i have never seen fans come back to this wishful thinking so desperate and so often as exoLs : "exo could be ..... if... "
exo got exactly what they were able to achieve, they were popular in korea, and were able to make a good name for themselves because of their talent and the influence of SM. they were as successful as they should , as one of the biggest Kpop company groups should be: with a lot of money, industry connections, and media support.
i understand their fans want exo to be recognized as the biggest and best kpop group . but the reality is what it is : they are one of the good kpop groups. and only.
