Baekhyun’s Recent “Angry” Performance Linked to EXO Dispute
Baekhyun is facing controversy amid his ongoing conflict with SM Entertainment over EXO-CBX’s group activities.
The drama started heating up during Baekhyun’s Reverie world tour finale in Singapore. Fans noticed his intense energy and anger on stage, especially during the soundcheck performance of “Paranoia.”
“Paranoia” is from his collab with League of Legends, with lyrics about fame, jealousy, and surviving the spotlight. Fans quickly connected the song’s theme to Baekhyun’s struggle with SM and CBX’s current legal battle.
Clips of the “Paranoia” soundcheck went viral. Fans were struck by Baekhyun’s powerful, emotional delivery—especially when he sang:
“they’re praying for the death of a rockstar.”
