Litigation dispute with SM

Wu Minjing, who is lu minyu's mother and runs the planning company to which he belongs, starred in the TVB variety show and told the details of it, so the controversy was even more boiling. Lu Minyu enlisted in the army in October 2016, during the litigation. But a few years later, it is said that in the lawsuit against SM Entertainment, Lu Minyu ultimately lost the case.
