EXO members challenge SM Entertainment's claims, accusing unfair contracts and gaslighting

In a shocking turn of events, EXO members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin (also known as EXO-CBX) have come forward to challenge the official statements released by SM Entertainment regarding their contract renewal. The trio's legal representative made a significant revelation on June 5th, shedding light on the ongoing dispute between the artists and the agency.

According to the legal representative, SM Entertainment failed to provide the necessary documentation concerning the calculation of the members' payment, even after the designated closing hour at 6 PM. The absence of these crucial papers raises questions about the transparency and fairness of the contractual arrangements.

Denying SM Entertainment's claims that the members voluntarily agreed to the new contract terms, the legal representative disclosed a distressing pattern of continuous pressure exerted on the artists. It was revealed that the agency employed a manipulative tactic, suggesting that any member's refusal to renew their contract would have negative consequences not only for themselves but also for the remaining members or even the entire group.

In a display of loyalty and a desire to preserve the unity of the group, the three members reluctantly chose to sign the contract, albeit with minimal consideration given to the contract details. Their decision was driven by a strong bond with their fellow members and an unwavering commitment to keeping the group intact. The legal representative emphasized that the members felt compelled to accept the terms, which further highlights the prevailing closed-off and group-oriented environment within SM Entertainment. This experience has left them feeling trapped in a gaslighting situation, where their concerns and doubts were consistently undermined or invalidated.

The legal representative concluded by affirming that the three EXO members are currently embroiled in a dispute with the label. However, they steadfastly maintain their loyalty towards the remaining members and vow never to betray them. Their love for the group remains unwavering, despite the challenging circumstances they find themselves in.

The revelation of EXO members' grievances against SM Entertainment sheds light on the complex dynamics and power imbalances that exist within the K-pop industry. As fans and industry observers eagerly await further developments, it remains to be seen how this dispute will be resolved and what implications it will have for the future of EXO and the broader music scene.
