The real reason why EXO stopped growing


EXOSUS

Recommended Posts

I mean real growth not the mediocre achievements of them every year.

The reason is that they don't take their musical career seriously.

They only sing what others give them (the vocal line sure do a perfect job with that but still).

Instead of cementing their image as singers, they all go into acting and modelling.

IU, Big Bang, AkMu, and now BTS's music are largely enjoy and supported because they take part in their own music and show their passion about it.

Even though those artists might not be good as EXO in vocal, but if they keep singing with their hearts, the audiences will soon resonate with them.

 

EXO should have focused on their group activities more when they were still new. Now that the image of manufactured entertainer is embedded in people's mind, they won't anticipate EXO's future music even if they do improve, hence why I think EXO is never going to have another hit.

It's NCT's fault. EXO could be as big as BTS rn if SM isn't prioritizing NCT as their main boy group.

out with the old, in with the new!

OT: Lay, the best EXO member, is on hiatus so half of their fanbase left when he did

moreover, they need to kick the racist out and maybe they'll have another chance at getting bigger than BTS

I stopped taking this thread seriously when I read the second sentence

 

The way SM promotes them is questionable in this day and age with their poor use of SNS and lack of understanding of their target market but miss me with that shit about them not taking their musical career seriously lmfao

so according to you, 90% of idols don't take their job seriously just because they don't take part of producing?

and you also put down those producers who work hard to bring out masterpieces

 

I appreciate those who write their music

but for others who doesn't, do not belittle any group heart and effort

They had already built a big and loyal fanbase which will sustain them for years so SM stopped trying. Now they predominantly focus on profitable things like touring and solo activities.

 

I think Wolf/Growl/XOXO era was the only real time they gave 100% in promo but that was because they were still rookies and trying to grow their fanbase. They also tried in EXODUS era but lbr once they started touring we should have known it was never going to be the same promo wise.

I agree with you to an extent. Hyuna is someone who pops into my head in regards to this. The girl has been through literal shit to get to where she is today, and the common denominator in every step of her career is how she takes her music more seriously than anyone.

 

Writing/producing your own music isn't a marker for you taking your music seriously because - most of her music before the time she started writing her own things were produced by others but what really showed her determination and passion was that no matter what projects or modelling career or CF's or whatever, she still hold on to her music and even grew in a direction most wouldn't expect female artists to take at her time. 

 

So with this I do see why you might think that EXO aren't growing which I agree on with you because they ain't, but your claim shouldn't be based off of someone producing or writing their own stuff. There's more to it than meets the eye.

I think you re wwrong , SM is the one to blame for this . Chanyeol (even if I m not a fan of him) showed passion and desire to produce or write .And I m sure if SM give them a chance all of EXO members would ve been activly involved in the writing producing process .

SM is the one to blame

I don't agree. I would blame it more on SM not fully using the opportunities there are for them to grow worldwide, mostly when talking about SNS usage and group promotions.

 


Edit:

 

"They don't take their musical career seriously"

 

??? They work their asses off. Where does this come from?

Pretty much. Chanyeol would be ecstatic to join in on producing EXO's songs, and I'm sure Lay too once he can promote with them, as well as the other members. So far they've gotten as far as helping to create lyrics from some of their songs. Hell Chanyeol even has multiple songs of his own that's he's created, only some of which we've actually heard bits of.

Sorry, not really into boy groups but;

1) Is Lay participating in EXO promos?

2) If he is not, was it his own demand or SM's desire to make more money in China?

3) Who's the one you call racist & why ?

There's very little promotion for them so with other groups conquering the field while they are not doing any activities, they're being pushed the background more. What is the rest of EXO aside from CBX even doing at the moment?

CBX- Japan tour, variety shows

 

Suho, Sehun, Chanyeol, Kai, D.O- acting projects

 

Lay- a lottt of individual projects etc.

you seem forget that idol isnt just musician. they are also an entertainment. that was why they got acting lesson, mc, etc when they were training. so I dont think that modelling or being in drama and movie is what makes them stop growing.

 

another note, there's no need to put other group success on pedestal. exo growing on their own way, and get their own success. so does BTS.
