I just found exo today from their song “first snow”. I’ve known individual members for a pretty long time now, and have listened to some of their solo stuff, so I finally decided to give in and listen to the actual group, and now I’m mesmerised. It feels like fate, really, after avoiding them for so long, I’m finally exploring them right when all the members are back and there’s hint of a comeback. But what… exactly happened in the past few years? It seems as if everywhere I look exo up, theres one member or the other who isn’t there. I haven’t really followed along the lawsuits that happened, all I’m aware of is SM is, and has always been, a crappy label towards their artists, what with the multiple lawsuits filed by so many of its former artists. Anyhow, ive mostly heard of exo with either one or two of its members leaving or on hiatus (in contrast to ‘we are one’, i’ve rarely ever seen them all as one except for wayyyy back). For one of the most legendary groups in kpop, they sure have had a lot to deal with. So…what exactly was their career trajectory, what went down behind cameras, and where do we stand now in terms of ever seeing a full comeback with all 9 (?is that right?) members? I would love to be able to witness them and see them perform live as a whole, but at the present moment I’m not even sure if that’s gonna happen.
