I've officially given up any hope on EXO.

I don't hate them as a group, and I don't know how many times I've had to stress this fact, but I'm honestly so done with them. I'll continue to listen to their music, but I can't say that I will continue to follow all of their news and whatnot. For a group that's only been around for 2 years, they've had too many problems, and it's sad to say that I don't even see them as a group anymore. They've had so many complications in such a short amount of time that it's really hard for me to continue to follow them, and their fans only make it worse. 

I mean really. People are voting on which side to take, SM's or Luhan's. I'm not even picking a side, but I see the problems on both sides.

On one side, Luhan is right. SM should allow him more vacation time to visit his family in China, and EXO-M should have recieved financial aid during their training period considering they were in a different country. That was a failure on SM's part. However, one can't say that because you can't decide your own schedule, that it is against your basic human rights. Human rights has nothing to do with your schedule, and it shouldn't even be a question. Yes, he should be able to decide if he wants to go to something or not, but also, if he isn't feeling well, SM isn't going to force him either. They didn't make him attend one of their concerts because he wasn't feeling well. For Christ's Sake, they've allowed Sulli to be absent for this long. Why would it be any different for anyone else. The fact is, if he is capable of going to a schedule, he should go. If he is uncapable of going, he won't go. It's as simple as that. 

It was wrong of SM to deny him the right to go home when he had no schedule. That was wrong of them, but that could be settled through mediation, not with a lawsuit. 

I'm not mad at Luhan because of his decision, just like I wasn't mad at Kris for his. I don't hate them for it, because I understand what it is that they want, but I can't deny that I am upset by their decision. It's not really my place to judge who's right or wrong here, and I can't just judge them for wanted a bit more freedom. However, it does not mean that I completely agree with their decisions, and I do have my own point of view, that may differ from others. And that's fine (or at least it should be) because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

In my opinion, he should have considered mediation before a lawsuit. And maybe they already went through mediation, but we wouldn't know because they haven't told us anything about it. If he did go through mediation first, than I know that this lawsuit is necessary, but until I know, I can't really say I fully agree with his decision. 

My biggest problem with all of this is that people still don't seem to realize that Lee Soo Man isn't the CEO of SM anymore, and they keep blaming him for everything that's happened, when really, it's the new CEO Kim Young Min, who has been running everything since 2010. It would actually be great if Lee Soo Man came back, because sure, Hangeng left SuJu and JYJ left TVXQ while he was there, but you have to admit that there were a lot less problems in SM back then compared to now.

Honestly, I wish Luhan the best of luck, I really do. And I wish the rest of EXO the same amount of luck. 

One last thing:

I'm so flipping upset that Lee Joon and Thunder are leaving MBLAQ and that all of MBLAQ is going to the military soon. I'll miss you guys.
