Official EXO-K Thread

[Mog]

Well.

 

[Mog]

Is that supposed to be a wink?

 

He's totes mid-blink and the fansite has a great enough humor to upload it.

[Mog]

I am on a mission to get Chanyeol's snowglobe, you guys!!! Wish me luck this all works out.

 

I originally started with Chen and Tao but I've already traded Chen for my 2nd EXO bias, but now I've found someone who has Baekhyun and wants Tao. 

Hallelujah! If I end up keeping Baekhyun/can't find a trade, I'd at least be happy with that. But if not, with Baekhyun it'll totally be easier for me to find someone with Chanyeol who wants him.

 

Does anyone else go through torture trading everything?

[Mog]

I haven't gotten my album yet. But if I don't get Kai

 

Did you only order one album? I always get both. It's hard right now with them combining snowglobes in the albums. I keep getting M members only. I'm not upset about getting M but I have 0 variety in my luck and it's irritating. I haven't gotten one K member on my own with XOXO, Growl, or MiD. And it's always the exact same people I get. I'm soifawaslkfj;woifuw[9foij c;oklrjaciuofckudsnfp zofijks;ihU GH

 

When you get yours let me know who you have! I'll try to help you find someone with Kai that wants the person you got.

[Mog]

I've only ever traded one time, but it wasn't EXO related. And I only did it because a girl I knew was desperate and I didn't care which photocards I had for that group lol.

 

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't usually hope for my bias when I get photocards. I usually just want someone who looks good in their picture. But if my bias looks good then of course I'll want their photocard! lol.

 

I pre-ordered my albums a long ass time ago and they're still not here. The only people who I don't have photocards of are Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Lay, and Luhan so I hope I get them.

 

My cards so far:

 

 

 

 

 

How I have all these is a long story, but I didn't buy any of these just on their own. They all came in albums 

 

 

 

Some people are like that. They're okay with multiple people. but I'm always looking for Chanyeol or Yixing. LOL. I get interesting stories with my cards and what I go through to get them though. I could (and would) buy them straight out but going through the pain of trading and trying to make it work is somehow kind of fun.

[Mog]

The only thing that really pisses me off is you know how sometimes the photocard choices will be individual card of each member, then one big group photocard.

 

I get so pissed off when I get the group card, like who wants that? The fun of the whole thing is wondering which member you'll get then you open it and its the group card 

 

For the MAMA group cards I have, they gave a group card + an individual card with those albums so I was fine with that lol

 

UGH YES. 

 

but it doesn't piss me off more than XOXO, GROWL, and MiD having mixed photocards. If I buy K I want a K member and if I buy M, I want M.

STOP MAKING IT SO DIFFICULT SM YOU'RE ANNOYING

[Mog]

I ordered only the Korean version

 

Well, good luck. 

 

Yeah, I definitely see how that's annoying. Especially if you're wanting someone specific. Your odds go from 1/6 to 1/12. 

 

Yep. :[

[Mog]

If I get Kai tho

 

When does it arrive?!

[Mog]

 

 

[Mog]

I'm really skinny in real life, but I just don't remember Chanyeol being that skinny? Seems he lost weight to me...I'd had to clarify with Mog if this is his normal size or not

 

With Chanyeol's legs, yeah. They're pretty thin. And his thighs aren't very big. 

 

 

 

With the picture posted, though, I don't think they're as small as they look there. The angle in which he's sitting, with his leg up the way it is, shows more of the natural shape that isn't necessarily with fat/muscle since that's resting on the other side (inside) his leg, which we can't see.

 

 

 

Merry Christmas, EXO-K Thread!

 

 

Did you guys participate in the Secret Santa exchange?

 

 

AND to keep things on topic, if you could buy a member from EXO-K a Christmas gift, who would it be for and what would you get them?

[Mog]

 

Yep

 

 

I would buy Kai a gift of course and I would want to give anything materialistic, but I'd ask Santa Claus to completely heal his waist injury SM may have enough money to temporarily heal him and give him pain shots, but I don't think it's actually fully healed or if it ever will. Idk I just worry that with all the intense dancing they always do, it will never actually have time to fully heal

 

 

Did you get/send yours already?

 

 

I get the same worry with Lay. Of course the two main dancers in SM have injuries from dancing. That's the bad thing though with injuries like that because they don't give proper healing time at all. I bet Kai has gotten just the minimum that he "needs" and then treats it in other ways (I've seen the pictures with the bandages on his back and waist in performances). I have a feeling Kai probably "endures" it more than anything and has (unfortunately) gotten used to most of the pain. :[

 

That's a really thoughtful gift, OneHallyu user Female MJ.

 

Have you ever thought of material (since 'possible' for you to get) things for Kai? There's been times where I've seen things and thought "I bet Chanyeol would like that" or could see him wearing it. 

[Mog]

 

I've sent mine but haven't received it yet. Maybe they saw my DP and ran for their life. By the way, you know I'm Kkamjong right???

 

 

Yeah it's unfortunate the main dancers have injuries, but if anything it shows their dedication. The fact that Kai is always in the center giving off powerful performances despite having an injury just makes me sad and proud at the same time. I'm happy he gives his all for his fans, but sad that it could affect him later on for never letting it fully heal.

 

As for actual materialistic things, I'm not sure. Lord knows his fansites have already basically given him everything he will ever need. He said he was inspired by Michael Jackson so I guess I'd try and get him an old signed album or something (Lord knows I'd go broke trying to get that though)

 

 

LOL YES ARE YOU KIDDING ME I can always tell it's you. I don't even have to go check your name change.

 

 

Speaking of his waist injury, have you ever given thought to things he might do in the future? Assuming it never gets better or ends up worse, even, from his working so hard on it, I wonder how long he'll dance? I mean, that's definitely something far off in the future but I always think about stuff like that with people who have injuries that directly relate with their profession. 

[Mog]

who has the most fansites in exo?

 

Fansites pop up so much that I'm not sure of any exact numbers but I'm near positive that it's still Baek. 

 

People used to say Baekhyun, but I'm not sure how accurate that is anymore. 

 

Baek has had a whooole lot of fansites pop up this year that's kept momentum with the new fansites with everyone else as well easily. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's still him.

 

Unfortunately there's no up to date fansite list to reference. Even FY-EXO hasn't updated to properly show. Fansites start all the time, and even some this year have closed. So it's hard to know.

[Mog]

I remember I tried to keep up with Sehun's, Baek's and D.O's earlier but I couldn't keep up with the ones they had let alone the ones that kept on opening. So difficult with them. 

 

Chanyeol's is very high as well and I'm having a hard time keeping up with his sometimes. Last time a friend of mine and I did a count, Chanyeol and Baekhyun had the most fansites. Followed by Kai. 

 

It's hard to know now. New people are starting sites, and even past sites who have scammed people with fangoods have started new ones as well to "hide" under a new identity. And then there's ones who are fandom or bias changing. and blahblahblah. It's a mess lol. 

[Mog]

Ugh. It'll be easier in a few years when their fandom size stabilises more and they don't open as often. 

 

Yeah! I can see that happening. And some of them will probably jump ship to a new group when they pop up, just like they did previously. 

 

Yeah it's crazy. It seems like new sites pop up everyday. Like someone posted a new Kai fansite just popped up today.

 

God bless anyone who tries to keep up with # of fansites for these 12 boys 

 

I only have about 50 of Chanyeol's fansites on my Twitter and that's not even beginning to cover the ones I'm missing or the ones that are weibo only.

 

Kai has a lot of fansites, but the only one I keep up with is Motion Picture

 

Why MPST?

[Mog]

LOL I'm sure a lot will. Especially if this SM Rookies becomes a popular thing. 

 

Yep!! There's some fansites who legit love supporting the person they're taking pictures of and then there's some who's in it for the money. EXO's popularity is only growing. You can imagine the $$ available to be made. lol

But yeah, it's only a matter of time before hopping happens. People do it. Some do it naturally anyway with the way they change fandoms every month. (I personally don't know how that's done, but people do it!! hahaha)

 

 

Glorious pictures tbh.

 

 

I just love the way she takes her pictures

 

Yeah, the pictures aren't that bad. You can tell it's not her first time with a fansite.

 

 

Jesus 50 fansites???? Your twitter must be flooded to hell and back everytime there is an event!

 

I followed like 4 of my fave Sehun sites (Iridescent Boy, Hyperbeat, Aiolos, Twinned Poison (joint w/ luhan)) and I couldn't handle it. Too many tweets, then when they were doing their fangood stuff they were tweeting too damn much I unfollowed everyone.

 

Now I just go to the Sehun tag on fy-exo after an event lol

 

HAHAHA not too much! That's not including the other fansites I follow as well. Though it's definitely not as much as I do with Chanyeol (for obvious reasons). 

I don't think it's that bad, though my tlist is very active anyway with people. So it kind of evens out and I don't notice. If anything I prefer the previews and site updates because I don't keep up with fy sites very much. D': So when someone (let's say Esprit, for example) does an index update, I know right away!~

 

I like Hyperbeat. I almost bought their photobook because I was really tempted. That teaser was damn good. 

[Mog]

 

Yeah some people have to work it to get the coinz haha. 

 

Yeah I know some people irl who are like that, constantly changing fandoms and stuff. I also have a friend whose exo bias list just like flips upside down every two days it's really confusing. I'm like... once I decide to commit to a group I'm with them like forever haha. 

 

HAHAHA YESS. I'm the same way. When I "bias" something, it's hard. I don't start caring just because I like it at the time and I'm waiting for the next thing to catch my interest. I invest in a group and bias pretty hard. It's why it was difficult for me to admit Chanyeol was my ultimate bias for quite a while (even though it was getting obvious). Because Onew had spent 4 years as mine. 

 

But yes, I also know people like that. Or they "super love" a lot of groups. I have a couple I really love but more than that is just casual for me. How do they keep up with so much?! Maybe my heart isn't big enough ahahhaha.

 

At this moment in time, I can't imagine liking another group like EXO. I've definitely invested emotionally. Even if I can't keep up with every thing like I wish I could, I can't imagine fully leaving them. x.x

 

 

I kind of ignored the fangoods stuff because I knew I couldn't have it. 

 

I mean I could have it if I wanted it, but I couldn't justify buying it to myself. Also, I wouldn't know how to explain a book full of images of an asian man to my parents when it arrived so I thought I'd just forego it. 

 

But it must have been a good teaser if you wanted to buy it and Sehun's not even your bias! 

 

Ahah the perks of not living with parents. There's no one to question what I'm getting. 

 

I'm super into photography and have been for years. It's a big passion and joy of mine so it's like a double win when I order a photobook! At first I wanted to get just any photobook that was Chanyeol related but now I'm picky and for the fansites/photographers I like, I'll keep up with those. It's bad because I'm big on collecting so now that I've started ..... x.x It's become an expensive habit, not gonna lie.

 

There's some Sehun fansites I really like! Even if he's not in the super top of my biases. Eventually I'd like to have at least one of each member but, we'll see how that goes and if I actually do that lol.

[Mog]

For me, rather than actually collecting (because the effort) I just like the idea of collecting. So I'm all   at the thought of a photobook for every member. Good luck if you actually do decide to do that!! Praying for your wallet. 

 

AHAHAH Thank you. I love watching photobook teasers because a lot of them suck me in.

 

That's how I ended up (also) almost buying Studio J (a Kai fansite). 

 

 

Yes. I'm all about this hair.

 

 

 

Lawd.

[Mog]

Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, Luhan and Kai. 

 

Chanyeol and Sehun have a shit load as well but yeah, All 12 have over 20 each. The amount of fansites they have is insane 

 

How many fansites do they have? If you know an estimate. I only know Chanyeol's current because I keep up with his and have an idea of Baekhyun's because of Katie. I haven't bothered to do a proper count in a while because fy-exo is missing a lot.

[Mog]

I'll say around 500. All the people I mentioned have around 50 or over + all the weibo sites so yeah just an estimate cause I doubt anyone knows

 

I didn't mean collectively, I just meant each. The people you listed I'd definitely say they all have the most, I was just curious how much. I can definitely see it being more than 500 though. Chanyeol has well over 60+ sites and even then I'm missing some.

 

EXO's fansite power is no joke. I went to look for a member's fansite of another group that I liked just to browse and I could only find less than 10.  But I have a feeling a group like EXO has fansites with more international fan access. I notice groups with smaller fanbases and fansites have a lot of Korean only exclusive fansite memberships. 

[Mog]

Scratch what I said. My friend, who keeps up a lot with Chanyeol, just said he has 80+ 

Ugghh why does Weibo have to be so confusing for me. It's hard to keep up. 

I have a lot of sites I need to go get bookmarked. :|

 

I only follow Kai's fansites and some his couple fansites, I can say he has +100 fansites (based on my number of my followings) but most of them are small =(. My favorite: OAOKAI, NOCUTPLAY, MR.DESTINY and MPST ==

 

 A lot of people seem to like MPST. I've liked Mr. Destiny's stuff and No Cut Play. I still don't know much about his sites.

 

 

Omg I forgot about No Cut Play. That was my favorite before MPST got popular and game out with amazing pics

 

Yeah. Best fandom ever

 

Didn't MPST only recently pop up? They're one of the "newer" sites, right?

[Mog]

MPST is a secret fansite LOL. She followed Kai from his debut but she has opened her fansite for few months ==

One more thing, her fancam of Kaisoo is epic == and people got attetion into her stuff.

There are a lot of Kai's fansites following her in twitter but she only followed 2 twitters of "cat" =))))))

 

There's a reason she's a "secret" one. ;) And that's all I'll say about that. lol. 

 

Anyway, I want to look at more Kai fansites lately so I think I'll start checking out some more. ^^

[Mog]

I followed all Kai's fansites in twitter.

But I prefer using tumblr to update about other members.

Go to "Sekai", "Kaiyeol", 'Chenkai", "Kaibaek" tags,... I got a lot of interesting stuffs == more than twitter LOL

 

I hate searching by tags because there's so many gifs and edits of the same stuff lmao. But I'm following the fy-jongin tumblr! I just need to dive into there more.

[Mog]

In regards to the talk about Baekhyun (too lazy to quote all those who mentioned it), Baek definitely has a heart where he feels passionate about things and is caring, but his personality does make it understandable why some would also think he's a bit of a "douche" (for lack of better word). The way he teases is targeted directly on people's insecurities sometimes, whether he means it in that way or not. And that can rub somebody the wrong way.

 

It doesn't make me like him less though. I like his personality the way it is and wouldn't want him to be different, but I can get it if someone sees it otherwise or more harsh during some moments. People have flaws but what makes it special is being able to accept them because of the rest. 

 

I see more good in Baekhyun and enjoy him too much to be bothered by anything else, tbh.

 

I think if anyone is "cocky", it's Sehun and Chanyeol, but I prefer the word .."confident"??

Tbh, I can see myself leaving the EXO fandom eventually. It doesn't make me any less of a fan during the time I stan them, but I can't be spending the rest of my life backtracking threads and fawning over people I'll never meet.

 

 

I think that's normal. I've thought about that as well because I know it's inevitable that it'll happen. I'm already pretty old (ouch) by kpop fan standard, and I know I won't be sitting there into my 30's fangirling over every thing that EXO does. I even now don't keep up with some of their stuff the way I'd like to because of real life getting in the way. 

 

So there might be a day, even if I don't plan it that way, where I'm in a completely different mindset. And I'm okay with that. What happens, happens.

 

 

I wish Chen was in EXO-K sometimes tbh. He fits their personalities more

 

 

I've had this thought before as well. Baekhyun and Chen together make me really happy and it's one of the things I get sad about when I think of a break on OT12 promotions. I really love Chen with K. You're right; he does fit their personalities more. Not to say he isn't great with M, but he really fits well with K. 

 

Also, beagle line.
