EXO-L angered at \'Fantastic Duo\' for treating EXO as nothing more than a \'viewership rating shuttle\'

SBS\'s \'Fanstastic Duo\' has been receiving heavy backlash from EXO-L for EXO\'s appearance.

Jun Hyun Moo commented, "The competition for this episode was the most fierce. To become a duo with EXO, we have over 4000 applicants, even leading to a server crash." 

After viewing numerous clips of the various applicants who sent in their singing clips for EXO, the top 3 contestants appeared in front of the group to compete for the final spot as EXO\'s duet partners. However, many viewers noted that the 3 contestants deviated from the show\'s original format; originally, contestants cover songs of the guest artists in the final round to become duet partners with the artists they love. 

In this episode, the top 3 contestants covered a variety of covers including "

Pick Me", EXID\'s "Up & Down", MAMAMOO\'s "You\'re the Best", and more, but no EXO. 

To this, discontent viewers commented, "There are so many EXO songs they could\'ve covered, why did they cover all these other artists", "They promoted EXO\'s episode, but it was all just bait", "This doesn\'t go with the original format of the show", "EXO look uncomfortable", and more. 

One fan even accused \'Fantastic Duo\' of "setting out to use EXO as their viewership rating shuttle", speaking on behalf of many angered EXO-L. 

The most recent episode of \'Fantastic Duo\' marks the first time where final round contestants covered songs that were not by the guest artists. Do you think the show owes EXO an apology, or are EXO-L being too much? 

well, I watched the ep and I was wondering too, why they didnt sing an exo sing in the beginning.

some group are thankful enough just to get 1 minute airtime.

That\'s not true, at first they sang other songs then they sang Growl, then exo picked one and sang love me right, actually they got more screen time like this, more than taeyang, I think thr fans can\'t except that they lost, and they lost not bcoz they weren\'t good they lost bcoz it was more performing than singing, which isn\'t the style of the show

I don\'t know if the lot of you watched the episode or not, but in the episode the contestants for EXO got to sing since twice for the final round before EXO choose. Just like it was listed, they sang other songs during the first time, the second time they sang Growl, which Allkpop failed to mention. Which means the contestants for EXO got to sing twice while all the other contestants for other artist only got to sing one time. So i don\'t understand why EXO-L are complaining when EXO was clearly in favor for this episode.

Exactly! There is nothing to complain about really they are just sad coz they lost easily

I don\'t know if you have seen the previous episode or not since EXO didn\'t appear much but every contestant sang two songs and both songs they sang where from the artist they where competing for. I really think that they didn\'t treat EXO really well and that they just used them to promote the show, Also what irritated fans was that the person they chose to sing with them probably wasn\'t even an EXO-L because she didn\'t even know Chen\'s name. that is my opinion and i watched both episodes.

Yeah but that\'s not the format of the show, to sing 2 songs, coz that never happened with taeyang when he came, maybe they just did that for that episode only

Yes it didn\'t happen with Taeyang but that is because they changed it later. But if you see the other contestants in the two episodes that EXO appeared they also sang two songs both of them being from the same artist.

But i clearly said that the contestant for EXO sang two songs of EXO though. Growl and Love Me Right, plus they got to sing other songs from other singers as well. That is more than any other contestants that has been on the show. So i don\'t see why you guys have the right to complain for EXO when EXO was in favor.

But that is the problem because counting the last performance after the artists had chosen the fans had sang 3 songs and from EXO only two since Love me Right is the song they competed with at the end.. the problem of all EXO-L was that at the "audition" of the three fans they didn\'t sing songs from them and rather chose some random KPop songs.

Oh wow. You guys are some spoiled brats aren\'t you. All the other contestants from other artist had two songs while EXO fans had three. And you guys wanna complain about that the fans didn\'t sing an EXO song? Please, they sang Growl&LoveMeRight which is the right amount of songs the other contestants got to, and you got one more. You guys have no right to complain at all

obviously fantastic duo have to apologize 😡 how the hell is exo-l "being too much" when exo was only used to get high ratings?! I\'m gonna stop here before I go in a speech rage whatever 😡😡😡

Even though I\'m no EXO-L, but I\'m agreed with them

Did u even watch the episode? Tell me in what way were exo mistreated? Coz I watched it and it was actually the opposite

This is why shows dont like asking really popular idols on shows, i remember when taeyang went there and he looked awkward aswell and first episode was jus about the other 2 contestants but no vips complained.

It says "The most recent episode of \'Fantastic Duo\' marks the first time where final round contestants covered songs that were not by the guest artists." you idiot. It clearly wasn\'t the same thing as with Taeyong then so what would the fans have even complained about?

What the hell?! Am a fan but did u want the whole episode to be centered on his face? Y shud he be treated better than the sunbaes? Actually taeyang had so much attention so much praise in that episode he did well so well with his duo, they made him sing and dance fantastic baby, he was basically treated like a king, what\'s there to complain about???

Figures. There is nothing new about this. It\'s an easy way to make their program popular. Tsk, this is the most normal things I ever read.

SBS being the fucktars they always was. EXO deserves better than this
