One Detail In EXO-CBX’s Lawsuit Against SM Sparks Backlash Online
Recently, SM Entertainment officially filed a lawsuit against EXO-CBX members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin.
The lawsuit refers to the terms of the agreement between SM Entertainment and the three members, requesting that the three members follow the previously agreed-upon conditions.
EXO-CBX has responded by filing a lawsuit against SM. However, netizens are a bit confused by their official statement. In response to SM demanding 10% of sales, they proposed something else instead.
We then asked again what SM’s position was regarding our statement. Also, we proposed paying usage fees for SM’s music and assets in exchange for 10% sales, but they ignored our proposal.
Online community posts felt that the proposal was strange as it just showed that they had been using SM’s assets for free.
They proposed to pay for usage fees, even though that’s a given? Do they know that SM could’ve asked for 10% sales and usage fees? So, in conclusion, they’ve been using it thinking it was free all this time.
Netizens also agreed with the OP that it was a given that they had to pay usage fees to SM.
- “Are you kidding me?”
- “I hope they take away their name too.”
- “Why are doing this…”
- “I can see why SM ignored the proposal.”
- “SM needs to take strong legal action. Otherwise, they have to listen to these requests from artists.”
- “They have no conscience.”
- “Just do the lawsuit and get it solved.”
- “I was confused about this part too, I thought I read it wrong so I had to look at it again.”
- “If they signed a contract, they should just do as it says. Why did they allow individual activities? If they just let it go this time, other artists will probably go to different agencies for individual activities.”
- “You are supposed to pay usage fees if you use another agency’s assets. Didn’t think I’d see the day I praised Lay paying 30% fees to SM.”
- “Huh? They weren’t paying usage fees all this time? If they are asking for 10% sales including the IP usage penalty, SM is really letting things slide for them.”
