Int fans depend heavily on Kfans & Cfans; they only work hard for EXO if one of them comes through with results.
Eg., What A Life. Cfans didn& #39;t buy albums & kfans didn& #39;t stream. What did int fans do? Give up on the album & blame those 2. We could& #39;ve done more for WAL. We didn& #39;t.

City Lights was released a few weeks before WAL. As Bbh bar came through with the results, the fandom was HYPED. Went all out.
I noticed this pattern in votings too. If EXO leads in the beginning of the vote, EXO-L will vote or else they won& #39;t even try. They give reasons.

Coming to reasons.
We need to talk about Chanyeol.
We always have reasons for the underwhelming* performance in his projects.
For SSFW, it was because kfans don& #39;t give a damn about stations and there was a girl in the song. Okay, that& #39;s on Kfans. Why don& #39;t Ifan& #39;s stream?

*Underwhelming— my choice of word might offensive. Let me explain why I said underwhelming.
He is extremely talented. Also for the man who tattooed his fans bday on his body, who endlessly extends his support to the members, who interacts w/ fans the most, What we give him is

For WAL, we said there are girls in the mv so kfans didn& #39;t stream, for album sales we said osh & pcy bar are feuding. But what did we do? iTunes was in our hand. If EXO can get 60+ #1 why can& #39;t SC? iTunes is cheap & easy. YouTube & Spotify are user friendly. What did we do?
For NNG, kfans didn& #39;t subscribe cuz of their idiotic reasons & I don& #39;t know why int EXO-L don& #39;t. I don& #39;t even understand for a fandom which is hungry for content & would leave the og group to support SM& #39;s cash grab project, anyone would think NNG would make people stay, gues not
The only recurring pattern in all of these situations is that int fans expect kfans & cfans to do their job, if former they do, EXO-L will take on the hyping part else they blame kfans,cfans and do nothing but let the project go down.
Either we should change or stop complaining

PS. Yes, we buy albums and actually spend more for shipping and customs. But we expect cfans to buy more. We expect kfans to stream on Melon (most of us stream on Melon too, that& #39;s another issue for another day) when we don& #39;t use the free services we have— Yt and Spotify.
PPS. This is more generalized opinion. Those of us who stream, we keep streaming all the time. Those of us who vote, we vote all the time. Moreover, isn& #39;t it obvious at this point that there are very few people who stream at this point https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Slightly smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Slightly smiling face"> THIS IS A GENERALIZED OPINION.
PPPS. If y& #39;all think this thread is in anyway defending cfans/kfans, then may god help you.
This thread was my opinion on one of the many things we do wrong. My intention is to say that expect NOTHING from cfans and kfans and start acting as if EXO only has us.

The wording may be sort off because I typed it immediately after waking up but I hope my intention was clear.
In an ideal situation, all fans regardless of nationality must work together. Unfortunately in the recent years, solo stans are dominating which creates an imbalance.

To combat that, we must expect the least from cfans/kfans and work to fill in the gaps. Instead of fighting one another, we can work on a few details.
Finally, this is my opinion/observation of the behaviour of majority.
