”EXO-CBX” who ”accuses SM Entertainment” finds it difficult to gain approval ratings? ... Emergency press conference turned toxic with ”cold public” reaction

Has the emergency press conference turned toxic? EXO-CBX (CHEN, BAEK HYUN, XIUMIN), a unit of the South Korean boy group EXO, have experienced insults by publicly sniping at SM Entertainment (SM Entertainment).

　On the 10th, ‘EXO-CBX’, which belongs to INB100, held an emergency press conference claiming unfair treatment by SM Entertainment, and INB100's legal representative stated that the reason for holding the emergency press conference was because SM Entertainment had defaulted on the 5.5% sound source distribution fee that it promised to guarantee and the artist's personal They said that they had sent a content-certified letter to SM Entera, but had not received a reply even after two months.

　In response, SM Entera also clarified its position on the same day, first clarifying that the actions of MC Mong and INB100 Chairman Cha Gawon were tampering (i.e. negotiating illegally). In relation to the distribution commission rate, which the INB100 side had clarified as unfair, he continued, "In the first place, we do not have the authority to determine the distribution commission rate of different distribution companies."

　Nonetheless, the ‘EXO-CBX’ side expressed their disappointment with SM Entertainment's tampering claims, saying, "We will take strong action against SM for defamation and the spread of false facts, including pursuing all civil and criminal charges". The company adhered to its existing claim that it was a situation where it had proposed and then forgotten to make a promise.

　The next day, on the 11th, a media outlet reported that the comeback by the complete ‘EXO’ with their winter album had gone down the drain. They were preparing to release an album by the complete ‘EXO’ this winter, but due to accusations from the ‘EXO-CBX’ side, it was said to have hit a snag. They added, "The press conference on the 10th was prepared to inform the media that it is unfair to give 10% of the sales for the artist's personal name activities to SM Entera, which violated the agreement earlier" and "Regardless of the continuation of EXO’s complete activities, ‘EXO-CBX’ will continue to be a member of SM Entera and ‘EXO-CBX’ will continue to be a member of ‘EXO’. EXO's complete activities in good faith, we promise our fans once again’ and immediately clarified their position."

　However, the reality is that a complete comeback of ‘EXO’ will not be easy. This is because it is not easy in reality for ‘EXO-CBX’ to prepare an album on schedule while the group's activities are carried out by SM Entertainment and they have been accused by SM Entertainment. Here, it was difficult for the three members to gain public support for their accusations against SM Entera after they caused damage to D.O., who is currently on his solo fan concert tour, and SUHO, who appeared in the MBN drama ‘The Crown Prince Disappeared’ and is also working on his solo album at the same time, due to such problems. Why did they have to hold an emergency press conference when the members of ‘EXO’ were actively working? Did the emergency press conference turn out to be a poison for ‘EXO-CBX’?
