“There are many articles comparing BIGBANG and EXO. There is actually nothing to compare between the two groups. First off, the two group’s directions are different. Their dispositions are also different. Their music color and what they are pursuing are also completely different. The only thing they have in common is that they are boy groups. BIGBANG is a group that has many public-friendly elements. First, their songs are [public-friendly]. On the other hand, EXO has the biggest fandom in Korea. Although BIGBANG and EXO are the representative groups of YG and SM [respectively], you could see it as the difference in color between each agency. The two groups just need to continue moving forward from their respective positions. I don’t think there needs to be any more comparison or competition [between the two groups].”
