Popular Show Excludes EXO Member Causing Significant Backlash
EXO is facing controversy after Coupang Play’s teaser for their appearance on Sister’s Cafe sparked fan backlash.
The controversy began when Coupang Play posted a teaser video showing six EXO members, but the thumbnail did not include Chanyeol.
The show announced EXO’s appearance on Twitter:
엘레강스한 EXO랑
다방에서 크림소다 한 잔 어때요?쿠팡플레이 예능
매주 토요일 저녁 8시
오직 쿠플에서 만나요!
#쿠팡플레이 #CoupangPlay #자매다방#이수지 #정이랑 #엑소 #EXO
Fans blew up with complaints about the missing member.
Soon after, Coupang Play quickly updated the thumbnail to include Chanyeol — but not before fans were suspicious about the initial omission.
Some fans believe the exclusion was intentional since the show knew only six members would appear.
Public netizen responses showed mixed opinions:
“From a fan’s perspective, you could be mad, but from a woman’s perspective, they have the right to dislike him.”
“But even after they fixed it due to fans’ complaints, they made Chanyeol’s head too big, so they had to edit it again LOL.”
“They could dislike him, considering his past…”
“It’s hilarious how nobody sees him in a good light…”
“But is it really possible to edit him out in the teaser and thumbnail even if the editor dislikes him?”
“If they are someone who made a huge social issue, then they try not to show them as much on broadcast.”
The situation remains a hot topic among fans and netizens as Coupang Play’s show Sister’s Cafe premieres with EXO soon.
