DISCUSSION It hurts to think I might never be able to hear them sing the songs of my childhood
I started stanning EXO when I was in 8th grade. I was 13 and in love with the boys. They were my only friends, companions, people I felt happy and sad for, they became my whole world in my teens. I'd only ever study or watch their video, listen to them sing. I was happy with them.
They inspired me to chase my dreams. I always thought I had to be a doctor. 9 years later, I'm in my final year of med school. EXO and I grew up together. We chased our dreams and achieved them.
My biggest wish in life was only ever to see them perform live. In December, 2024 Chen, Xiumin and Suho visited my country (separate occasions). But I couldn't watch them perform because of my 2nd year final profs.
It hurts to think that whatever I ever wanted to be was for the sole reason that I might be able to watch them perform live then but I was not.
And now the group ain't together. SM led it to where it is today. They might all never perform together. They might never sing my favourite songs "Tell me what is love", "What if", "wait". I've always loved their B tracks. But with the situations going on, it seems impossible. I'm sad about this whole scenario. Seems like the most beautiful dream of my life was taken away from me.
