They were harshly criticized.
EXO Baekhyun‘s fansite has gone viral with a single tweet. On June 10, 2024, what could possibly be their goodbye tweet went viral, with over 1.3 million views in just a few hours. The tweet lamented and berated the star’s recent feud with SM Entertainment through his company, INB100.
정말 팬들이 소중하다면 두번다신 비슷한 일
안만들어야되는거 아니에요?그동안 감사했습니다

If you really treasured fans, shouldn’t you not let similar things happen twice? Thank your for [everything] up to now.

BGROUND laments how EXO-CBX, and thus Baekhyun, had once again allegedly failed to protect EXO’s name. On the other hand, other EXO-L have criticized the fansite for betraying Baekyun. During his recent fanmeeting, which BGOUND also attended, Baekhyun had seemingly pre-empted fans by talking about why he started INB100.
the audacity to act like a TWO-FACED BITCH and post something like this when you went to his concert and heard everything he said earlier…… https://t.co/4o0jMWvDD1 pic.twitter.com/RAMVp35D1F

It seems that the fansite got frustrated as EXO-CBX has re-entered a feud with SM Entertainment. In 2023, EXO-CBX sued SM Entertainment, seeking to terminate their contracts with the company. It was later reported by SM Entertainment that they had been poached by MC Mong and his company. BPM Entertainment. Later on, the boys created their own company, INB100, and renewed their contracts with SM Entertainment, renegotiating some clauses.

The creation of INB100 appeased fans, as it appeared from the outside that the poaching accusations were false. However, it was only recently made known that MC Mong holds a stake in the company.
However, it was clearly confirmed today that INB100 is not operated independently by Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin. INB100 has already been incorporated as a subsidiary of MC Mong and Cha Ga Won’s agency. We already had suspicions of this, but today’s press conference confirmed that there indeed was tampering by the company towards the three. When we signed our agreement with Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin last year, we tried to protect the group by stating there was not much of an issue regarding potential tampering between the three, MC Mong, and Cha Ga Won. But after today’s press conference, we can’t help but feel terrible. We hope our true feelings for EXO are no longer distorted.
