to exols who think this is okay... don't you feel insulted? exo got nearly ZERO proper promotions and "massive marketing" but when two members are added with rookies they keep on pushing they go all out as if to say everyone deserves promo except exo #SuperGroupDisbandParty— ree (@hyunchanee_exo) August 7, 2019
“super group” my ass, can't sm understand that we don't want a new group ??? we want proper promotions for exo (with lay) + wayv x nct— ## jaq ; jaeyoon & mingi day ! (@twinkleskz) August 8, 2019
instead, they should treat their idols correctly and give fans what they actually want #SuperGroupDisbandParty

I'll ask again HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO UNDERSTAND THAT TAEMIN JONGIN AND BAEKHYUN ARE ESTABLISHED ARTISTS. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE DEBUTED IN A NEW SHIT ASS GROUP. THEY NEED SOLOS AND PROMOTIONS YOU FCKTARDS @SMTOWNGLOBAL #SuperGroupDisbandParty— Borderline Enthusiast #Whatalife (@stubbornrhino) August 7, 2019
Many fans are against the announcement because SM has allegedly been lax with their promotion activities of main boy group EXO and rookie group NCT. Fans are also angry that SM is using EXO's popularity to promote the lesser known rookies of NCT.“YoU wOn’T suPporT kaI aNd BaEk? YoU’re nOt a ReAl fAn.” Bish I’m going against this because I AM a real fan. I’ve supported every member of exo but when I see kaibaek being blatantly used and unfairness towards exo, I’m not throw them my $ #SuperGroupDisbandParty @SMTOWNGLOBAL— j.

What do you think of this issue? Are the fans justified in their anger?
