CBX's legal battle with SM supposedly ended on the 19th with their contracts being renegotiated and all three staying at SM and in exo. That shit feels awkward man lol. I mean it's definitely a good thing for groups to come, because we've never seen artists file for a lawsuit and stay in the group like CBX wanted to, and this being able to be renegotiated creates opportunity for the next person realizing their contract has slave clauses to put their foot down, but like. These guys totally heard that if they go through w the lawsuit and terminate their contracts, they're fired, they can't be in exo anymore, because its members don't own exo, sm does. That's not confirmed, just my suspicion, but I feel like there's no way that wasn't what it boiled down to.

#ever since big time rush got back together independently of nick and viacom or any other company #the way they reflect on being fully independent and in control is really fascinating #and last year on the zach sang show (cringe host i know)#they were talking about being controlled and all of that #one them said verbatim that there were many 'sign this or you're fired' agreements #that's what it looks like to me #cbx said 'look fam we can't even see the profits of our own products and we can't tell if we're paid fairly'#not that i think the public *should* be let in on what supposed agreements were reached #i don't even wanna read that sort of thing #but i completely believe they got a 'sign this or you're fired'#i hope they genuinely did get a better contract out of it tho #exo #exo cbx #chen #baekhyun #xiumin #shut up kaily
