One user expressed their eagerness for a spectacular stage performance by posting, "I really want to see a stage of large groups so can we see EXO, SJ, and SEVENTEEN? Give me a chance, it's been a long time since I haven't seen a lavish and beautiful stage at the end-of-the-year show!" This post has received numerous likes and comments from fans who share the same sentiment, with some even suggesting the formation of "Sima Tang's several teams" to represent the combination of these groups.
However, not all netizens are convinced that such a performance will happen. One user posted, "Don't get too excited yet, wait and see what happens," hinting at possible disappointment or skepticism regarding the potential collaboration. Another fan added, "Please, help the poor ground fans, uncle Grounds, make a move, please," indicating that some fans may feel frustrated or let down by the lack of progress towards this highly-anticipated stage performance.
Despite these mixed reactions, many fans are enthusiastic about the possibility and have expressed their excitement with posts like "Stage comes fast at year end, please roll up each team and show me their favorites" and "Come out and dance a little, so excited!"
One user even commented on how quickly the end of the year is approaching, saying "Oh, it's already at the end of the year so quickly!" This sentiment is echoed by other fans who are eagerly anticipating what the year-end shows have in store.
In addition to these posts related to EXO, SJ, and SEVENTEEN, some fans have also requested a performance featuring Red Velvet. "Can we play a Red Velvet session?" a netizen asked, showing support for this popular K-pop girl group.
While the end of the year always brings excitement to fans, it's clear that this year will be particularly thrilling with all the anticipation and speculation surrounding these popular groups' potential performances.
