This netizen wrote, “EXO D.O.‘s fan meeting at Jamsil Arena has 5,000 seats, but barely manages to fill 3,000. It seems like all of D.O.’s fans have left. Honestly, if I were a fan of a male idol with so much fan hate, I wouldn’t be able to stay till the end either. It’s probably karma. It’s not BTS’s karma, but EXO’s. Jungkook, Jimin and V are doing well, though. Tickets are also quite expensive, with regular concert tickets costing 140,000 won, while D.O.’s fan meeting tickets are priced at 130,000 won. It’s as if he’s become greedy for money. On top of that, he’ll soon be selling dolls too. Ever since leaving SM, it seems he’s become all about the money. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone extend a fan meeting for three days. It feels like he’s failing by prioritizing money over fans.”
This post became a hot topic with nearly 215,000 views as of the afternoon of Sep 10th. Below are some comments from Korean netizens.
– When I think of D.O., I can only remember the rabbit hat incident. At EXO’s fan sign… What’s so hard about putting on a rabbit hat? Why couldn’t he just wear it?
– D.O.’s current situation is just karma for how he treated fans poorly during his EXO days.
– The reason D.O.’s fans are going crazy right now: no new content, no communication, and an empty fan meeting after he shaved his head.
– Just look at the fan meeting. Who would want to go?
– Honestly, whoever organized this fan meeting really messed up. Why hold it for three days? If you’re going to charge so much (130,000 won), at least make it cheaper. Who would want to pay that much for a fan con that is a complete bore?
