Hopefully SM gets their head out of their asses now or looks like they're losing entire EXO members

It could be rly hard for them to change company together, SM doesn't rly like when that happens. Hopefully they think it through so there won't be unfortunate surprises for them.

At least it seems like even if they leave SM (Which I doubt, SM will probably try to give them a good deal) they might still stay together.

The fact they ARE talking about it gives me a lot of hope.

No matter what path they choose, there will be struggles but us core fans, the ones who have been here for all the struggles, the ones who care for them and support them will always stand by them.

They probably would stay if SM gave them their own label like Suju but it may be a pipe dream

They really might get smth good. Well baseline is they either get a very good deal or they get the fuck outta there. SM doesn't have many choices unless they want to loose EXO.

* unless they're dumb enough to lose their biggest Cash cow.
Whatever happens, I just want them happy and at peace.

Somehow I doubt that will happen, I mean look at the promotions this time already,they are noticeably better than before.

As long as they're happy and treated well, I am willing to tolerate S(hitty)

Since 2014/2015 EXO have been such a tight unit (and yes I’m including Yixing in that)
I’m not surprised they’ve spoken about the future and beyond their contracts. If they stay at SM, good for them, but if they wanted to go it alone they’re more than capable (plus CEO Junmyeon of his own company would be awesome) :queen:

I know Shinee had very favorable terms for contract renewal, they could make so many decisions for themselves and their comebacks and they were getting a very large amount of the money they brought in. I don't think Exo will be exactly the same just because from what Ive heard Shinee overall had more freedom but I wouldnt be surprised if they renew honestly.

I find it weird that the complaint is over money spent on music videos.

Actually i find most fandoms complaints about promotion empty/hollow when a cb does not go as well as hoped.
If the song does not resonate not much will help it unless the fandom is just stupid large.
If they wanna complain about A & R then i am always up for that.

Can EXO-L explain something to me?
Why does KrisHanTao have a 10 year contract with SM but EXO has the revised 7 year contract?

All 12 signed the same 10yr contract in 2012. What’s come out now is that apparently the Korean member’s contracts freeze during enlistment, which might be where the confusion has come from. Chen confirmed they all signed the same one back in April.
