(INFO) Baekhyun's agency I&B100 was established on June 23, 2023. Xiumin and Chen have joined the agency for solo activities. EXO activities will remain under SM.
“He[Baekhyun] feels that it would be nice if other artists receive protection because of his efforts. He heard that the contract terms of his juniors were amended and felt that his courage to voice out was worth it and rewarding.” -Lawyer Lee Jae-Hak
Okay so I've been watching the Pineapple Slice MV for two hours now and I still can't believe it. My jaw dropped and I’m still not okay.
The song is amazingly good. I thought it would be more of a cute citypop song, but the song has a dark vibe that I really liked. It makes me want to dance and I might even buy a pineapple later at the market so I can dive deeper in its sweet slices 🍍🔥
Baekhyun's breath control is INSANE and his voice seems more and more stable and powerful (here I'm referring to the live performance, since in the MV everything is previously recorded lol).
I'm completely in love with the MV. We can see that he worked hard with his team and delivered EVERYTHING. The filming locations are beautiful, the colors fit perfectly and there's a story being told from start to finish. Compared to his other MVs, this one is absolutely perfect. We can see a huge leap here from SM's Baekhyun to INB100's Baekhyun: much more confident, much happier and much freer to do whatever he wants. Also, he looks so relaxed! He’s indeed in his best shape.
The vampire concept? I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THIS. Baekhyun broke the internet and for the past two hours I've been seeing comments like "I want to be bitten by him". I was a teenage fan of the Twilight saga so you gotta understand that I haven't heard this kind of statement in at least 15 years. I can't believe Baekhyun made the vampire aesthetic cool again. This man is a LEGEND.
Also, all those Michael Jackson references in the choreography? I almost FREAKED OUT. His moves are a very well done homage to the king of pop. I'm so fucking proud of him. Album of the year, artist of the year, Baekhyun deserves all the success in the world!
I hope Pineapple Slice is a worldwide success so we can have an international tour 🥵

lNB100 claims that SM Entertainment is now asking for 10% of all BAEKHYUN, CHEN, and XIUMIN individual activities under lNB100 (music release, concerts, advertisement) when the first negotiation settled at 5.5%.
— “Despite previous negotiations, SM changed its position, failing to meet the 5.5% music distribution fee it promised to guarantee and unfairly demanding 10% of sales from artists' personal activities (…) CBX is not obligated to pay SM the 10% of revenue, as they created a new entity with their own publishing company and earn revenue from album sales, concerts, etc., in their own name. SM does not contribute to these activities, so there is no connection with SM.”
