okay let me just put something out there
"it's the nature of the industry" is not a free pass for being as shady and inconsiderate as possible in all discussions about what's going on
if anything, it should be ammo to do the opposite to hopefully cause some kind of general change in the consciousness of fans
that's all

No, I don't give a crap about SM enough to make a video about them. They haven't hit Buzz Lightyear Status yet and I can't stand that Shane kid.

Like, what the hell? Yes, it was inconsiderate and a dick move for him to just leave, but hell, these people are acting like this **** is as easy to do as it is to say. The guy was a coward, point blank, but he had the right to leave if he wasn't happy and felt he wasn't be treated properly. You don't have to think about other people when you're unhappy. Your mental health is more important than your co-members, tbh.

EXO should just keep promoting as an 11 member group, M could even keep going with 5 members if SM saw fit. I don't see what the problem is.
The worst thing they could do is add a new member.
Never ends well.

Lose the filler members? They just trained for x amount of years and don't mind that SM treat them like ****.

Remember when SNSD were appearing on Japanese shows and you could see the where the IV drips were being hooked up to them on their arms just so they could say a few lines in Korean to a translator before doing a Japanese tour date that night before being flown back to Korea that night to start appearances the next morning?
Kris literally hadn't experienced **** in comparison to 50% of K-Pop but at least he managed to gather a few coins together and get a fair proportion of his jaw removed before he decided to pull his disappearing act.

His mental health was so deteriorated that he couldn't mention it to the other members? Y'know, like in passing?

Look at f(x). They had a slow start and because of that SM lost interest and has hardly promoted them. He only seems to remember that Krystal exists and keeps promoting the hell out of her even though she's like a zombie on stage. I mean he even put her in SM The Ballad? 
New members isn't really SM's style. I remember that one time when Tiffany was having her "issues" they brought some random to replace her during a Genie performance. It doesn't work out. |

'Jungsis is coming'… 'Jessica & Krystal', June 3rd first broadcast
1. [+5,698, -413] Krystal is really pretty…
2. [+3,329, -457] Jung sisters are so pretty ㅎㅎ I’ll have to watch this!!!
3. [+2,686, -429] I find the Jung sisters so so so pretty, and the idea of the two of them on a show together sounds like a great one~
4. [+2,344, -377] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s going to be fun~ What a good idea
5. [+2,142, -339] Oh wow, looks like it’ll be fun
6. [+595, -69] Both of them are normally chic but something about when they’re together turns them sweet ㅋㅋ
7. [+463, -72] Why don’t my sister and I look like that?
8. [+355, -65] I remember being shocked when they said they were sisters since they don’t look alike
9. [+368, -82] So it’s possible for sisters to have a good relationship… is it because they work in the same industry.. my sisters and I rip each others’ hairs out
10. [+322, -60] How can these sisters look alike but also look different and have their own looks and be beautiful in their own ways.. I want to see how their mom and dad look

If something happened in the workplace I didn't like, I wouldn't tell anyone I work with, i was going to quit. Reasons why, If it gets to the top leadership they would try to take me out before i could take them out. 2. None of them were his friends and its quite obvious now. Friends don't give up on other friends that easily even when they have been hurt by them.

OFC your mental health is important and no one would want Kris to stay in the group against his will.
BUT some of you keep forgeting Kris wasn't just another member, he was the Leader and he apparently had another issues like this before.
It means they probably gave him a second chance. So, yeah, he owed them some explanation for breaking their trust yet again.

But the teaser clip was completely in English so couldn't it be possible?

Well some parts of the show may be in English as both of them are fluent in English and they'll have clips of them in the US doing magazine/fashion things
but we also gotta keep in mind that not everyone speaks (or even understands half of ) English in Korea and the show's airing in Korea so I highly doubt it

I always see a sh*tload of Hangul flying through my screen when I watch Korean shows, so I'm sure they can add some subtitles

Is there another teaser or do you mean the clock pics? 
And yeah, I thought I read somewhere it would be in English, but it wouldn't make that much sense to be all in English.
