Regina 8,123 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Look, I love my boys to death, but I was bored during this performance. Why? Because I've seen it several times. We've all seen this exact thing several times. I wish SM would have let K do a special stage or something. Almost every group did something different or performed two songs except EXO-K. I just....I'm over this monotony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the CEO of SM , I think I might get half of the people working there fired .. they work Exo unnecessary alot then when they have too the kids don't have the power too , there concerts might be dead tiring, I am grateful they even appear there ... they should rest alitte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with you, it was kind of boring and I think it would've been better if they did some special stage, or maybe two songs, but they probably didn't let them do that because they look so damm tired.

초�색 569 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The problem here is not them for having only one plain stage, its.the.fvcking.LIP-SYNCING. I wouldnt even ask for another special stage if it's going to be lip synced as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoosh 572 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 it's ok if they didn't perform special stages, but to see they lip-sync really hurts my ears. it made no difference than listening to mp3 version except with video. i believe they can sing live and sm should too.

They let them sing live at their latest concerts, so there is already an improvement. If SM would only let them sing at music shows too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellMeWhy 1,273 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Can't SM just has f(x), the group that is actually promoting go rather than exo, who is having their concert to perform? Seriously, what does appearing in this even achieve for exo except for hate since they are so incredibly tired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassbaek 980 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Can we get a new era already? Overdose era is soooooo tiring not only for the boys but fans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat_OTO 5,064 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This comeback/concert tour must be approaching an end soon, surely. This group needs to sleep and recharge their batteries.

sparkilene 5,738 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This was a pointless performance. They could have invited that Thai impersonation version of EXO and no one would tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsolively 5,219 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 they should try to sing live for once unfortunately when only 3 can sing - it would be a lot to ask BaekSuD.O to do verses, chorus on their own whilst doing that choreo. That's the main issue with Exo as a whole only about 1/3 of them can sing (or are allowed to sing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the album and the choreography on the Overdose MVs still give me life but this has been a tough, tough time for the group. Plus SM doesn't believe in sleep/rest/healing from injuries. Everyday it seems EXO were at the airport/promoting some brand/doing a concert/on some music show. They don;t seem to have had a day off since May.

As a brand they may make a lot but once it's filtered through then divided by 11, it's probably not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a brand they may make a lot but once it's filtered through then divided by 11, it's probably not that much. A French news report two years ago (can't find it on YouTube right now) looked at EXO (in passing) and SME as a company. In their research, they found that each EXO member had a contract stipulating a fixed salary which was pretty basic (maybe US$40K a year?). However, given that SM provide the space in which EXO live (their 'dorms' in SM-owned real estate in Seoul), I don't think they have to pay rent. It may seem harsh but perhaps these boys signed on for a gruelling training, touring and basic salary because the hope is that they gain extra $$$ in endorsement deals and mega fame in return. The contracts likely allow for those extras (like CFs and appearing on variety shows, movies, TV, etc), but there is no doubt that SM are making the big bucks here and passing down pocket money. Not that SM is this Evil Exploiter -- they have invested a lot of money in EXO and want that back with interest. It is a business, after all. They also have to pay the songwriters, choreographers, producers (sometimes coming from the US, so there are additional costs there), the stylists, the noonas, the 24/7 handlers and managers, not to mention media handlers, medical staff, trainers and so much more that we do not see. They are covering the costs of the concerts and the trips and all that. A lot of that is probably why EXO is scheduled up to their eyeballs.

Cat_OTO 5,064 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Right, and CHINA. Because of its giant population, Chinese EXO fans willing to pay are probably giving SM life right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
