h.o.t split with SM not offering three members any contracts

S.E.S disappeared with one member at a time from activities followed by a notice saying that the group was no more

Shinhwa left SM together, fought in lawsuits with SM, and are still in lawsuits due to SM-created issues that escalated over time

Fly to the Sky took off together when SM offered a contract to only one member in a group of two

TVXQ parted ways in the nastiest SM battle against three members with the pain still stinging today

TRAX was never the same again after one member went to do other things and another just disappeared

CSJH-the Grace never came back, despite hopeful news of a comeback

Super Junior lost a member, gained a member, watched a member disappear into the horizon, and added two new members with a sub group

SNSD dropped a member with details continuing to unfold

f(x) paused because a member wanted a temporary out

EXO broke away from a member after he brought a surprise lawsuit against SM into the picture

Good luck SHINee

[edited because word choices]

and it’s a GENERAL history, so relax.

Well, that seems to sum up everything.

Once again, good luck SHINee.

You're the only group other than Red Velvet (which won't count because they're too new) that hasn't had a major problem with SM in some way or form.
