In the episode of SBS' new variety show 'AGJ' that aired on the 23rd, Han Hyejin appeared and met Tak Jaehoon and Kai in a blind date style concept.

During the broadcast, Lee Sangmin told Han Hyejin, "You have a realistic weakness. Your honesty becomes your weapon." Han Hyejin replied, "I'm not as honest as people think I am. If there's something truly fatal in my partner, I wouldn't say anything about it and just break up with him."

She added, "I wouldn't say anything because I know they won't change because of me. People don't change. I used to try to change them, but it just didn't work."

Han Hyejin then said that her ideal type is 'a man with no friends.' Kai caught everyone's attention as he replied, "I don't have friends. I only have 25 contacts saved on my phone. That's why I don't like it when my partner has a lot of plans to go out."

CBX responds to SM Ent.'s statement: "We want to rebuild trust with EXO's members"


On October 30, CBX's agency, INB100, issued an official response to SM Ent. recent statement. Below is INB100's full statement in response to SM Ent.'s:

SM Ent. official statement 1)
"The only thing we demanded from the three members was for them to pay 10% of their individual activity revenue, as set out in the original agreement from 18 June 2023. This payment has not yet been made."

CBX's response:
CBX has not changed their intention to pay the 10% revenue. Since the lawsuit is still ongoing, they plan to make the payment as soon as an agreement is reached and the legal procedures are finalized.

SM Ent. official statement 2)
"As for group activities, as the trust between both sides has been severely damaged through numerous disputes and because EXO as a group, its members, and fans were deeply hurt, it is only natural that the three members show genuine effort to rebuild trust by fulfilling the existing contract."

CBX's response:
All negotiations were carried out based on the condition of 'EXO's full-group activities.' CBX clearly expressed their intention to follow the existing agreement, have been directly communicating with the other members, and have been making efforts to remain as part of the team.

SM Ent. official statement 3)
"The three members' claim that they clearly accepted all of SM Ent.'s conditions after the second mediation on October 2 is false. They actually filed an objection on the 16th, contrary to their claims."

CBX's response:
CBX had informed SM Ent. of their intention to pay the 10% of individual activity revenue before and after the mediation session and they were waiting for SM Ent.'s final reply. However, the amount presented by the mediator on October 2 was calculated independently and unrelated to both parties' agreement. Therefore, both sides stated they could not accept that specific amount at the mediation. When this amount was officially delivered in a document, both sides filed objection on October 16. This was just a standard legal procedure. SM Ent's claim that CBX doesn't want to reach an agreement is false.

We sincerely apologize to the fans who may have felt confused or concerned during this legal process with SM Ent.

CBX will faithfully uphold the existing agreement and do our best to rebuild trust with the members and reach an agreement with SM Ent.

Thank you.

SM Ent.: "CBX caused deep wounds to EXO and fans ... We regret their misleading announcement about accepting all demands"

 

EXO's side has released a rebuttal to CBX's recent statement.

On the 29th, SM Ent. stated, "We have made it clear to the three members that agreeing to end the legal dispute and participating in group activities are two separate issues."

SM Ent. continued, "Regarding ending the dispute, we have won every legal conflict so far. The only thing we demanded from the three members was for them to pay 10% of their individual activity revenue, as set out in the original agreement from 18 June 2023. This payment has not yet been made." They added, "As for group activities, as the trust between both sides has been severely damaged through numerous disputes and because EXO as a group, its members, and fans were deeply hurt, it is only natural that the three members show genuine effort to rebuild trust by fulfilling the existing contract."

SM Ent. added, "The three members' claim that they clearly accepted all of SM Ent.'s conditions after the second mediation on October 2 is false. They actually filed an objection on the 16th, contrary to their claims. We find it deeply regrettable that their statement today distorts these facts," adding, "We will give our full support and effort to EXO's activities this December."

Earlier today, CBX's agency, INB100, stated, "After the second mediation session, we accepted all conditions SM Ent. presented and clearly expressed our intention to reach an agreement. We cleared all personal schedules for December and were waiting for SM Ent.'s final response. With the sincere desire for a full EXO group comeback, we plan to finalize the agreement soon."

EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) agency, INB100, issues official statement

We sincerely apologize for the delay in announcing our position regarding CBX's participation in EXO's full-group activities, which has caused confusion and concern for the fans.

INB100 and its artists Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin have promised fans to participate in full groups activities as members of EXO and have been making every possible effort to fulfill that promise.

We would like to inform you about the progress that has been made so far:

1. 9 July 2025 - Confirmed intention to reach an agreement with SM Ent.
We met SM Ent. in person to confirm mutual intention and direction for EXO's full-group activities.

2. 10 September 2025 - Shared detailed agreement drafts with each other.
Both sides exchanged specific details of the agreement, moving into negotiation stage.

3. Full acceptance of SM Ent.'s requirements
After the second mediation session on October 2nd, CBX clearly expressed their willingness to agree by accepting all conditions proposed by SM Ent. for EXO's full-group activities at the end of the year.

4. Schedule adjustments, prioritizing EXO's full-group activities
We cleared all of their personal schedules in December for EXO's full-group activities and waited SM Ent.'s final responses through legal representatives.

However, while we were making these efforts for EXO's full-group activities, we were informed about the upcoming EXO's fan meeting and full-length album announcement that excluded CBX.

We apologize for the delay in our response because we were trying to confirm SM Ent.'s stance amid this unexpected situation.

CBX members deeply value the sincerity of the fans who have supported them for so long and sincerely wished to participate in EXO's full-group activities, which is why they pursued this agreement.

We plan to finalize the agreement for EXO's full-group activities as soon as possible.We thank the fans who always trust and wait for us. We will do our best to create a positive outcome. Please continue to give us your unwavering support and anticipation.

theqoo

-SM-ah, don’t take them back…

-Why are they clinging on so much?

-What are they even saying? Stop clinging like that.

-They cleared their schedules in December just for EXO's full-group activities?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's ridiculous.

-Their actions are the total opposite of their official statement. If they really wanted to reconcile with SM, why did they keep appealing?

-Get lost.

-That's enough. Get lost. We don't need you .

-In my opinion, EXO is already a complete group without those three. Why are they suddenly trying to get involved now??

-I'm curious... Do EXO's fans blame SM Ent. for this?? What's their stance? (I'm a non-fan)

-If SM Ent. takes them back, it'll only prove that they're dumb.

-Maybe SM Ent. just decided not to do it with them anymore. Why do they sound so desperate?

-They're acting as they please.

-Their actions don't match their words at all.

-I don't even like SM Ent., but in this case, I hope they win. Contracts must be honoredㅎ What are they doing? They're basically holding the group and fans hostageㅎ

-SM Ent. probably no longer wants to negotiate with them. They must be completely done with them now.

If this song was released now, do you think it would succeed?

 





EXO's Wolf


-I wasn't a fan during 'Wolf' era, but I know this song because my friends kept singing it.

-I only remember the 'Ah Ssaranghaeyo~' partㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If it was released now, I think it would've gone viral on Youtube Shortsㅋㅋㅋ I think that was the time they started gaining a lot of fans.

-Honestly, I don't think it was a huge hit even back then... So of course, it wouldn't be a huge hit now as well.

-If it was released with EXO's 12-member visuals back then, I think it could still work.

-The song is not the problem... Look at their visuals.

-I've never even heard this song before.

-I remember people calling the song funny, but still ended up liking EXO after hearing 'Wolf'ㅋㅋㅋ

-The song itself wasn't great but the 'Tree of Life' choreography was very fascinating. They blew up right on the next release.

-Nope... Even the song still sounds bad now.

-It only did well because it was sung by EXO, with those visuals.

-I became a fan because of 'Wolf,' I truly loved the 'Tree of Life' choreography.

-Rather than the song itself, the stage performance was more interesting. It was so fun to watch, and they're all really handsomeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But my answer is still no.

-It sounds like a mid-tier idol group's songㅋㅋ

-Even back then people said it was bad.

-The song was weird even at that time.

600 M KRW Civil Lawsuit between SM Ent and EXO's CBX, first mediation hearing tomorrow

 

https://n.news.naver.com/article/003/0013498037?sid=102

The first mediation hearing is set to take place on the 23rd at 2.45 PM at the Seoul Eastern District Court.

Previously, in June last year, SM Ent. filed a lawsuit against EXO CBX, claiming, "Their exclusive contracts are still valid." The complaint reportedly stated, "We can no longer tolerate the unreasonable behavior from CBX's side."

In response, CBX filed a countersuit, stating that they hadn't properly received settlement data. Through their agency INB100, they argues that "SM Ent. failed to keep their promise of 5.5% distribution fee rate for albums and digital sales." They also argued that the agreement to pay 10% of their individual earnings was unfair.

theqoo

-I wonder what's going to happen...

-When is EXO going to have a comeback?

-I hope they can part ways without any troubles.

-How many years has this lawsuit been going on? 3 years?

-If they were going to leave the company, they shouldn't have renewed their contracts. I hope SM Ent. wins this.

-They should've just not renew their contract and left SM Ent. in the first place.

-I can't help but to side with SM Ent. on this one.

-I'm rooting for SM Ent.

-I just don't get it...

-They have lots of money... Why don't they just pay the penalty and leave?

-Is a contract a joke to them?

-All this mess over 600 M KRW...

-Honestly, I kinda feel bad for SM Ent. on this. I hope SM Ent. wins.

-I'm curious about the result.

-Never thought I'd see the day I'm rooting for SM Ent.

-I thought these pictures were from 2013...

-Whoa... Judging from the tattoo, these must be recent pictures. He's really amazing.

-Why am I the only one who ages?? If his tattoos were covered, I would've believed these pictures were from 2013ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's been 12 years. Why does he look the same?? Whoa...

-Whoa... I feel like I just became a middle school student again.

-Huh? Is this even possible?? What the heck?

Is Baekhyun also a victim of SM Ent.'s power abuse? ... Unable attend award shows despite selling 1 million copies

https://m.entertain.naver.com/now/article/213/0001329808

EXO's Baekhyun, who is now under One Hundred, couldn't avoid it either.

Last April, Baekhyun released his 4th solo mini album 'Hello, World.' This album sold over 1 million copies within just 5 days, proving Baekhyun's popularity by becoming a million seller 3 times in a row, following his previous 2nd and 3rd mini albums.

Despite this success, Baekhyun did not appear at any year-end music award shows, leaving fans puzzled. The disappointment was even greater as Baekhyun had previously expressed his desire to attend the year-end awards ceremonies through a fan communication platform. He stated, "I absolutely have to go to the year-end award shows!! I'll go even if I don't receive an award. I want to perform a great stage."

At the time, fans showed their excitement. However, Baekhyun ultimately did not appear at any music-related awards shows last year.

On the 7th, an entertainment industry insider revealed, "Baekhyun really wanted to attend the year-end award shows. However, he was unable to attend any of them."

Previously, on the 4th, Xiumin shared his struggles as he announced his new album, stating, "We have tried to arrange meetings with broadcasting stations to perform on music shows for fans, but KBS hasn't responded to us. They're being silent," drawing attention to his conflict with SM Ent. once again. 

theqoo

-I just feel sorry for SM now... They get blamed for everythingㅋㅋㅋ

-Please don't do this... It only makes you really bad... You're the one ruining your own career right now.

-How does he expect to receive an award when no one knows he released a song?;

-He's trying to ride the wave.

-This doesn't sound like something that SM Ent. would care about.

-Know your place.

-It sounds like he just needs someone to blame.

-If he wanted to receive the same treatment he got from SM Ent., he should've just stayed in SM Ent.

-Now that I see it, it sounds like his company is blaming SM Ent. for their own incompetence.

-Then why did you leave SM Ent.? Why did you abandon EXO?

-His victim mindset is no joke...

-He released an album?

-What?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do you think you can attend every award show just because you want to?

-I’m a fan, but I don’t understand why he’s acting like this.

Do Kyungsoo: "EXO is still going strong... We're preparing for a full group comeback now"

 

On the 11th and 12th, SM Entertainment celebrated its 30th anniversary with 'SMTOWN Live 2025' concert, drawing significant attention. Many stars under SM Ent. as well as former SM Ent.'s artists attended the concert. However, fans were disappointed, as among other SM Ent.'s representative idol groups, only Suho and Chanyeol from EXO attended.

During the concert, Suho and Chanyeol shed tears while thinking of their fellow members. Addressing this, Do Kyungsooo reassured fans by saying, "EXO is still going strong." He continued, "I believe fans will definitely get to see the full group again. I want to tell fans not to worry. We're about to start preparations for a full-group comeback. You'll be able to see EXO as a full group soon. It might be a bit difficult to happen this year, but I think we'll reunite in the near future. After all, we all have to adjust our individual schedules. But we've been continuously preparing for the comeback."

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/076/0004238235

theqoo

-I trust Kyungsoo, but not the others... I hope they will still do it even if some members are missing.

-'Soon' but 'not this year'... What does that even mean...? Is this from an old interview?

-Who exactly is considered in the full-group? Also, why didn't D.O. attend the SMTOWN Concert??

-Will Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin also participate??? This is amazing.

-I'm always waiting for EXOㅠㅠㅠㅠ I really want to see them soon.

-What does he mean soon but not this year...?

-It'ts only January, so if it's not gonna happen within this year, it seems like they're still at the talking stage.

-If that one member gets discharged in September, then realistically the comeback would happen in Christmas at earliest (Meaning that it's obvious that the comeback wouldn't happen within this year)

-It's going to be difficult for the comeback to happen within this year... Especially since Sehun will get discharged at the end of this year... It makes sense.

-Sehun will get discharged from the military in September, so I figured they would release an album next yearㅋㅋㅋ At least do a fan concert this winter!

-It seems like they'll only do a fan meeting this year! Please give us an album and concert next yearㅠ

-If they're not seriously preparing for it, it's better not to give fans false hope.

-Did Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin leave the group? Who exactly is included in the 'full group'?

-So it's going to be D.O., Suho, Chanyeol, Sehun, and Kai, right?

-Just hearing that EXO is still going strong is enough for me. It's reassuringㅋㅋㅋ

Do Kyungsoo opened a Kidzania at the first floor of Jamsil Lotte World Mall

 To celebrate his birthday (January 12), he holds a ZZirang-e & Charles (Characters which he personally participated in creating) pop-up store for a week long starting from yesterday, but...


Maybe it's because it was set up nicely in a place with a lot of attention...

I visited the ZZirang-e pop-up today and it's just like Kidzania here. I've never been to a pop-up store like this before. The kids are busy fishing🎣

I didn't expect the ZZirang-e pop-up to entertain not just the kids, but also their parents who came with them... It's truly a place of unityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I think if the pop-up store was open to the general public, it would've been a huge success as well... I wonder if Kyungsoo knows about this?ㅋㅋㅋ

I passed by the pop-up store and there were tons of kids again todayㅋㅋ Couples are even making reservations on the spotㅋㅋㅋ Is this really a pop-up store for fans?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The kids were saying they want to have the ZZirang-e plushies... Please open a booth for the general public too.

The ZZirang-e pop-up store is so muggle-friendly that passersby were asking why the merchandise was a person when they saw the blurred photocards.

The activities zone is full of kids

'IVE, fighting<3'

'Mom and Dad, let's be happy in 2025 too'

There are cute messages like this in the section where people leave messages for Do Kyungsooㅋㅋ

+) The ZZirang-e & Charles character animations are well-made and high quality


+) Also, go check out the unique photo card that Do Kyungsoo took~

Business ❌❌ Birthday event ⭕⭕

-I'm going crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everything in those pictures is so cute

-Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so freaking funny

-Why does the peach in the first picture look so angry?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so cute how the kids are having fun there... That 'IVE fighting' message, thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋ This is so adorable

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The messages that the kids wrote are so cute

-Is that sleepy-looking penguin named ZZirang-e!??? Ah, that's so cuteㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh goodness...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is right in front of where I live, so I see it every day on my way to and off from work. It looks like Pororo, so I thought the kids now have a new presidentㅋㅋㅋ

-Baby Dives are ruling the world.

-There were so many kids and they're all so good at the gamesㅜㅜㅜ I felt awkward and embarrassed playing the games among themㅠㅠ Not to mention that I'm worse than them when it comes to the gamesㅠㅠㅠ

-I was nearby earlier... I should've gone with my nephews. By the way, did he really intend to make this for kids?? It's because I've never seen a celebrity's pop-up store like this before.

-ㅋㅋㅋ The kids are so cute.

-This is really adorableㅋㅋ Even the animations seem like something kids would love.

-Ah... This indeed looks like something that kids would loveㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, I thought it was a children's animation when I saw this todayㅋㅋㅋㅋ There were so many kidsㅋㅋ

-Kids are going to love this! The characters are so cute... I want to visit, too.

ChenBaekXi were missing from the SMTOWN Concert VCR

 pic.twitter.com/LBRogxF6UN

Only Kai, Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., and Sehun appeared in the video. Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen were missing.

It doesn't seem to mean they're leaving the group, its just that they weren't in the SMTOWN concert VCR... I don't know the exact reason.

Even the artists who have left SM Ent. appeared in the video. As far as I know, ChenBaekXi are still under SM Ent.

-I think the reason is pretty obviousㅋㅋ

-Leaving them out of the VCR actually makes sense.

-That makes sense... If SM Ent. actually included them in the VCR, people would've started throwing bullshit anyway.

-I hope they'd just leave the company for good now.

-Why would SM Ent. include them in their VCR and risk another lawsuit?

-They should leave EXO as well at this point.

-It would've been more ridiculous if they were in the VCRㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-One of them was my bias and I think the reason is pretty obviousㅋㅋㅋ

-It must be because of the lawsuit.

-They want to leave the company... Of course, they should be excluded from the VCR.

-They're in the middle of a lawsuit with SM Ent. Why would SM Ent. include them in their VCR?

-I think excluding them from the VCR makes sense, given the fact that they're in the middle of a lawsuit now.

Lay (EXO) spotted at SMTOWN concert

-I don't know much but... Why doesn't he promote with the group if he loves them so much and is still close with the members?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he a former member of EXO?

-Whoa... Seriously... This is so fascinating, I can only laugh...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He still hasn't left the group, has he? A member who does everything except promote with the group...ㄷㄷ

-What is this guy, really...?ㅋㅋㅋ He's so different from the other three (Chinese) members... He even seems to have so much affection for the group... He also still keeps in touch with the members... What's going on...? What is he doing at a concert that even CBX didn't go to?

-Why didn't he perform if he already came all the way there?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't figure him outㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he no longer part of EXO now?? Did he leave SM???

-Business NO, friendship YES

-He does everything except promote with the groupㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, he's loyalty is seriously amazing...

-That's me... Waving my lightstick to EXO's song...

-He loves EXO so much even though he's no longer in the group....ㅋㅋㅋ

-Why didn't he just stay in the group if he's going to do this?

-He has no issues with SM or EXO. He’s just a homebody who decided not to promote.

EXO Suho and Chanyeol performs 'Get It Up!' (Original by H.O.T) at SMTOWN Concert

 

theqoo 

-Suho did a great job.

-EXO is definitely EXO

-EXO did so well... As a H.O.T. fan who watched SMTOWN Concert today, I was so happy. They were amazing!!!

-I clicked it without thinking, but they really did well ㅋㅋㅋ Their live performance is so good

-This song somehow really fits EXO's vibe.

-Suho is surprisingly good at everything ㅋㅋㅋ I didn't know at first, but I watched him acting and it's actually pretty good tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Chanyeol is such a good rapper??

-I'm seriously asking because I don't know, why wasn't D.O there? I know Sehun and Kai are in the military and the rest of the members have issues with the company.

-Junmyeon-ah, see you on the 25th and 26th! Love you 🤍

-Whoa... They absolutely nailed this.

-They did so well even with just the two of them... Suho's voice is really good.

-The arrangement suits the two of them perfectly. I think Suho is a really amazing singer. Overall, this is a really great performance.

-Whoa... The two of them filled that huge stage with their presence.

-Even with just two members, EXO did great. The company should've made SHINee perform something, especially when all of their juniors and seniors are performingㅠ

[2025 SMTOWN LIVE] NCT DREAM - LOVE ME RIGHT (Original by EXO)

 

theqoo 

-The stylists should've dressed them in bright denim...ㅠㅠ

-NCT Dream really pulls off this kind of concept.

-I feel like the song doesn't quite suit themㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can tell it's someone else's songㅋㅋ

-Haechan really suits this songㅋㅋㅋㅋ As expected, NCT Dream did a great job.

-I knew they would do well and they really didㅋㅋㅋㅋ They suit this song really wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The members looked so handsome and they did really well. It's just that the styling is a bit disappointing!

-Haechan's voice really suits this song perfectly.

-The only problem with this performance is their styling.

-Besides their styling, everything about this performance is good. What's with the handkerchief around the neck, though??

-I think it's good, though?? The arrangement is well done and the song suits their voices really well.

-Chenle looks so beautiful.

It suits them really well. The styling is pretty, but Haechan's outfit is a bit too sexyㅋㅋ I hope they'll perform with a different styling tomorrow.

-I like the outfits. It reminds me of the vibes from back then.

-Chenle is so beautiful... He didn't have a lot of part here, but he still did a great job.

-As expected, NCT Dream is really good with bright and fresh concept like this. Their voices are so pretty.
