Netizens reacted to the super group’s absence, with many stating they understood why EXO didn’t participate.
“To be honest, did you think they’d participate when all the members are making a ruckus and leaving?” “I think they didn’t participate because it was near the time their contract ends.” “Aren’t there members who renewed? Can’t they take a photo with those members?” “To be honest, I think SM did all they could to renew their contracts, lol. ㅠ.” “EXO f@cking never cared for the Season’s Greetings and would always rely on their good looks anyway. I’d get upset buying their greetings ,so it actually turned out for the better.” “I understand since their contract (negotiations) have been such a mess.” “So this is how EXO ends…” “Isn’t it because they haven’t renewed yet? It seems complicated.” “It’s understandable due to the contract (situation).” “This is so understandable since their contract situation is so complicated.”
