EXO fans have expressed deep concern for Chanyeol. EXO-Ls are lashing out at the production team of the idol group’s new show “Travel the World on a Ladder.” According to fans, the producers placed Chanyeol in a potentially dangerous situation.
Chanyeol Left Blindfolded and Alone On Fenceless Rooftop Terrace for New EXO Show
In one segment of the survival game played by the EXO members, they were blindfolded and transported to undisclosed locations. Alarmingly, Chanyeol was the first to be led to his destination, which was a rooftop terrace lacking protective fencing or barriers.
The inherent danger of blindfolding someone on an unprotected rooftop raised immediate concerns among fans. What added to their distress was the apparent absence of any staff members to supervise Chanyeol. Instead of a camera person, the footage appeared to be captured by a drone.
Personally it was uncomfortable for me to watch this scene. I don't know what were they thinking when they put him on an open roof with no fence while he's blindfolded. And apparently there was no staffs around him, they recorded him with a drone.

Chanyeol’s visible discomfort and unease upon realizing his precarious location only heightened fans’ worries. Additionally, it appeared that he had not been informed in advance about the nature of the location, leaving him visibly concerned.

That's what I'm thinking too when I watch this part..I just assumed that the crew might tell chanyeol not to roam around and just stay still because it's dangerous.

I was so anxious the entire time, pleading at my screen for him to stay put… he kept moving, and there were no railings and cars going by right below! I wish they had at least given him a chair and asked him not to move… this was so scary and not right…

For now, Chanyeol and his other group members are safe despite all the danger in the “Travel The World On a Ladder” episode. Hopefully, the production team will be more careful with the EXO members in the upcoming episodes.
EXO’s seventh studio album, titled “Exist,” saw its release on July 10, 2023. Notably, this album marked a significant departure for the group as it was the first one to be promoted with only seven members. The absence of member Kai, currently fulfilling his mandatory military service, and member Lay, engaged in solo endeavors in China, brought about this new dynamic within the group’s promotional activities.
