As expected the legal saga continues with SM Entertainment with their former members of group EXO-K - Kris and Luhan. It seems that this company is having lots of trouble with their group idols. First it was Super Junior's member Han Kyung, then JYJ's members, Girl's Generation Jessica with again with EXO-K members.
What does that show? It shows the company fails to manage their pop groups properly and accordingly. Members were either not given fair salaries, over-worked to the extent they fall sick and been ditched aside when they demand for their equal share.
No surprise as we can see why the rest left the group happily without looking back to their previous agency. The pale and bitter memories they had with their agency remains a scar in their career and their lives.
This round SM is filing a case against the companies who have been using Kris and Luhan as models in adverts in China. SM has heavily invested and created EXO turning them into one of the biggest and most successful K-pop boy band in Asia. EXO has practically swapped all the music awards in every ceremony. They have broken the records by TVXQ and Super Junior. Apparently SM mentioned that Kris and Luhan abandoned the group when they hit fame and success so they trying to bind them back legally.
Indeed SM has created all the best girl groups and boy bands in South Korea. However the company has too many board of directors to handle and large pop groups to feed and manage...how is that possible to get a fair share for each member? If you do notice that smaller groups are easier to handle and other companies do not have such problems.
YG Ent and JYP Co. are manage groups such as 2PM, 2AM, GOT7, Big Bang, Miss A, 2NE1 are good as ever. They don't encounter problems as what SM Ent. is facing.
Even Woolim Ent. who handles INFINITE do not face such cases.
With this never ending saga....all we can do is sit behind and watch how the court case goes.
Good luck to Kris and Luhan with the court case...
