[News] EXO Members Kris And Tao Scold Stalker Fans, 'Those Of You Who Follow Us Everywhere, Is It Fun?'

[News] EXO Members Kris And Tao Scold Stalker Fans, 'Those Of You Who Follow Us Everywhere, Is It Fun?'

After some extremely inappropriate behavior at the wedding of Baekhyun's older brother, some of the other EXO members have written messages to the group's extreme stalker fans.

Two EXO-M members, Kris and Tao wrote scolding messages in Chinese (that were very shortly afterward translated into Korean and then English) directed at the twelve-member idol group's sasaeng fans ('private life' stalker fans).

Kris expressed his disappointment in the so-called fans' extreme behavior by writing, "You are supposed to spend youth noisily. However, there is a limit to everything so don't waste your life's stamina and money following me around. I cannot be responsible for everything in your life."

After echoing the oft-repeated words of Shinhwa member Dong Wan, who dealt with his group's crazy fans directly during a fan meeting for their first album by sternly saying, "Shinhwa is not responsible for your lives," Kris went on to express his concern for the future.

"I am scared that you guys will later regret everything you do now. I hope you guys will live happy and complete lives," he ended.

Tao expressed similar feelings, but a bit more scathing in nature.

"I really can't stand you guys calling us continuously throughout the night. Those of you who follow us everywhere, is it fun? I really hate this invasion of my private life. I am not a criminal. I want my rest and I want my personal space! Not like how things are now."

After reading these messages, it is hard not to feel bad for EXO. With fame often comes an invasion of personal life, but there is no denying that these sasaeng fans have gone far beyond what even the most extreme stalkers would do to get a glimpse of the idols.

Crashing weddings isn't even the half of it. They chase the members around in cars and on foot, disrupt airport operations when the group is heading off to their overseas activities, throw things, attack - the extreme behavior is seemingly endless.

So extreme, that not that long ago the entire fandom got banned from Inkigayo tapings.

The only hope EXO has of maintaining any sort of normalcy in their celebrity lives is by being blunt and direct with their stalkers in messages such as these. Hopefully when the sasaengs see just how badly they are hurting the idols, they will ease up on the stalking and grant EXO's wishes to leave them alone.

[News] EXO Fans Ruin Baekhyun’s Older Brother’s Wedding

It looks as though certain wedding guests couldn’t contain their excitement over seeing EXO and ruined a rather momentous occasion for Baekhyun‘s older brother, his bride and the rest of the wedding guests.

On September 29, photos from Baekhyun’s older brother’s wedding flooded online community forums under the collective post title, “EXO Fans that Went Too Far.” The coined term for fans who often violate the privacy of their idols is also known as “Sasaeng.” Netizens have thus assigned these fans the “Sasaeng” title.

It is still unclear as to whether these sasaeng fans were simply overexcited wedding guests or uninvited wedding crashers.

According to the eyewitness account of one of the wedding guests, “At what was otherwise a peaceful wedding – the moment EXO made their appearance, things just went crazy. They were going to sing a congratulatory song for the groom and bride, but then all of a sudden these people we hadn’t seen before started standing on chairs to film and creating a ruckus.”

The wedding guest went on to share, “Not only that – they also ruined the cake-cutting ceremony. Since the EXO members were standing behind the groom and the bride, these fans formed a crowd around them and prevented any of the guests from getting near with all of their begging for autographs and incessant picture-taking. They had no respect for the groom and bride- it was their special moment.”

Here are a couple photos that were taken at the wedding. Netizens have described Baekhyun’s expression as a mixture of embarrassment and anger. The second photo reveals just the unexpected chaos that ensued with EXO’s appearance at the wedding.

A once in a lifetime event for EXO member Baekhyun’s brother has been reportedly ruined by the sasaeng fans of EXO.

On September 29, photos from Baekhyun’s older brother’s wedding flooded online community forums with the titles, “EXO fans are too much”, shaming a number of fans. The photos showed EXO’s fans, which were like uninvited wedding crashers, went overboard and showed inappropriate behavior at a rather momentous occasion.

According to eyewitnesses, the EXO fans blocked the way of the guests, snapped pictures of Baekhyun and the new married couple, and even documented the event and tried to get autographs, causing more ruckus in the ceremony.

Saesang Fan Sends Haunting Message To EXO’s Baekhyun

I’m not the only one getting sick and tired of this, right?

EXO‘s Baekhyun recently attended his brother’s wedding, but the event, which was supposed to be joyous, turned out to be a nightmare, due to over-zealous fans crashing the venue. It was apparent that the singer did not enjoy their presence, as a blurry picture taken by someone at the wedding shows that his face and even ears were completely red from anger.

Baekhyun angry

To make matters worse, a saesang fan decided to leave a disturbing memo on her Daum account, referring back to the incident:

Baekhyun-ah, I told you

Stop messing around, or we really don’t know what we’ll do next

Why do you think we went all the way there and caused a fuss?

Our puppy is so cute when he’s mad

But it’s time to tone down that personality isn’t it? You’re a public figure hehe

Try treating us like we’re insects one more time, we really don’t what we’ll do next time

And send your brother our congratulations on his wedding~

saesang message

Okay, can we just have a moment here? Honestly, what in the world IS this?

I’m going to point out a few things wrong with this:

1) This is a threat
2) Referring to him as a dog is rude and demeaning
3) This is a threat
4) Saying congratulations doesn’t make things better
5) This is a THREAT

SM Entertainment, are YOU going to do ANYTHING about this? This is clearly not coming from a sane human being; this girl is deranged and should be taken into custody for the obvious threat that she’s sending. YG Entertainment has already taken action against one of these delusional “fans”, so why can’t you, SM?

And, honestly speaking, I don’t even want to use the term “fan” to refer to these psychos. Let me just use this time to tell all of you that these people are NOT fans; they are STALKERS and CREEPS who should NOT be categorized with EXO fans. Their behavior does not dictate the behavior of the fandom, and nobody should associate these sick people with a dedicated person who actually cares about their idol’s private life.

This isn’t the first time that something like this has happened, and I’m incredibly sorry to say that this probably will not be the last; unless SM puts on their big boy pants and pursues this problem, EXO will continue to suffer.

Saesangs, this is the fandom’s own special message to you:

Exotics vs saesangs

[News] EXO Chooses Taeyeon as the Prettiest SNSD Member

Out of the nine members, EXO chose Taeyeon as the prettiest in Girls’ Generation.

On September 25’s broadcast of SBS’ One Night of TV Entertainment, EXO and Taeyeon were visited on the set of a cosmetics commercial for an interview.

During the interview, the EXO members were asked if Taeyeon was the prettiest SNSD member.

Gathering their voices together, the EXO members immediately replied, “Yes,” making Taeyeon become awkward, saying, “I think they’re just saying that.”

Putting EXO on the spot again, the reporter mentioned that at the One Night of TV Entertainment studio is Sooyoung, who is watching the entire thing from the MC desk. Right away, the EXO members let out a bashful smile and said, “I love you,” to Sooyoung.

Meanwhile, Chanyeol jokingly bragged that EXO’s popularity must be because of their visuals. “I think people like us because of our visuals. It’s something we’re all confident in.”

SISTAR Is Up Against The Boy Bands At MTV EMAs

They’re not exactly “new” singers…

On November 11, the MTV EMAs will take place in Amsterdam, and there will be a five Korean groups competing for the title of Korea’s Best New Singer. SISTAR is the only girl group to be in the running, and is pitted up against EXO, B.A.P, Boyfriend, and U-KISS. It appears that MTV hasn’t really taken into account the “new” part of this category, and instead is just focusing on international popularity, given the fact that U-KISS has been around since 2008 while the other groups range anywhere from that time until last year.

It’s a bit unfortunate that no rookie groups are being put into the spotlight at the EMAs this year, but it’s great that they opened up a category just for Korean music, considering that it’s a European award show! If you want to vote, head over to the EMAs official website. But, there’s a catch! To vote for any of the Korean groups, you must be logged in on the Korean website for the EMAs.

T.O.P Continues To Impress With “Commitment” Stills

T.O.P’s anticipated film will premiere later this fall.

The Lamp and Gold Fish announced that Commitment (동창생/Alumni) will premiere in November of this year. After making this announcement, the production company also released three stills of T.O.P from the film. Each photo shows a different side to T.O.P’s character, Myung-hoon. The first photo shows him on the phone with an almost blank stare as if to say he cannot believe what he is hearing. The second photo shows a softer of him. He’s sitting at a piano while watching a female happily play. The final photo shows him sitting with his head down in a dejected manner. In this photo and the first one we also see that his right hand is bandaged.

Commitment portrays a story of a North Korean man (T.O.P) who is forced to go to a prison camp with his sister due to their father’s failed espionage mission. In order to save his sister, Myung-hoon offers to go to South Korea as a spy. He enters South Korea and enrolls as a student. While there, he meets a girl (Han Ye-Ri) whom he becomes fond of. In the meantime the South Korean government is tracking him and his own government is out to kill him. The film also stars Kim Yoo Jung, Han Ye Ri, Cho Sung Ha among others. Stay tuned for more information regarding premiere dates for Commitment.
