Was the urgency justified?
The UBJ
At 4 PM KST on June 10, representatives for EXO-CBX, consisting of members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin from the group EXO, announced a press conference hosted by their agency INB100 at the luxurious Shilla Hotel. The conference addressed allegations of SM Entertainment’s unfair treatment.
The conference featured ONE HUNDRED‘s Cha Ga Won, lawyer Lee Jae Hak, and INB100’s CEO Kim Dong Jun. Yet, none of the trio from EXO-CBX were present, with Baekhyun busy at his solo performance in Hong Kong and the others having undisclosed commitments.
The announcement of the emergency press conference came suddenly earlier that same morning at 8:55 AM KST, prompting discussions among netizens about the need for such urgency.
Questions arose during the press meeting about the hastiness of its arrangement, to which an attorney for EXO-CBX expressed concerns over the possible tarnishing of the group’s reputation.
An overwhelming turnout of journalists, who received the announcement on the same morning, ensued, causing a need for additional seating options. Concurrently, girl groups cignature and EVERGLOW were holding their showcases, which some reporters elected to skip in favor of covering the EXO-CBX conference.
Reaction from the online community leaned towards skepticism regarding the necessity of the press event.
- “They talk about paving the way for the juniors but they’re blocking their futures.”
- “Causing harm to everyone…”
- “Wow…”
- “Usually press conferences are scheduled to not interfere with showcases…”
- “Ha….”
- “Such a disturbance…”
- “Hindrance to the members, hindrance to other idols, they only think of themselves.”
- “What kind of disturbance is this…”
- “So sad…”
- “Why are they like that….I’m gonna go watch the music videos.”
- “So sad…the reporters must be mad that they chose to go there after much thought.”
- “Sad…”
- “EVERGLOW made a comeback…I liked their songs back in the day…I’m going to go listen to the new song.”
