During an interview on a radio show this week, Kris spoke up why he decided to leave SM Entertainment.

On November 9, Kris sat down with Bootleg Kev and DJ Damage on their radio show 'The Real After Party' on REAL 92.3 LA, a hip-hop radio station, to talk about several topics. They talked about working with big-named artists such as Pharrell but also spoke brifely about the reason why he left SM Entertainment while discussing how he got into the genre of hip-hop.

He said, "...Obviously I debuted back in the day as a K-pop artist in Korea. I didn't have much freedom, they were super tight. They feed you music and you just kinda do it, you don't have freedom. You know, I wasn't really feeling it so after 2 years, I left. Went back to China and started doing solo stuff."
