#falling for you n on the snow r better than unfair. n based on the fact that ifans think unfair deserves tfs attention i'll promote those 2

international kpop fans not understanding why the first snow has been receiving so much attention in korea the past few winters is mostly due to the fact that they don't read korean comments and because they joined kpop in 2018 or later

the first snow, the xoxo album and even love me right receive so much attention by k-audiences because that period of exo is very nostalgic too many ppl.

many ppl who stream the song now, 10 years after release, were in middle or high school when it was first released. the song reminds them of a different time, when they were younger.

in that 2013-2015 period there was 1 super popular boygroup (among the young bgs) who got most of the attention, exo. (at the time exo's "competition" were the big seniors, not the ppl who debuted around the same time they did.)

(2016/2017 was the hight of EBS (exo, bangtan and seventeen).

if you read korean comments about the first snow, the xoxo album or love me right, you'll find many koreans who say "exo, my youth" and other things of that nature. the love that old and ex-exols in korea have for peter pan and don't go, is a love that doesn't exist to that degree among international exols (at least not for peter pan. international exols didn't speak too much about don't go in the first few years until it was performed with choreo during the exoluxion concert in 2015).

people newer to kpop love to joke that "exols are stuck in 2013" but trust me, it's old casual and ex kfans who keep that period of exo's career relevant. in the case of many international exols xoxo isn't even in their top 3 of exo albums.

exo at this point in their career also has quite a few fans who don't even know that period of exo.

the people streaming the first snow are a bunch of people who are very nostalgic.

the first snow isn't even in the top 5 of best winter songs exo has.

a few exo winter songs you should stream (in no particular order):

falling for you (it is such a happy sounding song, for life mini)

december 2014 (real music)

on the snow (another happy sounding song, bbh's head during the first live performance of it, chen has solo version of it on his channel, sing for you mini)

the entire universe album (the album sounds sad)

my turn to cry (the bridge and outro, so good; this is one of their best songs in general, miracles in december mini)

what i want for christmas (they were singing on this song, for life mini)
