TYSMMMMM AND YOUR ENGLISH IS NOT WEIRD!!! I feel so bad for the boys tho 😔😔😔😔

you're welcome 😊😊 and thank you eheh since english is not my first language, i feel very insecure and all

for the boys the only thing we can do it is support them the best way we can and trust them to do the best. Let's wait patiently

[taegae]

hi I'm a new exol, could you pls explain the feud between sm and exo?

oh? welcome to the fandom, new EXO-L!!!! I was not expecting this question, ngl. I think this is very complex and I'm not the best person to answer it. However, you can still read my big ass ramble (with my weird english):

The history between EXO and SM has years, so there are a lot of moments where we had big problems and rn I can't expose or even remember them all. But it started with their debut. Yes, SM invested a lot in EXO's teasers and all, but it was not well received in korea and EXO were called at that time "SM's biggest mistake". It took a full year for them to have their first comeback with wolf... (and they were the new baby group of the agency). They also had a lot of anti-activity going on (even before they debuted, tbf), and to me SM never did sh*t to help them out . Till today, we still have a big anti EXO activity (including akgaes - they are very bad solo stans lol), but SM apparently doesn't know how to get into action and sue them lmao. We almost need to beg this agency to do something to deal with rumours, protect their artists... (example, if you search on twitter "Chen" "protect" "sm" you can find all you need). Kinda wild .

Not only that, but SM has the tendency to prioritize newer groups, and even when EXO was (or is) the group with most sales, we were having problems with underproduction, zero promotions activities, poor management, etc. SM loves sabotaging them lol.

I trully don't remember a comeback where we were not annoyed by SM's decisions. In 2015, for example, SM could have been smarter with call me baby and promote it more internationally. Spoiler alert: SM didn't do it. But funny enough, SM decided go to the international market with superm in 2019, where kaibaek were exploited and overworked (not saying the others weren't).

Furthermore, we are talking about a big agency who is known for having some problems related to... let's say, problematic contracts. Between 2014 and 2015, 3 chinese members filed a lawsuit against SM to terminate the contract, claimind unfair treatment, lack of support towards their activities and health, unfair payment and discrimination problems. A person could think this was going to be the last situation envolving an lawsuit... yeah, no, we have the most recent problem with CBX.

The CBX vs SM:

They "reached" an agreement... https://www.soompi.com/article/1594856wpp/exos-baekhyun-xiumin-and-chen-reach-agreement-with-sm-entertainment-release-joint-statement

But yeah, the story doesn't end there lol: https://www.soompi.com/article/1666874wpp/exos-chen-baekhyun-and-xiumin-to-hold-press-conference-regarding-dispute-with-sm-entertainment

https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/06/inb100-responds-to-sm-entertainments-statement-regarding-unfair-terms-in-exo-cbx-deal

To understand this last part better: https://x.com/kyoonghrt/status/1801311638772920322

All of this with a lot of SM's media play :) it's really hard to have all the facts and details, and it's really complex when we are talking about contracts, the nature and details of those... so, yeah, we are going bald with all this stress and lack of transparency.

If you want to, you can watch this compilation here of EXO exposing SM (some topics: SM control freak, creating idol personas, greedy, abusing it's power, yeah) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brXrQHKiSik

kaisoo real couple plaids and outfits theory 161016

First of all it started with this, when ji wore plaids/checkered as well. That day, they went to the movies, them alone, if i remembered correctly, I believe this date is close to Valentines day as well. Cute.

Now look at these are kaisoo’s iconic moments, and notice this, at least one of them is always wearing plaids / checkered.

One can argue that ‘its a photoshoot they are wardrobed by staffs’ and you are very right but that doesn’t take away the fact that kaisoo wore plaids when kaisoo happened. kaisoo x plaids has been established before kxk, and it is possible that kaisoo notices this?

Because there are many other incidences where kaisoo happened when there is plaid. Remember when ji hosted a radio? That day he called himself kai-d (j) (sounds like kadi) and he was wearing plaids as well. 160705

And also the infamous kaisoo private fan meeting. Remember the very first flower crown moment, ksoo was wearing plaid once again. (This meeting is also somehow private, why must it be so secretive when its something concerned of kaisoo being together)

—-

Moving on, Kaisoo can match clothes once and it could be coincidence, but they didnt only match once, they matched plaids many times in the airport.

Plaids is a kaisoo thing ever since those iconic photos, So why did they choose to SUDDENLY match plaids, out of all pattern after april 1st?

Lets go to their airport fashion, ex o is a mature group, i doubt they are 100% controlled by their stylists. And kaisoo matched clothes several times as well.

Here are some examples of kaisoo matching plaids.

- 160812 plaid shirts

- 160824, again, kaisoo wearing the white undershirt, the same mask and both unbuttoned their shirts. Also notice these two dates are quite close, you really think these are only coincidences? It looks planned to me, but maybe it could be coincidence?

- moving on to the third time, 160930. This day is important, because I noticed something curious

And now take a look at ksoo, his shirt size is way too big for the shirt to be his.

He didn’t roll up his sleeves, which is so long its way past his hands, and he doesn’t tuck his shirt in as well. We can notice easily that this shirt bigger than his usual shirts. That shirt is sizes bigger than him yes? I really wonder if that shirt is his..

now look at ji

doesn’t his shirt look a bit too tight? Compare this shirt with other pics like the ones I posted above, ji’s shirts are not usually this tight.

Kaisoo wore these shirts together to the airport.  ksoo wore a size too big and ji a size too small. Did they wear each other’s clothes? It could be done on purpose, I don’t believe in coincidences, not when it occurs repeatedly

- next outfit, also a very strange day. 160909. This is the day when dispatch took this picture

Why is this important? Well their outfit.

You see the green pants soo wear? Then the navy blue shirt ji wore? The navy blue shirt actually is 90% similar, if not exactly the same with the navy shirt soo wore WITH HIS GREEN PANTS during hats on fansign.

We all know hats on fansign is special, bc its one of the minimal fansigns/meetings kaisoo attended together. And what a strange coincidence that media, and hats on themselves also posted a pic of kaisoo on 160528:

So strange… dispatch posted pics of them with that outfit, while media and hats on posted a pic of ksoo wearing that outfit before…. Do we really think this is coincidence? I can tell you the media definitely knows btw.

Next, to a more recent event.

Ji wore checkered / plaid when he did his Vapp on 161012 at midnight. (so its in dark AM)

That night ksoo was in japan, and ji didn’t see ksoo for a few days. Coincidence again? But this is not it, bc look:

This is ksoo on 161012 morning AFTER Vapp. He wore a plaid shirt underneath his jacket. Maybe ksoo watched ji’s vapp broadcast? coincidence again… Maybe kaisoo is showing us something who knows.

And here is DMC rehearsal, where ji once again wore blue plaid. A few hours after this, ksoo returned. coincidence again?

So why is it always plaids when smth kaisoo related happen? Notice All these couple outfits though. Tell me, are we sure these are only coincidences? The point is, I can’t but notice these vague correlation between plaids patterning and all these kaisoo related occurrences…  

And lastly, this is just another example of kaisoo matching colour code clothes after kxk, and after sooxothers ships. kaisoo don’t only match plaids, but the thing with plaid is too much coincidence.

—

So is kaisoo actually making a statement that they are still going strong especially after kxk?

Besides, Why does it have to be them? Why do these coincidences have to revolve around kaisoo? bc If kaisoo is fake, the two people matching plaids and checkered wont be kaisoo, it could be, who knows. Ksoo x leo for example. Or ji x leetue k lmao?

Shippers didnt make these up, kaisoo themselves did.

Ps this theory aimed to target on plaids only as these are the most obvious clothes matching events I discovered. Also yes other boys do wear plaids too, its certainly a popular pattern but I am only pointing out these coincidences as an eye opener.

A THEORY IS DEFINED AS AN IDEAS that are TRANSLATED FROM MY BRAIN TO A TUMBLR POST. I declare nothing as Facts. This is only made for fun and help spark ideas of your own.

So yes everyone, have fun shipping! Kaisoo has been showing us they are still okay and going strong all throughout 2016, not only through couple clothes. So why should we give up? Stay strong KD!
