2) EXO is just as manufactured. It's transparent. They and SM don't try to hide it in the slightest. Welcome to the industry.

1. Says the person who's also behind his computer, or taking photos of himself in women's clothing and posting it on his instagram. You do what you want with your life and I do as well. I'm majoring in psychology and aiming for my PhD. If I wanted to do something else like enter the idol industry where I have to train for years and suck off old men just to début faster, I would.
2. I know EXO is a manufactured teen idol group. I've never denied that.

He spent almost 10 years as an underground rapper before B.A.P. as part of Soul Connection, Inc., which is an Indie hip-hop label that became more prominent as some of its members went on to debut as idols or otherwise. I'm fuzzy on the details but Google it if you'd like. Anyway, I suggest you clamp down on that foot you've been gracious enough to shove halfway down your throat until anyone from the group you hold in such esteem reaches a similar level of accomplishment.

I don't see Bap as EXO's rivals. For that to happen, they would need to be a threat, and I think most people can agree that they aren't. The disparity of sales & popularity between Bap and EXO is so different that they're not not the same tier for Bap to even begin to reach for EXO's edges. I simply saw the words to Badman, thought too many of the lyrics were in reference to EXO, and expressed myself. That's it. I have nothing against Bap otherwise.
Umm, ok. Yungook composes and writes lyrics but Lay has been composing and writing music since he was a child and Chanyeol writes music with his guitar and comes up with bars all the time. The difference is the 'artistic' people in Exo aren't allowed to showcase their showmanship while Bap's company lets their work be featured on their records. (This only happened once with Kai — he came up with the routines for the teasers he was in, so what you're seeing is his own choreography.)
