Meanwhile, EXO fans too have something to cheer about. On June 10, EXO's new track "Love Me Right" scored its first win at MBC's "Show Champion." BIGBANG, SHINee, IU and KARA were the other nominees. EXO released its repackaged album two days after BIGBANG's, on June 03, and since then the EXO fans and BIGBANG's V.I.P fans have been locking horns, with both the camps trying to prove that their idol group's new songs are the best and have more punch.

Recently, there was a rare display of solidarity between EXOs and V.I.Ps when a video surfaced featuring an unknown individual who is seen burning the photo of BIGBANG's Taeyang, with a lighter in a sink. Korea Boo reported that words "Die bigbang!" can be seen in the video, with EXO's first song "MAMA" playing in the background. 

The video was first posted on Instagram by oh__yehet -- the account is no longer available -- and later YG Entertainment's choreographer japollonia shared the video on her Instagram account, with the caption, as quoted by Korea Boo, "It's an insult not only for me but the whole yg Entertainment !! ... People are soooooooo f------ crazy ???? i don't know why they hate big bang? I respect Exo, so please stop this s--- people Exo & bigbang are one."    

EXO fans were quick to denounce the video, saying it has painted all them as bad. Korea Boo has quoted one of the posters as saying that the individual in the video is not only "offending" BIGBANG and its fans but also "disappointing" EXO and its fans.
