Previously, SM Entertainment filed a lawsuit against EXO-CBX members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin.
The lawsuit refers to the terms of the agreement between SM Entertainment and the three members, requesting that the three members follow the previously agreed-upon conditions. EXO-CBX has since responded by filing a lawsuit against SM.

We will also file a lawsuit against SM to claim the settlement amount (profit distribution). Through the procedure, we will claim our legitimate rights through the settlement data stipulated by the exclusive contract. We will also reveal that SM’s settlement system is wrong.

As of June 25, the members have officially filed the complaint against SM Entertainment’s CEO for fraud.
Netizens, however, were tired of the dispute and wished it would end soon.
- “Huh..why are they like this.”
- “Why are they doing this.”
- “They really are doing the most…”
- “They really are pointing fingers at other when it’s their own fault. Fans of other artists from the company must be so annoyed.”
- “Why are they being like this.”
- “Im so mad. They aren’t the only ones using the name EXO. Take off the name and leave.”
- “Did they learn how to do media play lawsuits from HYBE.”
- “Here we go again….when are they leaving.”
- “SM shouldn’t have been lenient with them int he beginning. It’s not like they have any influence now. Take them out of the group and the other members promote as EXO in peace.
- “Why did they sight the contract if they were going to come out like this? So strange.”
- “What’s wrong with them? Are they still talking about wanting to do group promotions? I’m even more ashamed than the time wasted on liking the group. I still have acquaintances that think I am still your fan…sigh.”
- “How much lower are they going to go? Wasn’t it the members that lied first? It looks like they don’t think of the fans at all.”
- “Just file the lawsuit and tell us the results.”
- “If the fees were that important, they should have put it in writing..I don’t get it. If a verbal contract is also a contract, then SM is also not going to MC Mong and making a fuss then, right? I think they would have checked that before signing.”
- “I was a fan, but I am so frustrated with this. I hope SM blocks all IP. I hope they block it all since they’re trying to do encore concerts.”
- “I guess they filed a lawsuit because they think they have a chance at winning? If SM hits back with the IP lawsuit they won’t be able to do any to their concerts. Isn’t this so disrespectful to the fans that like them?”
