I find it really bizarre how the other members apparently didn't know. I mean, even if Kris didn't tell them he was planning on filing a lawsuit, didn't they have any idea about how he was feeling? How could Kris leaving come as a complete shock to some of them when Exo fans themselves have long thought Kris wanted out of the group?
Another thing that I find strange is how quickly Tao, Chanyeol, and Lay unfollowed him on their SNS accounts. SM could have forced them, but if not, damn. What kind of flimsy, disposable friendship is that? I get that they were blindsided, and I'd be pissed as well, but for a group who's so 'close', they sure didn't take any time to hear Kris' side of the story before they wrote him off.

Honestly, only a few members ever seemed close with Kris.
"According to several reports, Kris's side has cited that the idol is being treated as if he is an object rather than being respected as an artist. They also mention that SM one-sidedly decided on the schedules, not giving thought to Kris' opinion or his health condition. As they believe that SM is restricting Kris from his basic human right to freedom and his choices career wise, the contract should be nullified."
