Yes, many people say that SM Entertainment do not treat their artists well, but honestly that goes with most entertainment companies in South Korea and not just SM.

I used to be a very big TVXQ fan, once JYJ filed a lawsuit against SM, I tried to find out more about it. I tried to understand both sides and to be honest, my heart sided with JYJ, but I still tried to support the two that stayed in SM. I tried to read as much as possible on the contracts, the previous artists in SM and all that stuff and by the end of it I just thought that SM .

Nonetheless, as much as I was upset with SM, I still listened to SHINee and tried to support TVXQ so I guess I was a tiny bit hypocritical? But hey good music is good music.

So when Exo debut I just thought of them as another money making group for SM and so I just ignored them (maybe ocassionally watch a variety show where they were on). Only last year when I heard about Kris filing a lawsuit against SM did I actually properly went to go search up exo.  I actually supported Kris leaving exo because he just seemed like he was unhappy somehow. At some point I watched Exo Showtime and fell in love with them as a group.

However when I heard about Tao's situation I didn't know how to react. From what I saw (which was only the stuff on camera and not who knows what's going on behind the scenes), he was very pro Exo. He was always saying how much he loved the members and how he would never leave and then. Bam. He leaves. The problem I have with that is that I feel like the move he pulled was beyond cowardly. His father had to speak out for him? Really now? His father even said that Tao himself still wanted to stay in Exo, but he didn't want to see his son getting hurt. So then there were rumors of him going to America for rehab where he seemed like he was actively having fun from what I saw on his instagram. Then BAM. he got a CF role. He didn't even speak once to his fans about him leaving Exo or not. Then BAM he as a solo debut? really now? I can't even describe the disappointment I felt towards him. If SM stops him this time, I will gladly support SM this time. He can't say that he was injured and then have a "comeback" 2 or 3 months later (Luhan and Kris left a year ago). If that's all it took for him to recover, he could have stayed in SM. And let me not get started on his new album, but those lyrics just irritate me so much. He was going on and on about Exo at one point and he even attaced Kris when he left, but now he acts like a victim? Talking about how much he suffered? I'm sorry but Kris probably suffered a lot more and Tao used such harsh words against Kris when he left, but do you see him crying in front of the camera every time he gets the chance?

The lyrics in his song pretty much contridicts everything he did and said while he was in Exo. And his dad who said Tao still wanted to be in Exo, but to me it seems that he doesn't even have any remorse for leaving Exo; the only regret he seems to have is not sharing their success and popularity now.

Now you see him crying in every single interview. You know what it is? It's called being FAKE

Well I guess it's too much to say that I hate Tao cause I didn't really care for him enough to say that I hate him, but I am quite disappointed with him. Will I support him from now on?

It depends, but probably not. If his music appeals to me then I might give it a listen but at this point it kinda . 

The actual beat of the song is good, but it's not created by Tao which means anyone else could have sang it.

The lyrics at this point only seem to be attention seeking and his pronunciation isn't even clear so you can't even hear what he says very clearly. Not only that, what's with that rap style? Is he trying to copy G-Dragon or something? I can only say that he's failing miserably.

So what's with his 'apology' to Kris? I honestly could not feel any sincerety from him at all. If he wanted to apolgise, then he could have done it in private and not talk about it on TV so nonchalantly.

In conclusion, there is no conclusion... I was just typing down random things that were on my mind.
