new exols have no idea how heartbreaking but also hilarious tao leaving was. the teasers for call me baby had each member in a city and each cityâs first letter spelt out call me baby and then each member wore a tshirt with one of the letters on it for their live stages and then TAO LEFT and sm had to make new tshirts so that the middle person wore one that said âmeâ so they could still spell âcall me babyâ ill find pictures and THEN love me right came out and lay had just so many lines and screen time and it felt like a massive fuck you to lawsuit line but also they couldnât risk another lawsuit so they started treating lay like a human being and sehun actually got a rap part for once and suddenly sehun and chanyeol were the rap line which didnât make any sense for how the group had been functioning before hand but what else where they supposed to do? and so iâm pretty sure tao leaving kickstarted the path that led to the SC subunit
also the choreo for things like playboy were quite clearly paired and so you had performances where lay or someone was just dancing the mirrored choreo alone
also tao released a song called T.A.O in which, just before the chorus he mimics the sehun E-X-O part and went âiâm T-A-Oâ and there were lines in the song like âone love? where is it?â and everyone thought it was a dig at exo and then he did an interview and cried for five minutes straight about the fact that kris didnât talk to him anymore
meanwhile, baekhyun was on radio shows being like âyeah so when we were twelve members-oh shit i mean uhhhhhhâ because none of them were allowed to talk about it
also people who ordered snsd and suju albums kept getting tao photocards with their orders because of a mixup which was genuinely one of the funniest sm mishaps to ever happen
