Kai took to Instagram Live to show off his newly dyed hair and to spend some time chatting with his fans before bed. “To be honest, I’m really sleepy,” he confessed with a yawn, but he explained that he had been determined to share his excitement about his black hair with his fans right away.
A few minutes into the broadcast, however, Kai’s expression turned grim as he revealed that there was someone waiting outside EXO’s residence. “Also, this is unrelated,” he said, “but it seems like there are sasaengs outside the dorm.”
Kai then addressed the sasaengs directly, warning, “I’ll call the police. Leave quickly.”

During one of the few times that the EXO members got a vacation, Xiumin decided to go on a vacation with his family to Vietnam. This trip was soon ruined when sasaeng fans started following him wherever he went.

The 5 Most Ridiculous Things Netizens Criticized EXO Members
Although it may be unbelievable, it has been ten years since EXO debuted.
Throughout their careers, many members have been criticized by netizens for some strange reasons. Here are some of the most absurd things that netizens criticized EXO members.
1. Baekhyun’s “rude” behavior
Baekhyun was once criticized when he was arrested. He used his mouth to accept air tickets from airport staff, which was regarded as rude by many netizens.

When Chen announced his marriage in 2020, some Korean “fans” and netizens were not satisfied. They criticized Chen's decision and even tried to get him kicked by EXO.
