It's a complete, standalone song with the f(x) label on it. It's meant to be consumed like any other f(x) song.
And yeah, everyone should know by now that the SM Station songs are reject tracks that the company thought weren't strong enough for a full promotion cycle. But they still throw these poor-quality tracks out there anyways, which means it's totally fair game to scrutinize them. I don't see what's the problem? I shouldn't expect high quality from SM?
Errr okay so if this was just a f(Luna+Amber) song it would get less criticism BUT because it's the full group it's okay to treat it as an f(x) stand alone single? It's the equivalent as a Western artist releasing a buzz or "song for the fans" on itunes/spotify. It's a bone to the fans, nothing more.
You said it yourself that Station songs are mostly rejects. Yes it's okay to criticize them, but ya'll dramatics are taking it to a whole other level trying to come at it by comparing it to their BUDGETED minis and albums. Like please it's so transparent. Ya'll are just using it as a free pass to hate on LDN noise.
He left in the midst of overdose comeback, which kinda throws everything off and he was the exo m leader at that time. There's also the part where suho was alone to accept award on music show the day he left which makes the spite intensify. Plus he also almost left in early 2013 iirc.
Luhan waited until exo finished their concert tour and he left due to health reasons, I think he was sick at that time. Plus he maintained good relationship with some exo member too.
Edit : Kris's departure was also literally a week before exo's first solo concert starts. So they need to rerehearse.

what Smilers said + idk if you remember how Zayn was during his last days w/ 1D but that's exactly how he was. He was distant in interviews and acted like he was over it all and above answering questions. I was told that the way he left was very diva-ish. They were all supposed to fly somewhere (I forgot the exact place) and he just didn't show up. SM got hit with a lawsuit out of the blue right after.
EDIT: actually, it's worse. he just up and disappeared out of nowhere in the night and EXO didn't know and members found out on the news.
ugh, that was dick-ish of him... I like(d?) him.
Luhan's reason was way more valid than Kris's, but at least he respected the members enough to not leave them to pick up his slack.
Giving me Geri Halliwell in the Spice Girls teas, by just not showing up to work one day and then never coming back.
jk this sucks and is the worst f(x) single since Chu. I'd rather SM just not delay the inevitable and disband them rather than watch them languish away like this after their run of EPs and LPs from 2010-2014
Hurt Locker was a step towards a more accessible and general style that most nugu groups are known for to get recognized! That song was no different! I absolutely love the song, hands down, but anyone outside the fandom or even outside the K-Pop fandom will tell you that other singers groups have done a similar song or even a similar style better! It got them some more recognition, just like they wanted…

Full group f(x) tracks do decently due to the Krystal fans and lowkey the Chinese Victoria fans. Let's not.
Shade. Truth. Whatever you wanna call it. I just know it's the loudest track they've done since "Wild" & "Action"…

The song is called Lip 2 Lip if you can't make it out.
Is that really Hyemi with the red hair!?
I'm kinda dying at Keumjo getting Taeyeon's pink pig buns though…
I feel like Kyungri has the glasses on for a reason… contacts!?
And Damn Sojin, back at it again with the black hair!
EDIT: WAIT!? Are they called "9MUSES A" or are they called "AMUSE" like it says on top!? Because I am HERE for "AMUSE"!
Must be tough working under SM for her.
