Request For The Withdrawal Of EXO’s Chen
We do not accept EXO Chen’s decision and we do not think he has the right to promote under EXO’s name. We are requesting his withdrawal from the group. There have been many hardships since EXO’s debut and we have protected their name together with the group. We have come to the decision that Chen is not qualified to be a part of this group and will be boycotting all of his activities starting from today. We will also be waiting for a quick response from SM Entertainment.
