It seems that the whole controversy involving EXO's Kris is only heating up! More news about the singer and his possible reasons for filing a lawsuit against SM Entertainment are now resurfacing.

Earlier today, a news report revealed that Hankyul Law Firm said SM Entertainment refused movie and drama proposals for Kris. However this report was denied by a representative from the Hankyul law firm, who represents Kris and his lawsuit, saying that they did not have an interview of any sort recently.

Chinese media outlet, has released another report related to Kris saying that the singer made visits to the hospital to have his heart condition checked. The report claimed, "Kris was diagnosed with suspected myocarditis at the hospital." Attached to the report was a medical certificate with Kris' Chinese name, Wu Yi Fan. Sina also mentioned a comment from a medical profession, who said, "I can't confirm that he has a heart problem, but his creatine kinase and isozyme levels are higher than average, so we can't exclude the possibility of myocarditis. In cases like this, we suggest [the patient] to undergo another examination, and if the result still shows high levels, we can then suggest treatment from specialists as well as rest."

Kris allegedly received the diagnosis for suspected myocarditis when he had a check-up at a hospital in Guangzhou, China early in May.

In addition, a former SM Entertainment trainee and self-professed friend of Kris named Song Byung Yang, commented on the issue on Weibo, saying, "As a musician who spent 7 years in Korea, I can completely understand Kris' decision and the dilemma he went through. As an old friend of his, it wasn't easy seeing him struggle due to the severe mental stress and fatigue. Because his body couldn't handle it, he even developed heart problems. Everyone, support and understand Kris. I hope that you show him even more kindness now. Yi Fan, I welcome you home." Song Byung Yang is reportedly a former SM Entertainment trainee from 2004-2011.

Meanwhile, Kris himself has made an official statement amidst all the reports. On May 16, the singer left a brief note to assure fans that he's doing fine. The letter read: "I'm doing fine. I wish everyone the best, and I hope things will be better for you all. I thank all the people who are supporting me, and thanks for voicing your opinions. Wu Yi Fan will always be here!"
