On May 14th, the news of Kris leaving the raising idol group EXO swept across the nation, breaking the hearts of fans and shocking netizens —and sadly even his own company— alike. As the group continued to promote with only eleven members, the fanbase continued to be struck by a series of heartbreaking news. Not until a while after the fandom was dubbed the name "EXO-L" they were soon hit with the next crumbling blow. Following after two months of crammed schedules, fatigue, and overexhausted due to stress, eventually the beloved deer Luhan filed a lawsuit against SME, causing for the stocks to drop drastically and a series of fandom commotion across the net. 

Although there is still that internal fight between the fans of whether or not to support for their fellow members, or start a riot against SM Entertainment's harsh contracts in regards of managing their artists. With the multiple scandals coming from the large entertainment, from Sulli's indefinite hiatus from f(x) to Jessica being kicked out of SNSD, this has definitely been the worst that the kpop fandom has ever seen from this infamous company. 

But there is more hidden between the slave contracts and the talented SMRookies, what has been seen from the outside is much different from the commotion occuring on the inside. Now, the truth will be revealed, the truth behind the scandals, and the reason for SME's constant failure in maintaining their artists decisions. Welcome to the exposed truth, were the evil mastermind behind SM will reveal the hidden truth, and the sinistier system will be unveiled to public. 

Is there really someone pulling the strings behind-the-scenes as SME had predicted? Will our precious China-line of EXO-M being leaving the group in order to form a new group in China? Come closer fellow EXOtics, as we will lift the curtain to see the truth behind the reason for our missing members of OT12.

It's time to uncover the truth. 

❝ It was a working environment where it felt that I worked like a robot in a factory"

Hey everyone! After receiving the news of Luhan leaving EXO, I felt like my heart was literally being torn in pieces. And the fact that the news of each member from corresponding groups in SME hit me one by one made the torture only worse. Especially since Kris's departure since May had only started the beginning of the disconnection from my kpop love, it followed by Sulli with her mysterious and adrupt hiatus, then Jessica... But once Luhan's news had literally smacked me in the face, it was the same as rubbing salt on an open wound. I know that different fans and EXO-L can have different views and perspectives about the certain scandals, but I hope that this story will be able to provide a vent-out for feelings of misery or severe sadness —as I am experiencing currently.

So just to lighten my heart, I'll be posting this multi-chaptered story as a time-skipping spin-off of what I've declared to be the truth in my twisted version of fantasy and reality. Just to blur the lines and add a spice of imagination to it, this will be a mystery novel regarding the system behind all this madness and the evil mastermind behind all of the scandals.

Want to read on? Just keep on supporting EXO, regardless of OT11 or OT10, we still need your hearts here, darlings.
