Repacks are completely normal though. If you want to bring up BIGBANG, what about Still Alive?

What about it? It's a repack, like any other repack, and should be judged accordingly.
It's a sales strategy that works, and that is the only reason it happens - there's no sense in pretending otherwise.

!! like
I don't see how repacking is a cheap move.

And exo's main point when they debuted was to satisfy both chinese and korean fans
so obviously releasing a chinese and korean version of each of the releases is a must.

Repacks are normal, I'm not saying rereleases are bad but when you put the same album out twice which even though its in two different languages the fangirls in Korea will buy both because EXO is two teams and maybe their two favs are on separate teams and then rerelease the same album doing the same thing. I'm not discounting their talents or popularity, what I'm discounting is when you take 4 versions of the same thing and people buy all 4 of the same thing, its not the same as 4 different people. Thats real popularity.

to make as much money as physically possible for SM, right? To do this, somebody at their camp decided HEY. Let's split them up into Korean and Chinese sub-units, divide and conquer. Furthermore, let's repack their first album to extract as much profit as physically possible from their already-devoted fanbase which we have meticulously built through the carefully timed release of 11,000 teasers and the pervasiveness of Kim Jongin therein.

SM is an immaculate institution, but the downside is that everything they do is part of one big equation.

Not a good thing, not a bad thing. Just something to be acknowledged.

So you are or aren't discounting their popularity?

ANYWAYS
Yes, hardcore fangirls do buy multiple versions of the same albums over and over again but that can be applied to ANY group out there: from the million sellers EXO to some random nugu group performing in a ditch

At the end of the day, there is no way of telling exactly how big one's fandom is and the best way to have a rough estimate is by looking at the sales

This is every idol group main point.
It's obvious and pointless for you to bring it up.

Doesn't change the fact that they were made to focus on two main markets (does that word makes it better for you to understand than fans?) (and obviously to make money)

Every group has a main market and a demographic they must satisfy if not they cannot make money.

We're literally saying the exact same thing, why are you coming for me?


You just agreed with me that it's a marketing ploy! So, that withstanding, when people laud them with having broken the sales record, it has to be acknowledged that they have 4 separate products circulating under one name. It's significantly less impressive than it would be if there were only one version of the album.

But regardless I love Exo, and I'm really happy for them.

The retro instrumental, the visuals, the chorus

The words across the screen in the Dal Shabet MV look so tacky
