Muitos ficaram indignados depois que as aparições de Suho e Chanyeol do EXO em um festival foram canceladas no último minuto.
No início deste ano, o Festival Aria foi anunciado para acontecer na Grécia no dia 20 de junho. Dos muitos artistas anunciados para se apresentarem no festival, muitos participantes ficaram entusiasmados com a inclusão de Chanyeol e Suho do EXO no line-up.
Porém, no dia 12 de junho, apenas oito dias antes do festival, foi anunciado que os membros do EXO não compareceriam mais. O Aria Festival disse em comunicado que a dupla não compareceria devido a “ circunstâncias durante o processo de preparação ”.
Due to our circumstances during the preparation process from the festival, SUHO and CHANYEOL will unfortunately be unable to attend ARIA FEST 2024. In the light of current situation, we inform you that the performances of the aforementioned artists have been cancelled.

Naturalmente, muitos fãs suspeitaram do momento deste anúncio, com alguns ligando-o à disputa legal em curso entre a SM Entertainment e a EXO CBX .
you know how if you want to hurt someone you hurt the people they care about?
that’s what sm is doing. fck that company for mistreating their artists . also , to all the akgaes out there, this isnt cbx’s fault. This is 100% SM being 🗑️ https://t.co/X1hPPIu120

Not them being vague about “current situation”, they know damn well what they were doing. https://t.co/JFYHX9DEc5

crazy S/M will do everything to ruin them even if the members are still under their company and it affects their own the most https://t.co/by9Mitle04

A culpa também foi dirigida ao Aria Festival, citando preços suspeitos e exorbitantes que deixaram muitos impedidos de comparecer.
theres a rise of poorly organised companies who know nothing about kpop that are making kpop festivals across europe and then trying to charge extortionate prices for tickets!! atp i think this is just one big money laundering scam. (these are the prices for aria fest in greece) pic.twitter.com/gfcD2aCl2H

Aparentemente validando esses temores, os fãs pediram ao festival que alterasse o anúncio depois de ter sido postado inicialmente. Nas declarações originais feitas no X e no Instagram, o festival mencionava que iria processar reembolsos de quem não quisesse mais comparecer.
Cerca de uma hora depois, o novo comunicado simplesmente prometia fazer a escalação valer a pena para aqueles que estão decepcionados com o cancelamento.
Os fãs exigiram respostas e estão irritados com as mudanças de última hora.
Aria fest removing the refund part really proves that they can’t afford suho chanyeol due to the low selling of their extremely overpriced tickets but still want to keep the show going, they’re basically scamming exols and using their money to keep the show going

I expect this tbh, at this point just cancel the whole thing and give refunds. This organisation has been a joke since the beginning https://t.co/AJMIumWFwu
