[theqoo] CHEN, BAEKHYUN, XIUMIN NEW STATEMENT

1. Despite the Fair Trade Commission’s resolution of banning SM’s [unfair contracts] twice in 2007 and 2011, SM did not rectify [the contracts].

2. Calculating the exclusive contract period from the “entertainment industry debut date” (instead of from the date the exclusive contract was signed) leads to an excessively long contract period, the period which is determined by the agency’s discretion, and has already been confirmed to be unjust, but SM is still not following the Fair Trade Commission’s corrective measures.

3. Through the Fair Trade Commission’s 2007 resolution, SM already received the judgment that the contract period of “5 years from the debut date (instead of the contract signing date)” is excessively long-term, but SM actually signed even more unjust contracts by deciding periods of of seven years in the exclusive contract and three years in the annex agreement.

4. SM is violating the Fair Trade Commission’s correction order by continuing to use the expedient of an indiscriminately extended contract period for reasons such as overseas activities that are not even confirmed at the time of the contract signing.

5. Subsequent exclusive contracts that are automatically extended until the album release numbers are fulfilled are extremely unfair as a minimum time period has not been set.

6. We filed a complaint with the Fair Trade Commission with the hope that our small courage will be of help for the establishment of a fair popular culture [industry] and for the sake of junior artists

1. Does it make any sense that the EXO M agecy only allowed the Chinese members to promote overseas?

2. Huh? So they were thinking that EXO K is Korean so they wouldn't get to ptomote overseas?

3. Looking at it, this is completely different from the JYJ situation so stop comparing them ㅠ They've been having a hard time ever since 10 years ago

4. Baekhyun-ah, just try to quit and promote without the EXO name, you think that would be easy? Just pay the penalty fee and leave

5. The more I look at them, the more hilarious this is, just pay the penalty fee and leave, I don't want to see those 3 anymore

6. Korean idols only promoting in Korea?? What is this...Do they think we're still in the 90s?? The international fans who bought tickets for their shows overseas must be upset reading this

7. Why does it feel like this statement was written without clear reason just to fill up the word count?

8. Pay the penalty fee and leave, that's the best thing you can do

9. No but this is f*cking different from TVXQ and JYJ so stop bringing them up...

10. This it why people always say that celebrities pretend to be dumb, do you think they're really that dumb?
