It’s all started with this qoo post which has like 570+ comments
더쿠 - 올해 남자아이돌 뮤비 첫주 조회수 & 실조회수
Anyway knetz were really surprised by the fact that EXO pretty much have no company driven ad views
Most of he comments are really shocked by how different SM treats their artists esp considering EXO is still their #1 BG here even without ads.
Lots of people will make the argument that EXO are has beens but like that would make sense if they were being outsold but they’re literally not. They’re still SM’s #1 BG in many categories. So it’s just bizarre.
A comment that really sent me was this
😭😭😭😭😭
With some ads EXO’s organic views as well as overall views would have been higher. I wouldn’t care usually but views directly contribute to music show wins and I would have liked more wins for EXO that’s all.
Giving some amount of ads and a second week of promo would have helped EXO so much and everyone in the comments section is calling that out.
