Is Entire Kpop Industry Sabotaging EXO? Yes They Are,Since 2016;Too Long The King Ruled,They Thought

It all started with the "Internal data", and continues till unfair nomination in SBS Inkigayo, 2018.

The worldwide mega popular band EXO released their 5th album Don't Mess Up My Tempo on Nov 2, a trend setting album which was widely appreciated for the elements and new attempts in the song, also liked by every Kpop lover. Antis did try to cast a negative opinion on the comeback album and tried to influence the mood of the EXOL fandom, but it not work out and pathetically failed. After all, EXO is indeed unbeatable and their powerful fandom EXOL are unstoppable.

Even with absolute zero promotions and even when their album was released along with several digital monsters in the field, Tempo is slaying charts and breaking records right and left. It was a full house, an exact opposite of an empty house, which I believe antis should know.

And, the fact that EXO, the King of Kpop, keeps ruling the industry for 6 years continuously has really pissed off the Kpop industry, it does seem like it after observing all the happenings in the Kpop industry.

Here's the list of award shows and charts in Kpop industry that deliberately took measures to sabotage EXO.

1) Melon - The initiator

Yes, it all started with Melon's "internal data" in 2016, and robbed EXO's album of the year award. Everyone was in shock when it happened. When fans questioned the criteria, melon simply stated it was due to "internal data". But when they released the internal data, EXO's Monster was the most streamed song in 2016 with 190,898,389 streams! Melon issued an official apology later.

2) MAMA actually tops the rank

Followed by MAMA in 2017, which fans say as the biggest snake in kpop industry, made several changes to the criteria for awards which was highly suspected to have made just to eliminate EXO from the game. There have always been controversies with MAMA awards. More than the awards, MAMA was actually more famous for their unfairness and biased selections. But they do not seem to care about it. SM and YG company has boycotted 2018 MAMA awards, seems like they are conducting the award shows for empty chairs or the invisible people on the chairs.

3) Gaon, the dedicated sabotager

Next in the list is Gaon. When EXO's album "The War" was released, it took over the charts and Korea by storm. But Gaon charts made changes to their social charts and linked youtube and YinYueTai links for all artists, except EXO. Fans noticed it immediately and it was corrected, but still missing out the biggest Kpop band in charts does seems suspicious, according to fans. Gaon also announced that they would no longer be collecting data from Weibo. This confirmed the suspicion, EXO has massive fans in China, and eliminating Chinese charts only proves their act to sabotage EXO. But too bad, EXO still stayed number #1 in their charts. Gaon did not stop there, they counted EXO's album as two separate albums, counting their records from Chinese and Korean markets differently. Did Gaon beat MAMA in sabotaging EXO? Well no one has answer for this question.

4) Hanteo, the manipulator

On October 18, Hanteo chart apologized for manipulating EXO's 2017 Album sales. They officially admitted that their employee manipulated EXO's album sales and Chinese bulk order numbers with an intention to show less count of sales. But why only EXO? Many Naver articles were published that the employee who tampered with EXO's sales is an anti. But can one employee do it all alone? If an employee manipulated, did their seniors did not cross check and simply allowed it to happen. Fans ain't buying the story.

5) The GDA - Golden Disk Award - The poor shade

After all the unfair criteria changes and chart manipulations and mistakes made by charts, EXO did perfectly fulfil every criterion for GDA daesang. But GDA stooped really low and added a shade in their speech towards EXO while distributing 2017 daesang awards. They said, "so this year we were more fair in picking the Daesang winner". Does it mean they were unfair all the years before? Kpop community expressed that the statement was unnecessary, and it was totally unprofessional and controversial, and was an intentional disrespect to the other artist.

6) SMA - Seoul Music Awards - An attendance award

Seems like they too were an attendance award. They did not even nominate EXO for awards, simply because EXO did not attend the show even when perfectly fulfilled every criteria for the award. But the scam is, SMA did not announce that EXO won't be attending the show, and the money of EXOLs who purchased the ticket was simply robbed.

7) Soribada - Such a young award show but already corrupted - A popular opinion among Kpop fans.

In Soribada 2018 awards, EXO was nominated for Bonsang award, although EXO's albums had ranked number #1 position in Korean music charts for weeks and also in World music charts, Soribada simply choose to not give the award to EXO. Not just EXO, they did dirty to so many artists.

Now there is a new addition to the list, i.e SBS Inkigayo. EXO's score on Inkigayo this week had - Physical - 500, SNS - 3500, Voting - 0, ON-AIR - 0, Digital - 1146, Total - 5146.

Inkigayo was cancelled last week due to "reasons", and EXO did not perform. That might explain the score of ON-AIR. For digitals, Inkigayo counted till November 4th, and EXO made their comeback on November 2. That is literally 2 and half days of data. That might explain the low scores on digital. But what doesn't make sense at all is, why nominate EXO with people whose scores were calculated for the full period and for EXO only three days? Why actually make this unfair nomination? Inkigayo is yet to answer.

Many other music shows cancelled right during EXO's comeback week.

Kpop audience expressed that Kpop music industry now is highly rigged and biased. They go with several names, but surely united for one cause, i.e to sabotage the King. EXO has been ruling the Kpop industry for 6 years continuously. Too long the King ruled - they thought. When an emperor's reign is too long, of course the wolves will plot. This is not a fair battle against EXO, this is pure backstabbing.

Kpop music industry is cancelled!

SM delayed EXO's comeback this year and did not promote them at all. Fans are disappointed and furious over it. But seeing all the incidents, did SM delayed the comeback to protect EXO from Kpop industry who has well plotted against EXO?

Did SM intentionally delayed EXO's comeback to just stop the award shows from using EXO? Did SM not promote EXO in music shows because they already know what's gonna happen? But SM should at least send EXO to radio shows and send their song to radio station and let EXO go on variety shows. SM too is not being fair for EXO.

But the point is, Tempo still rules !
