Sina Entertainment News, 10th of October] Exclusive news from Sina Entertainment, Korean boy group EXO’s Chinese member Luhan, at 9 o’clock in the morning, represented by his lawyer, has filed an indictment with the South Korea Seoul District Court, requesting to invalid his contract with S.M. Entertainment. In the evening, S.M. Entertainment has released an official statement, claiming that Luhan only cares about (his) personal interest in this contract termination, an act that ignores (the well being) of the group and the Company. On the 10th, S.M. Entertainment said: “Today, through the legal representative, we have received Luhan’s claim. Luhan has previously mentioned that due to his body condition, as well as in comparison to EXO’s activities, (he) would like to place more focus on his activities in China. (We are) currently in the midst of discussing (his) future activity plan. We feel troubled when we suddenly received (his) indictment to terminate the contract. S.M. added: “Similar to Kris’s contract termination previously, we think that to file an indictment without any reason, upon gaining popularity from the group’s activities, and through the same legal representative, using the same modus operandi, and doing it in a organized manner, is an act that ignores the well being of the group’s activities, as well as the well being of the stakeholders of the Company. This is an act that prioritized (his) personal interest.” With regards to the contract termination of the two members, one after another within a period of 6 months, S.M. said: “From the look of it, there is a driving force from behind the scene. In view of this situation, the Company will work hand-in-hand with our overseas partners and legal experts in China, vigorously and calmly respond to the said situation in a complete manner. Nevertheless, EXO’s activities will be carried out as per scheduled.”
