Reported Modifications to EXO Tracks to Remove CBX Sparks Strong Backlash

EXO-CBX is facing controversy over SM Entertainment’s announcement that the trio won’t join EXO’s upcoming album or December fan meetings.

SM confirmed the three members—Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin—won’t participate. Fans reacted with disappointment as the group won’t perform as nine anytime soon.

There’s now trouble redistributing parts for EXO’s song “Monster.” A leaked cue sheet shows lines meant for nine members are shifted to six, sparking backlash.

Fans say the CBX members are irreplaceable and doubt the remaining members can fill their parts well, calling the changes a mess.

Twitter is exploding with frustration:

“we’re witnessing the group’s most famous song ( which was carried by baekhyun ) getting ruined by the non singers this is about to be shit from the ass ijbol”

“They are erasing them…..”

The controversy began after SM’s push excluded CBX members from promos and shows.

Soon after, EXO member Sehun’s recent “chaotic” post caught attention for supposedly relating to the CBX drama.

EXO fans remain divided and worried about the group’s future without the full lineup intact. The CBX and SM Entertainment fallout marks a major shake-up for the iconic group’s comeback plans.
