It's no surprise when it comes to the Kings of K-POP EXO that their albums are either out of stock, low on stock or being sold in only one version despite having more. What has EXO-L concerned is that potentially many fans might not be able to get their hands on the album or version that they want because SM is not providing enough albums to stores.
When it comes to EXO's latest album "Obsession" it has problems not being in stock ever since it was released. Many fans say that despite them pre-ordering the album their order was still canceled because the item was out of stock when the time for the shipping came. Some shared that when they reached out to the stores, the explanation was that SM entertainment did not provide enough albums. Many found that frustrating since the whole point of pre-ordering is to be sure you will receive the album. EXO-L shared that despite stores saying that they will receive different versions when ordering more than one album they received multiple albums of the same version. The X-EXO version of the album is so high in demand that it's not even an option anymore. Some sites say they only have the EXO version and Obsession version, which also sells out quite often. Other albums like "Don't mess up my tempo" and repackaging "Love shot" have been sold out for weeks in big sites like Ktown4u, along with many other EXO group and solo albums.
EXO-SC's first full album "1 Billion Views" was released just three weeks ago but has already received lots of love both domestically and globally. The EXO unit became the first half a million-seller unit and duo by passing over 500K album sales by July 31st. Fans are happy for EXO-SC but still frustrated with the lack of promotion from SM entertainment. EXO member Chanyeol seems to feel the same way because he recently mentioned being tired of having only two schedules during an NNG studio video. The thing that has EXO-L worried is that the unit released a kihno version of their album one week ago, and fans noticed that it's already out of stock for some days now. Fans find it extremely unprofessional that the agency can't provide good promotion for all their artists and is sabotaging and neglecting some for the sake of others. EXO-L hope fans try to buy the EXO "Obsession" versions and EXO-SC "1 Billion views" album while they are still in stock since there is no guarantee that SM will restock August and September.
