EXO has been quite shaking right now as news about Kris' wanting for a contract termination broke and has been a talk of fans and music industry insiders. The members have posted on their SNS accounts about the situation but it does not quite pertain directly to it. However, member Tao finally speaks up and left fans in wonder of what could have really happened.
Tao posted a photo on Instagram with a caption, "The road is long, and no one can decide where you want to go. The public will always be left in the dark, but it might be that the public will side with who is in the minority. However that's not the truth. Only those who have experienced the truth are able to understand, such as our 11 members and SM employees. To those on the outside, the right and wrong could be reflected oppositely. They probably won't know what it feels like to be betrayed by another person and then to have everyone side with the person who has betrayed us. Everyone can have their own perspectives and opinions. However, the truth is pointing to what is right and wrong. We have a clear conscience. We can't stop someone who wants to leave, and he kept this from us. As we were sweating and practicing hard for our concert, we learned that one wouldn't be coming back. We have to restart preparations for the concert as 11 members. So tired. EXO, let's love."
Fans then thought that someone has been posting this for him. However, he then updated his Weibo with a message that stated, "I am EXO member Tao. The things said on Weibo and Instagram are by me. I have nothing to hide."
