SM Entertainment’s Scathing Decision About EXO Triggers Massive Hate Towards CBX
A recent statement from SM Entertainment has ignited intense backlash against EXO-CBX.
Following the release of a Law Times report detailing the group’s ongoing legal disputes with the company, Korean netizens reacted strongly to SM’s stance that it is now “impossible to continue EXO activities together” with Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin.
The line, which suggested that EXO-CBX’s actions had effectively severed their relationship with the group, quickly went viral on Korean community site TheQoo.
As CBX continues to deny not only the validity of their exclusive contract but also the agreements based on it, the company finds it impossible to continue EXO group activities together.

Thousands of comments flooded in as fans and netizens expressed their anger and frustration toward the trio, accusing them of betraying both EXO and their fans. Many even argued that SM should officially remove the three from EXO to protect the group’s future.
- “Just officially kick them out of the EXO universe.”
- “Good. It’s right for them to leave EXO.”
- “They’re ungrateful. Kick them out, agreed.”
- “For real, they should stop acting like they’re the victims.”
- “If they have no intention of continuing group activities, this is the right move. For the sake of the remaining members, too.”
- “Please, kick them out already. Don’t ever work with those guys who went to that company again.”
As public opinion continues to sour, the statement from SM has effectively intensified calls for a formal separation between EXO and CBX.
