EXO's Suho Reflects on Leadership After Seeing SEVENTEEN's S.Coups

The K-pop community is buzzing about a recent discussion where EXO leader Suho openly reflected on his leadership style, drawing comparisons to SEVENTEEN's S.Coups. This candid conversation, which took place on the YouTube channel 'Channel Bandal', has sparked widespread interest due to Suho's honest introspection about team longevity and member retention.

On September 21st, a video featuring veteran idol leaders Eun Ji-won (Sechs Kies), Suho (EXO), S.Coups (SEVENTEEN), and Myung Jae-hyun (BOYNEXTDOOR) was released. During the discussion, Suho expressed regret, stating, "I sometimes regret things. I wonder if I should have done it like S.Coups," after hearing about SEVENTEEN's 13 members remaining together for over 10 years and completing a second contract renewal in July. This contrasted with EXO's history of member departures, evolving from a 12-member group to its current 6-member lineup.

Local bloggers highlighted that Suho's remarks were not about blaming anyone but rather a sincere reflection on his past leadership, prompted by witnessing another group's successful long-term cohesion. Eun Ji-won offered encouragement, emphasizing that every leader has their unique approach, and there is no single correct answer to leadership, as each group's situation and member count differ.
