The shooting of the EXO full-length MV was canceled, the three members proposed to terminate the contract, and the return of the 11th anniversary could not be guaranteed
EXO's full-body MV shooting was canceled, and there is no guarantee of a return on the 11th anniversary of its debut.
On June 1, according to Korean media reports, in addition to the recently enlisted KAI, EXO was originally scheduled to shoot the new song MV on the 2nd, but the three members of Bian Baekhyun, XIUMIN Kim Min-seok, and CHEN Kim Jong-dae collectively proposed to SM to terminate the exclusive contract, and the MV shooting was temporarily postponed.
EXO, which is celebrating the 11th anniversary of its debut this year, announced its full return from the beginning of this year, according to SM's recently announced new release plan, EXO's seventh regular album is scheduled to be released in the third quarter, but recently member KAI suddenly received a notice of enlistment and enlisted, the plan to return came to an abrupt end, and then three more members wanted to cancel the exclusive contract, and EXO's future activities became uncertain.
It has now become a situation where fans of the long-awaited full return of EXO will stomp their feet, and EXO is ready to return fully after Baekhyun's retirement in February, after a lapse of about five years. In April, they held a fan meeting to commemorate the 11th anniversary of their debut, when EXO released the unreleased song "Let Me In", sparking anticipation of a return.
However, for EXO's sudden "breakup" and proposed to terminate the exclusive contract, fans could not hide it. EXO's return will be difficult for the time being, as the conflict between disputes over transparent settlement and contract durations and SMs' insistence that external forces intervened will not easily disappear.
However, netizens have also expressed their opinions, some netizens said, can pull down, originally also painted cakes for a few months, this time to ignite the fire, its heart can be blamed, today broke this matter said that it was originally going to shoot the MV tomorrow? Some netizens said that they shot 3 in April, but the original MV has not been filmed now? Before that, it would be a lie to say that you were ready to return, you painted the pie for so long and ended up not shooting, now this time to say wait.
The cause of the whole matter is that today, some Korean media reported that three members, EXO Bian Baekhyun, XIUMIN Kim Min-seok, and CHEN Kim Jong-dae, submitted a notice of termination of the exclusive contract to SM through their lawyers, believing that most of SM's contracts are more than 12 to 13 years, which seriously violates the regulations of the Fair Trade Commission for 7 years, and SM will pressure to extend it to 17 to 18 years when the contract is renewed, and the artist cannot negotiate with the company on an equal footing due to the binding of the contract, resulting in the renewal clause being difficult to reflect the artist's wishes.
The three members have been seriously active as EXOs for more than ten years, and SM Entertainment is obliged to disclose the settlement data to the artist twice a year, but in fact, SM only gives a unilateral explanation and never provides an objective basis for each settlement, which is sufficient to constitute a reason for termination according to previous precedents.
Subsequently, SM responded that it was confirmed that some external forces approached our artists and provided false information and wrong legal evaluations while our company was concentrating on preparing for a new departure, implying that artists could ignore the exclusive contract with our company and sign with them. Bluntly said that he was dug into a corner by his peers.
Immediately afterwards, Korean media broke the news that MC Dream served as a director Big Planet Made, and SM sent a content certificate to Big Planet Made Entertainment, where MC Dream was a director of the company, on the grounds that it was aware that Big Planet Made deliberately approached the three members of EXO and induced them to sign a contract. The report was confirmed by SM sources.
Big Planet Made Entertainment later issued a statement rebutting that the content of the company's report was inconsistent with the facts, and that the company had never met with the artists mentioned in the report, nor had it discussed or exchanged views on any exclusive contract. MC Dream only meets his juniors because of friendship. Denied the claim of digging into the wall. For the EXO complete MV shooting was canceled, the three members proposed to terminate the contract, and the 11th anniversary return cannot be guaranteed, what do you think?
