EXO fans expressed their frustration about the news of Kai's departure for military service which was too sudden for the agency. Quoting from Koreaboo on Thursday May 4, 2023, SM Entertainment succeeded in surprising EXO fans with the news of member Kai's planned military departure on May 11, 2023.
In the midst of preparations for EXO's full group comeback this year, which fans have been waiting for a long time, SM Entertainment actually made fans sad with the news of Kai's sudden military enlistment. According to SM Entertainment, Kai's sudden departure for military service was due to a change in the rules of the military training service.
In response to this, fans of course felt frustrated with SM Entertainment's inability to plan EXO's comeback. Not a few fans also accused SM Entertainment's negligence in arranging their artists' schedules because they were too busy with internal problems that occurred some time ago. " I heard that the rule change happened in January.
EXO held a fanmeeting in April, and suddenly Kai had to leave for military service in May, before they even announced the details of EXO's comeback, SM was really messed up," said one fan. " Even though military regulations have suddenly changed, at least there is a grace period. I'm sure this is all due to bad agency planning.
They are too busy with internal drama, so they forget about their artists," added another fan . " I think it's not because of a change in military regulations, SM should have planned EXO's comeback earlier. They really frustrate me ," commented another fan.
" SM really isn't good at managing their artist schedules. They hid EXO for too long, and now when fans have been waiting for EXO's comeback for a long time, they destroyed it with this news ," said another fan. " I've never even seen news of a very sudden military departure like this ," said another fan.
Meanwhile, EXO's Kai will take part in basic military training on May 11, 2023, before carrying out his duties as a social worker. Respecting Kai's decision, SM Entertainment kept the location of the military training and departure time a secret. They also emphasized that there was no separate farewell ceremony for Kai's departure.
