[DAUM] The Unfair Controversy Regarding Depression... Baekhyun's Maturity that Embraces Anti's

[DAUM] The Unfair Controversy Regarding Depression... Baekhyun's Maturity that Embraces Anti's​

Baekhyun from the group EXO has shown a mature side of him that embraces even "anti-fans" Intending to give healing to one fan at a fansign on the 30th, Baekhyun made a comment about depression, receiving attacks from a portion of his "anti-fans" as a result. One of his comments, "If I were to give my opinion, I don't understand why people get depression or insomnia. I'm not criticizing those things", was edited and spread without including any of the context surrounding the statement. This resulted in unfair reactions from those not knowing the circumstances the comment was made in. The netizen who first shared the comment with the online world has come forward protecting Baekhyun by saying, "Baekhyun was saying that he does not understand why people get depression or insomnia, there was no nuance indicating that he was looking down on depression or insomnia. He said, 'you should always be happy, it's no good if you are depressed' with a very sombre sad expression, with the nuance that I shouldn't give into or lose to these conditions easily. It is a comment that gave me strength and I received a lot of comfort while talking with Baekhyun, so I posted his comments to provide comfort to those who are similar to me. I don't know where the misunderstanding has started, I am upset and hurt by this." Even though something that originally shouldn't have been a controversy became one, Baekhyun has approached the incident with maturity. On the 2nd, he uploaded a post on his social media apologizing for the comment: "To be honest, recently I have a lot of fear and sensitivity about depression. But at that place, as that fan and I were sharing a lot of conversation I became so worried and suddenly I became scared. A fan that I wanted to give happiness to had come to this fansign that should be filled with joy and began sharing these stories with me, so I took it very seriously to heart. I had the thought that after the fansign is over and we separate I may never be able to speak with her again, so I think I was very hasty. I wanted to give her even just one more word of encouragement, and since she said she liked me I thought that I had the ability to give her lots of strength, and I felt that I had to say something quickly to her that day. After speaking with that fan, I was overcome with these thoughts until the end of the fansign". "That is why I told that fan as well as all the other fans at that place that if they are depressed or they have difficult times, EXO and other good people are by their side, in order to give them strength. While doing so, there was a part that I spoke of too lightly. I didn't have the ability to organize my thoughts and word them appropriately in such a short time, and spoke clumsily as a result. I regret choosing those comments, those words at that moment. I truly just wanted to give support and strength." "Even while writing this post, I am scared that I will make another mistake in my words. But I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry to that fan, and I wish to apologize to everyone who had been hurt by my words. From now on, I will be become a Baekhyun that speaks and acts with more caution." There is nothing that Baekhyun has done wrong to cause this "controversy". All he did was say words of encouragement in a sincere effort to comfort a fan, but it was twisted and in the end he had to apologize. However, in his apology he did not try to make excuses. Rather, he even repeated that he was sorry and vowed to act and speak with more caution in the future. Baekhyun, who is mature enough to embrace even his "antis", you did well and you are admirable. Post Response: [+13956] Top Comments: (t\n: this post is still getting lots of attention as so post up/downvotes are probably higher than here) "Baekhyun, you know my heart" [+5101][-62] "Baekhyun I'll always love you and support you" [+4941][-47] "I was comforted a lot by the words you said, I can't imagine how you must have felt writing that post.... I'll always support you, I love you" [+4798][-48] "Baekhyun is always warm" [+3264][-20] "I wonder where is the place that you can rely on (for support). Fans rely on EXO, and I am just one fan amongst the huge crowd of EXO-Ls, but to you who are standing in front of us, where can you go for support? 'When you are having a difficult time, hold tightly onto the hands of those eight people' is what I want to say, but the fact that there is only eight people makes me so sad" [+3032][-16] "To those who approached Baekhyun with condemnation and mockery instead of criticism, I hope that those things come back to you like a boomerang. Baekhyun I love you, you really are going through a rough time emotionally, from now on I hope that EXO and EXO-Ls only walk on a flowery path and are happy, saranghaja" [+2961][-18] "Baekhyun we know about your sincerity, instead I'm worried about the hurt that you've received. I love you Byun Baekhyun!!!! I'll always love you!!!!" [+2772][-14] "Of course we all know about Baekhyun's beautiful heart ~~ I'll always support you and protect you, I love you Baekhyun" [+2675][-14] "Baekhyun you are my universe" [+2565][-14] "Baekhyun please don't forget that I am always happy because of you, it's okay, it's okay, Baekhyun I'll always be your fan" [+2449][-12]

[PANN] Non Fans and Netizens React to EXO On Party People!

Aeriverse Translation Team YeyeWalkways 

[PANN] I'm just a person who enjoys watching Party People but​ ...

[t/n: All the photos are of OP's Melon player, showing that other artists have higher "match" ratings with OP's music taste. They also all have "Nate Pann" and the date written in numbers. It's common on Pann, especially when you're praising another group, to provide proof that you're not secretly their fan trying to hype them up.]

I thought EXO's live performances were good mmhmm My favourite was Suho's 'I Want To Fall In Love' that he sang at the very end This is something that I feel every time I watch Party People but I think that Jinyoung Park is very good at facilitating and hosting. Today too he got to know each of the members well and asked questions well(?), and as their senior in the celebrity world he said lots of good/helpful things to them, I think that in a variety of ways it was a meaningful time for EXO too Post Response: [+656][-40]​

Top Comments: "Honestly EXO's harmonies were such a gem" [+212][-10] "They really are good at singing, seriously no matter who listens to them Baekhyun and Chen are main vocals, Moon of Seoul and Sunday Morning were so clean but they sang it with their own colour too" [+204][-10] "Chanyeol really surprised me, I went "Huh?" since a person who had done rap was now singing but he sang so much better than I expected, to the point where I wondered why he's a rapper" [+199][-11] "Thank you as well for providing proof so kindly ㅜㅜ" [+56][-2] "Doesn't JYP also look a lot at peoples' personalities? But today after seeing EXO he said that they were kind, I guess they really must be kind o.o I watched it again" [+54][-0] "Suho's voice is really like a treasure, his voice is so velvety and his voice colour is good, there's something about it that makes people soft. I can't really explain it that well but the song and the voice went so well together so the emotions really came out, I teared up a little listening to it. I'm still feeling the aftereffects of it even now, so I'm going to try looking up songs that Suho sang solo ㅇㅇ" [+49][-1] "I'm also a muggle but I was really surprised, EXO's main vocal line sang OSTs and did a duet with Soyou, Chanyeol also sang a Goblin OST and Suho's voice colour was nice, even the two members Xiumin and Kai were above my expectations, I commend them" [+49][-0] "I'm a non-fan (and can prove it) but sometimes when I see EXO I feel so bad, there's so many good songs among their B-side songs and there's no members that are so talentless that they need to be insulted, to be honest if you listen to their songs everybody would agree? Please before you diss them I would like it if you tried listening to their music first, it's really unfair" [+48][-0] " 'My life was filled with splendor but now loneliness is coming'.... This part really seemed like it was sincere... because it was sung so seriously it hurt my heart more, somehow... Many idols other than Suho must experience that kind of feeling too but I wonder how many things did he have to endure as EXO's leader that he wouldn't have had to otherwise..." [+44][-0] "I really don't like idols but they all did well, I thought that they would only lip-sync ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Now I'm starting to feel doubt, I can't understand why they get criticized now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ" [+39][-0] "Suho, seriously it's just that he's been overshadowed by EXO's main vocal line, he actually also has that main vocal feel, watching him sing on Party People I was honestly shocked" [+38][-0] "When Chanyeol suddenly sang the introduction to Creep I got goosebumps, I knew he had a baritone voice but I realized for the first time how charming his voice is, and he sings so much better than I expected that I thought he should've been a vocal not a rapper" [+35][-0]

[NAVER] Hanteo Chart Apologizes to EXO-Ls (full apology+controversy details!)

[NAVER] Hanteo Chart Apologizes to EXO-Ls

~Aeriverse Translation Team 38sr, Translator Note~

Before we start, a lot of EXO-Ls know by now about the Hanteo situation that happened: a Hanteo staff member announced that Chinese group orders wouldn’t be counted towards album sales and this caused a huge issue. EXO Baidu Bar sent a message to Hanteo explaining how this is unfair to CEXO-Ls and is an act of racism/discrimination. Baidu Bar requested for an apology and Hanteo wrote one in Korean and currently writing one in Chinese. Now a lot of you guys might have also heard on social media about another fandom being involved in this situation. This is by no means to spread hate to this fandom and kpop group, but I want EXO-Ls to understand the situation better and not spread any hate or misinformation. This morning, Naver released an article about the Hanteo situation and it was revealed that the Hanteo staff member who caused this entire problem was an Army. When news of the Hanteo situation occurred yesterday, many K-Armies were expressing worries about Chinese sales for BTS comeback on an online community forum. BTS’s comeback is scheduled for September or October. Yesterday, the Hanteo staff member posted in the forum stating both that they were a Hanteo staff member and a fan of BTS as well.This staff member made a post to explain to BTS Kfans that sales in China won’t be affected and that the counting method was not remade. In addition, the staff member stated that because the comeback is near they wanted to reassure fans. This post was made before the Naver article posted today and the information the staff member gave out was confidential. 

This is the internet post made by the Hanteo staff member yesterday before the Naver articles came out. They released confidential information on the forum and openly stated they were both a Hanteo staff memeber and a fan of BTS's music. 

“Hanteo Chart Official Apology, Staff member shows group favoritism:”

Hanteo Chart was caught in suspicion of reorganization and idol preference. An employee’s Internet post has caused a problem. On August 17, in a BTS online forum a netizen revealed themselves to be a Hanteo Chart staff member. The staff member stated that group orders from Chinese fans would be excluded from total album sales and the system is being reorganized in various ways. Despite the fact it information was confidential, it was explained in details to fans on an open online community. In the end, Hanteo Chart has officially apologized for the content and the serious matter. The Service Marketing Team Leader posted on the official Hanteo Chart Twitter that ,”The employee who has caused this problem was excluded from the official account operations immediately after the problem occurred.” The employee was severely disciplined. He then pointed out the controversial behavior of the employee and stated, “It was wrong to react to certain fandoms and to cause fairness problems that limit information to other fandoms.” As for the bigger topic of Chinese methods of buying albums, “The conclusion we came to after various discussions was that we wanted to be as transparent and fair as possible.” As for the inclusion of foreign countries such as Europe, “Currently, Hanteo Chart are considering foreign K-Pop fandoms. The aim is to build a chart that connects every country with networks and the topic is discussed in many ways.” On the August 18th, a second apology was posted on the official website. “Hanteo Chart equally applies standards to everyone without favoring particular stores of music artists. This is the result of an employee’s misbehavior. All products sold through normal distribution channels in Korea and overseas sales sold through Hanteo Chart Network are collected in real time and reflected on the chart. We’re notifying you that all overseas purchases including the controversial ones from China and Europe are sold by normal domestic distribution channels. Therefore, there are no problems with the counting and chart reflection.” The following is the official apology. I apologize. Regardless of the reason that caused the controversy today on August 17, 2017, I would like to deeply apologize to our costumers in Korea and overseas (t/n: the exact translation is bow my head down which is a meant for a more sincere apology). The official announcement was delayed due to a lot of worries about how to express our sincerity. These are my words as an official staff member of Hanteo Chart. Firstly, Hanteo Chart equally applies standards one everyone without favor to particular stores and music artists. The situation was a result of an employee’s misbehavior. I sincerely apologize because the shortage of staff was on my part and lack of competence. Disciplinary actions were already taken against the employee accordingly with the internal rules of Hanteo Chart. Second, all products sold through normal distribution channels in Korea and overseas sales sold through Hanteo Chart Network are collected in real time and reflected on the chart. We’re notifying you that all overseas purchases including the controversial ones from China and Europe are sold by normal domestic distribution channels. Therefore, there are no problems with the counting and chart reflection. Third, Hanteo Chart aims to be a fair and reliable chart for aggregation service. Hanteo Chart pledges to make better efforts to approach with love and diligence. Once again, on the behalf of Hanteo Chart staff, I deeply apologize. Hanteo Chart President • NAVER

[ARTICLE] Hanteo Chart Actions Anger EXO Chinese Fans

​“Hanteo Chart staff apologizes.” Hanteo, a music sales site, posted an apology through their official homepage and social media. An employee’s departure has caused a big controversy. Recently, Hanteo announced new method of services, homepage reorganization and expanding the platform. Many idol fandoms who are sensitive about the number of albums sales were concerned about the reformation of the music chart. Meanwhile, the Hanteo Chart Twitter Account Management Service Team Head was claimed to have posted in the BTS fan community page, which caused a problem. The official commented about how the phenomenon of massive increase of domestic music sales were because of Chinese group orders. It was pointed out that the specific K-Pop fandom with overwhelming amounts of Chinese group orders were those of EXO. According to the official account, ”An official response about the community posts will be given as a disciplinary action towards the employee’s arbitrary actions with deep apologies and clarification.” “The question was not whether or not we should exclude Chinese methods of buying. Our discussion was how can we identify and sort out which of these tools are not part of the normal aggregation methods.” (t/n: Hanteo was never planning to exclude Chinese sales, they were talking about how to make the screening and counting process more fair) EXO’s Chinese fandom, who are known for counting album sales along with certifying every purchase with confirmation and receipts, also stated that not only EXO Chinese fans were angered but all idol fandoms were angered by the insensitive remarks of Hanteo Chart. Chinese fans wrote a long message explaining that, “The tools used by Chinese fans are normal and valid through Synnara, a music site that is member of the Hanteo Chart. We are all aware of the image people have about China, so we have to be cautious about causing damage. If Chinese fans have used an unusual route and there’s a need for discussion, let’s figure out the problem. We are ready to provide all the evidence needed and solve the problem.” In particular it was stated that, “The reason for targeting Chinese tools is because it's aimed at the country itself. The Chinese system is not understood well, so we wonder if it’s a question of it being aimed at a certain fandom, or if not, an act of discrimination against a country and race.” “Firstly, there is evidence of lack of understanding the market, therefore we will not trust the chart in the future. Second, providing information to a specific fandom is also an extension of this. These Chinese tools are used in almost every Chinese fandom that loves Korean singers. Thirdly, I have other thoughts I’m not able to express properly in words.” “Apologize to the Chinese fandom in Chinese. If you’ve done someone wrong from another country, apologizing in their native language is respectful." Hanteo responded, “ The Hanteo Chart equally applies standards to everyone without favor to particular stores and music artists. The situation was a result of an employee’s misbehavior. I sincerely apologize. Disciplinary actions were already taken against the employee accordingly with the internal rules of Hanteo Chart.” “All products sold through normal distribution channels in Korea and overseas sales sold through Hanteo Chart Network are collected in real time and reflected on the chart. We’re notifying you that all overseas purchases including the controversial ones from China and Europe are sold by normal domestic distribution channels. Therefore, there are no problems with the counting and chart reflection. Hanteo Chart pledges to make better efforts to approach with love and diligence.” Lastly, according to the official SNS Hanteo Chart account, “Currently, we are preparing a Chinese translation of the apology to Chinese fans. We ask for your understanding and patience as it takes time to translate properly with no misunderstanding through professional staff.”

[PANN] Knetz discuss EXO's successful career and how wrong antis are

[PANN] So about EXO​

I'm a person who became interested in EXO while reading lots of anti posts about them on Pann. To be honest, EXO is impressive.

Whether it's musical ability or whatever, there must be some reason for an artist to still have such a passionate fandom even when they're in their 6th year since debut. While doing your own fan activities, I'm sure all of y'all have experienced all sorts of mistakes or scandals.

These guys (EXO) have had their scandals become such an issue that no non-fan or anti hasn't heard of them. Isn't that just impressive?

No matter what group it is, it's not like we're doing fan activities with lots of spare money and spare time. In our busy daily lives, we find tiny gaps of time to check their rankings just one more time, we check our phones wondering if anything's going on with them. If they're insulted then our hearts hurt, we write comments with an angry heart at baseless rumors, and we hold our phones quietly thinking about them. Whether it's streaming or downloading or whatever, Even now, EXO takes 1st place whenever they're on music shows, and in the middle of the great war on Melon even their b-side tracks are protecting their spots on the rankings Not only that, they've won Daesangs for 4 years in a row. And this year, they'll get their 5th consecutive Daesang Let's say hypothetically that that doesn't happen that they don't get an award this time then isn't that on its own kind of impressive? that somehow all of their scores and rankings during that time just disappeared and became dust? (t\n: I think what OP is trying to say is that it's impressive that they're such a threat that companies would think it's worth it to rig their scores) Besides that, has there ever been another group that has set this many records on all sorts of cable broadcast award ceremonies? If that's something that gets "that's not such an impressive record" as a response, then even though I'm biased towards my fave group, and to me they're always the best and their awards and achievements are something to be proud of, just how low of a rank do they think my group is? When I see posts asking for song requests and there's even just one or two comments saying my groups' songs are good, my heart feels like it's going to burst with happiness and pride and I want them to receive awards too It would great if our fandom became bigger and more passionate, and as a result our group's name could become more well-known and then after that our group could be able to do more active promotions and they could appear on lots of shows and did lots of concerts, I feel like I would be so happy from just that That's just how I feel, That's why I'm jealous But if these guys (EXO) don't receive a Daesang this year while everyone is watching, Then people will think "this is our chance" and insult them as if they're dying saying "you're just a retired group, leave, go die" But like EXO's fans will say, I think those words are nothing more than wishful thinking A while ago, my heart was really touched by a comment left by some EXO fan that they don't think about how long EXO can stay in their spot now, but instead when the time comes for EXO to move on, their goal is to make their descent painless, one step at a time, flowing gently downwards. When I saw that, I thought that no matter how much people say that fan activities is useless, people's genuine love for others can really be seen even by other people's eyes I just really empathized with them. If everyone just put down the blades we've raised against each other and you think about your own group, I think that that comment's something that any fandom could have thought of You have to be able to acknowledge impressive achievements. Even if you criticize them saying that those records aren't actually real, that they're inaccurate, in the end aren't those just anti comments bursting with insecurity about a group that has absolutely no relation to you? Even if it's just a little bit, that's what I think. If what antis were saying were true and EXO really was a talent-less ugly group that isn't anything special and is on their way to retiring, then there would be no reason for this many anti posts to go up, nor would there be any reason for me to write a post like this. Post Response [+779][-79]​ Top Comments: "To be honest, it seems like these guys are going to receive another Daesang this year, making it their 5th consecutive Daesang ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Now that I think about it, when EXO's Growl became a hit I was in my early years, but since then I've entered my middle years. 5 years is definitely not a short time at all. Protecting their spot at the top for 5 years and receiving the top award every year is easier said than done. Until now, seeing that EXO is the first group to achieve 4 consecutive Daesangs, is it that hard to wake up to reality? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ These people who are ignoring EXO, who do they stan so that they act like this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Please continue doing what you've been doing until now for a long long time" [+256][-8] "I also have similar thoughts. Of course, to me my bias group is amazing and their songs are really good. But every time they make a comeback I get nervous thinking they might get kicked out of the charts, and when I see their YouTube views I get uselessly irritated ㅎㅎ But when I see something like EXO getting within 1 day the largest amount of views my boys have ever gotten, I don't want to insult them like the kids leaving anti posts, I just feel jealous. And their fans are really amazing. Just like OP said, if you criticize EXO then just how low do you think my bias group is? If I insult them, it's not like my bias group will climb up to EXO's spot? And if someone else fills that spot, do I not insult that group too? It's just the wrong attitude to have. To be honest if they've held their spot at the top for such a long time then they deserve recognition, when I see someone trying to push them off their spot as if there was no one there I just feel pity for them." [+251][-5] "Seriously ㅋㅋㅋㅋ just because they say that it's inaccurate, that doesn't make EXO's records and their momentum now disappear ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ" [+221][-6] "Telling a group that is in their 6th year debut and received 19 Daesangs to create more new history, are they talking about the generation shift between them and their juniors? I think that EXO is at the top right now, but even if EXO falls from that spot right away tomorrow I think that EXO has already drawn a huge stroke in the history of Korean pop music" [+92][-0] "it's a fact that they've set records and are setting records right now, but antis are going around saying that they're declining. Right now among the posts in 'Talker's Choice', 80% of the comments are saying that EXO's golden era has passed ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Whatever they say, the fact is that EXO is still going strong" [+74][-0]

[NAVER] The "KoKoBop Challenge" that is Suddenly Trending Overseas

[NAVER] The "KoKoBop Challenge" that is Suddenly Trending Overseas

Currently, a fun challenge following the choreography of group EXO's "KoKoBop" is trending among netizens overseas. Its name is the "KoKoBop Challenge", following the special point choreography of EXO's "KoKoBop", which was released on the 19th last month. On August 7th, an MC on a popular Filipino music program featured the "KoKoBop Challenge" on broadcast, rapidly increasing interest in the challenge on Twitter and other social media. i seriously dont know what to feel... @vicegandako did THAT in a national TV. #KoKoBopChallenge pic.twitter.com/Wy8OjEUV1C — eaia (@forevesus) 2017년 8월 7일​ The task of the "KoKoBop Challenge" is simple. When the "Down down baby" section of EXO's song "KoKoBop" is played, the person has to copy the choreography for that part: holding your two arms straight in front of you and bouncing your body up and down. Since the music section is short and the dance move is simple, most netizens do the dance multiple times, edit them together into a single video and upload it.
