I hope you're preparedshic to read this letter soon:
Hello. This is SM Entertainment.
This coming spring, due to his personal situation, he notified us he will halt his team promotions with the release of one [more] album.
Despite Lay's sudden notice, the agency and the EXO members tried our best and tried to figure out a way that EXO's activities can continue in the best possible direction.
However, in the midst of insufficient negotiations regarding conflicts of differences in priorities and interest, Lay started his acting career overseas. Due to this, despite ongoing talks, it has come to a point where the team could not be maintained.
Thus, the agency had no choice but to pull up EXO's activities as 9 members earlier than planned, and in the midst of while working out when to announce this.
From here on, our agency will continue to support and manage the 9-member EXO and Lay's individual activities.
