Tao responded to questions about his former label SM Entertainment during the preview for his upcoming film 'Edge of Innocence'.

Tao first talked about his debut, and said, "I wasn't ready to debut at the age of 19. It was an age when everything was incomplete." Then to questions regarding SM Entertainment, Tao coolly answered, "I have no interest."  

He also added, "I don't want to take a break. I want to work simultaneously with both music and acting."
