[Instiz] Controversy over EXO's Tokyo Dome tour

Instiz: SM looks to be in a rush

Yunho said at TVXQ's last Japanese tour concert there won't be anymore TVXQ tours for the time being with his upcoming enlistment. A financial analyst said that TVXQ bring in the most income in SM (one tour roughly brings in $100 million USD). Without TVXQ, SM loses out on $100 million in income a year. Because they need a group to fill in for the missing money, they're shipping EXO off to Japan and debuting Rookiez in Korea.

Now other fandoms are angry that EXO is getting a "free ride" into the Tokyo Dome without even a Japanese song.

Instiz: Idol group getting hate regarding their entrance into the Tokyo Dome

"Tokyo Dome... do they even know what it stands for.."

"You can think all you want that it's just the senior fandoms acting all cocky but the Tokyo Dome your group is going to be performing in does not hold the same class as the Tokyo Dome that Soshi, TVXQ, and SuJu performed in."

"Do people really think that EXO will feel the same things that SHINee or TVXQ felt finally getting to stand on that stage after working from the bottom up in Japan and going through all sorts of suffering to get there? It's funny how some fans seem to think that EXO even knows a fraction of those feelings."

"Yeah, yeah, sure, your kids worked hard in Korea and China to become singers but what exactly did they work hard in Japan for to deserve standing on the Tokyo Dome?"

"Other artists had to take one step at a time to finally get to stand on that stage of dreams. It's a Tokyo Dome that means so much more to fans... of course others will be uncomfortable with a group that has no such story on their climb to the Tokyo Dome."

"SM is clearly nervous now, you can tell they're trying to get as much money out of them as possible before they get into more scandals or something ㅠ There's a step and order to everything but SM is in such a rush that they skipped everything... Do they even have the skills for the Tokyo Dome? Or will they lip sync there too ㅜ..."

"Doesn't EXO not even have one Japanese song?"

"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're crazy, they haven't even made a Japanese advancement yet and they're already entering the Tokyo Dome? ㅋㅋㅋ"

Instiz comments:

"SM really needs to do something about it. This isn't an issue that has only 100 comments but it's reached a point where there are over 1,000 comments about it and they need to give us an explanation. It's been getting spread left and right and it's only the artists who are getting hurt in the end."

"Aren't they doing it because of popularity? They're popular in Japan, aren't they? I don't understand why they have to get hate for it when they even have a Japanese fanclub and did a fan meet there too."

"Ah... it hurts.. I know that EXO got in a lot easier than anyone else but it's not like that got in there because they wanted to... it's not like they begged SM for it. It's upsetting to think that another fandom war will happen as a result."

"Well, getting into the Tokyo Dome is so... difficult... I guess EXO fans should just be happy that they got in."

"I understand both sides... since it's not EXO's fault at all ㅠㅠ"

"Can SM please just say something.."
