Future of EXO and Kris

I'm pretty sure all of us have heard about the news of Kris filing a lawsuit against SMent. 

Honestly, I'm sick of reading blog posts about the same news over and over again. I'm not here to share my opinion because I'm quite certain there's a handful of you out there that probably has the opinion as me. In this blog post, I just want to share some of my thoughts in this situation. Everyone's been either on Kris' side or the remaining members side and worrying about whether or not Kris will be leaving EXO and if EXO will fall right to the bottom. Other than the facts, there's more than one possibility of EXO's future that so far I've seen no one metion.

Kris is most likely going to leave EXO and it's the truth whether you want to except it or not. I'm not trying to bring anyone down but there are some delusional people who just can't seem to understand. I know that many people are worrying about how EXO will turn out. From my point of view, I think that they'll hopefully be okay. I've only been a Kpop fan for 4 years and as much as it seems like it's a long time, it's not. However, when Hangeng filed a lawsuit against SMent, it's quite likely that Super Junior fans were as devasted as we are now. Now Super Junior is doing well and recieves a lot of love and attention. Why can't you see that EXO still has hope? Of course I know that Hangeng's case and Kris' case are different but it doesn't mean EXO can't be like Super Junior and continue on as great artists. 

With that being said, I want to share my opinion of the situation. Skip this if you want but I'd appreciate it if you'd read this.

Many people have been hating on Kris because he's leaving EXO on such an important time which is their first ever concert. There's been posts saying how he's inconsiderate of s and that he's betraying them. Also, saying that SM is racist and only treating the chinese members badly is not true. Saying "Oh he should know what SMent was going to be like." "He should'be known what he was getting himself into" is total ****.

As an artist, is there ever a right time to leave? If he has left before their comeback, wouldn't people be equally as disappointed? How about leaving after their concert? What usually comes after a concert? More concerts or a comeback. It doesn't make a difference. Everyone has different limits ad Kris' might just be a little shorter than the others. He's not being inconsiderate by leaving EXO. They were abusing his rights as a living being and if they've treated him badly, they must be treating the others badly as well. It's just that Kris' goes to the point where he files a lawsuit. As for racism, it was not only the chinese members that act like wimps and can't stand the pressure (eg. Hangeng and Kris). JYJ are KOREAN artists that were treated badly as well and have also filed lawsuits against SM. And no Kris may have understood what he was getting into but you never really know how it feels like until you're actually put in his position. 

For the other 11 EXO members. Kris may seem like a total ***** for not telling them what he was going to do but filing a lawsuit requires a lawyer and experienced people. They most likely were the ones that told him not to disclose any information to anyone. It may seem like an irresponsible thing to do because yes, they will be greatly affected because of Kris's actions. Redoing many things will come out of whose paycheck? EXO's. And it's not as if they're even paid fairly either. Exo will also suffer from practicing as well because they have to fill in Kris' parts with EXO's members.

I tried to express my opinion as unbiased as possible by telling two different sides of the story. 

Suho had also recieved hate for the speech he had given during their recent win on Mnet Countdown (correct me if I'm wrong) because he said EXO is one and all those things that seemed like he was targeting Kris. During their encore, everyone left the stage leaving Suho. Although he smiled and dance by himself, there was obviously a pained expression of his face and when the members were leaving Suho alone on the stage, they clearly had pissed expressions but not because of Suho, but because of the whole lawsuit situation. 

As much as we'd love for Kris to stay, it's most likely not going to happen.

EXO will never be the same without Kris but we'll just have to work with what we have left and support them, even if it means to do so seperately. Who knows, maybe after this disaster, everything will resume to it's original state. Even if EXO becomes famous once again, Kris will be irreplaceable and won't be unloved and forgotten. 

EXO is one.
