Fans Demand An EXO Comeback Without CBX Members Amid Dispute

Amid the EXO-CBX dispute with SM Entertainment, fans are demanding a comeback with the remaining members of EXO.

An online community post garnered much attention stating that the group still had a good balance of members to continue promotional activities.

“Suho– leader, lead vocal

D.O.– main vocal

Kai– main dancer, center

Chanyeol– main rapper

Sehun– lead dancer, lead rapper, maknae”

The OP stated that even with five members, they still had all the positions filled, including the original center position.

While some netizens felt this was the perfect timing for the resurrection of the original EXO-K…

“Wow this is the real EXO-K. Didn’t they practice as trainees together with Baekhyun joining at the end?”
“EXO-K is the real one.”
“This is why people look for the original. The members who trained together are left.”
“Even people who aren’t fans can see that these five have great balance with only the real ones left.”

“It’s basically EXO-K minus one member. EXO-K really has it all with good visuals too.”
“This actually works!”
“This is the foundation.”
“The center and visuals are all still there. The balance is actually amazing.”
“But honestly, even without CBX they could perform on stage as five.”
“These were the members that trained together for a long time. EXO-K.”
“EXO-K is the foundation.”
“This really works.”
“Wow not even half of them are left?”
“Let’s do promotions with the five members.”

…others felt that nothing should be rushed as nothing has been confirmed about the EXO-CBX members.

“Why is something like that being posted? Did EXO-CBX confirm that they are leaving the group?”
“Did EXO-CBX leave the group?”
“These five members aren’t doing anything. Do they need to be ridiculed like this because of the other members? What’s with the comments here.”

However, some people that weren’t fans even felt that five members were more than enough to continue promotions.

“Wow more than half of the members are gone…”
“EXO-K was the real deal from the beginning.”
“I’m not a fan, but I think these five members are enough to promote. They aren’t criminals and haven’t trolled about their contracts and caused damage to other members. It’s totally possible.”
“Wow EXO-K!”
“I love D.O.”

What do you think of this?

On the other hand, EXO-K is a sub-group of EXO and originally consists of Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun. The unit has not been active’s since 2016.
