Korean Netizens Are Confused By EXO-CBX And SM Entertainment’s Feud

A netizen’s post stating they were confused by EXO-CBX (Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen) and SM Entertainment‘s legal feud has gone viral.

On June 8, a post titled “Ah, The EXO Situation Is Confusing AF” went viral. In the post, which has been viewed over 90K times, the author writes that they were conflicted by the in-fighting.

Their (SM Entertainment and EXO-CBX) statements make it seem they are at each other’s throats, but they (SM Entertainment) have taken great care when it comes to EXO’s comeback. Baekhyun’s personal photo has also been uploaded to the group’s official social media accounts and YouTube. Looking at the photos of the members, besides Baekhyun, who seemed a little down, they all seemed really excited, and the members all seemed close. But the (SM Entertainment and EXO-CBX) statements make it seem like they hate one another. Am I the only one going through it? I thought there wasn’t any possibility of them coming to terms, but now I am begging them to find a way to come to an agreement.

Previously, Dispatch released photos of all the EXO members heading for Busan together. In the photos, the members all seemed to be very close despite EXO-CBX’s legal dispute with SM Entertainment.
