EXO's manager YM. Noh recently faced netizens' wrath after he sent a series of tweets to American socialite Paris Hilton, asking her to listen to EXO's newest track, "Love Me Right." He reportedly tweeted other American celebrities as well, including Kim Kardashian, Madonna, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Pink, and Backstreet Boys' members.

He has since deleted his original tweets, according to SBS. In one of the deleted tweets, he introduced himself as an Asian guy in his 30s who loves music, adding that he has "discovered an awesome song." He then tweeted: "It is a song by the group, Exo, called "Love Me Right" Please give it a listen." Noh did not stop at this, but sent another tweet, saying that "she might really enjoy it" and he wanted to recommend the song to her.
Some of the Netizens were embarrassed by the way he was promoting the new EXO album. They felt that he was "begging" by pretending to be a regular guy, with no link to the group. Korea Boo has quoted one of the posters as saying, "infinitely begging."
There were comments in support of Noh as well. One of the posters felt that their favourite EXO-L idols were easy targets, while Korea Boo quoted another poster as saying, "When PSY does it, it's for promotion, and if EXO's manager does it, it's begging? You're being rude."
EXO released the repackaged EXODUS album on June 03. The new album consists of original songs as well as four new songs. "Love Me Right" is receiving a lot of love from fans, and Korea Boo reported that EXO's comeback album has received glowing praise from one of Korean journalists, Nam Ujung. He wrote in his op-ed that EXO members have "transformed into innocent, cute boys." Ujung was impressed by the idol group's change in performance style and choreography.
Meanwhile, EXO members are currently in Taiwan for their concert, scheduled to be held on June 12 and 13. They were seen wearing masks as precaution because of MERS outbreak in South Korea. Korea Boo reported that the idols exited the terminal through a different gate to avoid the crowd.
