creativity as a songwriter. The idea could be from anywhere. For example, if he wrote a song about a broken heart or a man falling in love with a woman, I don't like to jump to the conclusion that his relationship with B is broken or him falling in love with a woman (not Baekhyun). We never know, maybe he put himself into the other's perspective like seeing his friend's story or something like that. Don't worry about it too much.

 

Today's update:

Baekhyun updated his IG.

https://twitter.com/taste_614/status/904965821725786115

 

 

He said it again about don't believe on the internet thing. He said it twice now after the last fan sign event, he must be so annoyed by that. What makes me amazed is that Chanyeol also liked the post right away (duh, he sure is put B's post on notification). It's also like once in a blue moon he likes Baekhyun's post on IG. And seeing the content which is similar to what Baekhyun said at the event, maybe Chanyeol was really supportive about Baekhyun's statement (and it is a serious matter cause it has been said twice).

 

I think you guys know why but I don't wanna bring the reason in here though, I think this is not the best forum to talk about that. (and I also assuming the reason why, it's very unclear).

Let's just cherish the moment that they have each other's back.

You're right. Chanyeol loves music and write songs so much and like you said he could get inspiration from somewhere else. I'm sure we'll get to see more new songs written by him in the future so yea I shouldn't assume that every songs Chanyeol write is about B or their relationship. Sorry I have a problem where I just over think sometimes when it comes to Chanbaek.

Anyway Sweet Lies sounds soooo good I love it. Chanyeol did a great job. I'm looking forward to more new songs from him.

https://twitter.com/taste_614/status/904965821725786115

 

 

He said it again about don't believe on the internet thing. He said it twice now after the last fan sign event, he must be so annoyed by that. What makes me amazed is that Chanyeol also liked the post right away (duh, he sure is put B's post on notification). It's also like once in a blue moon he likes Baekhyun's post on IG. And seeing the content which is similar to what Baekhyun said at the event, maybe Chanyeol was really supportive about Baekhyun's statement (and it is a serious matter cause it has been said twice).

 

I think you guys know why but I don't wanna bring the reason in here though, I think this is not the best forum to talk about that. (and I also assuming the reason why, it's very unclear).

Let's just cherish the moment that they have each other's back.

 

 

I think this is one of the best translations out there rn, maybe there is a better one somewhere, but this one seems to make the most sense in English? Anyways, here:

I will leave the analysis to someone who can interpret it better if there is anything to analyze bc I'm lazy asf rn and only wait for E X O's cb stages and precious CB moments to share with this thread.

 

 

True, those kind of things are better suited for the official Baekhyun thread or the private group chat we have for this thread; I just know that it's the same old antis who target E X O with nasty rumors before every comeback since their teaser days, I hope it will calm down once E X O finish their promotions, bc it's clearly getting out if hand when Baekhyun decided to address the issue on IG, I just want him to be able to breathe again, he deserves the world, he's such a beautiful human being inside and out.

Not a moment or anything but it's nice that they have the same "concept", Chanyeol in the VCR and Baekhyun in the MV, both floating in water, both looking like gods.

Mama Park posted old pics of Baekhyun and S e h u n on the official Viva Polo IG and tagged both Baek and Yeol even tho Chanyeol is nowhere to be seen in the pic while she didn't tag Chanyeol in the pic with S e h u n:

It's interesting how she posted old pics all of a sudden and tagged CB in one pic where PCY isn't even seen but it only shows that she loves Baekhyun too and supports her own son and BBH as a ship since she knows by now that they are also shipped romantically, not only as friends (she already posted CB stuff and talked about that she likes BBH in the past and CB shippers ofc responded with the usual stuff on IG, which is a bit ... but well, she does it herself and is aware of it, if she wouldn't want those type of comments, she wouldn't post CB). I just love how pure her love for the boys is and for E X O as well ofc. Now I don't wanna speculate why she posted it, there are boundaries and lines we shouldn't cross imo, just that she loves and supports them both and even them both as a ship should be enough for us, I mean not every shipdom can say about one of their ship's family member (especially a parent) that they are supportive of the idea of their child/relative being romantically shipped with a same sex group member, bless Mama Park.

 

 

 

EDIT: She deleted the pics and only kept the one that wasn't tagged, I think the CB comments and anti comments were too much smh. Why can't people be a bit more cautious, she's Chanyeol's mother after all, we lost a beautiful thing, what a mess.

I wonder what Mama Park was thinking or what was going on in her mind that she decided to post these pictures? The pictures are kind of vague and blurry too.. Maybe she doesn't have a specific reason but it is a bit confusing. It would've been a lot less suspicious if she had also tagged Chanyeol in the picture of S*hun. Also she placed S*hun's tag on him in the picture but placed Baek's & Yeol's in the top left corner. She could've done what did on S*hun's picture for Baek too. I'm not saying this all has to mean something but it's kind of... weird. 

 

Thankfully we know Mama Park is very supportive of Chanbaek, I don't remember these pictures being posted in the thread (sorry if they were!):

She obviously knows about Chanbaek (I mean, she even knows the fansite?!) and it seems like she doesn't just accept it, but also supports it a lot. I've posted pictures before of Viva Polo and how many Chanbaek pictures decorate the restaurant. It's lovely to see that Mama Park is so interested and I'm sure she wouldn't put the Chanbaek pictures up at Viva Polo or post them on her instagram is she was against the shipping.

Awww I knew of that, but I dunno if it was posted in the thread before, it's so cute how she supports her son and looks up stuff on the internet about him and even fansites for CB, everybody needs a mother like her.

 

 

The fanmeeting today blessed us with so many CB moments, somebody come through with organized posts

Today was a good day! 

 

 

About the whole mama Park's tagged pictures issue, I think people really need to chill, both rabid shippers and crazy antis. Like, it's not like you're supporting your biases if you spam every account with CHANBAEK IS REAL YADDA YADDA and stuff, you can't please them in this way. I've already said it, but I won't stop repeating it. LET THE POOR BOYS AND THEIR FAMILIES ALONE, for F's sake. Baekhyun's IG post of yesterday wasn't probably related to anything of this (or at least it seems like so, take my words with a grain of salt), but I can't deny that it really made me upset for a while. They are undergoing so much stress and tiredness, they don't need any other unnecessary pressure imo. I just hope they'll manage to get some well-deserved rest after the repackage promotions are over. My little heart sometimes feels so soft thinking of my boys, really.

So many cute moments from the fanmeeting!  Especially Baekhyun fixing Chanyeol's collar took me by surprise~ 

 

Team Power actually lost the games they played, but Chanyeol mentioned that "his mood would not turn bad, even if they lost, because he was in the same team as Baekhyun". Please listen to this audio and Baekhyun's laugh after Chanyeol's words to add a few years to your lifespan.

the gifs  this gotta be one of the cutest chanbaek moments ever. its rare that we get baekhyun being touchy in the stage with chanyeol and even if all of those are just little touches, I will forever treasure it. 

 

 

 

there's a lot of negativity & rumors going around, and the only advice I can give is to trust baekhyun. I know some stans tends to overreact, but now is not the time to overreact when baekhyun obviously needs his fans trust now. be it just because he's affected of rumors or something negative is about to happen (in which we are not sure, and we don't know anything) but this time, whatever it is, I trust baekhyun with all of my being because he told me so. With his words, I am honestly not worried 

 

IN BAEKHYUN, WE TRUST. â€‹â€‹
