Rumours began circling on Tuesday that another member of EXO is planning to nullify his contract with SM Entertainment.
The member is revealed to be EXO-M’s Tao.
Following Luhan’s lawsuit against SM Entertainment, China media outlet Sina is reporting that Tao could be the next member to leave EXO as the rumours about his departure from the group were spread through Chinese social media site Weibo. However, Tao isn’t the only one who is rumoured to be leaving the group as an insider earlier hinted EXO-M’s Lay is planning to leave the group as well.
While it’s not verified, the insider revealed that former EXO member Luhan was already planning to sign with a Chinese entertainment agency with Lay. The insider further revealed that Tao will sign with the strongest Chinese entertainment agency if he terminates his contract with SM Entertainment. However, there’s no mention of forming a new group with the rest of the Chinese members.
According to Sina, various well-known entertainment industry critics on Weibo have “confirmed” the rumour by simply posting that Tao will be leaving EXO.
