EXO Suho Opens Up About Leadership Struggles

EXO Suho recently opened up about his deep concerns regarding leadership, admitting that he sometimes self-reflects on his approach compared to other K-pop groups. On the September 21 episode of the YouTube channel ‘Channel Vandal’, leaders from prominent South Korean idol groups gathered for a candid discussion titled ‘Would you be a leader if you debuted again?’. The episode featured SECHSKIES leader Eun Ji-won, EXO leader Suho, SEVENTEEN leader S.Coups, and BOYNEXTDOOR leader Myung Jae-hyun sharing their experiences.

S.Coups and Seventeen’s Remarkable Journey

During the conversation, S.Coups discussed the hard work of SEVENTEEN members, noting how the group has maintained its lineup without any member changes since their trainee days. SECHSKIES leader Eun Ji-won praised SEVENTEEN, remarking that keeping 13 members together for over a decade is an incredible achievement and proves their methods worked.

Suho’s Honest Reflection on EXO

Hearing this, Suho confessed, “Sometimes I have regrets. I wonder if I should have led EXO the way S.Coups does.” While EXO Suho expressed these self-doubts, media outlets and fans continue to look back at the group’s history. EXO originally debuted in April 2012 as a 12-member group featuring Xiumin, Luhan, Kris, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O., Tao, Kai, and Sehun, before shifting to a 9-member lineup following departures starting in 2014.
