SM Entertainment Refutes EXO-CBX’s Claims, Cites Lack of Trust and Unfulfilled Agreement
Oct 29, 2025

SM Entertainment (SM), the agency, said on the 29th that "We have made it clear to the three parties that the agreement on the settlement of the dispute and the team activities are separate issues.'
"In connection with the conclusion of the dispute, the Company has won all disputes so far, and what we asked the three parties to do was to pay 10% of the sales of individual activities as set out in the existing agreement dated June 18, 2023. This has not yet been implemented", he said. "The issue of participation in team activities was not only due to the collapse of trust between the two sides, but also the damage caused to EXO and the damage to fans and members, so it was only natural that serious efforts from the three sides to implement the existing agreement and restore trust were preceded.'
SM filed an objection first on the 16th, contrary to the fact that the three parties accepted all the conditions presented by the company after the second mediation date on October 2 and clearly communicated their intention to agree. We are deeply sorry for the announcement made by the trio that distorted this situation. "We will do our best to support and work hard for EXO's activities that will begin in December." declared.
On this day, INV100, the agency of CBX (Chen Baekhyun Xiumin), accepted all the conditions presented by SM after the second mediation date for EXO's full-body activities and clearly conveyed its intention to agree. I've been waiting for SM's final reply with all personal schedule left blank for December. We plan to reach an agreement as soon as possible in earnest for EXO's activities as a whole.
Chenbaek City had a conflict with SM in June last year, taking issue with the settlement issue.
Next is the full story of SM entrance.
Hello, we're SM Entertainment.
I would like to tell you about the position of Byun Baek-hyun, Kim Jong-dae, and Kim Min-seok (hereinafter three people).
The company has made it clear to the three people that the agreement on the settlement of the dispute and team activities are separate issues.
First of all, regarding the settlement of the dispute, we have won all disputes so far, and what we asked the three parties to do was to pay 10% of the sales of individual activities set out in the existing agreement dated June 18, 2023. However, this has not yet been implemented.
In addition, the problem of participating in team activities was that the trust between the two sides was greatly destroyed through excessive disputes, as well as the damage to EXO's team and the damage to fans and members were great, so serious efforts by the three to implement the existing agreement and restore trust were preceded.
However, the three parties filed an objection first on the 16th, unlike the announcement that they accepted all the conditions presented by the company after the second adjustment date on October 2 and clearly communicated their intention to agree. We have no choice but to express our great regret for today's announcement from the three people who distorted this situation.
We will do our best to support and work hard on EXO's activities that will begin in December.
Thank you.
