After Suho revealed his position regarding EXO-CBX's conflict with SM Entertainment, he ended up being criticized by some. Eris have since jumped into the idol's defense.
On June 17, Suho who had had his comeback interview decided to address the dispute between CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin) against SM where he also talked about their supposed winter comeback, their past issues involving, and his responsibilities as the group's leader.

While a lot was grateful that Suho emphasized that he's putting fans as his priority and attested to them that the group's comeback will not be compromised by the current lawsuit, the idol's statement didn't sit well with some CBX supporters.
In particular, the trio's fans expressed their anger at Suho for allegedly playing the victim and for indirectly blaming his co-members.
As a context, various media covered Suho's interview and there is a controversial part where he allegedly questioned why issues about EXO were surfacing whenever he was active as a soloist.
why are you leaving out what he said about chen’s wedding announcement and the chinese members’ lawsuits being “only when he’s active” ? https://t.co/eSorMnbJIP pic.twitter.com/Y4X8cx1DDV

not to mention he could’ve chosen to not answer any question related to cbx instead of throwing them under the bus to victimize himself and put all the blame on cbx, knowing damn well the hate this will bring them in these difficult times. just shitty

Korean Eris expressed their anger as it was inside a quotation mark, meaning, it was directly said by the star.
"It was the same when I was doing a musical last year. Amid my musical before, there was a member's wedding announcement, I thought, 'Why do you only do this when I'm active?'
But I was working 365 days a year. In a way, I think I'm always given this position since I am the leader."

His own kfans are talking about it and using what he said to attack and mock Chen but he's the victim?? His own fan translated it, how does this have no negative connotation when it's so self centered??? Group fans are delusional, he turned his back to his members https://t.co/gEv31aoW54 pic.twitter.com/j8VQWottzM

Chen fans then conveyed that everything was going back to normal but he just had to bring the issue back. CBX supporters also think that it would have been better if he just avoided the topic and remained silent about the controversy as he was not even directly involved in it.
As a hate train against Suho began, Eris stepped out to defend the male idol, explaining that he didn't say those, clarifying that his words were maliciously twisted and the cause of mistranslation.
Eris laid pieces of evidence and linked official articles from Naver, showing that the aforementioned statement wasn't from Suho, but from the journalists' editing and POV.
[240617] NAVER#SUHO’s Naver interview, about what the JOURNALIST asked and prefaced about CHEN, CBX, CHINALINE, MOZART, etc. I realize I shouldn’t be like the fandoms who make it a habit of omitting and hiding things👍https://t.co/RNMEXhZ40m#EXO #수호 #준면 #金俊勉 #スホ pic.twitter.com/6nsS3FkWhV

Since some only read headlines, and then a certain sum of those are always particularly ready to twist and manipulate #SUHO’s words into due to their personal grudges against him, READ⬇️:#EXO #수호 #준면 #金俊勉 #スホ pic.twitter.com/Pl7yMnCB8C

They then refuted that the above remarks were true since it was a snippet from a blog. In Naver, anyone with an account can write a blog but it wasn't reliable since it didn't undergo official proofreading from K-media who was present in the actual interview.
Eris then conveyed their disgust that some solo stans were trying to break apart the fandom when it is a time when they should be stronger and intact to support all nine members.
Fans also left cheering messages to Suho, attesting to him that they were also on his side.
The hate coming for suho are not EXOLs I repeat they are not EXOLs but SOLO STANS stop dragging and insulting the group fandom.
