SM Entertainment announced legal action against EXO’s Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin (EXO-CBX). On June 13, the agency shared,
“We have filed a complaint against Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin with the Seoul Eastern District Court to enforce the fulfillment of their contracts. We will respond in accordance with the law and principles.”
According to reports, SM Entertainment’s complaint alleges that they cannot tolerate Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin’s alleged unreasonable behavior any longer. They are filing a complaint to ensure the terms of their agreement are upheld as a first step.
Previously, representatives of Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin held a press conference on June 10, accusing SM Entertainment of disregarding negotiated terms that were fundamental to their agreement.
Later that day, SM Entertainment issued a lengthy statement refuting the allegations made during the press conference. They claimed that the core issue of the incident was unfair influence exerted by MC Mong and Cha Ga Won on their artists.
Additionally, SM Entertainment accused CBX of enjoying the privileges of being EXO members while allegedly neglecting promises and obligations.
