Super M to perform on 'Ellen DeGeneres Show', K-pop fans say 'get them out of there' and with James Corden instead
South Korean supergroup formed in 2019 by SM Entertainment and Capitol Music Group SuperM is supposed to make an appearance on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres’ show. As reported by Headline Planet, the group is tentatively set to perform on September 23, which will be the third episode of Season 18, and as per the report will feature Alec Baldwin as a guest. SuperM is also supposed to release their debut album ‘Super One’ on September 25, as per koreaboo.com.
In October last year, the group had appeared on Ellen’s show. According to koreaboo.com, they performed ‘Jopping’ and ‘I Can’t Stand the Rain’ and also spoke about probable names for their fans and whether or not they were single. At the end of the interview, they even surprised Ellen by donating $50,000 to the Ellen Fund.
The group consists of seven members from four SM Entertainment boy groups: Taemin from Shinee, Baekhyun and Kai from Exo, Taeyong and Mark from NCT 127 and Ten and Lucas from WayV. Their debut self-titled EP had entered the Billboard 200 at number one in 2019.
Once the news got out, fans started discussing it on Twitter. One fan said, “Skip Ellen and Jimmy Fallon. Just go on @latelateshow James will welcome @superm with open arms.” Another said, “Though, I am laughing at the fact that SM is trying to cover for themselves when they know damn well that we are so mad at them for making Super M go on Ellen...

I'm praying for all of them hoping they won't get asked simple boring are you all dating somebody questions.”

On went a step ahead and stated, “They being forced. We have to get them out of there immediately.” Another said, “SuperM im so sorry they’re making you do this.” A user tried to reason and said, “Regardless of her and her questions, just notice how big of a deal is that they’ve been asked to perform for the second time in such a “short” period time however they could’ve chosen the late late show instead or Jimmy Fallon.” Another declared, “Get them out of there.”

Ellen was under fire because of widespread allegations of a toxic work culture environment. Amid the ongoing scandal, the popular 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' will kick off its Season 18 on Monday, September 21. This development comes after months of speculation about the chat show’s fate and backlash against the host.
As reported, the negative reports had affected the ratings of the talk show adversely as rankings hit an all-time low TRP. Amid reports of bullying, racism and sexual misconduct making for a "toxic" workplace at the talk show, the series ended up at a record low rating – 1.0, Live + Same Day household ratings, for the week ending July 26. According to The Wrap, the slip in ratings was a 9% drop from the previous week and 29% fall from the same period in summer last year.
