I agree with other comments, I will say about myself that i stan exo since 2016, so I didn’t go through this phase when Kris, Luhan and Tao left. Talking with exol who stan them since the debut, I can say that for some it's a really unpleasant topic, but we all understand that there are so many people and different opinions.Therefore, don't worry, even if someone is offended, you will not please all people and that's okay. I respect and consider them talented people, but I don't follow their careers (only Luhan, because I like his songs).
Actually here we have 10 members. :) I don't think that "former members" is a sensitive topic. Maybe for some EXO-Ls... I don't know. You're honest and we respect this. Maybe because I started to stan EXO in 2018, or maybe 'cause the group was with 12 members only for 2 years, but this year we'll celebrate their 9th aniversary... I don't know, but for me personally EXO is 9. However, I do respect ex-members, support them and I am happy that all three are really successful with their own careers. For me is not a problem OT12. Everybody is free to support whoever wants just to be respectful. That's all. :)
EXO has been 9 for majority of their career and so for me exo is 9 there is no such thing as ot12 anymore. Even though I don't stan krislutao I'm happy that they all have successful careers now. There are exols who support them separately as solo artists. As long as you respect them its all fine. Please just don't consider them as only ex-exo members bcos they're more than just that they are talented and successful soloists. If you're interested in them you can check out their solo music :)
The guy that you saw is Tao, that he is still a child until now. He was in this mv with a fierce face, but he look like a sehun behavior bcz he’s the youngest in the group as well 😂
Just enjoy their music. Don't rush. Take your time. May be Exo going to connect with you one day if its meant to be. Till then just enjoy. ( can I say something about myself? I didn’t feel connected with exo in the beginning. I just liked 'love shot'. I took my time into listening to exo. Than suddenly I fell into exo. Don’t know how people fall in love with exo music . But for me exo slowly grew on to me. May be that's why I think Exo grows on to you after some time if you take it slow and enjoy without thinking about theories and stuff. And If it does than its tough to not fall for exo music.)
That is exactly why I do 😊 it is nice to have good music and I do connect with them but not as much as with some other groups. And thank you so much for sharing your story and accepting mine ♥️🐰
I would like to recommend you to watch Exo is family (part 1 & 2) if you haven't watched it yet. Hopefully it can help narrow the distance you feel, because I can see and appreciate your efforts to get into Exo.
