EXO's Tao's Instagram and Weibo updated with posts about feeling betrayed


The EXO members have been speaking out on their thoughts after Kris filed against SM Entertainment asking for the contract to be nullified. While others remained a bit more vague and ambiguous, Tao spoke more directly on the topic, leaving fans to wonder just what could have happened to lead to this situation.

He posted the photo above and wrote, "The road is long, and no one can decide where you want to go. The public will always be left in the dark, but it might be that the public will side with who is in the minority. However that's not the truth. Only those who have experienced the truth are able to understand, such as our 11 members and SM employees. To those on the outside, the right and wrong could be reflected oppositely. They probably won't know what it feels like to be betrayed by another person and then to have everyone side with the person who has betrayed us. Everyone can have their own perspectives and opinions. However, the truth is pointing to what is right and wrong. We have a clear conscience. We can't stop someone who wants to leave, and he kept this from us. As we were sweating and practicing hard for our concert, we learned that one wouldn't be coming back. We have to restart preparations for the concert as 11 members. So tired. EXO, let's love."

When he started to see the feedback he was getting on Instagram as well as Weibo with fans speculating that someone else had written the message, his Weibo was updated again with a message that stated, "I am EXO member Tao. The things said on Weibo and Instagram are by me. I have nothing to hide." He also posted messages along the lines about the truth surfacing sooner or later, further leaving fans to wonder about the truth of the situation.

What do you make of all this?

Tao expresses his side feels betrayed over the unfortunate situation



Amidst the unfortunate situation going around EXO after Kris files lawsuit for contract termination today, fellow EXO-M member Tao writes down his thoughts through his personal instagram and weibo account.


Along with a photo, he wrote a lengthy note,



"The road is really long, where you want to go, no one can decide for you. The truth will always be hidden from the public, perhaps the public will choose to side the minority, but that isn't the truth. The truth will only be understood by those who have gone through it. Like the 11 of us members, our company SM and the staff. But on the outside, the good ones have been reversed to become the bad. You all will not feel the betrayal that I have felt, after being betrayed, and everyone actually sides this single person, you guys can have your own opinions, but all I want to say is that the truth apart from what's false, we know it in our hearts. One person chooses to leave, we can't hold him back, he has found his ways, and has escaped successfully. At a time when we are unaware, he actually secretly went away without letting us and the company know. The drive to do certain things will follow many people, but I hope that everyone will use this thirst with good intentions. Practicing and sweating a lot in the process, but realised that one person will never be back, this news, and the concert has to be prepared all over again with 11 people, it's tiring. Let's love EXO~"

The same post has been posted by Tao on his weibo account as well, but already deleted some. He stated that the post on instagram is actually written by him in response to fans' speculation that someone might have written this on Tao's instagram account.


Despite of this whirlwind situation, fans on SNS are cheering for each other and throwing different opinions such as, "Tao would never write something like this.","I don't know who to believe now.","Are they trying to make Kris the bad one?","This is too much to handle." and so on.

Nevertheless, this is a situation where fans need to encourage and cheer for each other. Fighting! This too shall pass.

EXO's Suho comments on Kris' suit against SM Entertainment, calls his actions 'irresponsible'


EXO's Suho gave his two cents on Krisrequest to nullify his contract and lawsuit against SM Entertainment, becoming the first member to speak on the issue.

Osen met up with EXO-K in the 'M! Countdown' waiting room after their performance of "Overdose" on the May 15th show, and Suho spoke up about the recent developments involving fellow member Kris. He told Osen, "All the members had a conversation. We don't understand Kris' actions at all. Everyone was caught off-guard and have mixed feelings."

Suho continued, "I think Kris' actions are irresponsible and show that he's not thinking about EXO at all. Our members and agency have no issues. What Kris needs to do right now is take back the lawsuit and apologize to the members and company."

There's also speculation that Suho's comments on the 'M! Countdown' stage afterEXO's win with "Overdose" are in reference to Kris and his lawsuit. Receiving the trophy, he said, "Thank you for the big award. Thank you to all the people who love us. It's Teacher's Day, so I want to thank Lee Soo Man sunsaengnim. We won't forget this blessing. I sincerely love the EXO members. Our motto is, 'We are one,' and like the motto says we'll become an EXO that think about EXO and our fans instead of just our individual selves. We'll work hard. We are one. EXO, I love you."

Fans have noticed the EXO members allegedly unfollowing Kris on Instagram and leaving mysterious messages as well. What are your thoughts?

[Updated] Sehun & Chanyeol post on Instagram seemingly in response to the situation + several EXO members unfollow Kris?


Fans probably aren't the only ones at a loss about the current situation as EXO'sSehun has seemingly also expressed his state of mind through his latest Instagram post.

The question mark seen above was posted by Sehun, following the news of Kris's lawsuit against SM Entertainment, and was accompanied by the caption "...". 

Fans also noticed that Kris is no longer followed by most of his members on various social media accounts like Instagram as well as Weibo. Although some proposed that perhaps some of the members may not have followed Kris to start with, others noticed that the members, who were definitely seen following him just recently, no longer have him on their lists. So far, at the time of writing, Baekhyun is the only member who still has Kris on his following list.

Neither SM nor Kris's lawyers are offering much details regarding the situation, but reports have emerged stating that 'Kris's side' has spoken up to say that this situation has come about as Kris felt that he was being treated as an object and all his schedules and activities were decided for him by SM without regard to his opinion or health, which left him to feel that his basic human right to freedom was being violated. It's not clear at the moment who 'Kris's side' that some of the reports are referring to is as the words aren't from the lawyers or SM. 

Meanwhile, fans have been taking to Instagram and other SNS means to remind the EXO members that 'We Are One' to relay their message of support and encourage the EXO members to stay strong and get through the situation together.

[Update] - Chanyeol has also just posted on his Instagram, leaving fans even more confused. 

Along with the EXO logo, he has written a caption which translates to, "reward virtue/good and punish the bad/evil".
