EXO has been delighting avid fans all over the world with their music and powerful performances on stage. Recently, EXO's Baekhyun shared his thoughts about some of the negative feedback that the Kpop band received from critics.

Despite EXO's popularity, the Kpop group also became the target of critics who would highlight what they found unsatisfactory about the band's performances.

The Kpop idol made the revelation at a special fan meeting held to commemorate his birthday. During the event, EXO's Baekhyun candidly stated that he reads all the comments that fans would post online regardless if it is positive or negative.

EXO's Baekhyun also mentioned how he encouraged other EXO members to do the same and check all the online comments left by fans. The Kpop idol even commended the critics for highlighting items that they were unhappy with and even shared how he never felt slighted or offended by the criticisms.

The said EXO band member explained, "I don't get hurt at those things. I would rather be told [EXO's] 'Baekhyun was good but there just one thing that seemed lacking' because it could really help me improve."
