SM Entertainment has reportedly postponed the filming of EXO’s comeback music video after Chen, Xiumin and Baekhyun filed to terminate their contracts with the agency. EXO was apparently supposed to begin filming for their comeback on June 2, but it has now been delayed indefinitely.
The trio cited that their agency SM Entertainment had not provided accounting records regarding their payments, as well as those relating to longer contract renewal periods through 2027 and 2028, when requested by them. The documents related to his earnings from March to May have been completed.
SM Entertainment has released a lengthy statement regarding the EXO-CBX claims. He has denied any claims of not providing accounting records over the years and insisted that members did not raise the issue until recently. SM Entertainment also stated that their contracts were all based on standards created by the Fair Trade Commission. The Supreme Court also accepted the contracts. Lastly, the agency emphasized that the renewal contracts and agreements were made after a very long period of discussion and mutual agreement with the artists.
The singers also shared a message for their fans. “We apologize for causing great concern to fans through this issue, and there is no way to fully express our apologies. Although legal action is inevitable due to our differences in status with SM, we Will try our best to find a wise way resolve this dispute so that we fans don’t worry too much.As we try to speak with our little voices about the injustice we couldn’t talk about till now We are very scared and fearful at this time. We hope you take interest in our words and our hard courage. Again, we sincerely thank our fans who have supported us for a long time.
EXO previously announced that they would be making a comeback as a full group this year to celebrate their 11th anniversary, but this did not go as planned according to Kai’s list.
Baekhyun, Xiumin and Chen have been part of the nine-member group EXO since 2012. The group consists of Suho, Lay, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun. All nine of them recently posed for a picture as they dropped off their member Kai at the military camp.
