Following their initial statement announcing termination of their contracts with SM Entertainment, EXO's Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen have released a new statement via their legal representative that refutes SM Entertainment's statement from June 1. Read the full statement below: This is lawyer...

I don't know if this has been discussed here but this is messed up. In short there is a clause in their contracts which requires idols to release a certain number of albums before they can leave but the company gets to decide unilaterally when the groups will have a comeback. So, say if the contract says X group or soloist has to release 6 albums under their contract and the group releases 5 albums in first 7 years but then the company puts them in a dungeon and doesn't allow them to release an album for 10 years then the contract will be extended for 17 years!!! which is insane and just messed up. SM hasn't changed since JYJ lawsuit. They still put their idols under slave contracts. I am pretty sure Hyb3 and YGee are trying to do something similar with BTS and BP. However, the other companies still seem to be better than SM because YGee allowed Big Bang members to leave and similarly JYP let Got7 go.
I know many theories have been posted on this thread about why Jonghyun died. People say it was a ritual, murder etc. I believe one of the more plausible reasons for why he may have been pushed to take his life is because of SM pressuring him for contract renewal. Sh1nee renewed their contract for the first time as 4 members in 2018. The fact this happened only 7-8 months after J0nghyun's death is suspicious. If anyone among Sh1nee was going to leave SM it was Jonghyun.
Also, I feel like the other members are not talented and confident enough to leave. Sh1nee were mostly a midtier group in Korea and they aren't very popular as soloists except Taemin. I also think they tried to sabotage Taemin's career pre-enlistment because they didn't want him to leave and that's what led to his mental breakdown. No, one really wants to stay in that company but the management is full of evil people. What's worse is that they don't even pay their artists. 90% of money from the millions of albums fans buy go to the upper management of that company. The artists and workers both are underpaid and overworked. The situation is really messed up for these people. I really feel bad for them because most of them are scouted when they are very young and naive.
It's all a purposeful psyop they are doing. They are mistreating their idols publicly on purpose, and making a big show of it on purpose.If you know their endgame everything the company is doing makes sense. Lsm has been pushing the ai agenda tirelessly. That is the ultimate goal. He wants his company and kpop in the future to have digital versions of idols that basically mimic actual gods through technology. People love their idols they don't want drama and heartache so they are making all these bad things happen like making it look like exo will disband or having all these scandals come out with them. Before or around cbx leaving scandals hit exo left and right, one about sehun getting a woman pregnant, ksoo smoking indoors, and for years bad events have been tarnishing the groups image. I believe it's all planned out and on purpose to get people to become better adjusted to their idol verse kwangya. Which if you look into is their kpop version of the metaverse. This isn't a new idea but actually something lee sooman came up with when he created the company. The idea for exo was actually first and was inspired by 12 ufo's popping up in korea back in the day. He went to ucla and majored in robotics it's clear somewhere along the way the elite chose him to push some sort of alien/fallen angel/robotic agenda specifically in asia. He speaks of this anytime he gets a chance. He has gotten a lot of money to push this as well. All sm groups have these signs and signals heavily imbedded into the music which all acts do but they are very open with it. It's no coincidence that in the past few years the Kwangya "Pink blood" (which could be a whole analysis on it's own) thing has been all over everything sm. Ever since lsm left they are "trying to move past it" but actually they aren't it's all a farce. Lsm has made billions off this company and owns it through and through, so much so he's been investigated quite a lot.
He was in the pandora papers.
In 2021, he was included in the names of figures in the Pandora Papers. He was mentioned 399 times across 280 documents, tying him to eight paper companies in Hong Kong, five of which used a nominee service to conceal the source of their funds.
I believe he has many more money laundering operations disguised as businesses but......
He has spoken at institutes like harvard, he is most definitely high ranking in fm, and if so he must show allegiance and stick with the ultimate plan. After ( 19 fans were drawn to watching celebs through their screens 24/7. All the sm artists were used to push it, the vac, you couldn't go to a concert without it. If they can encourage fans to do this just so they can go to a concert they can definitely get them to put on metaverse headsets. The headset concerts are being used by sm to further push the kwangya rhetoric. Exo introduced the Kwangya concept to their fans in 2021. Exo was on hiatus and wasn't even supposed to have a comeback. But they "surprised' fans with it.
Sadly fans believe when groups do these things it's because they just love them so much. But no they deprived fans of content and gave them content that promoted the agenda. This is what they will do. In the coming days you won't see or here from these artists any artists unless it's to do with either a war, or something that is getting people to degrade themselves their bodies or do something blasphemous. You won't. They have gotten the fans hooked and it may not be many but all that matters is the ones that are desperate will do anything their idols would want them to do.
The recent chat gpt style app bubble
these companies will definitely use it to their advantage. Fans not only receive but can send idols messages this means their algorithm can basically examine everything about these people and figure out not only what they want but how to manipulate them in the best way possible. It's extremely dangerous and this is high end spying surveillance technology capable of potentially influencing large amounts of young children and adults. But it's in an adorable package the best kind so no one suspects anything. It can be used as ways to help the companies make money by subtly influence the members buying habits to even replacing people's need or want of family, friends or even God. It's already happening steadily.
It's slowly pushing fans to want a more perfect always available version of their idol that won't get old, married, start dating, have kids, say something problematic and be objectified with no arguments. Any drama created will be fictional simply for the consumers amusement
(two ai idols recently said to be in a dating scandal.)
It's cheaper and easier to get people to delve into the lowest parts of humanity when the people they are obsessed over aren't real.
Lsm is definitely still in control of sm. His nephew exposed his plan in a youtube video. The plan is to leave and have everything be so chaotic, have the artists 'miss him so much', have everything be in such a disarray that people would beg for him to come back. Lsm and sm in general are souless people. All of this is already mapped out everything in the media is just helping facilitate it further in people's minds.
I believe it's been the plan for all their 'artists' just pay attention closely over the recent years at how music videos look compared to back in the day.
(at the end of tempo the members glitched hinting that the video wasn't actually real or at least not as real as the viewers would think)
The glitches they purposely imput in the mv's they have basically put the truth in plain sight. Lsm went to seoul national university and got a bachelor of engineering then he went to california state university and to do a master's. His dissertation which you can look up online had to do with robotic systems and computer vision. Literally what sm and it's content has been pushing for years. He is very smart and basically has been working to create real life robots his entire life. He has been intent on implementing this not only in media but integrate it inside culture in general. I'm sure if you look into many of these ceo's and very successful people you will see similarities. Highly educated and definitely pushing things to do with ai and automation of human beings. Sm is very very private company. But the truth is usually wide in the open.
they put hints EVERYWHERE because they have to tell the truth but only just enough
(one of the episodes featured a student from Kaist university just incase the connection wasn't clear enough. The man literally knows robotics inside and out but people think he's just a silly old innocent man)
Also I'm tired of people thinking that any one person invented these things just because they push it, they did not. Simply through climbing the ranks of the elite they were made privy to this old tech and are allowed to use utilize it to make money.
Most sm acts are ignored and barely used but they are intent on having groups the size of a small army. Imagine if this went through it seems more like a military operation than a boy group.
They don't want to damage the image of what they plan to use for a very long time. They have been working on creating doubles and ai virtual versions of idols that will extend long after the lives of any celeb they entrap in a simply contract. Modern technology is blurring the lines and people are becoming confused about what's real and fake
this is a "real' photo of aespa
but this is ai special affects
this is cheap and people have done better on the internet for free. This is what they want people to believe is possible otherwise they would know fake when they see it. Eventually nobody will be able to tell the difference.
