i just hope people won’t compare svt and exo as groups. every group has their own hardships, and we’ll never truly know what happens behind closed doors or what each member has had to go through. but i’m really glad that the show is such an eye-opener, not only for the leaders but for the fandoms as well. being a leader isn’t just about guiding a group or being the person who speaks on behalf of everyone. it also means carrying responsibilities, making difficult decisions, looking after the members, and sometimes having to stay strong even when you’re struggling yourself. they may share the same title, but that doesn’t mean they’ve had the same experiences. every leader has faced different situations, dealt with different responsibilities, and found their own way of taking care of their group. i hope people can appreciate their journeys without comparing who suffered more or whose group had it harder. we can recognize what svt and exo have been through without making it a competition. both groups have gone through different experiences, and both deserve the same respect and understanding. what i love about the show is that it reminds us that leaders are people, too. they’re not just the ones who have to protect the group, reassure the members, and keep everyone together. they also have their own worries, fears, and moments when they need support. seeing them share their experiences makes me appreciate them even more, how much they’ve endured and how much they continue to do for their groups. i just hope this show won’t make other fandoms feel like their groups are being compared or that their experiences are being invalidated. i don’t think that’s the point of the show at all. we can appreciate svt, exo, and every other group’s journey without taking anything away from one another. every group has its own story, and every leader deserves to have their struggles acknowledged and respected.
