exo mentioned but at what cost 😭😭😭😭 their situation is a very uniquely complicated one and i don't think svt would ever see themselves in a mess like that lmao but i guess it's a good example of the different ways an idol can leave a company and the repercussions it can have, kyungsoo never renewed his contract with sm but it's still a part of exo, cbx did renew their contracts but tried to terminate them not even a year later, came to an agreement to revise the terms of the contract with sm and then breached the new contract by refusing to pay a 10% royaltie fee they agreed on and then sued sm over it, that's how we ended up where we are now 😭😭😭
