Well I must actually get SOME of My Work finished.. BACK TO MY #MUSIC_REVIEW ..
BEEN #REVIEWING THE RECENT #COME_BACK OF THE #KPOP GROUP #EXO.. WAS ORIGINALLY A '12' MEMBER GROUP..BASICALLY BROKEN IN HALF INTO SUB GROUPS OF '6' MEMBERS EACH..
1st being EXO-K ..The KOREAN half.. They originally were meant to be doing the Singing IN Korean as well as Promoting to the KOREAN Market.. the OTHER HALF
EXO-M (Mandarin) Was made up of the '4' CHINESE Member of EXO along with '2' more Korean members making up THE CHINESE Sub Group of #EXO...
Last Year.. the #LEADER of the Sub Group #EXOM #KRIS ( Kris Wu Yi Fan ) as well as His Attys Announced HE would be LEAVING EXO & Bringing Legal Action against SM Entertainment who manage EXO.. (as well as MANY other MAJOR KPOP Artists) .. Kris is NOT a Korean Citizen, He is half Chinese & half Canadian so He holds Dual Citizenship with those '2' countries.. He speaks several Languages esp English which was a probable factor in SM Choosing Him as LEADER of EXOM instead of the ELDEST member, being Xiumin (Korean) .. EXOM was initially to be the Sub Group who were geared towards the CHINESE market.. However, when Kris Left the entire EXO Group were getting ready to kick off some promotional performances of their latest at that time OVERDOSE.. The Group & MANY MANY MANY People judged Kris Very Harshly over this decision.. tho these people weren't aware of his reasoning NOR realized his announcement was postponed in respect of the SEOUL FERRY DISASTER.. So the TIMING was off but not at the fault of KRIS.. He gave mistreatment by SM as part his reasons for wanting to terminate his Contract! .. Not but a couple months LATER a 2nd CHINESE member from EXOM EXO - Lu Han DECIDED TO LEAVE AS WELL.. Stating similar reasons as well as SM taking partiality towards the EXOK members over the Chinese Members.. LuHan is also taking Legal action against SM He also stated that HIS contract was never truly legal since the beginning.. IF it's found to be in fact TRUE, then LuHan's contract will become null & void from day 1 leaving him completely free from any prosecution of SM period regarding Breach of Contract.
These past Couple of Weeks, a '3rd' of the '4' CHINESE Members is Said to have LEFT #EXOM also.. His reasoning's were brought about by his Father who states SM has NEVER followed through with the initial agreements they had set when the initial CONTRACT was Signed for his son EXO - TAO,The Youngest or the 'MAKNAE' of the EXOM Group. TAO brought a SPECIAL ability & added alot of Excitement to the Groups ONSTAGE LIVE PERFORMANCES with his Award Winning abilities in the #WUSHU STYLE OF MARTIAL ARTS.. It was many times DURING these Special Routines that #TAO was injured.. The injuries sometimes quite severe were NOT treated in a timely manner AND #Tao was made to CONTINUE ON WITH THE GROUP'S SCHEDULED PERFORMANCES.. .. It's these Injuries & the Lasting effect on his son's body that has prompted #Tao's Father to Step in & TAKE CONTROL of His SON'S LIFE & WHAT HE BELIEVES IS THE #RIGHT THING TO DO AS ANY PARENT WOULD FOR THEIR CHILD..
HE WROTE A LETTER PUBLICLY POSTED ON THE INTERNET (which I just read myself) HE HAS BEEN TORMENTED IN REACHING A DECISION REGARDING WHETHER TO ALLOW HIS SON TO CONTINUE ON PERFORMING AS A CELEBRITY/KPOP STAR or bring his son HOME to seek Treatment for the INJURIES..SOME of which may have been left too long untreated, therefore he MAY have to live with them for the rest of his life! .. #Tao is obviously UPSET about this Decision made by his Father, but deep inside, even though he is still very young, understands the gravity of his situation as well as his Father's incredibly difficult choice he was forced to make.. When it comes to Fame or the Safety of YOUR CHILD.. ANY GOOD PARENT WILL CHOOSE THE LATTER EVERY TIME!.. TAO may or may not hold ill feelings against his Father but.. with all things.. TIME CHANGES THINGS.. FAME IS A FLEETING THING BUT HIS injuries MAY LAST FOREVER.. Therefore, I'm sure, as a Mother myself, I'm sure his Father is praying that His Son will understand WHY he made this decision as well as learn to Forgive him IF he holds any anger toward him. It's the remaining #EXO MEMBERS AS WELL AS THE #FANS that #Tao is NOT WANTING TO HURT OR CAUSE THEM TO FEEL AS THO HE #BETRAYED THEM.. I'M SURE, EVEN THO THE OTHER MEMBERS WILL MISS #TAO AS WELL AS STILL MISSING #KRIS & #LUHAN, THEY'RE ALL GROWING INTO INTELLIGENT YOUNG MEN.. THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THE TRUE REASONING BEHIND THIS & HOPEFULLY WILL NOT HOLD ANY OF THIS AGAINST ANY OF THEM. IF THESE CHARGES AND ACCUSATIONS ARE FOUND TO BE #TRUE AGAINST #SM.. I THINK SOME SERIOUS INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED.. AS THEY PRODUCE MANY OTHER ACTS, INCLUDING MANY 'FEMALE' GROUPS.. AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY VERY YOUNG #ROOKIES THAT ARE UNDER THE DIRECT CARE OF SM... IF THERE IS ABUSE, OR NEGLECT.. IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT OUT INTO THE OPEN & DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY. IT'S #NOT LIKE THIS GROUP #EXO IS SMALL POTATOES.. THEY'RE #Sm's #1 SELLING GROUP RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT... ALL THIS NEGATIVE NEWS IS DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR ANY FUTURE BUSINESS DEALS AS WELL AS WITH THE PARENTS OF ALL THE MINOR ARTISTS UNDER THE OBVIOUSLY VERY #STRICT MANAGEMENT OF GROUPS SUCH AS..>> #SUPER JUNIOR, ..#SHINee,.. #GIRLS GENERATION, #HENRY, WELL THE LIST OF THE #WELL_KNOW IS VERY LENGTHY FOR #SM.. NOT JUST SINGERS.. BUT MANY DIFFERENT GENRES OF ENTERTAINMENT..SINGERS, ACTORS MUSICIANS & MODELS AS WELL :/
THIS BRINGS US TO THE LAST & FINAL #CHINESE MEMBER OF #EXOM..
EXO - Lay .. HE'S THE MAIN DANCER OF #EXOM.. ABOUT HIS FUTURE WITH "SM".. I WATCHED AN INTERVIEW OF HIM DISCUSSING A VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS DEAL BETWEEN HIM & "SM".. THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY 'SM' HAS, FOR THE 1ST TIME IN '26' YEARS, HAS DECIDED TO 'GIVE LAY A PERSONAL STUDIO' FOR #LAY TO BE #CEO OF.. IT WILL BE BASED IN #CHINA.. LAY WILL HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER OT.. AS TO MAKING ALL THE MAJOR DECISIONS. THE PLANS ARE TO DO THIS TO KEEP THE BUSINESS 'MARKET' BETWEEN KOREA & CHINA #OPEN & FLOWING IN GOOD STANDING.. WELL THE SUCCESS OF THIS BUSINESS VENTURE AS WELL AS WHETHER Sm entertainment FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH #THIS CONTRACT MORE #PROFESSIONALLY THAN THEIR PREVIOUS ONE'S WITH THE PREVIOUS CHINESE MEMBERS OF #EXO... BEST OF LUCK TO YOU #LAY Zhang Yixing Chinese: 张艺兴; pinyin: Zhāng Yǐxīng MAY YOU ALWAYS BE BLESSED WITH #SUCCESS :) LOOKS LIKE A BITTERSWEET ~GOOD BYE~
