They always use the fact that prior to SuperM, he was mostly just Kai of Exo without solo gigs as if Kyungsoo didn't also used to be the main vocalist/backup voice of Exo. Times change and only Dandans seem to notice that SM dropped the ball on Kyungsoo's career as soon as he got famous on his solo projects. They think Kyungsoo should've kissed up to the company like their fav.

(Seems like you quoted the wrong ask here anon but I see which one this was in answer to!)
i'll do you a better one: kyungsoo was not the first exo member to act. he was not even the first exo member to get a leading role in a drama: kai did that before him. he was also pushed onto taemin's album as early as 2014, and got consistent modelling gigs very early on.
again, there's this misconception that's actually very telling among exol and other member stans lol that activity = success. thus they've kind of erased the fact that ALL exo members got to branch out after 2016 with ZERO exception.... except kyungsoo who is the only member who saw a reduction of his field of activities after that point. literally the only ppl we could count on to see him was his movies' distributors 😟 and that's when his OWN roles were parasited by sm and exo members.
as for the other exo members they all acted minus chen, got musicals, subunits, modelling gigs, variety guestings and/or permanent positions, collabs, osts.
