On June 10, 2024, INB100 announced an immediate press conference to reveal the unfair practices by SM Entertainment. The agency went on to reveal that EXO-CBX and SM Entertainment settled contract disputes in June last year, ensuring EXO's continuity. INB100 currently manages Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin’s activities per agreement terms.
However, SM Entertainment now demands 10% of individual artist revenue, contrary to agreements that only 5.5% will be paid, prompting an objection from INB100. Moreover, INB100 sent an official objection for the unfair demand, and SM Entertainment has filed to reply for over two months.
SM Entertainment has also responded to the allegations and said that they will not tolerate EXO CBX’s behavior of denying the contract terms. The company has emphasized that CBX agreed to the terms and voluntarily signed the contract. SME explained that the 10% royalty standard for individual activities stems from a previous court arbitration involving EXO's Chinese members.
