On Oct. 2, EXO-CBX\u2019s side accepted SM Entertainment\u2019s terms in full, the statement said.   <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   \u201cWhile we were working hard to prepare for full EXO promotions, we received an announcement regarding the holding of an EXO fan meeting and the release of a full album, excluding EXO-CBX,\u201d INB100 said. \u201cThe members of EXO-CBX have chosen to reach an agreement because they value the relationship with their longtime fans above all else.\u201d  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   Earlier, SM Entertainment announced that EXO, excluding EXO-CBX, would hold a fan meeting at Incheon Inspire Arena on Dec. 13 to 14, and would release the group\u2019s eighth full album in the first quarter of next year.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   INB100 said that EXO-CBX had cleared their December schedules in hopes of participating in full-group activities, and were now waiting for SM\u2019s final response via legal representatives.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   The legal conflict began in June 2023 when EXO-CBX sought to terminate their exclusive contracts, citing SM Entertainment\u2019s alleged failure to provide transparent accounting and forced long-term contracts.   <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   SM Entertainment countered by accusing external parties of illegal interference and filed its own lawsuit in turn, alleging that the trio had failed to fulfill their agreed payment terms.   <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   EXO-CBX also sought disclosure of accounting records covering 13 years of group activity and filed applications for document inspection and injunctions. The court denied most of those requests, including the document-submission demand, ruling that only records from the start of a new exclusive contract were subject to review.   <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   The Fair Trade Commission and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism concluded their investigations into alleged contract-related violations, finding no breaches.  <\/p>\n<p>BY LIM JEONG-WON [<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/koreajoongangdaily.joins.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"bed2d7d390d4dbd1d0d9c9d1d0fed4d1d1d0d9dfd0d990ddd190d5cc\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/ko_KR\/all.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source koreajoongangdaily.joins.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXO-CBX, boy band EXO&#8217;s subunit [SM ENTERTAINMENT] \u00a0 Members of boy band EXO\u2019s subunit EXO-CBX, Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin, have agreed to all of SM Entertainment\u2019s conditions, their agency INB100 said on Wednesday. \u00a0 Negotiations between the subunit and SM Entertainment have been underway since July with the goal of allowing full-group EXO activities, according [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2124035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2124034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/EXO-whole-once-more-as-subunit-agrees-to-SM-Entertainments.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2124034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2124034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2124034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2124036,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2124034\/revisions\/2124036"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2124035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2124034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2124034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2124034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
